Well it's one thing to play the pirate and it's another to be one. CCP has always encouraged criminal behaviour within their game or atleast not in the beginning to such an extend. Yes there has always been scams and such, but the minor punishments where there. However at one point i believe ccp just gave up the struggle and simply allowed it under the mum of piracy or the words welcome to EVE. For the last few years players have complained about the scams beeing out of controll and yet still ccp does nothing about it or atleast not much. Sure you say what you say, that you don't aprove of it effecting reall life, etc. Sure it might be true, but lets face reality your just covering your own ass, no offence.
If you encourage criminal behaviour within the game, it is logicall that reality will follow. It is an endless debate, but aslong as nothing really changes, don't expect people to change either. For there are no rules in EVE that can stop me from talking a guy into suicide or scamming him untill he become so frustrated that he kills his wife and children. hell i'm just bored and evil so why not. Sounds harsh doesn't it, but the reality is that yes you might monitor the chat's and forum's, but you cannot controll what happens beyond those means. Yes you might swing the banhammer, but those can be circumvented by creating new characters, etc. and there are no other means in eve that stop me from doing those things other then someone else complaining about it. But hey it's not possible for them to complain if there dead or in jail.
I agree it should not effect reall life, but it always does. If i where a new player in EVE and i see someone announce a great deal on the chat, i would think ow a trading game, maybe i can get a great deal. The most naturall way of thinking is that all humans want to improve there way of living thrue all means necessary. So it's logicall that that behaviour carries on into the game aswell. However if it then turns out to be a scam, who knows what happens in my reall life, who knows how many hours of crap i had to take just to buy that one plex, not to mention the monthly fee's. So that 1 drop in the bucket could be all that is needed to make me go haywire. The truth is simple, noboddy likes to be scammed or be victimized by it and where specially not paying ccp to experience such an experience. One could argue it's there own fault, but let's face fact's, not everybody can be as smart as you or see what's is infront of them.
In how far ccp can ennact controll over these type of things is yet to be seen. However allowing scamming to be constantly announced on chat's is just the beginning to something more worse in my oppinion.
Let's just hope CCP learns from EVE on how it's not suppose to be done and make's sure Dust 514 or World of Darkness does not end the same way. |
