Taedrin wrote:Because the recruitment channel is an official CCP moderated channel, and as such scamming is not tolerated there. Not to mention that the recruitment channel is part of the NPE, which is sacred to CCP. Believe it or not, CCP does not actually endorse scamming. In fact, CCP's official policy on scamming is that it is undesirable, but not against the rules: "TenTonHammer" wrote: CCP is against scams and scam artists of this nature in-general, but so long as people abide by the EULA, funds or assets acquired through what one would term fraud and/or embezzlement in RL are within the context of the game at-large, and thus not actionable by CCP.
CCP was referring to the EIB scam here.
This is a dumb argument. If CCP doesn't want scamming in their game all they have to do is change the EULA.

You don't know that. It's more likely that they got tired of getting so many barely legible support tickets from angry pubbies.

That has more to do with space pants and other poor decision making on CCP's part than anything we are doing. If CCP could point to an actual statistic that showed them that scamming was actually hurting the game they would change the EULA and put a stop to it. Everything else is just hot air.

Ok fair enough so nothing to do with Goons, ok, so where is this amazing pull the Goons are demonstrating for the appeal to the game on the server graph, please point it out?
Umm..."nothing to do with Goons" means we don't have an effect on the server graph. I don't think you know what you're asking for.

The inside of your hollow head is a slippery slope. The relevant metaphor would be bad money drives out good. If scamming was allowed in the recruitment channel, then the recruitment channel would soon become only scams, and as a result it would be useless to everyone.
There was no rule posted about scamming in the recruitment channel until a couple months ago.

I have never fallen for one, but they serve only to benefit players we don't really need in EVE while driving many newer and less experienced players away. So it is not about destroying the sandbox, but rather against those who do nothing but pissing into everyones sand. tl;dr u mad goon?`
And who are you to decide which kinds of players we need in Eve? Also, you have zero proof that scamming is driving anybody away from the game. The artist formerly known as Ladie Scarlet. |
