And only a moron would care.

Pedantic mode ON:

IIRC the phrase 'toon' became common usage to describe a MMORPG character/account back when EverQuest was the reigning king, and has stuck ever since.

Deal with it.

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

You want to know what immorality in EVE Online looks like? Look no further than Ripard "Jester" Teg.

Try to be VERY careful when boasting about stealing stuff in the sandbox freedom of EVE. Robbing someone of his PLEX, which is directly associated with real life money can be prosecuted as a criminal act according and depending on laws and regulations applicable in each country/state/other (read the terms of service). Not to mention advertising it. You will find the relative detail in your post.


Are you kidding? PLEX is the sole property of CCP - the scam in-game never involved any transfer of virtual assets. God save us from these mewling space lawyers...

Legal? Probably.

Ethical? Nope. Just another joke scammer trying to ruin the game experience of people actually working together to, you know, play the game.

I hate it when I see someone quit the game over something like this. Then again, putting $1000 into an online game in a short period of time is kinda strange.

Scamming it might be for the best if it convinces him to stop playing instead of spending a fortune on imaginary currency.

I've been trying to crack open the wallet/assets of this wh corp my new character is a part of, quite frustrating because there are little to no excuses to get a director role. But I'm pulling out all the stops.

People here might applaud the 'OP' but I think these actions are hateful and utterly disgusting.

What a weasel to come here and brag about it.

bragging about stealing from a startup? Are you looking for validation? Looking for a pat on the back? You won't get it with me, you have no honor.

Captain, we are detecting a massive buildup of butthurt in this sector! We must jump out of here quickly as the Veers Anomaly is forming at its core. If we linger any longer, the non-event horizon will overtake our location and we'll be trapped in an eternity of tears and angry posting.

i think he is entitled to spend his money on whatever he wants, if he gets entertainment from mmo's then why not spend the money instead of p!ssing it up in a bar or sniffing it up your nose. you code guys are funny you try and dictate how industrials should play the game in "your highsec" now your sounding like your trying to dictate why people shouldnt spend rl cash on a game grrr code.

i guess he is stupid in way in letting some random take all his stuff, personally i couldnt do it to someone so bravo for keeping a cold heart throughout the scam
