Hello fellow Eve pilots, i understand most of you here are familiar with the Bonus room scam and the controversy of Erotica1?
Well my good friend who i have known for some time decided to try Eve and under my wing i took him in and let him into my corp,now i do realize that i should have made him aware of such a scam but i had no idea he would be so silly as to fall for the bonus room scam. But hey ho he did and has now lost all his isk mostly paid for with real cash and all his SP, they have even had him lower his sec status so concord will keep killing him..

Now he wants to quit the game which is understandable and i have advised him to file a ticket requesting that he get his belongings back and his SP. Now i know there has been many cases like this and players either learn from it or quit but all i want to know is why have CCP still allowed **** like this to happen to new players and not seem to be looking after our new players?

And i know those Cyber bullies like to record there hilarious bonus rounds ,does anyone know where we can find them to listen to it as we would like to determine how serious this one is ?

I'm assuming that Ero was not involved in this. I might be wrong though. OP, stop bringing up the new player card. Your friend was running around with large amounts of isk before he knew its value and decided to risk more than he should have. He lost his gamble, and now you're on the forums complaining about ingame assets. I have no sympathy for that. If the perpetrators of this scam clearly had the primary intent of "bullying" your friend, after he had nothing left to take, then perhaps we can talk. Not before then though.

Admits friend is an idiot. Calls it cyberbullying anyway. Eve = Competitive environment. Idiots do not fare well. Working as intended.

Does he have any assets left? If so

Can I have his stuff? Also, why are you posting this for him?

How did they get him to lose skill points and hack the game so Concord will kill him based on his sec status?

I'm starting to think your "friend" isn't the only idiot here.

The recording of the masterful experiment in social interaction run by Ero 1 can be found here.

However, for your scurrilous use of the term 'cyber bully' applied to people simply metagaming within the framework of 'HTFU', 'Be The Villain' and 'Everything Is Fair Game' as marketed by CCP to this day, we must add a +1 to the Kill-It-Forward queue, while we await CCP's clarification of the 'HTFU' trademark, to perhaps 'HTFU..unless someones feelings get hurt' alternate version...

However, if you renounce your use of the term 'cyber bully' in the next 2 hours, the Kill-It-Forward warrant will be rescinded.

Otherwise, an innocent carebears blood will be harvested in your name, to fuel my Ashimmu....

OP you failed your friend by neglecting in your responsibilities as CEO to educate a new player you had taken under your wing.

You could have prevented this.

If anything you should be maing a public apology to your friend.

The OPs "friends" problem is twofold, he was both greedy, and an idiot.

As above Idiots do not fare well here.

"I wonder if I asked people to get repeatedly podded in an alpha clone until they've no SP left, just to prove their loyalty in my scam room... nah that would never work."

It's such a crazy notion that it makes me wonder if anyone even thought of it and didn't do it before someone thought of it and did. Genius and madness coming together.
