Don't you come in here acting all innocent! You're mine too, have you been seeing that fat man behind my back!?

[ QUOTE ]
Hell yeah!

Edit: Btw that is in no way rude or anything since i have the upmost respect for the FFM. (only realised it could be seen as rude ONCE i posted )

[/ QUOTE ]

He's a stinking liar and it disgusts me.

EDIT: I mean it. Never trust a fat guy.
EDIT: What are you waiting for? A disclaimer? Get outta here!

Isn't he just great? *hugs BlueRabbit*

....AND HE'S MINE! *glares at everyone else*

You can be charged with Fraud even if you have no knowledge of the transaction going through. Ignorance of the action isn't actually any defence against it, legally.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes we all know about the anti-ignorance defense built into legal systems. Thanks for that.

[ QUOTE ]

I've got to do Fraud training every 3 months as part of my job.

[/ QUOTE ]

I used to. All sorts of people do. I don't care.

[ QUOTE ]
It's unfortunate when it's a software glitch, but if you acquire or transact money that isn't yours to transact with, it is fraud.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, I can't commit theft anymore, if it involves money it can only be fraud!

[ QUOTE ]
Now, providing a payment system which inadvertently takes money without authorisation isn't what most of us (myself included) would class as intentional, but it can be said to damage another individual.

[/ QUOTE ]

It can also be said you all clicked on the link to authorise multiple transactions, which has now resulted in NCSoft having to spend its own money to fix the problem, through paid manhours and card charges. By the time this is finished only one single entity will have been damaged; NCSoft. You have defrauded them. It's great fun to build all sorts of bull**** with the wide terms offered by 'fraud', but it's nowhere near as scary as the suits like to pretend it is when they make their powerpoint presentation. I committed fraud on a solicitor once. Actually I shortchanged him by ten pence, but he amusingly went through a list of absurd charges that he could have made because he was bored and wanted to keep eating the free Skittles by the counter. I'd have stopped him if I knew he was eating all my purple ones.

[ QUOTE ]
However, legally (and there are court cases going on right now covering this which may end up spewing out reams of legislation which require heavy system changes, thus my interest) it could be said that providing a system which takes money without authorisation is "Intentional" fraud, depending on what sides the courts end up looking at.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except it didn't take it without authorisation, you all kept clicking the link and pushed through more transactions. Quite obviously why there's going to end up with all sorts of new legislation as you put it, because it's so damn easy to claim anything as fraud when it blatantly isn't, and corporate lawyers probably have to spend six days out of seven kicking a new hole in it because of glitchy internet transactions happening when there's an opportunistic scumbag in the room.

[ QUOTE ]
Not technically. It is fraud.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it isn't. We still operate a legal system of 'innocent until proven guilty'. A major software screwup that results in multiple charges to the customer which was in no way intended by the merchant, just plain isn't fraud.

You can call the actual problem that occurred and the resultant amount of time needed to properly fix it whatever you like, unfortunate, incompetant, amusing, irrelevant, devastating, chocolate, pig, plate, car, Mars....but it isn't fraud until they do it on purpose.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd like the Moonbase zone added with believable reasons

[/ QUOTE ]

That's how the Rikti got around the portal barrier stopping them getting to Earth. A moonbase would be striking back at the base the Rikti must have set up to run their dropships out of. We've already got the reason, but I guess it'd just be another Rikti smash.

Then again, they probably wouldnt be able to resist having Fifth Column up there as well, what with the 'Nazi Moonbase' meme.

[ QUOTE ]
Ok the Magic Pack has definitely been attracting a lot of people.

We are in the process of assigning more resources to the store to help alleviate the current issue.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hamsters twelve to eighteen, you have been assigned new wheels, report to the Store! Mwaaaahahahahahahaha! Run! RUN!
*whiplash*

Poor hammies....

Maybe they were wary of someone serving tea in a loincloth then?, shame, you could of shown them your finest /em,teabag emote impersonation.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good thing I tidied all that up yesterday, could have been more than sugar and milk in the tea otherwise....

[ QUOTE ]
Must of been your Barbarian's "One chunk or two?" routine put them-off?

[/ QUOTE ]

Tea is strong with one sugar. There isn't a routine, that's just how it is.

I wanted to join them, but they don't need anyone to make the tea.

[ QUOTE ]
Work is still in progress as far as resolving the latency on the NCsoft Online Store is concerned, but our Billing team has been warned and will be ready to deal with all your petitions during office hours tomorrow.

[/ QUOTE ]

Awwwww, you mean I can't get a free Magic Pack out of BlueRabbit with some well chosen soft words?

[ QUOTE ]
I've gotten five emails all saying my ticket been escalated in support, how frigging large is their support heirarchy?

[/ QUOTE ]

About six people on overtime going, "Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod...."

[ QUOTE ]
... there will be an exception in this case, won't it?

[/ QUOTE ]

An exception or a class action lawsuit, whatever they prefer I suppose.

[ QUOTE ]
So, Avatea... is there anyway I can give the 2nd one to some other player rather than watching it sit there and go to waste?

[/ QUOTE ]

And all that time spent flirting miiiiiight just pay off....

Good thing I'm too busy with Civilization 4 and Empire: Total War to be playing CoX at the moment then. I can get the pack when you've all finished smashing the place up.

I have absolutely no problem with the AE buildings, in any way. I find the complaints are frequently hugely single mindedly overthought and overblown with the added bonus of making up additional complaints about them that in a fun twist, haven't been thought about in the slightest.

Oooo, I like fanservice, and Nitoichi even though her name is weird.

Want to work on the knees though. Looks like her leg is a bent tube instead of a hinge. Thighs upward is great though.

[ QUOTE ]
That would be logical khorak if the terminals were inside the compound not outside of it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I like the idea that we're claiming to be using logic, but ignoring that every single building is an identical massive construct, even in an interdimensional invasion warzone, with the conclusion that possibly the system is considerably more extensive and complicated than 'a few consoles'.

[ QUOTE ]
Just more proof that they quit caring about the story in this game a long long time ago...

[/ QUOTE ]

Or maybe that the playerbase is so stupid and eager to moan that they didn't just fail to realise that a total immersion VR environment would be a revolution in troop training, and one of the greatest tools available to Vanguard thanks to it, but that the initial in-universe explanation for the Mission Architect specifically pointed out Positrons interest in the technology as a training simulator. Obviously it doesn't make any sense at all that Vanguard would have an interest in flawlessly realistic but non-fatal training available for their soldiers.
