you with this gun here, does it mean I should?
Many games have rules against scamming and generally misleading people. Apparently this is not the case in Eve... if there are no rules against it, does it make it right to do? How is it right to mislead somebody for your own gain? I don't see the point in this article. To me, it simply tells about a bunch of corrupt people in a corrupt game. Yes, it's just a game, but there are real people behind it, real money, real feelings. No matter how smart the scammer is, it's still a scam.

Though there's legitimate ethical debate on abortions, I don't think this is much different than having your organs donated after you die.
