However, in a video game, where you can play any character as anonymously as you wish, where the things you fight/scam/mine/kill rats over are just imaginary pixels, I can't see how people still subject themselves to humiliation 
You really don't get it?
I'll grant that the victim was, frankly, stupid. But that's beside the point. More importantly he was gullible and easily manipulated - just the kind of people E1 looks for.
People who've played this game for a while and intend to keep doing so for the foreseeable future assign value to these space pixels that oh-so-many on this thread claim they can just walk away from in the blink of an eye.
For all you know his whole world would've collapsed in his eyes if he lost it all and had to start over. And that's exactly what E1 and Co. are hoping for, nay, counting on. And that is exactly why he couldn't let go, couldn't leave.
They are predators who get their jollies from pushing people's buttons until they either 1) get sufficient entertainment value out of them or 2) push the right buttons to break them. This is a great example of social engineering at it's worst.
My personal stance is that E1 (and Co) should be permanently banned for repeated conduct completely outside the realm of common human decency. The in-game asset scamming part I'm completely fine with OTOH. |

Yep. I'll take that bet.
Ero had a public API up today and everything.
You owe me 1B isk.
EDIT: I will happily forward 1 bil to Chribba for this bet immediately, if you do as well, pending evidence that Riot Girl and Ero 1 are two different people.
Right, because I totally don't have 3-4 accounts like a great number of EVE players. |

In the 200 and whatever pages of this thread nobody can name what EULA and TOS rules E1 has broken. Everything that E1 did in that recording are things that have taken place for the last decade.
There are vague and all encompassing points in both just so that everything doesn't have to be spelled out. In the end it's at the discretion of CCP to decide whether to ban or not. |
