It's not the responsibility of the game administrators to bail out those who lose out by buying, or being unable to sell, 'illegal' or black market goods.

If people were ploughing real money in through the game mechanics (subscription based contributions f.e) then there would have been a duty of care probably.

If people haven't lost money (only enjoyment) then it's a choice the game admins make, whether to intervene to keep the gamers playing, or let nature take its course.

Well I've got a fantastic hedge going on ISK futures.
Do you want a piece of this lucrative action?

the problem with these games is there is no police force. It's every man for themselves.

Many of these people deserve what happened to them. It's like the old west. You have to cover your own ass. There is no "law" to back you up.

And this is a major failing of mmorpg's. And why player killers are such a problem.

As long as no actual money was stolen and no rules were broken, I don't see the problem.

If the thieves acted within the rules of the game and the players and/or administrators don't like the outcome, then modify the rules for the future.

But in a game featuring star pirates, you have to expect some thievery.

Because Markos said so. Do you have a problem with that?

Yes. He's cluttering up the OT. I say ban the spammer.
