Player's behavior

[Crazyr0m]

Hello!
I am new to RP and to Discovery, so what I will describe might be acceptable or even normal, but it seems wrong to me, and I would like to know opinions of older players.

So. Yesterday a guy called (no naming) (writing from memory, might be a little wrong, but easy to confirm) flying shieldless (!) Stargazer told me that he is broke, stuck and cant even do missions, and "would you be kind enough to buy me a starter ship". I tried to explain about /restart Beginner command, but he would not listen, soon he said he does not want to restart, not answered why. He was level 43, I asked a person with starter ship and lvl 40 about money, he had 2 millions. So, that means (no naming) flying Stargazer being level 43, had more than 2 millions credits! He was simply lying to make people give him money.

Later I was talking to a friend, who told me he is helping a "child who knows nothing". I asked for name, and guess what, (no naming) again, pretending to be a total noob, asking for money.

In few hours his level was already 62! I don't know how much money is that, but certainly its more than enough to buy decent ships. And later I came to Pensy, and there he was, asking for money in open system chat. I told a player that was near "he is lying, he is not noob and he has money, look at his level". The person responded "I know, that's why I gave him 1 credit" (just to troll, I understand).

SO! How normal, acceptable, tolerable is such behavior? Lie and pretend to make others give you cash?
I read all rules I could find here on forums, but did not find anything about this.


An interesting encounter, refer to my comment below. However, please do not use player names referencing to possible rule violations. If you think someone has done something unacceptable, report them in the respective forum section.
