So! Ladies and Gentlemen,
To settle a little disagreement between an "honourable" Ransom Taker and I being a Miner, we have decided to enlist the help of the general public.
Let me tell you the situation,
I was mining in the asteroid belts when a Pirate by the name of James 315 approached me in my Orca and started to attack my ship. Naturally, He opened a channel of communication and demanded the ransom amount of 90million ISK per ship. I, of course, decided to pay him because I didn't feel like losing over 900mil worth of mining assets. So I payed him the 90million ISK BUT I accidently put an extra 0 into the figure giving him 900m instead of the agreed amount.
So, I told him this, and he continued to destroying my ship and I ended up losing my Orca, Hulk and my Implants. Valued at over 2.3b. He said that I didn't give him the correct amount thus allowing him to destroy my ship and everything i had in it.
We then took this to a station where we continued to discuss this issue and he and I both agreed that we should see what other players think.
What are your thoughts on the situation? Do you believe he should reimburse me the 2.12b minus the ransom which of course i had every intention of paying or do you believe that i should suck it up and accept that I lost 2.12b over a typo? |

I am not his alt, frankly that is insulting. I would never sink as low to become a pirate
Oh and I am not humilited. I am rich :) I know that if I undock from a station who knows what will happen. Golden Rule of eve. Never undock if you aren't afraid of losing it |

This reeks of alt, due to the identical writing style, the first post on that char, the lack of butthurt, and the name drop in the first post.
Why would I be butt hurt haha? Honestly! I thought EVE was for more mature people and if you want a screen shot i'll give you one
Oh and the fact that this is my first post on EVE forums, is because I don't value other peoples opinions as much as I value my own |

Really? Then what the **** are you doing?Not many people here care, you chose to share. You clearly do value them.
It was James idea, I left it up to him. |

I knew he had no intention of paying it all back, nor did I believe that this had any real purpose other than to confirm what I already knew.
I am not going to cry over the fact that I made several huge mistakes in which I ended up losing a small chunk of my money.
Such is life.
All I have to say. |

Your absolutely right. It seems it is not just Eve though. It is online gamers in general going south. Say what you people will, but ganking, greifing and dishonorable conduct used to be far less prevalent across the board. I had been hoping this had not reached Eve.
What the. You mean not spread from EVE? Besides c: why is interacting with players bad. The game is for fun and the best fun in EVE is a reaction. You cannot blame people for getting the easy reactions - the negative ones. You can't have your cake and eat it too! Fun for fun's sake and adventure as much as you want in any way you want. Is it really fun to be talked to in a abusive manner? There has always been an amount of smack talk sure, but it wasn't like I see today. Mostly it was "Wow your really bad" or "You suck". How about paying a ransom only to be killed anyway? Losing not only your ship, but your pod as well for no reason (So called pirate ganks and pods miner)? Wardecs with no rhyme or reason? Once used to extort ISK now used just because. I get a little sick in my stomach when seeing people raving about "enjoying the tears", it's sad honestly. Now comes the part where you jump on me about how I must of lost a ship do to some gankers right? I have never in my 5 years of playing Eve lost a single ship to anything. I have ran a 0.0 corporation and been part of others, so it's not from a lack of danger. No you don't get my API either. That my friend is why interacting with people has become bad in my opinion. I left my corporation of several years because they to decided ganking and podding anyone and everyone was acceptable.
Couldn't agree more

- You're an idiot for not paying attention DURING HULKAGEDDON.
- NEVER EVER EVER PAY RANSOMS. It only encourages further behaviour, and they have no responsibility to honour it. You're only taking their word for it that they will. The word of someone who has already attacked you.
- In conclusion, you're a senseless noob who deserved to lose over a billion in assets by risking it with that guy around in the first place. Not only that, but the "he started attacking my Orca and mining ships" part leads me to wonder where Concord was in all this. Surely OP isn't dumb enough to take an Orca to a belt in low sec. And if there was no Concord retaliation, then this is just a butt-hurt carebear who lost 2.whatever billion isk worth of assets to defend a cargo container worth of rocks. Well done.
Hhaha ... Do you see any butt-hurt in my comments? |
