Originally by: DocKevorkian As epic as this kill is (truly, truly epic -- a kill for the ages) I can't help but be troubled by CCP's lame justification for making plexes portable ("We hate having special things") when the $~1000 cash paid for the plexes that will never have to be honored is obviously the reason.
which he could have redeemed in perfect safety without ever leaving a station, his choice to undock and his responsibility for the loss, bugger all to do with ccp.
So if I were to throw a gun into a monkey cage it wouldn't be my responsibility if they ended up shooting eachother or (heavens forbid) the poor zoo employees/visitors?
I believe your view of 'responsibility' might need a check-up.
An intelligent entity according to current human social standards CAN in fact be held accountable for his or her actions pertaining in the (unnatural) manipulation of a lesser intelligent entity to exploit it.. anyway according to greenpeace and several environmentalist laws passed by many beaurocratic entities.
Oh wait, did I just render the entirity of the marketing and advertising strategies 'free world' corporations use illegal and unethical?.. I think I did.
We live in a world full of hypocracy, and mankind is unlikely to change soon.
We have forgotten why it is we trade (to share your knowledge/skill/expertise or services with others in the hope they will share theirs with you for mutual benefit), and have come to see MONEY as the end-all goal of trading and, in fact, living.
Money is merely a tool created to make trading easier while in the end all it has done is put a wall between us and the people we are trading with. Money has resulted in people not being able to see the happiness their work brings to others, the WHOLE REASON we trade to begin with. MONEY has completely consumed our society and is now concidered the single most important thing to have and aquire in this world. MONEY has transformed from being the road to the destination.
Money is the root of all deception, bad advertising, poor quality products, bad QA, bad PR and it has literally removed our very reason for trading.. to see a smile on the buyers face as he looks over your finely produced product and inspects it for any flaws. Feeling angry with yourself when he does in fact find a flaw, but also feeling an incredible job satisfaction as the customer complements you on your fine work and accepts the trade.

DISCLAIMER: I am not trying to say CCP is innocent nor am I trying to say CCP is guilty. All I am trying to say is this is a complicated matter and should not be concidered as lightly as you do, if at all.
you forget one thing...your supposed to be both human, and an adult to play this game.
If you throw a gun into a cage with a bunch of human adults adn they shoot each other, you are not responsible.
Comparing the EVE playerbase to monkeys makes you one of them.
