Eve is a cold harsh place. Eve is a niche game.
But exactly how long can the game continue down that path. Ay what point does the growing toxicity of the game start driving away so many players that the game begins to lose subs.
Yes, I know that apparently , Eve has seen 10 years of slow growth.
But I think that CCP made be facing a rude change in the next 12-18 months. It is interesting to note that the players online spike from all the trial accounts started over the null sec brawl has faded.
Eve did not top 50,000 today, as far as I could see, and Sunday is the big day. Does that translate into subs going down? Only CCP knows for sure.
But as I said, if Star Citizen provides an good game environment for the carebears, and enough jump ship, CCP may be forced to have a good hard look at precisely how cold and harsh they want Eve to be, and how much villainy, in-game and out, they will celebrate.
And that note, it is time to walk the dog. I think you are taking the "launch ramp" from this specific situation to take in some points that don't belong here. EvE would do a terrible mistake if it stopped being the "cold harsh universe" it is now, because that's part of EvE flavour. CCP can't copycat Star Citizen, can't "out-bear" the bears. Else EvE would step in the totally deadly slope called "following the competition" whereas CCP has to MAKE the space-sim market. I am not known for loving "griefing" (as some exaggerately call everything ending up in explosions) but I love THIS EvE. An EvE where you can do almost everything. Almost being the keyword and the ultimate boundary. There is a point between being a cold dark place and being a place for horrible behaviour. Here is one scenario: CCP shuts down local conversation. I am not talking about removing local (though I would be for that), but remove the ability to use local to talk to anyone. And I mean anyone. You see a name on local you want to talk to, you open up a convo. Sure, that does not nearly stop all the crap that goes on (read my convo earlier today with someone wanting to gank me), but it will limit it.
I'm not in alignment with your motives, but +1 for removing local.

Maybe this is silly to you, but it is literally all I do in Eve anymore. And by your very own statement, CCP does not condone my playstyle. No, Malcanis doesnt. I have yet to see CCP say that. I have yet to see a blue tag say "we dont want your business" Seems to me like they don't want erotica1's business but v0v
Seems to me they didnt care till another CSM was screaming about it on his blog and embarrassed them. Hey werent you defending him? PSYCHOTIC MONK (or Erotica1's next alt) for CSM.

Trust me, nothing has changed, you people have been crying for over 50+ pages about absolutely nothing and its starting to get sad.
Just let the threadnaught die, give it a week and then come back and complain that the game just doesnt feel the same anymore.

So awoxing is no longer condoned by CCP unless there are tangible in-game rewards. Got it. Is my being told to **** off an official CCP position?

I've been trying to wargame in my head the kinds of things CCP would do if they gave the grief fetishists their way and went with the OP's "Option 1". .
And I get a feeling that the CSM was introduced to things around this "option 1" that they cannot disclose, and that it was so bad that Malcanis obviously could not hide his disdain for it.
(and Malcanis and I disagree on a lot Of things BTW)
You see folks, Option 1 would entail CCP having to game every option, every little rule, and attempt to look ahead for every little loophole, and the greif fetishists want this "line" so they can game it and look for every little loophole. I live in a country (USA) that practically lives on that stuff. At the federal level the laws and regulations in book form could fill a school gymnasium (this is the part of the school where they do the sports - for those of you in Europe).
And each state has their own truckloads of laws in addition to that.
Do you know what this would mean?
I see what they do at minerbumping - the posts, the convos, the relishing in rage. How about a day when CCP decides that all convos in the game are their property and taking them out of the game is a TOS violation or a Intellectual Property (IP) breach?
This means also the blogs could go.
Or... because of "gaming it" which the fetishists will surely push - CCP then establishes strict guidelines for any Eve-related out of game content.
Do you want that? Are the grief fetishists who like to stroke each other offsite ready for this?
"But... but... that might be the end of the killboards!!!1!!!!". Yes indeed and I must say that there is already a contingent of players who would like to see the killboards go. There are a lot of people for whom the killboard is as big a deal as a bling ship is for a highsec mission bear, or the number of ISK in the wallet. It's perfectly legitimate for players to kill ships solely for their stats on their KB (this is a PVP game and this is why we have kill mails and loss mails). I once saw an AFK Proteus get taken out by two Tornados right outside the SoE station in Osmon. Compare the prices and you know that's some good KB greenage right there. If you take a ship that can be blapped with 10 million ISK worth of gear and fill it with several hundred million ISK worth of gear, it's perfectly legit game play for someone in a blaster cat to take a shot at you. This is why we complained about the Nestor being a gank magnet because of its price and the implication of that making its cost outweigh its utility.
So a lot of people, who have been on the wrong end of the killboard, are NOT going to march to these forums to protest if CCP is forced in Option 1 to remove them or restrict the use of the data outside of anything they control. Think about that.
CCP has made it clear: nothing changes. Scheme, lie, gank, steal, awox all you like. But if you want to be all about driving people up the wall and then relishing in it, you are on notice. If some special snowflake wants to send you hate mail that's fine. If you want to needle and provoke further or if you approach the victim using all the trigger words to tick them off even more, and then put it on your blogs, you might have to wonder about your own motivations and what really floats your boat.
It could be said that a lot of people don't care about this. I say it's because they cannot fathom it. It's like trying to wrap ones mind around the motivations of a pedo without actually being one. The term "incredulous" comes to mind. But as a web moderator on various forums since the mid 1990s I have seen the worst of the worst (and banhammered hordes of them myself). Yes there are people who actually get off on bringing someone else into a frothing rage.
And the apex, the largest trophy of this action, is to get them so angry the say something that might be construed as threatening, then ninny and act like they are actually scared and then report it to the cops, and if the mark ends up in jail, loses their job, gets their life wrecked, etc. they will relish in that as a great achievement. I have met people on web forums who still boast about their "exploits", quipping things like "Hey, so and so didn't get parole LOL".
We have cops who can expect they get a paid vacation and a police union on their side with internal investigators drawing a check from the same source for every questionable use of force like this one for example. The more the "system" clears these cases, the more incidents we have. We have countless cases of prosecutorial misconduct because of various laws that protect them from civil liability and lo and behold, only the richest of the rich can escape their assaults now (Duke Lacross case comes to mind).
I bring up that RL stuff as proof that it's human nature to expect people who can get away with anything to go into levels of depravity and I'm using people who wear suits or uniforms and have much authority as my sample because even out of a game where the implications are real, people will race to the bottom when they can. I say again, for in game and out of game "these people exist". And a lot of people in game or out cannot believe it - until they end up in a bonus room, or are getting their brains beaten out by cops shouting "stop resisting" and then are the ones getting charged for assault. And my examples have entire organizations and law books thicker than your thighs to game, misconstrue, obfuscate, politicize, and hide behind.
Just like Option 1 could be - and for the same kind of people to play the same kind of game with. But I have met these people before, and they want a "line", they want Option 1 because it enhances the naughtiness.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay. Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil! On that note, please feel free to report any post that has broken the rules.
The Rules: 4. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.
5. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response.

Malcanis wrote: In other to get some actual numbers into the discussion, please can you select from one of the following three options for the CSM to present to CCP as the opinion of the community.:
(1) CCP should define abuse and harrassment at the lowest level possible so that essentially any potentially offensive communication is deemed unacceptable, and everyone has a clear idea of where the line is: don't say anything bad at all to another player. This is the choice of virtually every MMO in the game industry.
(2) CCP should continue with the status quo, and trust the members of the EVE community to have the adult intelligence and humanity to exercise discretion in how far they can take their communication with other players. And having exercised that discretion, to also be aware that we're all members of the game community and that while every kind of in-game space-villainy is legitimate, we're all actual human beings behind the screen and we should be careful with our out of game actions to each other. This option is, so far as I am aware, unique to CCP and EVE; if other MMOs place this level of trust and faith in their players I am unaware of them.
Somewhere between option 1 and 2 is necessary.
In particular, certain behaviors that affect players out of game need to be called out as banned. (E.g. Erotica 1's bonus room is a great example -- garbage like this at the expense of individuals out of game should not be/is not "content" for the player base!).
This still allows for emergent game play in-game, that does not forcibly extend outside the game. Anything that goes outside the game and negatively affects individuals' reputations and/or well being is already covered by real-life laws regarding harassment.
Because of this CCP's policies can remain relatively free-form (e.g option 2) inside the sandbox AND ruthlessly efficient with the ban-hammer for any seriously bad behavior clearly called out in the EULA that extends beyond the sandbox (e.g. option 1).
-Z
(To moderators: The shrink-wrap EULA for reading this post is that if you edit it because I mentioned Erotica 1 specifically - you agree to submit a ticket with the original unedited content to CCP for consideration. Also, is he banned yet?). |

His transgressions don't count because Riptard didn't blog about them.
how do you know? have you been told by the dude or ccp whats happened to him or are you just opening your mouth and letting your guts rumble?
i for one have no idea what happened to the mark in ero1 sick game, he hasnt posted as far as i can tell so you could say he has been banned for his part too.

Ban them all
Crap like this is in a category unto itself - frankly it should result in an automatic ban. |

They've been very clear. People just choose to be obtuse for the sake of trolling or because they think if they cry enough on the forums something will change.
They thought they could get away.-áNot today, it's not the way that this kid plays. |

leaving only option 2 as the sensible decision.
CCP handled this incident in the best way.
it wasnt the popular way for all the freaks who enjoy going to far.
but i am happy and one more creepy freak is banned.
keep it up ccp What about the racist guy that drops IRL threats to ppls' family? what about him? im sure ccp have dealt with him in an evenhanded way that the other guy got.
Except they did jack **** to HIM

Good point - CCP could provide a new API for lawyers to build out-of-game apps for getting the contact info of players like Ero1. |

My watchlists tell me that he has not as of today. Hth.
Also he did post in the original threadnaught. He said it was NBD and that everyone should let it go. Not that the lynch mob was going to let that happen, especially after Riptard gave them the scent of blood and worked them into a frenzy. ... |
