Hi,
I am the most stupid new player because I just destroyed about 1.4bn by accident.
I started EVE on November 24th and have been playing it since then ferociously. I started salvaging and doing some industry building rigs. I also placed some buy orders and were trying to update those buy orders. Today I made the biggest mistake of my EVE-live so far. While modifying the price for Armor plates, I deleted the comma and therefore increasing my buy-order by the factor of 100. Immediately I had to pay 789 million in market escrow and 45 million in brokers fees. I couldnGÇÖt delete my order, because it was blocked from modifying for 5 minutes.
I tried to transfer all my remaining ISK to an alt, but already two buyers bought the armor plates for 1.2 billion and 240 million. I lost a total of 1.482.682.813 ISK.
I have 4 days left on my OMEGA account, then I will fall back to Alpha status.
I am the most stupid player on EVE.

Why did you delete the comma?
I never did anything so dumb.
I've got 3 trillion isk now.
I guess comma-deleters just aren't cut out for EVE. |

Don't worry. Just send me the rest of your cash and I double it.
They say Alpha clones are only for trying stuff. I say it's just the Hard Mode.

Everyone should send this guy their armour plates.
Not out of benevolence, but because he might do this again!
Cheers for owning up to it, OP! |

I screwed up a decimal point on an order once and payed 80 million in brokerage fees for nothing. No, it wasn't nearly what you lost, but I only had like 85 mil to my name, so.... |

i bet you'll be checking them orders 4 times at least before you hit accept
on that note, had a mate buy 100 T2 webs costing him a little over 200 mil, he forgot he wasn't on sisi lol
he was a new guy and had about 300 mil to his name, the rage was real, the salt jars over flowed, well for at least 2 hours, then he calmed down and now,,,, he checks himself before he wreckts himself.

I recently bought a very nice shuttle
For 200 mill.
Was pissed about it and started scoping out the client for retribution but his bio was cheeky enough to make me chuckle dispite my anger something like
Nice shuttle? I'm glad you like it.

I did a similar thing when I was a noob back in 2004 I sent a petition and I was refunded. Give it a try and see how it goes buddy, I think it will be ok.

Thanks, everyone for your encouraging words.
The whole thing really was a good (and expensive) lessen for me.
I can explain how it happened. I had a buy order of about 1000 armor plates on the market. I had it at a price of 15950,01 per piece. Someone else raised the price to 15951,00 ISK. (+0,99) So I tried to raise my original price by 1,00. I marked the "0" in front of the comma and put in "1" instead of it. What I didn-¦t notice was, that I didnGÇÖt mark just the "0" but "0," instead. So, when I pressed the "1GÇ£, I deleted the "," and the price rose by 2 decimals.
Is there really a chance to petition it? It was my own stupid mistake, CCP did do nothing wrong.
I mean... I-¦d gladly take the ISK if CCP were to reimburse me... but there is no way that I can claim with good conscience that it is somehow someone elseGÇÖs fault.
I can-¦t even blame the two people who filled the buy order. All I can do is to appeal to their mercy and hope that they give me back a part of it... but that is up to them.
The one who got the 242 million already indicated that he will give me back 200 million. I haven-¦t heard from to other one.

Did you fall for an ISK-doubling scam in Jita? If not, pretty sure you're not in the 0.1%...
I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

also if you do petition, do not talk about the petition as it is against the EULA. just tell us if you can afford to stay as omega or if you have to downgrade to alpha. if its successful give us a wink and we will know what you're on about..

The trade window generates a warning message when the price you're trying to list an item for is well outside the regional average. NEVER IGNORE THIS MESSAGE. If you're selling an item, double-check that the warning states "above average": if it does, you're fine, if not, you're about to **** up and should stop what you're doing. Same principle for buy orders, but you should check that the message should say "below average", because if not, you're about to pay some serious premium for a few armor plates. |

For such small changes in the amount of isk, just scroll up, no chance of failing there. Scrolling up or down will adjust cents only, sometimes when I scroll too fast it immediately changes the amount by few Isk, so you are done in a second. |

This happens to almost every player at least once. I managed to screw up twice already.

It's often said that you need to have money in order to make money, but it's also true that you need to have money in order to lose money. Witness every new player who manages to buy a one billion isk Gecko or sells a PLEX for 1 isk. The same things that can be said about new players buying really expensive ships apply to new players carrying very fat wallets.
Fortunately EVE is one of the BEST teachers. Most lessons are short, to the point, and extremely memorable. |
