WoW player harrasses woman in-game, gets beat up by woman's husband IRL *update* |
Ó
Bronco Carson, a World of Warcraft player from Mexico, reported to police on Saturday that three men broke into his home and beat his arms with clubs and totalled his computer. The reason? Carson had been repeatedly ganking the WoW character of the wife of one of his assailants.Carson reportedly told police that he had been "making it hard for her to get far in the game." The woman had already threatened Carson online, and Carson said that he had already been constantly harassed in-game two weeks prior to the attack.
And then Carson made the mistake of giving the woman his address, telling the woman that "if her husband was man enough to just come meet me to settle this."
The result? Carson got two broken fingers and a fractured wrist during the assault. His computer and entertainment center were also totaled by his three attackers before they left. "I knew that I might be messed with in the game but I didn't really expect her husband to come looking for me," said Carson. "I couldn't have been more wrong."
Now let this be a lesson to everybody. Taunting people behind the relative safety of the Internet may be fun, but don't be stupid enough to give out your real home address. If you do, then it's a whole new ballgame.

If you're without the means to physically defend yourself, then why are you trying to be a bully online?
Get a clue folks, some people aren't so forgiving!

If they are first to start the mess IRL say "***** off"
turn round and walk away. If its in game say "***** off", turn round and walk away.If she's still messing with you- Kill her once prove that she's no match for you, turn round and walk away.Or just humiliate her by leaving her with 300hp, turn round and walk away.If she brings her husband - kill her husband first then leave her with 300hp , turn round and walk away =))))

Violence has always been the answer when all other options have been exhausted. I don't think 'talking about it' would have helped .. do you? *smile* -- I bet the will think twice about harrassing people in the future.
RE: How come nobody is criticizing the guys who attacked him? Since when did physical violence become an acceptable way of resolving anything?

You can only kill another person in a duel. You need to agree to these.
Ganking would require you are opposite factions in the game. Alliance Vs Hord the two sides at War (World of WAR Craft)
You need to be set to Player Vs player to be ganked. So she eaither picked a player vs player server or she turned on player vs player on her character. Eaither way she made the choice to be attacked from hostile players.
I have been ganked a few times and sometimes repeatedly. I have either battled, called for help from guild members, or turned of PVP (takes 5 minutes to shut off so need to hide or respawn at a grave yard to get a way).

Personally anytime I've ever resorted to violence, all that happened was that people got hurt, nothing was resolved. This guy didn't deserve to get his fingers broken for being such an imbecile, jeez, if that were the standard, what would these guys do to our president?

In terms of different factions talking to each other directly...tis true you can not do it...unless you set up another accoutn on the same server and join the same faction. ROFL!! I love when I gank someone enough they have to make a horde charcater to come tell me what an a$$ I am...I love pooring salt in the wound by responding ... iIii (flip em the bird) Wooot!! whatch the fire works start....can you say reported!! lol!
Whos your daddy!

So the article is fake. Very entertaining, very fun and very fake. Come to think of it, the game is also fake (surprise!), very entertaining and very fun, but still fake.
Come on everyone! Enjoy the game, enjoy the article.

your joking right?
Physical violence is frequently the only way to solve anything. Ever hear of World War II? Or should we have just talked the Nazi's into giving up?
In fact, I would be willing to bet that physical violence solved the problem in this very case. I dont think Mr. Bronco Carson will be 'ganking' anyone in the near future.

First, the woman is a stupid *****. She doesn't know the game. She gets people to sort her problems out. She's a retard. I hope her tampon turns into a hedgehog.
Second, the husband should be jailed. Yes it's a criminal offence and anyone saying that violence does solve problems should go to jail along with him and see how their a$$hole likes some violence.
Third, the guy who got beat is obviously another c0ck. Repeatedly screwing someones game for kicks is lame enough but then giving his address and inviting retaliation is asking for it. Deserves getting screwed for being an idiot.
Finally I'm amazed at how stupid some of the replies are around here. If anyone wants to give me their real address then I'll come round and dish out some lessons. Me and Mr Crowbar.

Mr. Carson does not deserve to have his fingers broken for "ganking" anyone, but the people who broke his fingers also broke the law and deserve to go jail.
I do recognize, as Huey Newton said, that "violence is as american as apple pie", but hey, this happened in Mexico!

You don't go to people's houses and do that *****. That's called "vigilante".
Oh, and on a side note, hello everyone on the CAD forums. It's Firebird, and sorry I can't join you all. I was banned a long time ago for saying something incredibly dumb. Anyway, later!

However.
Physical violence as 'resolving' problems with some internet bully is a totally different thing.
If you are here to discuss semantics - fine. If you are here to defend what they did to the mexican - get a clue.

You just gave every reason two opposing factions [could] talk. I own two accounts as-is. One for me, one for guests. Or whenever I feel like goofing off.
He this guys kindadeserved getting beaten for giving out his address. "That is called internet saftey kids!"

Unless you get hit, oddly, with some sort of aoe spell from a npc such as a training lockbox at the same moment you lose.
((hehe I did it to a friend))

Maybe we should start teaching the adults too.

The guy was dumb enough to give out his home address. He chose to do it, He told her to get her husband to 'settle' it, he didnt explain any other conditions. "He wasnt expecting it" He should have expected it the moment his address was given away over the internet.

That's the problem with this country now. Children need to be beaten because it's through force and punishment that an objective ethical system is constructed in an individual. It's also why a majority of women are terrible in positions of power, if you've never been held accountable for your actions, you're just going to abuse power and not have any concern for other's well being. People that disclaim violence and instead feel they should be free to act as they want are simply attempting to escape any repurcussions. Words are easily ignored by an aggressor.
These guys shouldn't be arrested, they should be given a reward. Hopefully violence will be recognizes as a valid form of meting out justice soon, our jails are filled with criminals that don't get reformed and just waste our tax dollars. Better instead to beat some sense in these idiots, so that they fear ever committing a crime again.

IRC, 2 Accounts, Forums, emails
Those who say that its unlikely u can find the otehr person outta thousands on the forums.
most people use their mains as the name they use on forums
secondly, those who say violance never solved anything, are you gonna let ur wife get raped while you watch and light a cig while you wait for him to finish or are you gonna beat that mofo over the head.
But in this case, yes violence is a bad thing when it stems from somethng happening in game and causeing no actual harm to someone IRL.
third, those who say 3 on 1, unfair, if he was a real man he would of taken him on 1 on 1.... all i can say is PFT, you go into a fight with the aim of wining, you do what ever you can do to win, if its to fight dirty, you fight dirty, if its to use a weapon you use a weapon, if its geting 2 mates to come, you get 2 makes to come with you. You maximise your chances of coming out with the least amount of harm and the most chance of victory.
