Curse

But even I have my morality line in the sand, so to speak. For instance, If i was walking behind a person and they dropped a thousand bucks, id let that person know.

But on the other hand, if i walked by an ATM and all of a sudden it spit out a thousand bucks, id put it straight in my pocket.

I dont have a problem with taking advantage of a cooperation because it doesnt directly impact a person just trying to live like i am. That is where i may calculate the chance of getting caught and the consequence with the reward.

So i am definitely not righteous in the least bit.

So basically we are teaching them 12 year olds a valuable life lesson in return for something they probably failed grade 7 to obtain.

SOUNDS LIKE A WIN-WIN?

Just sounds like a poor excuse to screw someone over to me because it is full of speculations and "probablys"
That kind of life lesson usually needs a harsher penalty than a few missing virtual gold. It took me losing all my worldly belongings to begin my lesson in not trusting people. Even after that i still wanted to give people the benefit of the doubt. But now I automatically assume EVERYBODY is trying to get over on me.

As long as you have the absence or looseness of your morals to take advantage of the naivety of a person to begin with. Me, i still think its sad.

Twelve year olds don't have much in their lives to lose - so losing GWG is quite a blow to them. It's all proportionate.

ATMs generally have cameras in them or near them. The person doesn't have eyes in the back of their head.

I guess... But its still a speculation. Just because there is no certainty that the person you are taking advantage of will automatically become aware of the scum of the earth. Like my mother for example, she is the most gullible person on earth. Because she is a christian and she will trust any stranger because "that is what Jesus would do". I have been knocking out her "new boyfriends" for years because they all end up taking advantage of her kindness. And will she ever learn that life lesson? Probably not. Its sad but some people are just like that, Too nice and naive about the real world. (probably your favorite kind of target)

Yes but if an ATM spit a thousand bucks on the ground, one could easily cover their face.

Even though the individual didnt see that he dropped the money, it could have been his last bit of cash needed to keep a roof over his head.

Its not a point of pure consequences or chance of success. Morality takes precedence. And my personal morals cover causing harm or distress on an individual.

Put it this way,

i heard a commercial saying, "You wouldnt steal a car, You wouldnt Steal a T.V, You wouldnt Steal a DvD, Pirating is stealing"

well True i wouldnt Steal a car, but if someone said, hey Aaron i just bought this Porsche, "Would you like me to Pirate you copy", I'd have no problem with that.

scamming is like pirating, if u got someone who CAN do it, they will.

and I'll admit i scammed many mini pets to fill up my HoM thing, oh and i swapped a crappy skinned.modded scythe for a UNCUSTOMISED caster modded destroyer spear, all because i said to the guy, its a really rare skin.....Got a Victim, u got a scammer.

Well then call me Jack Sparrow, because GW is probably the only software on my PC that isnt pirated, and that is only because i havent found a way yet.

You could do something like Ebay, where people can post positive and negative feedback about you (and you can reply to the negative if you want). Obviously if a scammer had a whole bunch of "don't take runs from this guy, he's a scammer" (followed by the inevitable, "No I didn't!"); a clear picture of the type of player that guy was would eventually form.
