In the same way they added a big warning on all the forum links outside CCP's domain, in the same way they posted and updated multiple threads about how to defend from phishing and hacking etc, there should also be an effort into providing information and / or tools for the honest players to be SURE they are 100% running allowed stuff.
Otherwise you are providing a Ferrari engine to a Ford Fiesta. Sooner or later you'll notice how having crappy tires and city car brakes does not work so good with 500 HP.
As for the "sht happens, deal with it", I supposed in some countries it's a custom to have people sentenced to death and executed and then eventually find out if they were innocent. In the others, the defendant is given tools for self defense, there is a proofing system. If CCP goes the hard fist way then they should also implement a resilient proofing and possible defense system for those they suspect of cheating. I think you are turning things upside down.
In Real Life, there are local laws, national laws, a constitution, international treaties, courts with judges, advocates and so on to protect your individual rights. They are very complex, very costly, sometimes burdening society quite significantly, but very important.
What we are talking about here however, is a game. Of course, individuals have rights, and especially in an MMO that attempts to simulate a society, there should be a good framework of rules between provider and customer to govern that relationship. As a matter of facts, there are those rules: http://community.eveonline.com/pnp/eula.asp
Is that flawless? Does it cover every eventuality? **** no! However, do you want CCP to create virtual world constitutions, and courts, and appeal procedures and more of that just so they have completely cover all their bases in case rule lawyers get all uppity about not having very explicitly in full detail explained to them what they can and cannot do? Really, no amount of work in would ever satisfy some people. Even in real life in some of the most sophisticated justice systems, many people are rightly and wrongly disappointed by rulings and unclear about their rights. What makes you thing CCP can improve on that? Personally I would rather have CCP take a "common sense" approach and deal with legitimate complains on a case by case basis instead of spending vast amount of resources in fruitless efforts to appease rule lawyers in a game about internet space pixels.
And really, if you don't trust CCP in trying to actually keep paying customers instead of unfairly taking their stuff, then you should probably unsubscribe now and go do something else with your time. They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I always have the best intentions for others ... |
