Quote: Freeform contracts can no longer be created. This is due to griefing problems. You will still be able to view your completed freeform contracts for now but in an upcoming expansion older freeform contracts will be removed as well.
Why is there no CNP thread on this yet? I'm ashamed of you, CNP. |

Edited by: Ivanna Nuke on 28/06/2009 11:08:43 This was due to happen, many have witness how a freeform contract can melt the digitally enhanced titanium embraced shell of the spacial domain of the atomically perfect shellfish. The end was nigh as many a profit of the great giraffes of the fax machine did describe in his book of some importance to the low apples on the plain. |

Anyone want to start a sweepstake for how long it is before CCP declares scamming an EULA violation?

I don't think CCP are getting rid of scamming; there's a subtle difference between engineering a complex scam and spamming "HAY U GUYS ARE NEW PLAYERS WHY DONT YOU COME AND BUY THIS INTERBUS SHUTTLE FOR 9 BILL ^_^ (HI SHIGSY)" |

I'd be happy to relieve you of some of the money that isn't yours.

Contract spamming is not "scamming" it is "annoying".

Plenty of other means to scam around still. Including the normal item exchange type contract.
I'm guessing the freeform type change might be related to the common use to scam with or for plexes, which carry a common sentiment of "having to do with real money since they represent a monetary value in the eye of the victim / beholder / whatever".
I doubt we'll find out however, CCP are never very forthcoming with information on such matters or changes, and tbh, they don't have to.

I sense a stealth buff to scamming.... Hai guise contracts are safe now because CCP removed freeforms. |

CCP sees the amount of WoW subscribers, looks at their empty Icelandic wallets and starts to throw fish at eachother. Whoever comes up with the least WoW-ish looking, but most WoW-ish feature, will stop getting slapped in the face with some cold, raw cod. |

In recent times the freeform has carried SO MANY warnings that to fall for a freeform you would have to be pretty much almost incapable of independent thought. Given that people still do fall for them the only way CCP could possibly stop these people from getting their ISK taken away from them would be to ban scamming under the EULA.
Freeforms have always been tough to pull off and its only gotten harder with time. Its MUCH easier to just sell someone a PLEX for 1.3b by claiming its really 4 PLEXs.. (I prefer the buying 2 for the price of 1 scam anyway)
My point was however that removing freeforms at this point pretty much accomplishes nothing either way except that it shows the CCP _MAY_ be moving toward a more WOW like stance on abusing (but not breaking) in game mechanics. If this were to happen I believe that many of the older players will start to quit as its only a short stones throw from banning scams to banning non-consensual PvP. |

This is also my concern. Even as an NPC corp carebear, this decision (and more importantly, the future implications of it) bother the hell out of me. ---

I can kinda see why they're removing the freeforms
Other than scamming, what's the point of HAVING freeforms? --------------------------------------------
