Here is a collection of whispers and conversation with 'nightslife'.
Some of you may have seen nightslife in the Datamine complex tapping away at nodes, minding his own business. Some of you may have attacked him too. I have attacked him and killed him on many occasions, and while it's a Free For All zone and anything goes there is a side to it I didn't really account for. On one hand the underlying condition of the FFA zone is you're liable to be killed at any time, as the monetary rewards are very high and in fact it's people like myself that make the zone work, I and my friends spend hours running around killing other players in the Datamine because it's incredibly fun and lets face it, being able to draw that kind of info out of somewhere shouldn't be "free".
On the other hand I'm directly effecting someone's livelihood and income by doing this. So I'm now asking myself, how am I supposed to feel about killing this guy in the Datamine? Guilt? For making his life harder, and hindering his progress? Or am I doing the MxO community a favor by slowing the amount of $i available out there?
