My experience has gotten worse. When I was a noobie I was kind of like you and would explore alone and go to different events. Eventually I met some nice friends and started getting more involved with SL. I had a home and a role to play in different groups. I was even a dancer for a while and made pretty good amount of lindens. I had a paid account and I looked forward to coming to SL.However as time as passed I noticed less originality and less security on the part of SL labs. I became the victim of someone that I in fact introduced to the wonderful world of SL.This person used me to learn the ropes then after an argument or comment decided to start harassing me with alternate avatars .The person followed me to every place I would go , copied and stole from not only me but people around me. They were able to hack into my computer due to a faulty firewall and steal everything from my password to my inventory. They used grieving huds and combat huds on my av freezing me and making me move about without my even touching the keyboard. They would show up with alts at different clubs and enter contests with their alts in order to win the lindens. This person has used avatars parked on Sims to steal from others and written scripts in an attempt to hack peoples inventory by passing it off as a friendly giving gesture only later to show up wearing their outfits that they spent money on edited. Such incidents happened to me where I would buy an outfit and later the alternate used by the malicious person would be standing in the club next to me wearing the same outfit edited meaning they changed the color to where it was obvious because the color of my outfit was mixed into a color the creator did not sell. I stopped coming to SL for about a year after this and I even contacted linden labs about it and they did nothing so I eventually cancelled my paid account. As for now I come to SL knowing I am being stalked and my inventory stolen . I do not spend my money here anymore and I do not add friends and because of this one person I trust no one on SL and cannot take the world seriously as I used to . I know there are some good people in SL and I know that creators face the problem of copiers as well but I feel if we are to truly make this our secondlife then linden labs needs to make it a safe and secure environment without petty hand slaps for the people that actually torment others. There is a fine and a prison sentence in RL due to online stalking and harassing and at the moment a law suit between a creator and some other player in SL because of this lack of security and respect for the players of SL. I continue to play SL with this knowledge but my SL personality from now to when I first started is very different.
