The Kid and Kermit
On the forums there is a debate. One between a kid and a frog (kermit). After reading the posts I had to clarify some things. I'll list the good first so the butthurt people don't jump to the comments. I want people to read.
1. Kermit is a real jerk. He deleted the kids stuff for his enjoyment and lied to him. What Kermit did was not right.
2. The fault in this event is within the kid. Why? Because a choice is what determines a fate. He was not forced in anyway to give his info but chose to trust him.
3. Is the kid stupid? No. Kids make mistakes. That is what being a child is all about, we grow and learn. Yes, the kid learned a lesson.
4. The kid made a mistake. An 11 year old boy who plays games should know to never allow someone you don't know have your info. These warnings are posted everywhere on the internet and all over some games.
5. The kid attempted to cheat. Hearing a rumor of said cheat, he tried it. In real life an attempted murder is still illegal.
This community is blinded by age, I say this because if the same thing happened to an adult, not much would be done. Just a simple "Deal with it."
Who's fault?: The Kid
Why?: Because a choice is a choice. He chose to trust him and was not forced to release any information. His freewill is what made him do it.
Who was wrong?: Kermit and The Kid
Why?: Kermit was a jerk for deleting his characters. I know what it feels like to lose something valuable to me, it hurts and I don't like it ehen it happens. However, the kid was wrong for giving info and attempting to cheat the game.
The kid is at fault but the frog did something that shouldn't have been done.
Should this kid be rewarded? No. He should not be rewarded for a mistake. Rewarding someone when wrong will only promote more bad.
I propose something other than a reward. A profile restoration.

1 ReplySo you basically condone kids cheating then... Oh and lying.... You sticking up for him makes it worse buddy, how many people cheese the bridge part in Crota raid. How many POEPLE cheese as much of life as they can. 1.) The kid made a mistake by trusting someone who said they were going to help them cheat. A total random, not a friend who had been on there for a few days it's bull crap, chinese whispers... 2.) the kid walked away from his ps4 allowing the kermit guy enough time to delete 2 characters and the 1 exotic on his third. First of all he was skeptical then bam fully trusting, yeah carry on play on my account. 3.) yes it's sad that he has this happen, but by no means should he be rewarded for it. He should be punished as well... 4.) Google search - glitch past base level 20... Do I need say more. Putting this kid on a pedestal like he's a FRICKING African orphan that survived a fight with a 1 ton lion at the age of 10 get a grip on life.
