Welcome to the real world. Please name one business that does not work like this?

Go into Wallmart, complain about something and if the manager thinks it's economically justified to give you a gift card for your troubles then that's what he does. But the manager might just as well tell the guy to get lost and lose a customer. That's his decision and his decision alone. Coincidentally you have the same type of people in Walmart as on these forums. Person A got a gift card so logically person B should get one too because it's only fair

So tell me, if you get a gift card from Walmart for some kind of inconvenience, you think every customer of Walmart should get a gift card too? What world do you live in?

That's exactly what I was saying (apparently we agree after all). And apparently someone at CCP weighed the options and felt that his would be the best result. And he's probably right. Because out of all the people who have been screaming 'IMMA UNSUB' for the past few weeks, how many do you think actually will? 80% of GD is pure trolling anyway and the other 20% will have forgotten this ever happened by the time their sub expires.

In the grander scheme of things, why does this matter?

If someone stole my account, and killed my character over and over and I lost years worth of training, I'd hope CCP would fix it. Its no different than if someone steals an entire alliances assets from hacking an account, or disbanding an alliance completely.

What if someone from CCP gave the login information to the ceo of goonswarm to some "friends" to have them disband the alliance, should CCP allow that to happen.

So if my ex-girlfriend who knows my login information for eve decides to kill my character 100 times because we broke up thats ok, because I willingly gave her the password I use for facebook.

Yes, because you would have violated the EULA-
"You may not disclose your Password to anyone or allow anyone to use your Password to access the System or play EVE. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Password and for any damage, harm, lost or deleted characters, etc. resulting from your disclosure, or allowing the disclosure, of any Password, or from use by any person of your Password." (emphasis mine)

Hey CCP, I've lost quite a bit of SP over the years due to clone loss, since this is apparently not a game mechanic, I'd like my refund please.

CCP...

Before the Battlecruiser skills were split, I was shitfaced drunk, forgot to update my clone, and lost 12 days of training in Battlecruiser V.

Now I understand that is my fault, and I probably shouldn't have been playing drunk, but...

Y'know...

Gotta be fair to your players, right?

As disheartened as I am that this has happened when I have been subbed and forgot to set skills etc. I actually think they did good here.

Depending on the circumstances one chap has lost a colossal amount of skill points thru pod deaths and claimed it was his brothers fault etc.

If somone got so depressed they started doing it and regretted it. or if someone had their account hacked and this done to them you would EXPECT them to be restored to a prior the event time.

Its not that hes been given free SP hes just has it restored after what I would describe as a funny scam?

I mean come on he earned the skill points like the rest of us originally anyway. He just had a really stupid decision undone for him. I would of done the same thing, how would you feel if you got drunk and lost 20m SP getting podded? I would file a petition!

I feel like the topic is misleading - as it was restored not given
I feel like it is a private matter between the GM and player
And i feel like this is here just to stir up hatred for CCP.

Reading the topic i was enraged. looking at it I can understand the decision. but many people wont read. and many people will be enraged.
