I got someone booted from SWG tonight…

for being an idiot more than anything else.

There’s a Player in the game that has found an interesting way to harrass Entertainer characters, specifically high-level musicians.

This Player shows his Friend “something funny” specifically: how to take a certain type of instrument away from a musician, forcing them to stop playing music, and then needing to re-deploy the item from thier inventory.

So the Player and his Buddy go around the cantina stealing instruments and eventually get reported by several other players. Using /report sends the last 100 lines of chat to the GMs for review. I reported both the Player and the Friend. the Friend comes back later and appearantly start’s cussing me out (I don’t know, I had him on my /ignore list) but I notice him standing behind me, so I take him off my list so I can hear what he’s saying.

Almost immediately I get the /tell “fuck you bitch” (ah, the joys of playing a female character…) from the Friend, who goes on to explain that he just got his acct suspended. And that he just got the game today, and he hopes I’m happy, and, and…

I can’t say I feel sorry for the guy, especially after that lovely /tell (which got reported too – heh) – but I’m hoping the Player that showed him that little trick, and abused it much more, gets the boot as well. (The Friend implied that the Player didn’t.) The Friend only moved my instrument once, the Player was the one that was really bad about it. But the Friend was also the one that admitted to it in chat, which probably why he got suspended.
