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.
