You can't use the game mechanics as an excuse to actively victimise a player as the intent has nothing to do with the game. You could find yourself in a court of law. CCP are watching and they will deal with it harshly because they'll have to.

SoTG starting by someone quoting bad Star Wars fanfic.

Now I'm told "the victim" who was otherwise completely cool with everything, and seemed like a very normal player. He's got 1.1bil bounty on him, and there are hundreds of players hunting his characters now. CCP has brought this upon a supposed "suicide risk" character by publicly angering tens of thousands of players against him, who now solely have him to use as a punching bag.

Congratulations CCP, you just accomplished everything you claimed you were setting out to stop.

Can someone please help me! There's some kind of sticky white stuff all over my keyboard and the keys are sticking, I dont know what to do.

As long as they act within game mechanics its not harassment, sorry, but CCP brought all the attention on the man in question, he wasn't going to be bothered until they made a mountain out of a molehill.\

If i was the man in question i would actually talk to a lawyer, as CCP has unquestionably put him in a position where the largest portion of the game possible hates him.

Ok how about this for an idea:

CCP adds a new option to the game. If you are feeling down and may cut yourself you can press a button in the menu. Once this button is pressed no can do any damage to your ship and no one can start a convo with you.

Will this make you "we have to make sure no one ever ever gets their feeling hurt" people happy?

Put billion isk bounty on a guy with 22 alts.

So they are making him billions richer when he goes out and pods himself with one of his alts?

Im ok with that i guess.

They aren't using the in-game bounty system, dumbass.

Which is also an indication of cyber bullying. They won't be able to spin it as game mechanics.

Pretty sure using the 'give money' function is a game mechanic.

So all those RMT people aren't doing anything wrong?

So do I get this right, this guy is now immune to all forms of piracy in game? Can you tell me when his psychy is good enough for him to be ganked again? Will CCP tell me its ok to gank him again? Do I have to petition them to find out?

Getting a little testie?

Sure sure, but its ok for CCP to drag said player into the spotlight in a game where being ruthless is at its very core.

Don't blame the players, they're just venting that the person they all elected has been removed by ccp, who then put the reason they removed him under a magnifying glass.

This isn't the players fault, CCP handled this like a bull in a china shop, if anybody finds themselves in a court of law (you're an idiot for even suggesting that might happen) it will be the game company you currently play for, this is all their doing.

This would have simply blown over if for once they'd have just shut the hell up, but they HAD to say and do something, and in doing something they've drawn all the attention down on the original player who was supposed to be a victim.

Yes. CCP brought this upon him. Not the rampaging goon idiots who can't tell the difference between reality and game. Nor is it Mr. Alexander Gianturco's fault for his inappropriate real-life threats over a game. Nope, it's CCP's fault .
