[1] - Quote Ecklectrix, you're paying to be able to log into EVE, not so that CCP can fix the whole Internet or rid us of every hacker and malcontent. Your expectations are unrealistic. everything is better with ߦêߦÆߦù-ó on it |

[2] - Quote Ecklectrix wrote: In fact it seems to me the DDOS attacks are in direct response to policy changes made recently by CCP. These policy changes (which I happen to agree with for the record) make the game environment better, but have obviously had additional unforseen consequences by alienating people that have decided to take illegal action against CCP. Again, not my fault, and yet the money I pay to CCP is now affected as a result. Granted I've only passed my FYLSE and not the CBX (I'll take my first crack at it in July), it seems like to me you make similar mistakes as people who haven't taken a single law course. CCP's liability is closely associated only with (1) the health of their server, and (2) any direct and adverse contribution CCP's hardware may have had to its network connection with your client. Outside of that, it sets a very bad legal/financial precedent for CCP to take some indirect responsibility for (1) people DDOSing, (2) internet servers losing connections with each other, and (3) your specific hardware faults. Why? Because CCP has no ability to figure out everything that is happening outside of the hardware and network environment that they directly control and own. This limited information will allow these people who are DDOSing CCP to effectively milk CCP for virtual assets and/or server time. It opens the doorway for anyone to walk in and claim a "loss", and CCP is put in a position of honoring it even if they have no ability to collect information to verify what is being claimed. There is no legal burden here. This is not a customer support issue. CCP runs a business which is primarily delivered over the network. Other people are illegally interfering with that delivery, which makes CCP a victim. No legal system worth its salt is in the business of extorting a payment from a victim to satisfy a consumer. On a side note, Ecklectrix.. you really seem to be alienating other people by arguing the way that you are. Even if you were right, from a legal or ethical point of view - I've said above why you're not - you are undermining your position with the way you are communicating. everything is better with ߦêߦÆߦù-ó on it |
