So I read the forums quite a bit and am always amused by c&p. And i notice some like to warn others of some guy(s) that have wronged them in some way; a scam, corp theft ,whatever. I always wondered why post that someone has ripped me off because really who's gonna read it? Odds are the thief doesn't read the forum and no one here will ever see him in game. Most of the time you get flamed anyway.
I am not a fan of this kind of conduct. However I enjoy reading of a grand heist. But the more substantial ones like in the billions or more, not the couple hundred million or so. Because if it ever happened to me surely I wouldn't post it here.
But I am here and I'll tell you why: I got robbed. And although at first I was pissed off (who wouldn't be a bit) I know he didn't get away with much. He cost me more time than isk really. To summarize he joined my small wh corp recently and asked to setup a lab to research a bpo. Warnings bells went off because i didn't want to let him anchor/unanchor stuff in our pos. But I Let him any ways because what's the worst that could happen, right? So rational caution gives way to desperate trust- mistake.
Well it did and I've already moved on but what I don't understand is why he did it. Our pos is (or was rather) a large tower with some guns/ewar/etc, a hanger and a ship array. Total value of ships and stuff might be 200 mil. So why take it when you could easily make that in our wh doin sites for a few hours because it obviously took him a long time to unanchor everything and remove it (20 pos mods or so). Well he didn't take the tower and a few guns but the rest is gone. It would have been a few trips at least. I guess i just don't get small time crooks...
But somehow I feel better about posting it. |

I understand that the c&p crowd thrive on stories of woe, but why post here if you know the reaction you're going to get? To warn others... meh. Proof or GTFO. I would be embarrassed (I still am a bit) that I got duped by someone and posting here seems to just inform others who to point and laugh at. Just feeding the beast I guess.
But I also enjoy the stories as well so what does that say? Looks like I am a bit of a hypocrite. |

I am of the same opinion as DigDoug.
When people post here about their tragedy or injustice I don't think they realize what they're in for. The trolling and flaming can be epic. And I thoroughly enjoy it.
That being said I am surprised at the lack of trolls/flamers here. I applaud you C&P, maybe you aren't always the scum of space or the worst of the worst of EVE. At least when you don't want to be. |
