Edited by: Cypress Cavalero on 04/05/2009 01:13:43 I dont know about you lot but when was the last time we saw a decent scam attempt in jita?
Nowadays all we see are copy pasted finsihed contract attemps in jita, presumably spammed by a macro bot or someone who has waay too much time on there hands to sit and press ctrl c all day into local.
Now eveyone is going to say " scamming is a part of the game" and i do agree, however spamming complete garabage 24/7 into jita local the games most popular system just starts to ruin the image of the game that little bit and makes me feel like the average player age has dropped considerably.
I would like to see more istvaan shogatsu incidents instead of invuln fields priced at 999milion isk but are those days gone??

Edited by: Misanth on 04/05/2009 01:14:45 Someone scammed the OP out of the contents (well, now we'll never know..) of his post.
Edit; doh. Just seconds later it was edited and filled up. I'm getting slow. - I'd tell you why but then I'll have to kill you. And to kill you I'd have to log in. And to log in I'd have to stop browsing these forums. Both you and me knows that'll never happen. |

I would guess not in a VERY long time. The good scamming in Jita is not done in local.

Then you are looking in the wrong place. Seriously, you are NEVER going to see a scam of that magnitude in Jita local. You MAY see people talking about it long after the fact in Jita local, but probably not.
Edit: Oops, messed up my quotes..

Good point, i guess what im getting at is would be nice to see a real heist pulled off and posted in here (and be actually able to sell things inside a market hub:) Would a trafic managment or even a local moderator work in this situation cos i think everyone in game will agree that that local is now completely unmanegable due to sheer amounts of "scams" and the inevitable anti-spam kids who then just go and fill the local with garbage?

Leave Jita? I mean Local is just about every other hub is fine.. Local in just about every other non-hub system is dead...

Edited by: Cypress Cavalero on 04/05/2009 01:32:46 NOOO i dont want to leave! lol
But i mean everyone has to go there at some point to cart stuff out and sell (sec stats allowing of course) and contracts from rens oura and Amarr just dont sell as well.
I mean you are right it is only one system in game but it is pretty much THE shoppin mall of eve and has by far the most traffic of any system.
It is just irritating but bareable i suppose. (bearable? WTB spellcheck)
*edit in response alt posting ftl i agree however "the internet" seem to have made it fashionable;)

Hmm this just made me realize. The spam could indeed kill the scams. You need a certain level of legitimacy and the boughts are killing that in the local channels. Hmm good Boughtz????

Edit: Ooops.. Forgot to add content..
The problem with posting scams in to C&P is 2 fold.. Firstly you can only do it with either an alt (and we all love to see alt posts!) or the main that did the scam.. Posting with the main means yo pretty much have to scrub them and sell them as your never going to be employed again.
GHSC and some others can get away with posting about their scams as they do them on alts and post with their main who is in a corp that has the reputation of scamming, so they are believed. Just about everyone else is fighting an uphill battle if they post with an alt.
Lana is rite :)

Requesting information on Istvaan Shogatsu - I am still a bit new so I don't know about the player history of EVE and would like to learn about it.

Google.
All I got was a lot of redirects to the destruction of BOB... and none of the articles say 'Istvaan Shogatsu'.

I understand what the OP is getting at.
I must concur that scammers nowadays are just not putting forth the effort they once used to. Now it's just FotM scams that everyone spams with an alt.
There's no originality anymore. No real attempt at deception. No more spending hours sweet talking some player out of their isk.
Now it's just macro spam spam spam with a two day old alt. ______________ Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. |

I added the missing bits. Just because you cant see it happening doesn't mean it isn't. I'm not about to jump on to C&P to post my latest and greatest scam and have everyone else and their dog try it out, and I don't expect anyone else to.
