Dude, not cool.
Really REALLY not cool indeed.
On a sidenotte i assume we will get a rectification on the login screen saying the news was brought out badly with dubiuous quotes and that the person who set up the bank is trying to throw away his characters?I mean for sure right ....

Not going to happen. In the past, they have silently modified original articles *or* they have published follow-up pieces trying to address forum moaners.
I believe they are also monitoring the forum, and the most we can expect is someone of them posting some explanation inside the thread should it become threadnought.
And this is why i never read the news article when logging in.CAOD is more trustworthy wich says a LOT.

Originally by: Ubi Dellmar I started an account with The Bank Of Eve.
After two days, my webside login still doesn't work and getting ahold of someone in game hasn't panned out...
So... Great idea folks.
But the customer service SUCKS!
Not that I'll be out a stellar fortune if this is a scam, but I'd like to see a working banking industry in EVE. Just not sure if this is going to be the one that makes it happen.
May i ask how you got to know the bank existed?

Originally by: cuoredipietra famedoro We cannot blame reporters for not knowing how banking work, unless of course they are expert MD members, which seems not be the case.
If you don't know wtf you are writing about then just DON'T write about the subject or get someone in who does have any comprehension.This was not newsworthy and if it turns out he scammed the only thing that is newsworthy about it is the coverage about it.
Originally by: Julius Rigel So the deposit I made is finally on my balance sheet, but the interest for the past three days is nowhere to be found...
According to their info page on their forums :'Because of the heavy increase in membership requests we have initiated a temporary policy of compounding interest rates at the end of the month instead of daily to lessen the work load we're currently experiencing'.
Ow boy ....

Originally by: cosmoray I am becoming appreciative of this scam as time goes by.
Although ISD does not endorse what they write, by placing on the logon screen it psychologically implies that it is endorsed by CCP/ISD. By quoting Chribba that is the cherry on the cake.
The real work of genius is to get ISD to report this story. If it had remained solely an MD launch it would have got the death it deserves, but the ISD report is a fantastic manipulation. ISD interviewed one of the perps on July 28th, which is well before the official launch although there may have been a heads up MD thread (can't remember). I wonder who's idea it was to get Chribba input? The bank or ISD?
This is a great social manipulation, and ISD fell for it. Guerilla marketing at its finest.
I think you're really giving him more credit then he deserves.Looks more like he had a scam idea and met the right guy at the right place who made the right article for him.Who knows he might just be spamming jita local about having a bank running and linking his own webpage and the newsguy just happends to be in jita seeing it and openeing up a convo with him after wich he gives the usuall jita scammer smoothtalk.

Originally by: ISD Serathu Ashk
We've done what any news organisation would do regarding a new venture of interest its readers (which evidently this is) - report on it, put it in context and provide contrast.
That is just what everyone is trying to point out.It was NOT a venture of interest and not news worthy.That is the key-chokepoint.The guy made a scamsite just like it happends all the time.Riethe and others have used that way of scamming a ****load of times.It was NOT news , however now it is.So good luck on covering that in the new news article wich i am sure will follow now.
