I mean, there *is* the part where a ten year old was about to be recruited by edgelords. That might be an issue.

We don’t grow up with innate knowledge of game systems and when you’re young, the idea of taking the self destruct tax simply might not occur to you or be something you’re willing to accept. Again - from a design perspective, what’s the usefulness of incentivizing that behavior?

if i trick a seven-year-old into thinking that if he doesn't give me his lunch money, he'll get banned from world of warcraft, that isn't blizzard's fault or a problem with WOW.

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)

I'm wondering how affordable "5% of ship cost" feels. Biased sample source, but looking up a fan-wiki on the topic has a ton of people in comments lamenting being unable to afford the down-payment on a loan the game offers you (much less the cost itself) Sounds deterring to me

If they don't have the 5% of ship costs, the only thing they lose is the free ship that was given to them by the griefers in the first place.

And their time and possibly their dignity, but hey, who’s counting.

Giving people bad advice that turns out to be a stupid waste of their time is not "enslaving" them.
