EVE General Discussion

Just to summarise OP - Dude tells Corp he is out of game for a while for medical reasons, afforementioned dude gets screwed over by afformentioned corp. Am I missing anything?

Regardless of your "welcome to EVE" and "htfu" comments, it all seems rather heartless.

The truth of this situation is of course unknown but to be honest if someone in game told me "im out of game for 2 weeks to have a baby" or "im out of game for the forseeable future to have major surgery" then frankly Id wish them good luck and see you when you get back. Screwing them over in their absence would not really enter the equation.

Am I wrong?

... I bask in the chaos of this thread ...

IF REAL: I find the fact of the scam regular, I was scammed right upon login when a nameless person bought my free implant in 2005 for like 10isk when I was barely a couple of hours in the game and several others I learned the hard way, up to this day I still fondly remember Lofty for the scam named after him, good memories, but the act of gloating upon the act of this, apparently mentally ill person is a bit , extreme, distasteful and just plain wrong. There are limits, even in a world of rogues and deceit, there are limits.

IF FALSE: 7/10 made me talk for a bit with partners in the room and a twitter repost.

IF BOTH/NEITHER: the Chaos basking was glorious as I enjoy reading people's answers and snippets of some were resent to colleagues in the field.

Just weak...I'm not surprised that it happened though. People say, "This is Eve, rarr, rabble rabble." Eve is hard, yeah, but its an MMO, real people are involved, people who make friends even in the most openly despicable corps and alliances. The degree we invest in those friendships varies, but in the end, its the same. And for some, those friendships mean a lot. To be betrayed by those you consider friends can sometimes be the straw that broke the camel's back.

I hope everything turns for the best for him and his family, its going to be a long road. I'm glad the offenders are no longer anonymous at least. Surprise, a Nulsec crew.

Well here is my story (short version):


- I was asking in german channel for help - I got "helped" via audiochat from an older woman ...and got rid of all my ships. I was told: "this is eve, this is eve!" and that it was my mistake and that a lanugage channel is not a help channel..ok, but extra audiochatting for such purposes is a little bit too much rl for my taste...and its less gamecontent but much more like trying to steal somone elses gamekey of course....for which player usually get banned in other games...Keep in mind if you are speaking to somebody you are talking to a real PERSON - and not to a virtual avatar.

- a few days later I was asking in official help channel some mining questions - SAME people catched me up in the belts and looted my container.

This is much more player created "additional content" - and has nothing to do with ccp ans eve.


At Fanfest 2001, CCP was asking their "f.uck yeah!" - answers from community for questions like : "Do you like spaceships?" ...and less "do you like to betray other player?"


IF CCP cannot handle active player harrasement ( and yes I do feel harrased if same people try to loot me more than serveral days) they should bann them from help channel - and use a CCP moderator in their OFFICIAL HELP CHANNEL.


Such a helpchannel-"quality" in a complex mmo like eve is really cind of ridiculous.

Please keep the discussion in the original thread. Thanks!
