Making the transfer conditional on a "donation" doesn't seem any different to making it conditional on paying a price. It's a nice attempt and, knowing CCP's inconsistencies, he might get away with it but it's the kind of logic that doesn't really stand up to scrutiny. He specifically said he did not have the isk for the transfer, which implied that he had given it away. That people bought into it because of greed (HEY! FREE CHARACTER!) and donated isk to cover for the transfer.. well, yeah. Just proves that people go full stupid. Whose scrutiny are we talking about? That you are trying to project your morality and ethics in this thread is obvious. RAW is talking about the scrutiny of any neutral party who is asked whether
"I give you X in exchange for Y"
and
"I give you X if and only if you have donated Y to me first"
are qualitatively different statements.

The something was a character and the transaction was advertised on the forum; rules are pretty clear. Oh? If so, CCP should have stepped in and lock the thread and suggest that Az Tek makes a post in the character bazaar so people could *bid* on the character. I agree, but mention of ISK started during offhours and the OP strategically rushed things along after that point. We all know the turnaround time on moderation is pretty slow. So how about you tell me why people weren't playing good samaritans beforehand, hm? because then we could never have extracted 10 pages of entertainment from it? |
