Heintron Caldari Ginnungagaps Rymdfarargille Tre Kroner	Posted - 2006.08.08 04:37:00 - [1] Correct me if I¦m wrong but doesn¦t the people from the sa forums usually mass register to mmo¦s just for griefing? Like second life for instance? I read something about some guy from sa crashing all the second life servers last fall. In my mind this is really simple. They are from the sa forums, they are immediatelly miscredited and should be chased out of the game by all means necesarry. Game developers should really have a IP-blacklist for people like these. Just like sport event organisers have for fotball hooligans so they can¦t enter/leave the country/arena to "grief" sporting events. My personal opinion anyway.
Heintron Caldari Ginnungagaps Rymdfarargille Tre Kroner	Posted - 2006.08.08 10:26:00 - [2] Originally by: Nipsk You can't be serious. 2000+ people (that you know of in GoonSwarm, there's lots of other goons that aren't a part of that) paying monthly fees with the sole purpose of griefing? Why bother? There's plenty of free games to grief like crazy if that were the case (which it isn't). Your right. Not everyone from sa is a bad apple. But people from the sa forums have proven time and time again that they are consistent in their griefing behaviour across the mmos. Originally by: Nipsk 2000+ goons play this game because, guess what? IT'S FUN. Its got its own open-endedness that lets them run things their own way and make a go of it. The only "wrong" thing they've done is trying to go it on their own, and that's as straightforward a choice as anything. There's no malicious intent at all, they're just here to play the game like everyone else. Just because they take advantage of the relative freedom of the game and try to forge their existance on their own doesn't make what they're doing "wrong" in any way. I really hope thats true for most of the sa forum members. But their behaviour here is too similar to that of sa members in other mmos to be just a coincidence. Originally by: Nipsk Also, one anecdote of one thing that happened in one game doesn't amount for the varying range of goon presence on pretty much any other MMO out there from WoW to DAOC to Anarchy Online to that Final Fantasy one to...well, you get the point. It¦s not that varying as youd might expect :( Originally by: Nipsk You're seriously suggesting something as harsh and draconian as full on blacklists for something that essentially amounts to a tasteless joke? Atleast for the really "bad apples" like that guy who made linden labs call the fbi :P Originally by: Nipsk Honestly, if Eve's cut-throat nature has you so bothered because you might get shot at by someone you don't like or by someone who doesn't like you, then you might want to cancel your subscription and look into one of many other MMO's that'd gladly hold your hand through everything and make sure the BAD PEOPLE don't cause you a moment's grief. Straw man. I have never said anything about me not wanting to get shot at.
