It is if they’re not working to eliminate that type of player from their environment. The designers have absolute power and it is a *conscious* choice on their part to tolerate behavior like that. I dunno, “space slavery deserves to exist” seems like a weird hill to die on.

The article and your argument rests on a fundamental misunderstanding about how the game works. "Space slavery" is not a thing in the game. Players cannot trap or strand other players without their consent and active participation.

There aren't any mechanics to encourage what happened in this article. WOW does not "encourage" or "incentivize" getting newbies on your two-person mount and dumping them in a high-level zone. And escaping it is as trivial in Elite.

This is a horribly-framed article that you are taking at face value.

You’re assuming a new player has the depth of knowledge to understand that they can escape (which clearly isn’t the case as the designers themselves are saying they will be issuing a warning in the future)

In addition, you still haven’t answered *why* this type of behavior should be incentivized from a design perspective. If something I created was used to create something even slavery-adjacent I would shut that shit down immediately, emergent gameplay be damned.

The article does not make it clear that you cannot actually be trapped by players like this, and that the story is only possible because they groomed players who were so new that they didn't know something the tutorial teaches you.

There's also no incentive to do this! It was specifically fucking with new people who didn't know anything about how the game works, for benefits that are entirely trivial given the resources necessary to do this.

We’re talking about two different incentives here and I think you’re focusing on the economic outcome. Yes, the economic outcome might not be ideal, but it’s still there. The bigger (and worse) incentive is making people feel like shit.

And I’m okay with allowing people to make other people feel like shit as long as it can’t be CONSTRUED AS SLAVERY
