Originally by: Altaireus things i want to see for escrow: ability to block users
I'd rather have the ability to block whole accounts. Since the EscrowList is generated server side then they could easily let us block a User(&Account) .. Then it doesnt matter how often he deletes and remakes his account.

Well after spending over an hour trying to find this post I eventually found it
[Braaage] I would like to know if CCP ever plan to revise Escrow and either split it up into sale types (ie BPCs, named items, etc etc) or do they ever plan on making it harder to scam people.
<Oveur> Yes, that would be the beloved Contract system, one of the lost Exodus features. <Oveur> That will take over the Escrow system and expand on ways to exchange items and do contracts between players and corporatios <Oveur> like support BYOM, you deliver minerals and components and then it releases the ship <Oveur> or simply put up a contract limited to corp and alliance members that gives you an covetor with some miners, and asks for the covetor, miners and 1 billion m3 of veldspar back <Oveur> and then releases a 10M ISK payout <Oveur> so we're really looking forward to getting the contract system in, it will revolutionize quite a bit player to player trades and internal corporation organization <Oveur> (hence this is tentatively scheduled to come before many of the other Exodus features) ___________________________________________ http://www.eve-tutor.com

If u get conned when it is THAT easy to check your item, well - you deserve it imo.
Someone must fall for those scams because scammers keep doing it. I think very few of us are so incredible stupid that they buy shuttle for 117M as Raven. I think main reason is that "inspect" and "claim" choises are way too close to each others and ppl are buying stuff by accident when trying to inspect them.
People make mistakes, especially when there are half-a-dozen escrows there with exactly the same name.
Of course, the reason there is escrow spam is the same reason there is email spam in RL - the cost of failure is so much smaller than the reward for success. It costs 850isk to place an escrow (if I remember rightly). Now, say you're doing the shuttle-as-a-raven scam. Your costs per escrow are 850+shuttle. 5k-10k is a fair price for an empire shuttle. Lets assume 10k as worst-case. So each escrow costs you 10,850 isk. If the scam succeeds, you get 117 million isk. Therefore, to break even, you need someone to fall for it once every 117M/10.85k = 10,783 times you try it. Given that every single escrow you put up is seen by muliple players, it's very likely you'll exceed such a low hit-rate.

Scammin is a very poor way to make isk!
but it will happen to stupid people or n00bs who know no better. Still the main problem is the spamming in escrow, that limits the amount of real items that can be viewed!!
scammers should be banned, give them 3 strikes and you are out principle.

Simply remove the "escrow can be picked up by anyone" feature. That just leaves the remote handing over stuff to a single player. And make an exception for BPC's , or modify the regular market (harder) to accept BPC's.

The scams are annoying. When ure hunting for a item and you have to wade through the scams to find your deal it gets a bit irritating.
One thing I'd like to see is the ability to claim from the inspect window. I see it, I like it, and I want it now :)
This could also be easily taken one set further where the claim on the right click is removed so you have to inspect before you claim. It would put a lot of scammers off and make our life easier. (we all inspect before we claim anyway, right?) Because sometimes you just have to go back to your roots: [2005.02.20 01:08:03] (combat) Your Civilian Light Electron Blaster perfectly strikes Serpentis Smuggler, wrecking for 20.3 damage. |
