EVE General Discussion

Hello!


I've bolded the stupid part, no offense intended but whoever decided to put that in there should either put a little more thought into things, or have a babysitter who isn't clueless about EVE.
The warning text that comes right after the bolded bit is all that was needed, there's no need to involve gamemasters when there's no account sharing abuse, exploiting or hacking involved. - EVE is supposed to be a harsh gritty game that punishes foolishness, mistake and misplaced trust.

You might not want griefers like myself preying on innocent gullible fools using the recruitment channel, (I haven't actually done so, I prefer different forms of griefing) but it's not really any of your business what happens once the conversation leaves the channel itself, making it your business is pointless, expensive in manhours and most importantly against the spirit of the sandbox - CCP interfering excessively in our private affairs pisses your loyal customers off who in many cases came here for the freedom EVE provides.

(f.i. the thousands of people who started playing after reading about the UQS heist I and DigitalCommunist did back in 2005)

Your banning an eve celebrity for petitioning and encouraging others to petition this change in policy is another stupid decision, have you really still not learned your lesson about this kind of thing ?
This kind of thing doesn't give you new customers or prevent newbies from leaving the game, it encourages loyal players to quit - the exact thing that caused your recent financial difficulties and necessitated firing twenty percent of your workforce.

(GJ not firing anybody the least bit responsible for the mess you got yourself into btw, just get rid of 'em worker bees and grunts and leave all the management intact)

1 Thread already open on this post there, request thread lock

2 This is the same rule in all OFFICAL CCP CHANNELS.

3 Uhm its been there for a long while how long did it take you to notice this?

And yet some more griefer tears .

I dare you to scam in the help channel then.

The other thread is a week old. Change been there for about a month

finally

Also don't you know how to recruit scam outside that channel? Sheesh.
Any real scammer worth thier salt knows how much more effective that is when you sit down one on one with somone.

Hey don't be hating on durrhurrdurr, he's an entertaining fellow, you're clearly just a jealous bigot.

Since there are some replies.. .i will add something too

Scams on personal level are un-interesting, and more or less meaningless.

Nobody cares how many Drone AI or trit you sold. Or how many you got from an person for an promise to get him/her to some corporation/alliance.

You want to be known, you have to do it on alliance level. Once you crash one of the big players out there leaving their alliance in ashes with all the assets they have then you will be known and as far as i know thats not against rules.

Anyway seeing from where you come from, i guess you got it already covered.

I know plenty of scammers that hang out in the local of the nearby starter systems and thats all they do all day long. Thier favorite one is ship jacking.

Also I dont delete stuff out of edits usually if I did I would have made some grammer corrections. It just saves me from making dozens of posts.

That's the thing according to this rule if you originally met them in recruitment channel you're not allowed to scam them, at all, including in personal chats and private channels.
They can always petition and cry to a GM who will have to waste his time investigating.



That's pretty pathetic, but hey if they find it enjoyable then good for them - will probably teach their victims a valuable lesson that'll prevent more significant future mistakes.

You could also sit in one of the starter system with your alts to find ones that are less than a week old and scam them.
