EVE Player Loses $1,200 Worth of Game Time In-Game

An anonymous reader writes "Massively.com has reported that an EVE Online player recently lost over $1,200 worth of in-game items during a pirate attack. The player in question was carrying 74 PLEX in their ship's cargo hold — in-game 'Pilot's License Extensions' that award 30 days of EVE Online time when used on your account. When the ship was blown up by another player, all 74 PLEX were destroyed in the resulting blast, costing $1,200 worth of damage, or over 6 years of EVE subscription time, however you prefer to count it. Ow."

    As there are no actual full English words in TFA, I'll take your word for it, but then it begs the question as to exactly what the fsck kind of moron spends $1300 on a video game subscription.
