I'm just trying my best to play this game my way and yet everywhere I go I am insulted for simply trying to make some ISK and have some fun. If it's not someone nasty calling me an idiot or worse it's a a feverish "OMG SCAM!!" from someone who can only be described as Sherlock Columbo for their stunning detective genius. Why do people feel the need to act like this? I have feelings too ya know and they get very hurt despite the mountains of tear stained isk I rake in.
I don't get why everyone is being so mean to me, why can't they either fall for my scams, have a laugh with me or just put me on block?

Most people don't mind scams, but rather the SPAM of scams. Also, it has come to my attention that I'm really in need of a proper signature. |

It would fix nothing. Scam Spammers will just set their macros to write in local 2 times per minute : "Numerous interresting contracts in my bio ! Ex : Invuln at 150K ! Just check them !"...

It's because you lack imagination with your scamming.
Try something other than spamming local with fail 999,999,991 contracts.

OP : I am just doing my job, why do people hate me ? X : so what exactly is your job ? OP : Well... see... my job is to kick people in the nuts. X : Your _job_ is to kick people in the nuts ? OP : Yeah, sure, I get paid to kick people in the nuts. They pay me from their own wallet as soon as I kick them in the nuts, but the next time I see them, they're all be hatin' ! I have no idea why ! X : Might I suggest it's because people don't like being kicked in the nuts ? OP : Don't be ridiculous, why would they pay me then ? And heck, even if it's a back alley or some street corner at night, they pay me... they even seem to pay me more like that. But I just don't get it, if they pay me so much and so fast... X : Yeah, whatever... *kicks OP in the nuts* OP : Why did you do that ?!? Ow, that _hurts_ X : Cash, please...

Welcome to EVE.
Every profession is hated by someone else. Specially when you are good at it.
- Good pirates are hated because they blow up your ship and then pod you so you get in a 20jumps distance station and need to buy again all your stuff
- Good industrialists are hated because they popped "your" rocks and manufacture cheaper than you do
- Good traders are hated because they crash your markets or undercut your orders so you lose a big amount of money and time
- Good scammers are hated because they take "your noob" isk so amazingly suddenly fast and theres no way he will click on your own scam cause he already picked someone's else!!
Notice how can you replace the term "good" for this other one "no-life". In other words sometimes 23/7 players are not good, but just because they havent got a life, they are ON all the time and they can beat you.
- No-life pirates are hated because surprisingly they camped this station for the whole day and they popped your badger after 9 hours you saw them last time
- No-life industrialists (or macros) are hated cause they unfairly strip all the belts while you need to be at work
- No-life traders are hated cause they undercut some seconds after you set a new order, and you cant follow them cause you are meeting your real life friends
- No-life scammers are hated cause they monopolize the main hub local channel while you can only advertise your scams for 1 hour a day so they got 23x time more possibilities of success.

As I said before, I don't spam any contracts in local as I don't like contract scamming. I scam the way I find to be most fun, which is a completely different method. Yes I have fun scamming people, just as I might have fun trading or mining but no one gives me any grief over that. For me to make a profit doing either of those professions surely someone else has to lose out? Is it because I make people cry that they gave me their precious isks? I find that even more fun, why should I be made a target for simply playing the game and having a good time? By the way I'm not trolling, and if I am it certainly has not failed.

Did you hear that Forum mods have the ability to look at all characters on an account, to prevent naughty Bumping and Bidding in the sales Forums?
You might as well have just posted with your Main, becuase its corp will probably get a Wardec from mercenarys now

Hooray you. Now add a couple more zeroes to that number and I _MIGHT_ consider starting to hate you, but only if you also spend less than an hour logged in on average per day.

Why would I want you to hate me but ok if you insist. 00550M Happy?
PS. Who cares? Well you cared enough to post in this topic so I guess you do. I just want to know why scamming is hated so much when it's just as much a legitimate profession as any other and why people feel the need to tell me to die for playing a videogame.

are you seriously suggesting the forum mods would use their positions within the CCP network to find and eliminate a small-time scammer? You do realize if they did such a thing they'd get the shaft faster then Chribba on mindflood

See the things I have to contend with? It's sickening how people behave towards scammers.

No, certainly not. CCP employees have never manipulated the actions of corps or alliances ingame.
oh btw, did you know its possible to communicate with people in chat channels other than the ones ingame, and you dont even have to use your characters name?

EVE is a game. Many people forget this, but the reason is understandable. Every player in EVE, no matter what they do, puts in effort to get results.
From your point of view you put in effort to scam from other players. MOST other players put in effort in missions, industry, Invention and Piracy to get their gains.
Im not saying what is right or wrong, but the preceved underhanded nature of the way you play this game is what people object to. If they were scammed on a street corner by a card shark they would feel the same thing. Thats where the line blurs for a lot of players. Yes its a game, but they put effort in to getting that money, so its a personal affront to have it scammed away from them.
Why did it happen? It simple really. They didnt look at what was happening, but its far easier to blame the scammer and rage about it.
If you cant understand that, you'll never understand why EVE can be an emotional place for some.
