CCP, you should sit down with your lawyers and some people who actually play this game and rethink this and, re-write the rules, from the ground up if necessary, surrounding "impersonation". I'm no legal wizard, but the English language has enough words where actual violations of the EULA can be addressed while normal meta-gaming is allowed or encouraged.
Skimming GM Karidor's clarifications I see where I could have been banned many times over and CCP would lose three paying accounts; all for what is considered "normal and customary" in EVE online. Bizzaro-world was the term used a few pages back. It was well said, in my opinion, this is where thread has gone. |

The GM's need to stop giving us their "interpretations" of the rules. They shouldn't be "clarifying" or "interpreting" anything at this point. I said it a few pages back, but senior Developers and CCP's legal team need to look at this. The CSM can help craft the language.
Probably the most idiotic is the "you cannot impersonate an NPC entity". That is probably one of the stupidest things I have ever seen in an MMO.
As many much smarter and more eloquent that an I have said in this thread, the game already gives a LOT of tools to verify someone's identity.
CCP, stop screwing around and address this.

If the new rules are actually intended to protect any reputation I might have why can't I either implicitly or explicitly give people permission to scam using my name or my player group's name either in advance or afterwards?
By that same logic, if I have a reputation of a dirty scammer, is it now against the rules to try to become a more honest resident of New Eden. Is the new Johan misrepresenting the old Johan and therefore subject to ban? |
