Really now.
I keep telling my 8yo that he needs to learn to read adeptly so that he doesn't get ripped off and overcharged/ scammed in the real world (since he thinks being able to read is a drag).
I guess reading or the lack of it is the only failure here, too bad someone used game mechanics to their advantage.
Too much isk in the hands of a noob it seems, old parable, a fool and his money are soon departed.
Lesson learned, move along now.

Seriously though, check something before you buy it, and you won't get scammed.

Edited by: Esamir on 23/02/2009 15:26:13 Not that I care (never been scammed), but I'm a bit surprised that CCP allow it. I think it'll probably cause a few people to 'ragequit', and while that is hilarious for us, its not so good for CCP's bottom line...
p.s Top Tip: Count the freaking zeroes. Twice. Then do it again.

And I bet it was a free form contract to boot
Never accept any free form, and make sure to read very carefully the details of any contract you're interested in. |

Originally by: Ms Freeze PLEX involves real money, it is actually nothing more than a split GTC, and scamming with these items should be concidered a bannable offense imho in the same manner scamming with GTCs is.
This
By that logic, was would be the actual difference between scamming a 330m armor repairer (or whatever) and scamming a plex?
If you forbid plex scamming, you'd have to forbid all scamming... ya, good luck with that.

The fact that I do not see any periods or commas (besides the one you used to separate the thousand point) makes me not care about you're plight at all.

GTC = Owned by you. PLEX = Owned by CCP
If you convert the GTC into a PLEX you give CCP your GTC (money) for offering you the service of using a in-game item for trading game time. As soon as this happens, standard reimbursement policies apply. As scamming is perfectly within the game rules you will not be reimbursed and no action will be taken against any scammer.
It's so simple, people must be intentionally dense to not understand this. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Part of the game mechanics. Is it CCPs fault that you don't know how to pay attention to detail?
Don't think so.
Sorry son, you lose on this one. We can at least know you will read ALL of the contract next time.

Edited by: Qwyp on 23/02/2009 18:50:50 Just petition it, and try. Sometimes you get lucky, I've had ships replaced when others said I wouldn't. Don't whine on forums just to get flamed like a troll. Just petition it and see what they do, might get a lucky help like some that get ships replaced when others think they shouldn't. Or they say no. Regardless you bypass ridicule of forums.
always petition everything and let csr's sort it out, never bring that crap to forums.

People like you are responsible for the long delays for petitions, especially reimbursement. I hope you die painfully (ingame)

and I have no problem with it, Ive had a plex scam reversed, and I've had a ship replaced already so you damn right I ain't bringing some lame crap to forums for whining. I petition it and get the job done or get the answer. The petition system works great! For us that get replacements when servers screw up or scam crap, just depends on the csr you get.

not a troll, I'm telling OP he is either trolling or if he's for real take this fecal matter off the forums cause as he can see people only ridicule you.
I've had plex and couple ships fixed, just petition, and let them sort it out, letting forums sort it out just makes ya either a troll or ignorant.
trust me much easier to just petition and let csr handle it regardless of outcome, if they say no you can go about your business without forum flaming.

An idiot who doesn't check the contract he's accepting is an idiot soon parted from his money.
I don't get why everybody is all "oh plex's equal real money you shouldn't be able to scam for them".
Its not like the player is doing anything that breaks game mechanics to get your plex cards, AND, in most cases, isk is still trading hands (*even if its significantly less than YOU think they are worth).
So why is it that you all are crying about making it a "bannable" offense when the guy getting scammed is usually at fault for not properly reading what he's accepting? For not understanding that he's selling his money for under market value because he's too stupid or lazy to read the contract?

Petition it right away. From my understanding plex scams are now bannable. Could be wrong here, but that's what I've heard from a number of people lately.

Edited by: Jascoe on 23/02/2009 20:32:09 Doesn't anyone see this as a sympathy scam?
My isk goes to the betting window to place a bet he was never scammed and is just fishing for sympathy donations.
In general about scammers: Interesting how games offer a blank slate to create a persona, and some people choose to paint themselves into the scene as skum in the gutter. Edit: Added a 'k' because of the word sc um is somehow sensored.
