Edited by: Viceroy on 14/11/2004 08:51:13 Haha. Not signed. In fact I'm going to start my own petition to make scamming easier out of spite for people who think they can sexually violate the game into a 100% safe mining sim/chat client to compensate for their own stupidity. kthxbye.
Quote: Please post a "signed" message to sign the petition and not post anything else in the topic, this is only a petiton,thanks.
What the hell does that mean anyway? "Hi I'd like to propose a stupid idea but i dont want any criticism so either agree with me or dont wake up the people who do agree"
Yeah that warning worked like a charm. -

Yeah never get why people try, it's a forum, place of discussion, not a good place to have a poll with only 1 possible answer.

*sigh*
I don't know how often CCP has said that scamming IS and WILL CONTINUE to be a part of the EVE universe, so sorry this "petition" of yours is pointless.
Sure scamming is way too easy right now, but it's also really easy to spot.
What EVE needs is a sort of contract system, you know official docs and stuff, might even spice up the trade. Who knows what Shiva will bring though, like Wrangler said the black market system is supposed to change something 
"No, I'm not alt.....even if I have been in Pator Tech School for 2 years..." |

Edited by: Aaron Rex on 14/11/2004 14:08:55 I played for over a year before being scammed, but it finaly happened and I'm now a proud owner of a 10mill shuttle. This happened cos at the time I was very tired, in a hurry and not paying attention. My fault pure and simple. Sure I was a bit angry at first, not at the scammer, but at myself, though not for long. In fact, when I found out that the seller used his main (pirate) character in sted of an alt the little anger I had for him dissapeared.
Scamming (and being scammed) is part of Eve. Just like gate camping is. The more you remove it the less of a "surprise factor" you have in the game and the blander it gets. Now I can buy stuff off the market without having to pay attention since if I attempt to buy something at inflated prices I get a warning box. I can also jump through 0.4-0.1 systems hardly without worry since gate camping there is all but gone. It makes Eve a tad less interesting.
On a final note, how would you discriminate agains scams and rippoffs? For example with shuttles: Is a 20k shuttle a scam or someone trying to make an increased profit? What about 50k? 100k? 1mill? Where do you draw the line?

Read what you are buying. If it is too good to be true it probably is. Even if it seems normal read what you are buying. I have sold shuttles for 5 million I hold the isk for one month then give the isk back. It's hilarious you should try it.
