EVE General Discussion

CCP does IP-bans for some violations. They ban the kids account, they'll catch the fathers account in the same net.

This actually begs the question, what is CCPs policy on this?

Violations go against the account-holder. But some of their measures can actually punish another account holder in the same household – or on a shared network.

OP, Well I wish I could feel sorry for you but based on your post.

I am having a hard time believing any bit of your story.

If it is true .....maybe you should let your wife deal with all the bills and any important desicions cause just WOW.

Yes this is what we were trying to tell you. And CCP has been this way from the beginning iirc. The reasoning for this is because of the relationship CCP has with your bank account an such. The other problem is that the nature of EVE means that account sharing is VERY prone to theft and so if you were to claim that items were missing or that your account was stolen altogether then CCP would have even more reason to not help you and just ban you cause you broke the rules to prevent it in the first place.

What you can do like others has stated is to buy a PLEX (with your son's money of course) and sell it on the market using an alt or a corp wallet and then transfer it over to the effected character. You should be 200 mill or so in the green.

The purpose of the punishment in the form of a negative wallet is to make it VERY clear to NOT ever do it. Hell you could even make your son earn it back by making him rat in belts or do some missions or something so that he learns the lesson well.

As for the attitude you're getting from this thread, well I think you're getting a negative response from us cause we're picking up a bit of a self-entitlement complex from you. If you've played EVE as long as you say that account has been open you'd already know this about the community. We're both one of the most helpful and ruthless communities the internet has to offer for a gaming community.

ESPECIALLY when talking in places like GD or CAOD. You'd likely have had a MUCH better response in the New Citizen's Q&A and even though you aren't a "New Citizen" by any means it doesn't mean you can't ask questions there. I will admit though, NCQ&A still has its trolls and you'll have to take some advice with a grain of salt but most of us in there genuinely want to help. I guess we just sometimes like to reprimand you a little bit to make it stick :P

Let me put it this way regarding account sharing. What would happen if your son was driving you car around an wrecked it when he didn't have a license or insurance? I don't think anyone would be happy about that. If you wanted to let your son be able to use your almost 10 year old character you should have made him his own account and transferred over the character so that everything was legit. The consequences you're getting how are a combination of your own lapse of judgement as well as your son's.

I have not read all the posts, but a lot.

My questions is whether or not the ability to sell/xfer the toons on the account was locked due to this infraction? I'm just curious.

As far as compensating for the fines: no big deal. If you have a BS, run L4s. If you're paranoid about incurring losses, run L3s in your BS. I'm sure you have some resources left over, so use them. Ratz drop reppers so you can repair for free.

Really, grind thorugh some L4s and you'll be in the black again soon and saving for pirate mods...

If Eve Online had even a good fraction of the subs that say WoW has, the game would be an unplayable mess, and I'm sure CCP knows that. There's a reason WoW has a zillion servers.

You allow your son to play the game. He engages in RMT on your account. Then you come on the forums crying about the ramifications of what your son has done and expect a positive response? You should be grateful that your account wasn't permabanned.

As an FYI, your account is negative because all the money that was RMT'd was taken back. Since you are such an old character you should have friends that could help you out. I'm sure they will understand that it was your son that was the RMT and not you. It is also a good thing you talked about this on the forums. No halfway decent corp will take you now after a forum search.

I am not a fan of people that engage in RMT. They hurt the economy of the games they play and have a negative impact on my experience and that of other players. Foisting the blame on another person that have gained access to the account through yourself against the Terms of Service / End User License Agreement does not matter. It just seems like an attempt to deflect the blame.

No sympathy here.

I'm sorry, you're here whinging about the punishment you received for cheating, and you think there is a lack of respect?

I'm pretty sure you need to look a little bit closer to the keyboard to find a lack of respect.

Cheaters get all the respect they deserve, whinging cheaters get slightly less.

I say it all the time... never ever let your kids use any of your stuff, esPECIALLY your computer. They cannot be trusted!

If your story is true, what we have here is a classic case of a Parent Tax. These hidden fees will crop up from time to time, but always lead back to the bad decision to have children.



:p

lol!

Tool.
