The thing is that someone who would steal here would steal from you any chance they got if they were to see you on the street as well.

dude it has nothing to do with large or small corps. You have to use reasonable expectations in dealing with other people.

You could have been scammed just as easily by a lone player as a large corp.

This thread has been moved to Crime and Punishment, where all Nitshe alt threads go. :P

Confirming I destroy commercial haulers in RL whenever the opportunity presents itself and scoop whatever loot is left after the glorious explosion.

What do you mean by alt

I didnt say people do the same thing in RL as they do here. Simply saying a thief is a thief anywhere

How is what you meant to say any different? I have stolen and killed billions in this game, in RL I have never stolen or blown anything up. So no, what you originally said and what you are back peddling to say are both misinformed untrue statements.

He means that you have been thrown to the wolves...

Just relax and try and find a safe place within your mind... this is not going to be easy, you will not enjoy it :)

Also...

Really 6 BILLION before you worked out this was a scam... DaYam!!!

And if you really equate video game behavior to RL behavior you have a lot more issues than just being scammed.

No I haven't, you know why? Because it's OK to do when there is no actual loss and you are playing a game, it's not OK to do when there is actual loss and the rules are different. I can see the difference between RL and video games.

I would argue you are the one with issues if you can't make the distinction.

BTW i apologize, I dont know you and i shouldn't have called you a liar. I just don't see why you are so passionate about defending thief's.

I'm not passionate about defending thieves, I am passionate about correcting people who think if you do something in a video game you must be a bad person.

And no, space pixels is not actual loss, it's space pixels.

What about those of us who like to hunt our fellow man for sport ?

Vent away, just don't throw out fallacies in the process.

The time and money invested is in the interest of entertainment for a game with a very unique set of rules. If you lose isk during said entertainment, it's all in the game. As soon as you can get that through your head, the game will be a lot more fun.

Umm ok

If you had the opportunity to scam 6b ISK from someone, would you?

If you had an industrial ship target-locked and about to blow up, knowing it had 12b (6b chance to drop) in its cargo, would you take the shot?

What about just an industrial ship, with no clue to its cargo (could be empty)?

The point is, for some it's a game with pixels with no value.

For others, there's definitely value but it's still a game of shooting spaceships; don't play if you can't handle the loss. Imagine playing chess against someone who freaked out every time you took a piece.

And others, like you, have a moral code that they adhere to even inside a game, that not many share (a few do). This game emulates war, and there is no chivalry in war.

This scam is not new. It's been listed in various guides for a long time now. EVE comes with the warning that scams and other "nefarious" actions are allowed. And the players like the game the way it is (that's why they play it), and often victims of scams or PVP have a tendency to demand that CCP change the game, which the rest of the community would prefer they don't.

Make of it what you will, but my question is this: do you still find the concept of this game fun? If yes, even 6B, you can recover / restart. If not, then there's no point in playing a game that you don't find fun.
