Yes, but the police don't turn up to a bank robbery armed with machete's shouting "come out with your hands up or...we'll come inside and mother[bleep]ing cut you up"

But no, the knife crime over here is blown out of proportion.

But the solid and winning fact is we don't have guns. So, if someone pisses you off, you just go beat them up instead of killing them with a gun. It's much more manly and humane.

Like, there's a manhunt in Keighley, WY for Craig Meehan. If they're going to kill him, it's going to be with their bare hands. Good stuff.

He was smart. He could have done it in real life and got put in prison or do it online and only get banned.

Still, it wasn't right.

No, it isn't.

On topic: Isn't this kind of stuff ENCOURAGED in EVE?

Nothing has a "sticker price".

Gold is only worth about as much as somebody is willing to pay for it.

Take Economics. If it has worth to somebody, it is worth something.

Think I'd rather be shot. Usually less risk of permanent damage.

Excusing the thief's actions because the item being scammed is "virtual" is really naive.

The scammed virtual currency has real life worth, since it can be exchanged into real life currencies. Think of it this way: if I stole your money by using electronic/internet funds transfer (as opposed to scamming your cash), does it make my actions any more excusable? There's no difference, they can both be exchanged into real life currencies, and neither are "real" before the exchange (they're just data).

Yeah and when you get stabbed, it's usually like 6 times. When you get shot they'll probably only hit once or twice.

I don't mean to be harsh to any players here, but seriously EVE is the only thing even lamer than WOW. Every time I read about something like this I lol.

Good thing I gave up on eve a while ago.

EVE always seems to have the best news
