Likely someone forced another player to do something against his will out-of-game using in-game assets as leverage. Basically more tools who can't separate a game from reality and who therefore go after the player, instead of the character he plays with using the accepted in-game rules. |

We will not draw a line in the sand so that people can skirt on the edge of it and bend the rules as much as possible.
Is the line here?
You know full well, that if they say it's ok, these douchecicles will just strain that ruling to its limit and will then try to rules lawyer their way out of trouble when they're caught bullying people again. |

At some point you start destroying everything EVE is marketed to be in order to protect RL feelings that people seem to have for possessions that are essentially fake and have no significant RL value (Sohkar's entire "fortune" was worth about $30, or less than an hour of RL work in my case).
Thats fine for you if you can afford it that good. Some other people don't. Some people can advance very slowly in game due to other parts of their life. For whatever reason, it doesnt matter if he had 30b ISK or 3m ISK. It has a value to him and afterall its not about the crappy scam he fell for. I thought I'd already stated. Its about tormenting him for hours when there were no money and no assets to scam anymore - literally! It was just a game messing with someone's head for no apparrent reason but for the lols not even remotely related to the game. Dave Stark wrote:
no, i couldn't say that. not with a straight face.
that is sad.
You're probably wasting your time, if you want to convince people here. This thread is a prime example why CCP doesn't want to draw a line in the sand. These people are pretending to be incapable of thinking and aren't genuinely confused about anything. That is why they leave out convenient details, that is why the recurring bans on the same activities are painted as random and unpredictable application of the rules, that is why they try to get the bans to be about scamming and other accepted gameplay when it is clear they never were and that it why they dabble in technicalities. The good thing is, that CCP is run by actual people with functioning brains, so their efforts to get CCP tangled up in their game is a lost cause. |

bonus room related. There is the possibility this is the result of a long time investigation. Perhaps CCP has been
observing these players behaviours and actions of a period of time and made a decision based on evidence they
gathered. At any rate if the community insists on evidence/explanations/clarifications then CCP would have to
jeapordize any active investigations by giving specific details. Some of the same people making real life
comparisons have repeatedly in the past stated real life comparisons are irrelevant. Why the change of heart? It
truly is none of our business why certain individuals got banned. It's almost as if common sense suddenly became a
commodity and some people are trying to trade in counterfeit stock. Every player in EVE should be concerned when random people are blanket banned because they happen to have been in the same channel/corp/alliance/mailing list as the person or persons doing the wrong thing.
Most would be concerned if any of that was actually happening. The thing is, that CCP isn't going after scammers, gankers, bumpers or general evildoers of the EVE universe. Your group of "random" people, that CCP is investigating, seem to all be a part of a very well know group linked to out-of-game bullying. Maybe some of them will be found not to be involved after the investigation, but there is nothing odd or random for them to be under investigation. There was rule breaking activity going on where they spent their time. Saying they were just there for no reason after CCP busted the gathering place isn't a reason to ignore them in their investigation. Not investigating their part in the activities on the other hand would be unacceptable. As I said, if they did not take part in our-of-game bullying they have nothing to fear. The fact they're are scrambling in panic seems to indicate at least some of them will not be seen in-game ever again for a good reason and EVE will be better for it. |
