"Can I have your stuff?" is an age old tradition of dealing with people who rant and say they're leaving an online game.
No, it's not trolling. It's a way of life on any online game's forum.

I am guilty of alt posting... with my macro kill alt :/
Forum Firefox bugs FTW...
ANYHOW, I don't get it personally.
I would see explaining to the person why things are the way they are, and why things are not perfect... instead of asking them for their in-game items.
Sorry, I personally see it as trolling.
I would love to know the opinion of a forum mod or two.

Actually it's a way of people saying that they don't believe you, that they think you're being a drama queen and that the poster isn't going to leave at all.
It's very childish and contributes absolutely nothing to a discussion.... but hey, welcome to the EVE forums where reasonable discussion, community spirit and honest debate are distant memories ;)

to be fair, its a backlash against the equally childish "give me what I want or I'm leaving" type posts that plague online gaming of all sorts.
Whilst it *is* pure trolling imo, it is understandable.

LOL, no moderator post yet advising you not to comment on moderating? Amazing.
Opinions reflected on my posts are just that, my opinions. They do not reflect views held by my corp. |

I don't get this at all...
Some poor player posts his frustrations and his thread gets inundated with 'Can I have your stuff?' responses.
I know I am about to teeter on the edge of the rules here...
Is this not trolling?
I see these posts as exactly that, they are an attempt to toss sarcasm and flame into a thread, why do the mods not moderate these posts out?
Yes, it's trolling.
Why is it done? because We Don't Care
Why the hell should we give a flying wossname if somebody's decided to quit the game. His/her decision not to continue to play EVE has no effect whatsoever on the rest of us, and the fact that they've come on the forums for the sole purpose of *****ing and moaning about a game most of us really love, and is furthermore egomaniacal enough to assume that we care what they do with their life is, frankly, irritating in the extreme.
So "can I have your stuff" is a good way of knocking people down a peg. it says "We don't care that you're quitting. We never even knew that you existed before now, and now you're leaving? WHO CARES?! I sure as hell don't! You can go play WoW, I really don't care, your absence from the game in no way damages my own game experience, and might even benefit me! Furthermore, I really didn't need to hear YET ANOTHER voice trying to tell me that the game I love and play more than any other is crap. So go ahead and quit man, and while you're at it, wire me your isk and contract the rest of your stuff to me! I'll see it's put to good use. You go have a nice life. JUST GO AWAY AND STOP TRYING TO RUIN MY ENJOYMENT OF THE GAME IN THE PROCESS!"
... yeah, "can I have your stuff?" kind of condenses that entire rant down into five little monosyllables. nice and easy.

I don't see it as discussing moderation, at least from most angles.
I am asking for moderators to comment on their opinions on this thread.
If they *DO* lock the thread for what they see as discussion moderation I would not be offended, this is borderline moderation discussion.
I fail to see why other players see the need.
I get on people for the 'stupid n00b' comments too.
Instead of helping new players, we flame them and call them names, and when they get frustrated we ask them to hand over their items.
We, as older players seem to be hostile to newer players or just other players in general.
