I am a human being who interacts open-minded and always friendly to everyone new I meet up in game and/or in real-life, due to my education and social environment I assume. If the opposite human being is just rude, has an unhealthy amount of egoism and is not capable to form arguments to a specific topic and tends to initiate some kind of quarrel (without any sense of humour, besides his own), i try to be calm and if I canGÇÖt see and end or a solution, I go away and stop to meet or talk to those individals.
I played different MMOs like SWTOR and GW2 for quite long time and the fact, that there is no (allowed) form of scam in those games existant, leads me to the deduction, that the concentration of dubious and shady individals in Eve is significantly higher compared to other MMOs.
[DonGÇÖt get me wrong: I love the special kind of sarcasm and trashtalk in eve. The meme-wars and salt-extraction, all positioned in a GÇPhealthyGÇ£ sandbox without spilling out the sand of it.]
So, one of my question to you is: Being a scammer, using exploits, being rude to other people = ahole = causality or correlation?. ItGÇÖs just my personal evaluation of recent and last years scandals in this game, plus certain negative-minded individals that I met though out my entire Eve Career.
Would those assumptions mean, that Eve attracts people who like to be the a-hole in real-life and want to intensify this habit in a virtual world? The argument GÇPthose are children playing just a computer game and want tob e funnyGÇ£ is weak, because 80% of ppl I came across are in their late 20s or plus 30s and older.
How would Eve develop if CCP bans any form of scamming on 8th November? ItGÇÖs just that, sometimes I feel a bit sorry for CCP because they have to deal with that increasing kind of self-comitted load on themselves (because Eve is a harsh and cold world), like the recent example of the so-called GÇPI am OliviaGÇ£-scam.

Last time I checked EULA, there been part about violating of gamespirit , and what would be understandable fairplay, what is point of any game, else it can not call itself a game.
So looking at this from such perspective, ccp should be handling those scammers, griefers, trolls(again definition of someone incompetent who hope to cover that fact by laughing off others), yet, they did not for there hidden reasons, other than being lazy <-- irony.
That had bring eve to where it is, with other online games like wow, lol, and many others being "user friendly" mainly to new folks, what turns in insane large playerbase for them, and opposite to eve, game with hella lot content and huge sandbox interaction model( not unique as eve weren't first), and this is supricing for me, why gm policy can be so much against growth.
What you write about now, bans after 8th november, can be huge shock for all those gone/code and other tools unhealthy players, and after there tears all over place and in every possible form, may generate even more of unhealthy atmosphere for new players. |
