Seems like some people take in game grudges REALLY serious. Not to mention its against game rules.


Have fun

    O.o that, that's one interesting way to do it xD

    Wouldn't that get him banned? Real money bounties to get rid of players you're salty with can be quite one efficient strategy lol

    He should kill himself with one of his alts for the cash.
    Are you onto something or just on something?

    Ah its not really a bounty.  He wants to pay players to help him push the alliance out of a certain territory.  Once its all finished he can just say I'm scamming muhahaha.

    The scammed party could take him to a court. Even if scamming is allowed in EVE, it's not allowed in real money, and the court would likely judge that it wasn't part of the game thus normal contract law applies.

    That doesn't mean a court would necessarily order the scammer to pay anything. If a contract is morally and ethically questionable enough, a court has the option to decide that officials take no action to enforce it.

    Pay to bully?


    its not about the people who play the game, its purely in game, its questionable, sure, it also makes the guy look weak that he has to use real money to get what he wants instead of having friends/allies. :o

    This is old news for EVE.  People have been paying alliances to fight other alliances since 2003.  I was in a mercenary corporation for about a year and we were paid for every ship we killed from another alliance.  I had a bounty placed on myself personally back in 2007 when I was solo raiding Geminate and wrecking Fang, Roadkill, Smash and the fledgling Atlas alliance.  Boy did they hate me and my pre-nerfed Vagabond.

    Also, World War Bee was entirely financed by one player with obscene amounts of in-game money.  In fact, he financed multiple alliances and they named themselves the Moneybadger Coalition since they were being paid to fight.  This was the coalition that eradicated most of Goonswarm from their territory in the space of a couple months.

    Proving karma can be a b!tch, CCP shut down his gambling operation, seized everyone's ISK invested in the site and banned him and others.  Reason: apparently can prove he was RMTing.
