The process for getting into GoonWaffe is thoroughly documented in the avatar of Something Awful forums user 'vyst', known as "Aryndel Vyst" in EVE. ~*a proud belligerent undesirable*~ TheMittani.com: The premier source for news, commentary and discussion of EVE Online and other games of interest. ~~~~i am god~~~~ |

yes, a 2008 character with a corp history and signs of regular activity is certainly a "goon alt"

You send your self hate mail then petitioned it? Because you sure sound like some kid who got hurt and cried about it. People get scammed in EVE every day. Scamming belongs within the game and is officially approved by the makers of EVE. After 4 years playing this game I would think you should know that by now. But because people like you (and me) fall for it, the scamming keeps on going. So you lost a few space pixels. **** happens, just move on and shrug it off. By posting here you gave your scammers icing on their cake.
his main is from 2006 and he got scammed by a dude who has only been playing since november ~*a proud belligerent undesirable*~ TheMittani.com: The premier source for news, commentary and discussion of EVE Online and other games of interest. ~~~~i am god~~~~ |

Those that laughed about saying suing has been overly used, actually yes it is legal to sue someone from things that happen in a video game. Just like Facebook, there was a local guy from my state that posted on FB that he felt like blowing up a school he was so mad. A concerned parent called the police they arrested the guy the next day, but those concerned parents did not send their kids to school that day because of what he said. They sued the guy for their kid losing education time and yes this being a place of where you can make a buck doing anything, he had to pay the parents for loss education time.
There is also group of people who buy game accounts from gold farmers and when their account gets banned from buying it, they simply recall the money and when paypal refuses to give them the money back they sue the people they bought the account from. Even tho it states in the EULA it is against the rules, the way the court seems to work here they are still awarded money from the guys they bought the account from.
Sad part is, they have won numerous amounts of times and they continue to get away with it.
So yes, there are people who play video games just to make a buck over harassment and sad thing is that it is legal and ties up the court system over stupid non-important things rather than all the important cases. But, if it makes a buck then people will do it just to get a dollar from someone else.
yes, making literal terrorist threats online is just like scamming someone in eve online
clearly an open and shut case you have there ~*a proud belligerent undesirable*~ TheMittani.com: The premier source for news, commentary and discussion of EVE Online and other games of interest. ~~~~i am god~~~~ |

Everyone knows about the scams when joining goonswarm, it's your own fault for not checking the internet before joining. It was stupid to give the goons all your stuff, and just a stupid to come to the forum looking for comfort and support.
we don't scam new players because they generally don't have anything worth scamming ~*a proud belligerent undesirable*~ TheMittani.com: The premier source for news, commentary and discussion of EVE Online and other games of interest. ~~~~i am god~~~~ |

scamming is not a mechanic
if you don't like it because it goes against your vision of eve as a world of ponies and rainbows, maybe you're playing the wrong game ~*a proud belligerent undesirable*~ TheMittani.com: The premier source for news, commentary and discussion of EVE Online and other games of interest. ~~~~i am god~~~~ |
