How are they anti-religious, again? Seems like free advertisement for your faith.
Or do you have a reason to hide in the shadows...?
Edit: also, this thread is blatant hate mongering. Sounds like a section 3.a to me.
Actually, i was going to post this yesterday, but since someone actually brought it up, heres my .2 isk.
It is not about advertising a faith. It is about abusing the terms / ideologies of a faith. Jihad is the word holy war waged by muslims. Last time i checked the goons werend a muslim organization and i seriously doubt that any religious leader would call a jihad over a computer game, at least a virtual one.
So all in one, its sheer mockery.. they play jihad cuz they find it to be fun. You can translate it to playing terrorists. It might be fun for you, but you have to realize that it might hurt people.
Some things just have no place in an international game, and religious / rascist / opressive ideologies or the mentioning / advertising of said ideologies is just a prime example of the bigger DON'Ts of an MMO game.
So yea.. i dont care if they get banner or just a slap on their wirsts for doing this, but CCP definitely has to deal with issues like this, before some moron starts the holy crusade against the goons just for fun and we end up playing medieval: eve before we realize whats happening.
edit: just to clarify
I dont give a damn what their websites say.. But the forums are full with this jihadswarm stuff and that i really find bad. So if they wanna play terrorists, fine. Just keep it off the forums / local.
I completely disaggree with you here, they are simply roleplaying what has become normal practise in certain parts of the world, I don't see what would be wrong with someone starting a crusade against them as that's a very good idea and would be fun.
And why can't they play terrorists, oh wait you said it might hurt some people, are you for ******* real, terrorists really do hurt people in the real world, this is the virtual world and if someone is hurt by someone else playing a terrorist then tbqfh they are pretty sad, and if you take your head out of the sand you will see that almost all games people play now a days involve playing a terrorist, did you forget the fact that religon is already a part of this game as is slavery.
.... sig goes here!
