The kid is 11 years old....And that is why you're the segment of humanity that I despise. The rest of us have compassion and want to support our gaming community. But you and the rest can piss off. GO enjoy your 20-something know-it-all life.

I have compassion but I also knew not to trust strangers when I was younger than 10. Since, you know, some adults [i]actually[/i] tell kids to not trust strangers. Nothing about that has changed, just a few more rules added due to technology. I'll sympathize with a child until certain things come to light. In this case I feel bad for the kid but not to the point Bungie should restore items or the FBI needing to be involved because the parent seemed unconcerned about explaining "the world isn't exactly fair/nice".

So you have no *real* compassion, unless it's for you....but you know / knew better when you were 11.... so long ago, You're what, 19 now....23?

How is it for me? I don't gain or loss anything if the kid gets their stuff back, if Kirmit gets banned, if either of them get banned, etc. Aside from ridding a community briefly, there's no 100% sure permanent fix to douche bags.

What does it have to be about YOU? Damn, gamers are supposed to be a community. This *should* be a kumbayah moment for us, but somehow it's another dividng issue. if we can't agree that this "prank" on a child is wrong then what can we agree on?
-
I never said we couldn't agree it is wrong. I'm just pointing out that most at age 11 knew to, at the very least, hesitate on trusting a stranger or their word, internet or in real life. Yes, it's a shitty thing the dude did. Yes, it sucks for the kid. But it's not something that the FBI are needed to be involved in nor does banning the dude really doesn't do much other than "hey, you do this, this is what'll happen".
-
I never said anything about the FBI... I missed that part. And I do apologize if I'm being a bit melodramatic. I have an 11 year old so am admittedly taking it personally.

Edited by MochaKat: 2/21/2015 2:04:23 AMI don't mean you but someone has made a post about how the FBI should be involved. That's understandable since parents tend to go "what if that was my child" and react from there. BUT I'd like to emphasize that fault lies in a bit of all parties involved (minus Bungie since Bungie logic further below). The child in me wants to hug the kid since, having grown up as an only child, I know video games can become a main thing to look forward to. The more emotional side of me wants to punch Kirmit, tell him he should be ashamed of himself and thank him for showing me why I should avoid him. The more adult in me (the one I don't want) wants to sit the kid down, explain why they shouldn't do what they did, emphasize that people are assholes (as they found out) but not everyone is an asshole by default or 100% of the time. There are good people out there, no doubt. It just takes a bit of digging to find them and bring it out. Not to mention the colder harder truth is that Bungie doesn't even restore lost items due to bugs (seen one too many lose a weapon while placing things in the vault only to get an error/contacting destiny servers) so I doubt they'll even consider making an exception if it involves a semi-conscious/aware player.
