If anyone thought RMTers or their clients would be lying low, no such luck.
NoahPegram (1-day alt) has bought 40bn worth of junk in the last few hours. Screenshot shows a list of his recent customers. If you know these people, let them know their isk's gonna disappear soon.

Edited by: Nadarius Chrome on 17/03/2011 10:46:44 What would you have me do? Hack their account? Trace their IP? Hunt them down and maim their family? This isn't a movie, there's jack sh** any player can do beyond this. That's why we need CCP to actually take some action instead of sanctioning it with their inactivity. |

How did you find this, by the way?
I was looking at recently listed contracts and found the one selling a rifter for 2.4bn. Since I was in Jita I figured the guy would spam it in some way as a contract but it never was. Then it was sold shortly afterwards to a sub 1-day character which just stank to high heaven. Looking at that character's contracts history made it pretty obvious what was happening.
It looks like they tell their customers to list any item at the price of however much ISK they've bought (and most seem to list it with their name as the description) which is shortly afterwards accepted by a brand new mule character. I wouldn't be surprised if that character is biomassed as soon as possible after a series of transactions to make tracking things just that little bit harder. |

Looks like there's another deal going down.

Prove me wrong Joker2309. Explain that contract. Bet it'll be accepted by some 1-day char shortly.

Edited by: Nadarius Chrome on 19/03/2011 00:07:46 Nice try at godwinning the thread, but if you really want to compare you could call me a concerned citizen sick of the authorities' inaction.
People like you and whitehound are obviously of the opinion that there is no problem. People like me (oh, and 90% of the rest of the people in this and other threads) think there is.
You have a problem with me stating my opinion? Perhaps it is you who need to be compared to the SS. 
Edit to add: My petitions carry absolutely 0 weight as proof with CCP, as it should be. I'm merely alerting them to the fact that I personally think that there is an issue with a particular transaction. Much like the evebank list, I do not expect nor want CCP to take that as any kind of proof of nefarious activity. I merely want them to use their own tools, eyes, and perhaps even brain to determine innocence or guilt, entirely with their own data. All I'm doing is trying to get them to take a closer look at the people I'm petitioning.
I guess you're one of those people who looks the other way when you see a car being broken into. Or who ignores the screams of someone being assaulted. "Can't get involved, I'm not the piloce...". |

I'm sure I could argue with you for days or weeks, but my time is worth more to me than that. You're wrong. Everyone else is right.
If CCP actually investigated and did something once in a while this issue would never have arisen. Instead, people are frustrated because other people who are cheating the system are (or appear to be) getting away with it unpunished. |

Funny thing about this; I thought calling ppl out on the forums was a no-no
That would be funny. Ban me for that and let RMT'ers run wild. |

Edited by: Nadarius Chrome on 19/03/2011 06:57:28 Check out *****2's (where the stars obscure the common word for a female of negotiable affection) history of managing to sell overpriced shuttles.
200m for one (sold in 36 minutes) on 16/2/2011 1bn for one (sold in 33 minutes) on 20/2/2011 500m for one (sold in 24 minutes) on 1/3/2011 And one listed right now for 1bn. Bet a new char buys it any minute now.
This is obviously someone's alt. Only other contracts it has are couriers from around the place to Villore, obviously where his main lives. Time to biomass that one whoever owns it. |

Originally by: Sullen Skoung isnt it also a actionable offense on the forums to call people out in the game? Is it me or do the mods go home on the weekends
CCP is studiously avoiding this thread and will just lock it once it has descended far enough into insults and namecalling.
I'll just restate: We're not asking CCP to ban people based purely on the stuff players dig up. We're simply saying "Here, this looks suspicious. Plese investigate."
It appears some people have a problem with that. Why, I wouldn't know. What would be a good reason to not want CCP to look into RMT? |

MAKE A PETITION, the forums are not the place to report suspicious behavior.
Right. And you think I haven't? Oh wait, you know I have as I've mentioned that previously. As other people have said, nothing has been done. 4 days so far on my petition, still "open", no response from CCP. None expected, but hey, at least I'm following the process.
CCPs record on acting on exploits has been abysmal. There's no other word for it. Only when people get loud about it does anything get done. T20. POS bowling. Monkeysphere. Moongoo duping. If petitioning did anything then this whole thread would never have existed.

Yes, some people are having a problem with you being to dim to understand the correct use of petitions and the forums. No one is trying to stop CCP from doing anything, except maybe you. If you would petition the problem and not using it for attention whoring on the forums, maybe something would be done about it.
Forums are for discussion. Is that not what we're doing? If the forums weren't for discussion of this topic, surely it would have gotten locked by now? Maybe you're the one who doesn't understand the correct use of petitions and the forums.
And what exactly am I trying to stop CCP from doing?
I'm having a hard time imagining anyone could be as dim as you, so the only conclusion is that you're just trolling and/or flamebaiting. |

And just to frustrate Dex even more, check out the contract history of "blackferret". Looks like ISK sellers now accept courier contracts with huge collateral and are failing them intentionally. EG a courier contract with 2bn collateral and 1000 ISK reward.

I find it funny that one of his contracts was picked up and completed by a legit player before the RMT'er could get to it. Someone must have been travelling that way anyway 'cos it sure wasn't for the generous pay.  |

Originally by: CCP Adida Removed a post that directly linked a character. If you wish to report someone please submit a petition.
Or, just send it into [email protected] and EN24 will follow-up on it and CCP can read about it a week or two later in another article about how corrupt and broken their game is.
Eh, the things I've dug up are nothing that anyone with 2 minutes couldn't find.
Funny thing is, a buyer will usually have contracts from several different sellers in their history. A seller, contracts from multiple buyers. It's so easy to unravel a huge swath of both sides of RMT transactions with a few minutes digging that the mere fact that they haven't been dealt with means CCP really doesn't look to be doing anything.
But GM Horse told me to keep reporting 'em so I will. |

Good start. Tokens have been requested in the past, good to see it being done. Please find a way to ship them to other countries without charging as much as Celestis does to take your ashes into space.
Background bot detection: Do you mean there was no automatic flagging of any kind previously? Holy crap. No wonder the place is overrun.
Please make sure you punish people who abuse the "report bot" feature, like you do with the "report ISK spammer" feature. And don't let it be acted upon automatically. I'd hate to see alliances using it in concert to bump hostile titan/supercarrier/FC pilots off the server even temporarily.
We'll be watching for effects. Make it grandiose! I want to see a significant dent in these scumbags warping and polluting the game.

Well hopefully player petitions and automatic analysis will combine to give a solid "This account needs looking at" indicator so that the actual investigating that needs to be done by staff is reduced.
EG If a character is reported by a player but not flagged by any automatic system, it'd be given a low investigative priority. |
