BTW, most of damismall's friends are omni, and the kid is a total mental case, emotionally.
He seeks revenge on everybody because life itself doesn't treat him too well, and then the secondary society he turns to, rejects him as well. In the last org i was in, he was kicked out for ganking clan. The kid ALWAYS mentions having high level omni friends (which isnt entirely false) as if to try to assure himself that everything is okay.
I guess this is sort of off-topic, but i just wanted to give you his little background story.
Yes, he should be entirely avoided.
Noooow for the topic at hand. Due to mankind's selfish nature, and the undying tendancy to take the quickest road to wants and desires (if it means no consequence), there will ALWAYS be things like this happening. What must be understood is that Anarchy Online is held up because of the trust between it's players, and because of the reliance on courtesy and morals. This can not be forgotten. Merely because FC says it is "legal" does not mean everybody can go and do it.
To the extent of my knowledge, I would have to say that Anarchy Online has the MOST SUCCESFUL SOCIETY humanly possible in an MMORPG. It is near-perfect. I'm not even going to make examples of all the other games that are plagued by 12 year olds and Asians that take out their anger of the world by means of Dark Elves (lol :P). In Anarchy Online, players depend on other players, knowing that those other players will depend on them at some point. The ones who take advantage of this are merely destroying a great thing. You can not lose perspective. If any of you really decides to leave AO, you might find yourselves dissapointed. (Well if you go into another game anyway. If you plan to straight up quit the grim reaper of time that we call video games, the really, do your life a favor and quit.) AO is a really honorable society. At times it may feel as if otherwise, but in all truth, it's probably the best out there.
NOW, for the sake of appealing to FC's perspective. Dont be idiots, if you make non no drop loot as fair-game, then you risk the chances of your big money machine falling apart. Simple as that. It may take away from the "Anarchy" aspect (which, may I add, is fairly ironic), but as long as you make money, it cool, right? There are only two types of societies, Capitalistic societies, and societies that pretend they arent, at-large, Capitalistic.
I dunno how stupid i may or may not sound, but whatever.
And yes, i know this will accomplish nothing. :P
