I cancelled 1 money-paying subscription in protest over CCP's toleration of cyber-bullying and sociopathic behavior that crosses the line.
Yes I am talking about Erotica 1 and others like him.
I encourage others to cancel their alts as well to force CCP to clean up some of the worst aspects of EVE. Enough is enough. Cyber-bullying has no place in this game, or anywhere else.
If enough of us cancel our third of fourth alts for a month of two, CCP will act and clean up the community.
CANCEL SUBSCRIPTIONS UNTIL CCP ACTS. |

If nothing moves, I will join the club and cancel my 2 accounts definitely.
Thank you. We need more adults standing up and telling CCP that there are limits. |

What was that quote? All that it takes for evil to thrive is for good men to do nothing.
You do nothing now, and CCP will form their opinion. And you can guess what it will be. |

Erotica 1: Fap fap fap
You'd probably make more of a statement coming up with a better, more outrageous scam than just cancelling your account. To him its just more tears in the bathtub to soak in.
Can i haz things?
EDIT: I don't know how to use you're/your
Not about Erotica 1. Its about me making a statement to CCP. if CCP decides to go in a different direction and tolerate over-the-line sociopathic behaviour and bullying, then I will leave. Been playing this game for more then 10 years, and this sort of **** has gotten worse and worse. Enough is enough.
And no, my stuff will go to my friends, not some random forum guys. |

Keeping EVE a free (as in freedom) universe is worth the expense. Cancelled 4 myself. Your move Pix.
Thank you. Dont forget to send to CCP a ticket saying why. |

Its weird that people would protest in these ways, as there has to be other avenues of community policing that could happen.
Not to knock down the protest but a more concerted effort is needed (not a gut reaction then a post on a forum without gathering like minded people with you). If you think this is stirring up support, you'll be attacked by the forum trolls trying to bury this long before you get your supporters.
A better avenue (Louder forum) is needed.
Like what? CSM is just as sociopatic as the griefers and bullies, they dont care. They even encourage this sort of thing. CCP is driven by profit only, they dont care either.
At the end of the day all we regular plays have is our subscriptions. |

I trust my corp mates in TDSIN with about 10-15bil of assets at any given time.
You know why? Because we are normal guys, and at the end of the day we are in the wh all together. and Trust is what allows us to work tegether as a team.
'Trust no one' is a sociopaths' cry. Its not normal. And I dont want EVE community to function on the level of the lowest common denominator - some psychopath sadist who gets his kicks from humiliating a vulnerable human being. |

There are already limits. You can scam someone, take advantage of them, blow up their internet spaceships, declare war against their corporation, etc. This is a sandbox game.
If you were personally threatened (as in, threats against your real life person) then you need to contact CCP, they will take care of you and they will act in such situations. If you got scammed, conned, war-decced, exploded, hunted down and blown up over and over and cancelled your accounts due to this - perhaps the right move would have been to learn from your mistakes and not make them again?
Anyway, judging by your equating in game actions with "cyber-bullying" and accusing CCP of tolerating this - it's probably best that you quit Eve. CCP does not tolerate threatening other players and they will act against accounts that cross this line. If this is what happened to you, you should have flexed right rights under the EULA and asked CCP to step in.
Somehow, I doubt this is what happened.
So, what's the full story?
There is no full story. i see enough bullying and humiliation in real life, and i dont want to see it in EVE as well.
As you grow older you realize more and more that this sort of behaviour is not ok at all. Younger guys think its all LOL and HTFU. Older guys see things differently.
I have been playing this game for 10 years give or take, and I came to realize that if we as eve players dont start doing something about our spaceship community, we are just allowing trash to dictate terms of the game to us.
And I will be damned it i am forced to play in an environment that facilitates exploitation and sadism. Either it changes, or I will leave - EVE is not unique. |

You assume that I am a "younger guy" and that if I was only "older" I would see things in another light. I'm already old, and I don't. It's probably best that you leave. You are playing the wrong game. There's plenty of MMO's out there. Just stop trying to screw up our game with your tears on your way out the door.
No I think I would rather change EVE for the better and force trash out instead. |

You see, referring to other players as "trash" is not going to get you very far. It's hard to seem like the "good guy" when you are hurling insults around.
I dont consider sadists like E1 'players'. I consider them trash, worst kind of people that take pleasure in abusing others.
Never said i was a perfect white knight. I am a normal guy who is outraged about this ****, and who has strong opinions. My opinions are colored by own life experiences - I have seen bullying like this in high school. I KNOW what it does to people. And I know that a line was crossed.
So yes, trash.
Simple as that.
Dont like it? Side with the sadists. There is really no middle ground here. |

Taking a private communication and broadcasting it to an entire public audience by putting it on a projector. Not only a breach of privacy but a breach of law. CCP is very lucky that didn't escalate, the guy didn't self harm and they didn't get sued.
Kind of puts this in perspective eh. |

Need more bodies to volunteer though. Stand up and be counted! Just to point out. You are trying to get millions of people to see this guy make an arse of himself. How does this help? Exactly what I was thinking. You might get this Sohkar guy into a crap ton of trouble. Needless to say if he has children and daddy has to goto court then you have put him in a very bad situation by wanting it publicized. I hope you can live with your "white Knight" routine. The White Knight Routine Breaks up alliances all the time. How about you break up this Sohkar's Family. Yea + 1 Luminous.
Its not about Sohkar for me. He is an adult.
For me this is CCP's refusal to condemn and take action against behavior that crosses a line. |
