Different folks play for different reasons. I've never understood why the people who play for PvP get all worked up over the fact that some folks don't enjoy PvP. Thought that's what MMOs were all about: Bringing the chat-room monkeys, the PvP fraggers, and the RPG questers into the same environment and blurring the lines a bit.

So go on, call 'em "carebears" and make fun of 'em.

But let's be real here... all you managed to do here was go out of your way to make sure someone else stopped having fun for a while because they didn't want to play your game your way. They avoided situations that'd call for PvP and extortion, and you managed to find a way into their gameplay and made 'em choke on it.

Big.

Freakin'.

Hero.

I am, however, impressed with Xyschahr's willingness to at least obscure the names of the folks he makes fun of. Some of those reactions of corpmates are... well, not productive. Self-righteous visceral threats and acrimony have seldom done anything but poison the well in which they're offered.

So yeah Xys, you made some money, gained a little infamy, but in the end, it's as simple as this: People pay money to play this game, and they play it in their own ways - in whatever way makes it fun for them. You just punished someone for not playing your way.

Put whatever spin you want on it, there's really no way around that.
