I think we're all forgetting the biggest issue here, and that is Erotica's scam room. There, they collect their victims, on the false promises of possible mass wealth. From here, they collect all their ISK and assets, make them sing silly songs for their twisted amusement, get them to mail pictures of themselves, and follow it up with them being podded over and over. Updated clones are not allowed, proving the whole point is to decimate their skillpoints. And the result? Cheated players, scammed of their wealth, assets, skillpoints and dignity. Personally, i feel this is massively worse than CCP reimbursing ONE PLAYER of the skillpoints there were scammed out of. The only reason they are making such a big deal out of this supposed "scandal" is that it effects their ongoing tear collection. This is dangerously close to online bullying, and i'm not surprised in the least that it could go on to have real-life effects, especially when actual photos of the scammed players in question are floated around the internet to laugh at, as they are currently are.
Personally, i think this shameful scam has gone too far, and is far worse than the possibility of a single players EULA violation. Just how many other people are going to be directly effected, in the real world? Losing all your isk to a scam is one thing, and could even be considering to be part of EvE, but losing skillpoints is devastating. It's effectively losing the real-life money that went into the subscription time to acquire it, all for the amusement of a few individuals who ultimately profit from the entire event. And to top it off, your scammed face and badly sung song is floated between these tear-collectors, like a prize.
So, i ask you, capsuleers, just how far is too far? Perhaps they can get them to do live webcasts of themselves dancing semi-naked? Full on naked? Perhaps the final task in the room should be to biomass your main character? Because only "the faithful" truly have what it takes to become the next winner of Erotica's scam room. |

Ah so you demand transparency and accountability from CCP, but don't expect it from yourself?
Personally, i think its completely on topic, all these whine-threads have been generated from this supposed "scandal" of the guy getting his skillpoints refunded, so shouldn't we be talking about the real issue here? |
