Rasz Lin Caldari Racketeers	Posted - 2010.09.15 01:27:00 - [31] Originally by: Vaerah Vahrokha Originally by: Rasz Lin LOLz Just saw today Perimeter->Jita contract that paid 500K, and had same sweet 80mil collateral. As soon as it got accepted I parked on peri gate with my popcorn and watched 5 random BR1CK ships (rohk, 2x tempest, thrasher and some other crap) with sentry drones popped for a while.. I dont think that scam worked tho, as the contract had 24h timer and im pretty sure they wont camp that gate whole day :). Even before the insurance changes you'd be hard pressed to see people bothering putting multiple battleships on the field for a paltry 80M. except it takes only 1 pest or 2 maybe 3 thrashers to kill a badger = instant >40mil payout

Lodjik	Posted - 2010.09.15 10:41:00 - [33] Originally by: Zombatar Originally by: Momus Maximus Hang in there. This game has a lot to offer if you stick with it. On that note, I'll give the OP 10 mil if he wont quit. 8 more people and hes collateral is covered. Anyone up to this challenge? Is there any altruism left in EvE? Lets see if we have 8 people willing to do this, OP will you accept this challenge? Will you stay if we raise 80 mil? Hello Sir. I'm the Nigerian Finance Minsiter. Recently it has come to pass that our Beloved King has died. I have manged to secure his finances, which is 100 million isk...

Londo Cebb	Posted - 2010.09.15 16:40:00 - [38] If you can't handle the responses in this thread, and are going to run away crying from some words, I seriously doubt that you will be able to handle the rest of the player base in game. But don't worry no one will miss you when you quite two months from now. P.S. I'm still not convinced this isn't a failed scam attempt. If it is, then I am very impressed at how you captured the RAGEing newby mindset, and your dedication to such a small scam is commendable.

Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2010.09.15 17:47:00 - [46] Originally by: Edge Horseman Seriously some of you need to grow up "ooooo look at me been playing for 25years and im a big man" Get over it...... If i could buy skill points for cash i would be ahead of half of you already You can. EULA-APPROVED methodology is... RL cash >---retailer---> GTC//PLEX >---forum/market---> ISK >---forum---> high-SP character ... there you go. Good luck with that "buy SP for cash" thing now, ya' hear ? Quote: Fact is i got isk ripped off by some idiot and theres hardly anything constructve comeing from anyone... You fell for one of the most transparent scams of all time, the "put up a large collateral courier to a player-owned station and hope some random newbie that knows nothing about DOCKING RIGHTS will take it, as opposed to somebody that can actually dock there". Identical-looking NON-SCAM courier contracts exist (where the goods inside the package are worth roughly as much as the collateral), and as long as you CAN complete the courier contract, you shouldn't even care what's inside... and if you CAN'T complete it, you shouldn't take it at all in the first place. The lesson you should have learned is don't pick up couriers to a 0.0 destination unless YOU KNOW FOR A FACT YOU CAN DOCK THERE. Instead, you chose to complain such couriers should not be allowed, when in fact, such couriers CAN be perfectly legitimate. Also, sorry, scamming in EVE is allowed, intentionally, so even if it is a scam (which in this particular situation is not necessarily the case) it's still no grounds for any action. Was it an expensive lesson ? Probably. But now you learned it. Move on. It won't be the last expensive lesson you'll learn in EVE if you don't pay close attention to everything you do. _ Beginner's ISK making guide \| Manufacturer's helper \| All about reacting _

Abdiel Kavash Caldari Paladin Order Fidelas Constans	Posted - 2010.09.16 06:03:00 - [49] Originally by: Akita T If I would put up such a legitimate contract, I would be ANNOYED that somebody who obviously can't complete it did take it (and failed it). QFT. Seriously. So hard to get stuff hauled to 0.0 because of all the noobs not realizing that I meant for some blue to pick it up on their way back from empire, and stealing all my stuff. I would even go as far as saying that these people are scamming us, honest players, of our war supplies. I started putting 200% - 300% collateral on my contracts. I feel slightly better. ___________ EVE is dying! Now for real!
Otto TheRed Gallente Scions of Ithaca	Posted - 2010.09.17 14:59:00 - [50] I'm a little surprised at the OPs complete meltdown 2/3 of the way through the thread. I actually thought the advice given in the first 10-15 posts was remarkably helpful for the Eve forums. He should try posting this in the C&P forum and see what sort of response he gets.

Emporer Norton	Posted - 2010.09.19 05:27:00 - [52] Or what about the contracts that I have never been lucky enough to get yet where you pay for a bpc but get a bpo
Michela Bosun Shipyards	Posted - 2010.09.19 06:26:00 - [53] The OP would do well to read Akita's rather nice response to his whining. The post spells out what haulers need to watch for. However, given the current attitude, I sincerely doubt if it will be taken constructively. Edge Horseman ... EVE is not a game where being nice is encoded in the rules of the game. Perhaps Hello Kitty Online will provide you with the safety you need. http://www.hellokittyonline.com
