EVE General Discussion

Except, of course, that the blog did more to harass the victim than the bonus room did. Perhaps you missed his public discussion of the issue?

In other words, if someone gets murdered IRL because of in-game events, CCP not only condones, but squarely files it in the "someone else's problem" column.

I agree with the internet penis on this.


For a lot of people, and that "certain" kind of player for whom if I use that "path" word they flock to rail against (doth protesting too much?) gaming around a given line of conduct IS there game and it would not matter if this was internet space ships, or cars, or even an MMO version of angry birds or something - they will find ways to greif and act coy about it trying to turn the blame on everybody else.

CCP leaving the line open and not clearly defined keeps that certain kind of player in check. So of course they are going to demand a line, and if they got it, 500 clarifications on that line that they can pour and scheme over. And if they can find one line in one paragraph of one subsection of one section to clear them on some deplorable action, they will get all smug about it and then exploit it to the max (for that is their game) and then later cry about it when the hole is plugged.

Lots of people live like this out of game - it's their whole life. I've dealt with them.

People please read the OP before you post... The key word here is existing . This means no change and for a good reason. Change was not needed.

RL harassment and scamming is already against the EULA. I think that's the way it should be. If someone harrasses a player based on some RL issue he has that person should be dealt with harshly. For example if you ridicule someone for being overweight and living in their mother's basement... This is a personal attack and totally unacceptable. Now if I say "You suck at ship fitting... Why would you put Light missile launchers on a Raven" this is an in game critique and should be acceptable.

What seems to be an issue is many people can't separate RL from "In game". If you're getting seriously upset over something that happened in game perhaps that person needs a break from video games to put things in perspective. Sure I'm upset when I lose a few billion ISK... That lasts for a few minutes and doesn't involve any tears on my part. More like "Crap that was really really dumb on my part". Not "OMG OMG OMG what is he doing... Wait don't do that... Why is this happening to me???"


Many of the posters asking for some change remind me of gun control supporters in the US. "Lets make new gun control laws so we can stop the killings". Of course no killer wants be charged with carrying a firearm because he might get 5 years in prison... Now those pesky murder charges where he could get the death penalty are no biggie though lol

Erotica 1 reports that he cannot log into his account and believes himself to have been banned. He says he has had no communication with CCP explaining if its temporary or permanent. He also says

"I do regret that CCP did not provide me one iota of guidance as I repeatedly requested in forums regarding bonus rounds and the like. I have been handed a rather long rope (the sandbox) to metaphorically hang myself with. "

So, it may be that everyone is now safe from having someone talk them into giving them their Eve stuff and then making fun of them when they do it. Eve is saved.

Ohh please! Stop with the BS already. My boots are only so high.

Your contention here makes no sense. If you werent referring to his CSM status then he is still justified in speaking out on issues surrounding Eve. There is nothing wrong in bringing issues to light for open discussion.

I think your real gripe, which you cant really argue without looking weak, is that there are more people out there than you thought that find this type of behavior unacceptable, and that for once on these forums we have been louder and more convincing than people like you.

I think if you listen to the Sohkar bonus recording in earnest, you'll discover what is wrong with the entire thing.

You forgot that it's pretty much guaranteed CCP saw the Bonus Room article on Miner Bumping ages ago.

Right but the property owners don't care. They have established what is acceptable and if an issue is raised they will judge the case given the existing evidence (the case) and the existing rules (the law).

Now I know the socipaths are going to be angry for a bit and I already see people saying they are going to petition every little thing.

Therefore let me offer my time and services to CCP in this thread in helping with petition reviews. I know that small minority is going to try to make themselves look like the entire player base with mouse clicks, so dumping their petitions may well be enjoyable knowing what kind of people are sending it.

Hell Yeah bro!! I wonder how twisted I can take this and get away with it. Now that I know there is no limits. What do you all think?? Could I get someone to kill thereself irl??? As long as I do it indirectly and stay in CCP rules I should be alright! When his family is crying at his grave I can point and laugh "Your son just got EVE'd". Gonna start today in jita recruiting likely mentally disturbed candidates for my pyschological abuse.
