A consistent number/value display is definitely a feature that will help just about everyone. And why they don't just write the decimals all the time is beyond me.
Imho, the same could be said when entering values on the market's Sell screen and Send Money, the screen should expand the value to the full format with thousand separators and decimals. Having the value written out is less of an issue to me.

Allways displaying the amount in millions/billions to 2 decimal places would be enough to stop this kinda nonsense me thinks
so 1,989,999,999 will display 1.99 Billion so 1,999,999,999 will display 2 Billion Etc.

part of the reason this scam took off was due to it getting posted on scrapheap imo

Originally by: Verys The problem is not in the scam itself , i'm totally fine with scamming, but the problem that every single person in jita is trying it. There are like 20 people or so trying to do it and all but 1-2 never get any contracts through. It's more an annoyance as they all scam every 1-2 seconds (most of them are under my block list fortunately) but they keep popping up everyday because they think this time that player who blocked me suffered such a iq decrease by drinking so much alcohol that he will fall for it this time around.
To the scammers I request of them to be more original and don't just follow the fotm scam.
To OP sure why not this "new" scam has had so many followers that it inst funny any more and I see no harm of putting the number in exact words.
I think the exact words thing would be a good, low budget fix to help mitigate the scamming.
However, this is popular because it works: it will become less popular as more people learn of it, and fewer fall for it. A post on C&P claimed a guy had made over 10B in a couple weeks doing that: I don't know about you, but that blows my mission running income out of the water. Why WOULDN'T you do it?
One solution currently in the works in MD is the creation of player made trade channels, such as the SCC lounge. This forces players to actively app an admin to join the channel, and gives the player community the power to enforce a no-spamming rule, with minimal risk of a player block grief voting folks out of the channel. The more we look to player moderated channels, and away from system (non-moderated) channels for interesting trade opportunities, the sooner we can just ignore the noise created by these spambots.
But, thumbs up for words on the contract - it's how we do checks, and really any large sum of money, in the real world.

Based on the fact that not displaying two decimal places in contracts is a oddity compared to the rest of the eve ui, I support this.

Although I'd like to see the issue of spamming getting addressed over the scamming issue, in this case it appears to be one and the same lately. This should slow down at least the 999 scam, although it wouldn't adress mineral contract scams. Thumbs up at any rate, a written amount, however it is determined, would make a bit of sense to my red weary eyes.

1. Yes they are sooo annoying. 2. The fix is simple but doesnt really cause trouble. Simply spell it out kind of deal.

Edited by: Incantare on 03/05/2009 10:11:46 Stop the spam. It's everywhere, it's annoying and it's always the same thing. Fixing the decimal display will make local readable again outside trade hubs.

Edited by: Doctor Penguin on 03/05/2009 21:57:59 I spotted a new variant of this scam today (in Rens, albeit the spam was nowhere near as bad as Jita spam). The difference was that a contract now reads "800,000,001.00"...
I've added an amendment to the proposals to compensate, although this certainly makes suggestion 1) more valid. ________________________________________________

AGREE... 100%
def need to stop the 999 scamming. i use the contracts on a daily basis. and hunting down n keeping and eye out for scammers who want my iskies. isnt a past time.. i enjoy..
the ISK.. on the contracts need to be displayed by EVE. and not the user's no option shud be given to show or not show decimals. everything shud be shown. in full currency. or as suggested in wordings...
no short cuts.!!

Not one to fall for scams like this, or waste time using them (i'd just sell a time code), what irritates me is that it reduces the usefulness of the mechanic, watching contracts in local while shopping in Jita.
Displaying the price in text in the contract is a good idea, also contract links in local could include the contract price largest denomination. "(999M) Some Contract, only 1 million!" rather than "Some Contract, only 1 mil!".

Agreed. It's not the scam that's annoying, it's the channel spam and reduced signal/noise ratio when looking through contracts. Spam is bad no matter what form it takes or what communication channel it infests.

I agree, having it round to the nearest thousand, million, or billion, depending on which is most appropriate.
Almost 150 million. Over 150 million.
A lot easier to read then 149999999. I mean, heck, I even had to put comma's in to make sure I was typing the right number of 9's in there.... ~Dragon |
