    Stealing in game will lead you to become a cyber criminal!!!

    http://www.theguardian.com/technolog...s-online-games

    People who go on to commit serious cybercrime often start out with minor thefts in online games such as World Of Warcraft, a leading detective has said.
    Looks like A LOT of cyber criminal will be coming out later this generation....

    I'm not proud.

    But I once scammed someone of 200g.

    I promised to craft him some primordial rubies and just logged it the fuck out.

    "It's 2015, let's use a picture from 2005"

    That article is pure speculation. And people mostly steal in video games because of no consequences.

    Depends on what they define as stealing, there could certainly be a correlation if its things like hacking accounts and trying to actively scam players more so than just ninjalooting.

    But then again, correlation does not imply causation.

    That is bullshit I used to steal in WoW all the time, not even small stuff too, I used to regularly steal partial Molten Core clears to save my guild having to do the junk bosses. Yet I don't steal online, I dont buy into that file sharing is ok horseshit.

    Its not stealing in games that make people become a cyber criminal, its a delusional sense of entitlement, lack of repercussions, and an anti establishment fuck the system mentality created by the terrible parenting practices of the 90s and 2000s.
    "Gamer" is not a bad word. I identify as a gamer. When calling out those who persecute and harass, the word you're looking for is "asshole." @_DonAdams
    When you see someone in a thread making the same canned responses over and over, click their name, click view forum posts, and see if they are a troll. Then don't feed them.

    Someone on my server pretended to be a girl to get name changes and real things bought for them. Good old Dave from Bradford.

    There are loot rules. If you set them up wrong, it's your fault, but it isn't stealing. If you stay in the group, you agree with them.

    All those gold minces were created by someone. How did they manage to get that? Monsters are thieves themselves. Probably ripped apart some poor lad and took his money.
