GM favors player to get ships back
Home + GM favors player to get ships back 04 Nov Posted by Czech Lion in Articles | 104 comments GM favors player to get ships back
Posted from Eve player û Devilsspawn:
A few weeks ago, I was given access to an account that was purchased by a corpmate for RL cash. He paid $1000 for it from a friend. The account had 30B in liquid ISK, a Nyx fully fit, as well as an Ark and other miscellaneous items.
I was enraged at the fact that this guy has been selling things for RL cash using the site ôplayerauctions.comö. KIA corp has been doing this for a long time as well, namely KIAEddz.
The owner of the newly purchased account, weÆll call him paul for now. Paul used the 30B on the account to buy an Erebus from KIAEddz (his long time friend and former CEO) since 30B is about the build cost of an erebus. The pilot that was sitting in the Nyx, also had perfect titan skills. So the Nyx was moved onto a holding character while it was put up for sale at playerauctions.com for $650. The price and fit has since been changed on playerauctions.com because the fit was takne off the Nyx and placed on the erebus. Here is a link to the sale http://www.playerauctions.com/offer/wts-nyx-38307339/ I know it is this thread because the Nyx being sold had 2xT2 trimarks, and one T2 CCC, and not many NyxÆs would have those rigs that way. Most are 3x T2 trimarks.. Anyway, back to my point.
After the Nyx was moved off the titan pilot, it could now pilot the Erebus. The transfer was made, and the erebus was moved to our low sec staging POS where it would be fit and fueled. Listening to Paul on teamspeak made me sick. Having to listen to him over and over bragging about how he is better than us because he owns a titan. I got fed up with it. I had the account info, so I purchased an erebus pilot, and contacted an old friend to hold the Nyx. That night, as soon as paul logged off, I logged the titan and Nyx in, and transferred them off to the newly purchased titan holder, and my old friend. They were to be sold for ISK.
In order for him not to suspect me, I had to act like I had no idea what was going on, and give him reason to think someone else stole the titan. I came up with a story about not being home that night, and whatnot. I had 2 of my in game friends corroborate my story, and he took it. Paul didnÆt think it was me. He was under the impression CCP took his titan and Nyx because of his RMTing. They filed a petition anyway, and contacted GM **** û here is where it goes wrong.
KIAEddz got involved in the petition because he supposedly has a personal relationship with GM ****, and other higher upÆs in CCP. GM **** decided to help them in getting the ships back. After a few hours of looking into the situation, temporary suspensions were placed on the accounts currently holding the Erebus and Nyx, and emails were sent in an attempt to get a clear picture of what happened. Meanwhile, Paul, the original account owner, and KIAEddz supposedly told GM **** that the account had been shared, and that 3 people had access to it. GM **** agreed seeing 3 different IPÆs logging into the account, one of which was mine. My main account hadnÆt been touched, nor had I received any correspondance with CCP up until today.
This morning, I awoke to find 4 new emails. Half expecting this to happen, I chuckled and proceeded to open the emails entitled ö EVE Online Account Suspensionö and here is what followed:

This was the same accross both emails I received from CCP about this incident. The only line relevant to me, is ôObtaining unauthorized access to anotherÆs EVE Online account or account informationö however, I DID receive authorization to use the account. I WAS authorized by the account owner to use the accounts.
Meanwhile, Paul, KIAEddz, and the original account owner are getting away unscathed. They are the ones that should be banned. They gave me the information to the account, which is pretty much saying ôyou have access to this account as if it were your own.ö. They are the ones RMTing ships and getting away with it. They CLEARLY broke the EULA by giving the information out.
EULA excerpt û ôYou will be asked to select a password during the registration process (ôPasswordö).

My case is solid, my reasons are clear. My accounts should NOT be banned, theirs should. Yet my accounts remain banned, while they are not being penalized in any shape or form for their violations of the EULA, and for their maltreatment of this game. The GMÆs have been informed of the RMTing, they have been told that I was authorized access to the accounts, and yet they do nothing. This is another display of favoritism from CCP., similar to yesterdayÆs events (TEST TCUÆs being destroyed).

Just for the sake of clarity, you're upset because you logged into an RMT-purchased account, that never belonged to you in the first place, to steal RMT-purchased assets, and now you're butthurt because you were permabanned for doing it on your main?
That, sir, is pants-on-head-******ed.

This is right about where everyone should stop reading, if not beforehand. Account sharing is not allowed, it has never been allowed, CCP has banned people for doing it before and continue to do so presently. They don't care if Raptor-Jesus himself gave you the Buddy-Christ-thumbsup, account-sharing is a bannable offense, and is stated QUITE CLEARLY in the EULA we all agreed to.

This is right about where everyone should stop reading, if not beforehand. Account sharing is not allowed, it has never been allowed, CCP has banned people for doing it before and continue to do so presently. They don't care if Raptor-Jesus himself gave you the Buddy-Christ-thumbsup, account-sharing is a bannable offense, and is stated QUITE CLEARLY in the EULA we all agreed to.
Please, spare us.
CCP's unwritten policy for account sharing has always been "at your own risk, and we'll use it against you if we want to justify something". Furthermore, account sharing is a bannable offense for the account owner, not the person who accessed it. Shoehorning what has happened (according to OPs story, at least) under "hacking" is ridiculous.
(Raptor-Jesus has been notified of your heretical views.)

Most people seem to miss the point in this thread.
OP violated EULA (perhaps to expose an even worse infraction) and had his accounts perma banned.
Eddz and Krisz from KIA also violated EULA in a far more serious way but because Eddz is friends with the GM dealing with this and alot of CCPs neither have been banned.
I know for a fact Eddz advertises the fact he is RMT'ing his supercaps and accts from time spent on KIA TS where the purchaser also frequents so I have no doubt in the OPs story.

Quote: CCP IS/WAS and Always will be corrupt when it comes to their little sandbox game. Anyone that's been here a few years can think of multiple instances where CCP and the GM network have done things in a bias manor where they have a personal interest in a particular result.
We got the 'internal affairs' department (if it actually exists) to calm the rage of the t20 incident, and of course was only done because that particular incident made it out to the masses.
CCP won't do anything any different, they won't respond to this or any other thread about such matters with anything meaningful and in fact will more than likely simply lock it.
This thread will also be locked for 'lack of content' (or lack of content they wish to accept exists, head + sand + lalalalalalalala")

Looks to me like you account shared and stole another players stuff. Sorry mate but that's always been perma-ban territory.
The other chars should be reprimanded or banned for RMT. Whether they have or not I donno. Maybe there was not enough proof. Doesn't change the fact that you violated several rules EULA and you got hit with the ban hammer because of it.
Why dident you just bring the RMT proof to a GM and get them to ban the guys instead of the crap you pulled?
Maybe just wanted to steal the stuff and got caught? So now your whining to the troll brigade?
TLDR: You messed up. Deal with it.

CCP have all the information they need, if there were no truth to such terrible press and outrage they would have made a statement to refute this im sure.
Why would Eddz even get involved in this situation unless he had a vested interest and felt he could influence the outcome.

How long ago did this actually take place? The reason only one person was banned so far is probably because that's all that CCP has solid evidence for. They could still be investigating the other people, but that seems unlikely since I remember a Dev/GM saying they ban accounts during the investigation process to make it easier.
If Eddz really is getting favoritism from a certain GM, I don't think that GM is going to get off without a few problems of their own once IA investigates. After all the previous problems from when a Dev/GM assisted certain people "under the table" I think they'll take it a little more seriously now.
Also, Zymurgist must be slacking off. He missed one mention of the site address in the OP when he was cleaning it.

One thing I will say, Even if ALL is true, even if some is true, heck even if none is true, this still doesn't affect me. I know I should be outraged, but if this is true, this level of corruption is so minor compared to what we deal with in politics EVERY DAY. Politics affects my real life, CCP affects a game I play for fun. If someone wants to cheat at a game, so be it. I cheat at Monopoly all the time. Yeah that's right, I'm always the banker and I still those pink fifties mwuhahahahaha

They don't care if Raptor-Jesus himself gave you the Buddy-Christ-thumbsup, account-sharing is a bannable offense, and is stated QUITE CLEARLY in the EULA we all agreed to.
Please, spare us.
CCP's unwritten policy for account sharing has always been "at your own risk, and we'll use it against you if we want to justify something". Furthermore, account sharing is a bannable offense for the account owner, not the person who accessed it. Shoehorning what has happened (according to OPs story, at least) under "hacking" is ridiculous.
(Raptor-Jesus has been notified of your heretical views.)
And I quote:
Quote: You may not obtain, attempt to obtain, use or attempt to use the password of anyone else.
That should settle that argument.

^^ This. Pulling off a naive stunt hoping that CCP can't trace the item transfer is stupidity. In the case if you had been expecting a destructive outcome where all associated accounts are banned (including your own), then that qualifies for extreme stupidity.
However, I would grade it as super extreme stupidity as obviously you can be easily touched off by simple bragging - thus setting off this drama
That said, there's enough smoke here that CCP IA's should pore into this case, imo. |

Originally by: Lady Spank Edited by: Lady Spank on 05/11/2010 15:44:14 While getting caught account sharing is an issue here, really the most disgusting element of this is how only this guy got his accounts banned and yet KIAEDDZ gets no such bans and can continue RMTing ships and accounts.
Just remember, you are accepting the word of a self-proclaimed liar and theif who openly admits he has an axe to grind with those he has accused.
OP: All in all a fairly well done troll.
I like the part where you undertook these bannable actions because you just couldn't stand listening to them brag on TS anymore. Very nice touch. It allows you to keep up enough momentum in your diatribe that people ignore the illogic of taking bannable actions to bring things to light instead of simply reporting it with proof.
I give it a 8/10, but playing to the crowd that will automatically accuse CCP of favoratism (without any proof what-so-ever) is a bit too easy to score any higher.

I can see the big ban hammer hovering above a lot of people now.
Remember, CCP does not like when people break the rules. Account hacking is bad, account sharing is bad, isk trading is OMGGOTOHELL bad.
With that said, I suspect that you'll never get back to eve and probably won't start all over again so you'll get into WOW, or VENDETTA or something else.

Regardless of whether or not you think the Account in question was RMTed, The account was hacked by you. You stole his items. So CCP is well within their rights to Ban you and ignore all accusations from you about the said account and it's holder.
You admit you used the guys login in to steal items then you complain because a GM does their job and retrieves the items and bans you for account hacking.
GM was doing his job, that doesn't mean he is showing favoritism.
Idiot OP is an Idiot.

Just because you *think* someone is breaking the rules that doesn't give you the right to go over CCP's head and start laying down the law yourself. If you have proof that the accused are involved in RMT then give the information to CCP and CCP will deal with it.
Temp bans on all accounts involved with account sharing and giving back assets is CCP policy and it looks like they followed it correctly here. You are whining because you failed to steal a titan + supercarrier by account sharing. GTFO.
For that matter why should anyone believe that they gave you the account information? For all we know you are an account cracker. You got owned like you should be and any RMTer will eventually get owned as well. - It's not "Play through a pre-set story, become stronger, do endgame". Gameplay is open ended, and you make your own story. Unless you're too afraid of 'pvp grief' to do anything relevant |

Assuming the OP is honest about his intentions, I'd let him off with a warning.
Of course, if the RMT guy is a CCP insider, they wouldn't want to do that and would ban him to silence him.
That's what seems to have happened. It doesn't mean it has happened, but it does look that way; especially if the RMT guy didn't actually get banned.

You may not share your Account with anyone, or allow anyone other than you personally (or your minor child, if you have registered an Account on behalf of your minor child) to access or use your Account. Joint or shared ownership or use of an Account by more than one user is prohibited.
This, coupled with rule pointed out by you, would suggest that, in case both offenders have an EVE account, they are both in violation of EULA and should be punished. Punishing only one party, as in this case, is unfair.

Many people ask the question "ccp do you even play eve?" when complaining about bugs.In my opinion its pretty clear when you see stuff like this.Infact I would say the people responsable for administrating "in game" are too involved.
This is not the first time I read about something like this.I read an old post where a player killed and podded a gm and you should have seen the fuss they made over the corps.He had to give it back to the gm.Doesn't relate to the op much,but goes to show that a gm has as many in game interests as we do.Which should not be the case because they fly around in their cheat ships all day.They should be 100% fair and stick to the rules.In that case the gm put himself out there to get podded and should have brushed it off and kept going.
You dont see the admin on a cod server with a super nuke pwn gun that blows up half a map just because he's an admin.
To the op..I have no doubt that the gms have friends in game and favor them at some point or another.I do think all accounts should have been banned in that case,sorry to say it op but yours too.You went about it the wrong way.
Another thing you should have done is post your story somewhere else where it wont get muted.Anything you say against ccp here will get nuked or ignored.Only thing I can tell you is stay away from the gms and people who "know" them.Take it for what it is and move on.Quit or dont,but learn your lesson.

CCP have no need to explain their actions to you or set out how they deal with other players that break the rules. They have explained to YOU, how your rule breaks will be treated.
For any individual it is that simple, there is a set of rules, abide by them and you can play the game. Break them and you will get banned.
The fact that you try to justify your rule breaks by pointing out other players infractions is neither here nor there. You are only responsible for your own actions. You cannot justify breaking the rules because other people APPEAR to be doing it. That's how anarchy breaks out.
CCP bans rule breakers either quickly or in the fullness of time but cheaters will get dealt with. I'm a bit bored of the emo conspiracy theories, I think CCP have better things to do than cheating in their own spaceships game.

Because you know something we don't?
Because any part of this story makes sense?
Or because... more likely... you simply prefer to believe conspiracy theories.

I dont think the point here is that he wants to get out of it, but more so he wants the other 2 speeders to be ticketed as well.
And yes it IS favouritsm you idiots. The GM is looking into it on behalf of KIAEDDZ that on its own means it is a biased opinion.
Also account sharing is bannable for all parties involved. The owner of the account should also get the ban hammer. All accounts should be banned while being investigated not just one. Clearly more GM favouritsm and GM should be fired for even looking into it for his 'buddy'.
You are walking a very fine line CCP. How many more strikes before people decide its time to call you out? |

The above is assuming what the OP says about the GM friendship is fact, as far as we know itÆs all hearsay...
But instead of doing the proper thing and contacting CCP about the other two guys illegal actions the OP decided to take the law into his own hands, access the account and steal assets, then lies about it...
He gets caught, which Im not sure why he didnt think he would when they could easily track it all and now he whines on the forum about favortism.
You're a sore loser and a dumb one at that.

I sure hope the GMs would be looking into it on the behalf of the victim. If, during that investigation, it shows that the victim was actually in on committing the offence and yet the GMs do nothing, then it's time to start wonder what they were thinkingà

Where 90% of you dummies in this thread complain about how the OP is wrong...
CCP banned 2 accounts based on IP address.
The OP should have had a better story like
"some guy came over his house and saw this dude talking in comms, whipped out his credit card, bought a holding character, logged in to both accounts as I had the ID/PW on my desktop in a file. He then transferred the Titan and Supercarrier to my characters... I'm really innocent in this"
If the story is true. The accounts who purchased isk from a RMT site should be banned. Not the ones on the same IP address or we'd be banning a lot of accounts who use LAN centers or hotspots to play EVE from.
