EVE Online player scammed 850 billion ISK (in-game currency)

[Meneldil]

I've read a few pages of this thread. Apparently the guy is doing it just for the kicks. He said he intends to make an even bigger scam in the future and that this money will be used to fund it.

Eve Online seems to be worse than WoW when it comes to e-peen. This dude is being a jerk just to become a celebrity.

See, just like in real life ;)

Beskar, I have kept some friends from online games (quite a few). Regardless though, given he invested loads of energy into the game, he probably appreciate those loose "friends". But then, yeah, 43k usd is a good reason to scam for some people :)

As a sidenote; anyone trusting a character called "Bad Bobby" representing "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" kind of have themselves to blame, amirite?

You don't really have 'revenge' against single players

Not sure about that; (should my ";" be there?) there does come a point where being constantly harassed and abused would get to you and I'm sure that you'd get utterly decimated whenever you stepped out of the security zone. You'd be forced into an alt account, but that guy should know when to quit since he's one of the only people to have come out of a MMORPG with equal/more than they put in!

Definitely, he should just laugh in their faces.

EDIT: Wow, they don't even sound that angry!
