Do you really believe the the stuff in op really happened???

I'd say 100% bullshit...

And btw, the wife did the guy a disservice by deliberately ignoring his wishes and giving these griefing sociopaths all of these priceless tears.

Also she's mad at the wrong person. She should be mad at her husband for valuing a few space pixels more than his wife and new baby.

I hope she at least has the good sense not to breed with this guy again.

Btw, abusing an addictive prescription medication (I'm sure he was warned not to take it more often than prescribed) is no different than abusing any other substance. That stuff ain't candy.

Poor kid.

This is what humans are like behind their kind faces, polite words and socially acceptable masks. It's brutal and not pretty at all, and I hope for each and every one of your sakes, that you have learned this sometime in your adult life BEFORE losing pixel assets drives you to an overdose.

I write once more that all I ever asked of griefers is that they admit they do it for the grief. I never try to change anybody's game, or tell anybody how to play. Out of courtesy I ask for one shred of honesty.

But a sociapath will always try to lie about their reasons, it's part of being one.

In RL though, where there is consequence, there is civility. If someone wants to call me names on the internet, I don't care. They can even exercise their First Amendment to my face for all I care. But touch me and I will empty a magazine into them and any friends who are pointing and laughing.

This is why I have not been touched in almost 30 years.

What I wonder most is, are these asshats in MMOs people who do roughly the same in RL and take themselves into the games, or are the asshats in MMOs people who are victims in RL and, having no recourse for revenge and/or justice, come to the game to take it out on someone else?

Maybe that's why griefers don't admit their true intentions.

Yes, I believe this story. If they were asking for money it might be a scam, but lo! they aren't asking for money...just a heavily implied request for revenge. This **** happens all the time in the real world people. Yes stirring up sympathy for whoever this guy is requires noticeable emotional discomfort, but that doesn't somehow justify a knee-jerk "FAKE!!"

Reading stuff like this baffles me. The internet truely shows the dark side of a human being when there is no true accountability for their actions. This is also evident in some of the posts that follow. Taking the OP at face value (I see no reason why they would make this up), this person had in-real-life problems. EVERYONE in this game has had problems at some time or another in thier lives, just most of us not of this magnitude.

What is sickening is the prevailing attitude of "point and laugh" in this game. Its like watching the social behaviors of high school teenagers, but on a world level. So little empathy is displayed here, its quite disheartening. If this stranger was your friend or a loved one, I am sure you would not exibit this kind of behavior, and would be disgusted if someone else did. That being said, have some respect for others. This is a game, but just like any other arena of competition, there is a level of respect everyone that steps into it deserves.

To the OP: I am sorry your friend has had to endure this treatment. Its never easy to deal with the realization that someone you have trusted has betrayed you. Hopefully your friend can get himself collected emotionally and place things in the proper perspective so to allow him to come back to Eve and find a place where he can enjoy his free time. Hopefully karma will come back to bite those that wronged this individual like it often does in real life.

Not really sure why you consider this a new low in scamming TBH, seems like a garden variety, everyday scam to me.

Agreed, but i would rather have these sociopaths acting through the veil of a virtual world than acting directly in the real world.

Without the darkness its hard to see the light.

Sad tale of woe to be sure. One hard lesson I learned in Eve (and sadly get retaught on occasion) Eve makes folks evil. Unless you know someone well in RL and encounter them regularly you should never trust anyone with anything of value. Once in a while a rare person comes along to earn more trust and I'll bend that rule a bit, but even then I assume anything I put at risk will be lost in the end.

Hope your husband recovers and finds a better lot to cast in with and he finds some joy in the 'verse again soon.

Btw, abusing an addictive prescription medication (I'm sure he was warned not to take it more often than prescribed) is no different than abusing any other substance. That stuff ain't candy.

I personally believe that you should be going to him and helping him, rather than worry about EVE.

If one single word of the OP is true... I will eat my space hat.

I consider myself a pretty mellow and sociable person. I'll help an old lady cross the street, I'll drop a dime into the collection can, and I'll return a lost wallet.

In EVE, I will claw out your still-beating heart, and slowly slice it with a potato peeler in front of your very eyes. I'll make you suffer and squirm, if it suits my own goals. I expect you to do the same. You know why? Because this is a video game about conflict, war, theft, betrayal, and cheating. I enjoy every second of seeing someone suffer in EVE, because I know that in this game, a player can only be a victim of his own stupidity, and not a victim of circumstance.


Oh, I see. You're one of those internet tough guys. Work out and shoot guns and take MMA classes, bro? Washboard abs and a trophy girlfriend, right? And ain't no one going to **** with your **** 'cause you got it on lockdown?

You remind me of some of the war targets I've had, who opened chats and threatened to hunt me down and kill me in real life. All over some space pixels. That, or a terrible rap song. Take your pick.


Yeah, okay. I guess you have a degree in psychology too. Must be a tight fit on the mantle, though, what with all the sharpshooting awards you have stacked on it.

What a bunch of tripe. It's pure hypocrisy that someone with your professed real-life attitude toward violence and self-defense would take up such a bleeding-heart attitude towards a game in which shooting other players is the main attraction.



To all the others: you're falling for a troll, though a well-planned one at that. By all means don't stop; I find it hilarious.

Hence why the post is all made up. If you really cared about someones welfare, would you be going on a games forums and talking about it?

Guy gets robbed because he is a drug addict

Guy gets robbed by TACTICAL NARCOTICS TEAM

KEYWORD NARCOTICS

If this is real, this is super ironic.

If this is fake, nice troll TNT (or whoever started this). Suprised people didnt put one and one together.

Where's the "scam" in all this drama?

Idiot shares password, gets his sh*t stolen. Working as intended, EvE is alive.

idgi

You have to ask yourself what fun can be found from scamming a sick man?

This isn't real. If you give the OP sympathy, then you have been hoodwinked.

I'd rather risk being hoodwinked than risk being a complete ********.

And that's because I am already a war target in RL

My God, its a GAME!

Leave the personal stuff at the door. Od over pixels, my guess is he would have od'd after watching old yeller. The man's sick, get him help and don't bring that crap to the game. Like we don't get enough of this stuff in real life.

But guys! This is just like a typical scam letter! I have seen many circulating sob stories like this on the internet! The only thing is that the part where the victim's wife is asking for money is missing.

PS. You can live completely normal life even if you are addicted to pain meds if you can keep taking only what you need (and if the meds really help). Maybe cannabis would have been better pain medication for the victim.

And btw, the wife did the guy a disservice by deliberately ignoring his wishes and giving these griefing sociopaths all of these priceless tears.

Also she's mad at the wrong person. She should be mad at her husband for valuing a few space pixels more than his wife and new baby.

I hope she at least has the good sense not to breed with this guy again.

Poor kid.

I feel completely the same way, it just amazes me to see how cold and harsh people are in this game, just because people want to seem tough or since they don't have an accountability as you said they think they can be complete cold and heartless idiots. You pretty much covered the way I feel but come on guys, even if you have zero sympathy for this guy at least be respectful and don't post anything at all.

In RL though, where there is consequence, there is civility. If someone wants to call me names on the internet, I don't care. They can even exercise their First Amendment to my face for all I care. But touch me and I will empty a magazine into them and any friends who are pointing and laughing.

And you say the ones playing the game have issues.
How's that morale high ground looking now?

Oh, I see. You're one of those internet tough guys.
