Ya they really annoy me too, they're pushing the actual escrows off of the list and making it a real pain in the butt for people to use the system as it was designed. I understand its a 'viable' 'profession', but can't we at least have an escrow that is designed for transferring goods between 2 characters that is seperate from escrow? That way we don't have to look at all the crap where a guy is selling an obelisk for 1b that is actually a basalisk.

I do hope contract system will kill these. Its just annoying when 90% of escrow deals are SHUTTLES.

I'd be happy if they'd just add the ability to filter out people on your Block list. It's a system that's already in-game and would be enough to get rid of most of the garbage. |

Edited by: speedek on 20/07/2006 22:18:10 What about to make escrow only between 2chars or corps and for public escrow only faction items that aren't on market?

Ummm I think that is a bad idea. Should be able to sell anything you want.

I was wondering how long it would take for this comment. It's not an issue of getting scammed, because nobody with half a brain would fall for the obvious scams. It's simply an issue that for those of us that are trying to use the system for legitimate sales the sheer volume of scams is breaking the system - too much to scan, too much time and too much for the database to display. |

It's not falling for scams that people are worried about. It's that escrow will only display a certain amount of entries and the scams are pushing the legitimate escrows off the list.
Why do people do fake escrows ffs? It's not like anyone even falls for them. --------------------------------------------------------------------

Escrow really should have a block function. Obviously won't get it as its disappearing in Kali. Contracts better have one

Or give us a search function, with the ability to wander through still avaliable for people like me who like finding bargains.

Has anyone petitioned that one as an exploit? He's created a mission which nobody can possibly fulfil - that station has no access.

You do realise that the 1 Trit for 1 Bill Escrows are actually members buying Isk from places like EbaY...
If you see a sometimes blank Escrow for 1 Bill Isks, it most likely is also someone buying Isks with cash...
Another well noticed Escrow is one with a bunch of digits in the description. The digits are a receipt number from an Isk for cash deal....

Escrow Scammers are easily avoidable...
However
They are so incredibly lame, their mere existance in an insult to the soul of Eve.
More than ANYTHING else in Eve, they are the pure essense of risk free harming of other players.
I never pay attention when folks complain about risk free level 4 missions and such, as ALL NPCing is risk free when you know what you are doing.
But risk free methods of harrassing other players should be nerfed and destroyed by everyone, including CCP.
I never expect the problem to be completely fixed (cant be in a game like eve where free will is as important as it is.....), but with continued pressure, the cowards can be harrassed and nerfed back...

The new contract system that's replacing escrow is going to make eskrow scams pretty much obsolete cause you'll see right off what is being offered. Hopefully this will be in Kali 1.
One person mentioned this and I would like it as well, is making the trading function that two players have while in station at the same time available across the galaxy. But you still have to go to the station where the item is at to pick it up.
That way they can grab stuff at their lesuire rather than being stuck in that 1 week time frame. Player Recruitment

There is a fairly clever one. People are putting up hige stacks of lowend ore for severl times their worth simply by setting the price to a bunch of random numbers. It LOOKS like they just mined a bunch of ore, hit "use base price" and put it up - and for anyone who knows the ore prices, that would be incredibly cheap.

Everything on escrow now can be sold on the standard market with a very few exceptions, merely add those items/categories to the regular market and you would have no need for the entire escrow system. A simple escrow system could be used that would allow player trading, just force the completion of the player name box and remove the "available to all" option.

Edited by: Cheyenne Shadowborn on 21/07/2006 09:34:23 Whats the deal with that anyway?
When someone puts that ship scanner on the market for 999 billion he pays I dunno several hundred millions or such in sales tax. Put it on escrow - still get to sell it, announce it, scam with it but its free!
I don't understand why escrow and the market exist anyway ... I mean both, in parallel. They should unify all of that, allow all goods on the market which has a better UI, and stop having escrow arround at all. -----------------------------------------------------

Ban Sharkbait!
I have a petition of this sort running but not for escrow. I seemingly accepted a courier mission (which, unlike escrow, has no effing "are you sure" box so mouse events during UI lag cause you to accept stuff you never wanted), 60 jumps, 40 of them 0.0, to a station at the absolute end of the galaxy to a station that I most likely can't access. Collateral 25 million on a small armor repairer. I am more confident than it initially sounds since I found forum posts which say that creating missions clearly designed to rip collataral is against the rules.
But I am still waiting for the petition to be commented on. -----------------------------------------------------
