    George W. Bush starts a war to settle a personal vendetta, costing the US economy about a trillion and change. Slashdotters respond by fretting and frowning over misconduct by developers of an online video game.

    I guess the Sixties really didn't count. I never really believed that before today. Does that make me a naive person, or just a dumbass?

      Probably both.

      Do you really think the hippies ended the Vietnam conflict? if you do you're a fucking moron. China had more to do with the American withdrawal than any amount of protesting "back home".

      I guess you old folks like to rewrite history to make yourselves look like heroes instead of the dimwitted dildos that you are.

    I am a WoW player (shocking...I know). But I tried EVE one summer with all my friends and started to kinda get into it. Well eventually just simply mining bored me and I went back to WoW, but my friends stayed. They CONSTANTLY bash on WoW, saying it's the "stupid-man's" game, and how intricate and complex EVE is. I wonder what they'll think of their "high-and-mighty" game when they realize the developers are nothing but cheating scum. When reading that article, and saw that they were going for a mothership, I knew something could not have been right. Other than the Titan-class ships, motherships are the most expensive ships in the game. And then to have all those BPO's. BPO's are EXTREMELY hard to find and worth ALOT of money (especially for those items). Someone needs to pod-kill that dev a few times. So what have we learned today? Play WoW

    So... you want sympathy from us because you tried to sell WoW gold and ended up shut out of the market? Tell you what. You and Mysterious Ebayer X can both die in a moonfire.
