I'm good at it and it's lucrative.
Sorry.
I don't want to sit for hours mining. That's boring.
I don't want to run missions. Shooting at reds crosses sucks.
I don't want to manufacture. It's a PITA. Seriously. You spend all of your time making crap and at the end of the day, traders make the most money off of the **** that YOU built....Plus profit margin sucks anyway.
I don't want to trade. Playing Plus-A-Penny all day isn't my style.
Scamming is all I have. It's fun. My heart skips a beat when I see that wallet flash or that contract pop up.
Take away scamming and I'm gone (and I know plenty others who feel the same). ISK is essential in this game, and most ways to obtain it make you want to lick windows, as it's probably more enjoyable. Scamming is the only profession that doesn't feel like a friggin JOB. I work all day, I don't want drudge work in my hobbies. |

I'm just informing CCP of this minority, if they were unaware or possibly thinking of doing away with scamming in order to soften it up for other players. Scamming is a legitimate profession and should be maintained as such.
...excuse me, I see a victim... |

Keep up the good work (just hope I dont fall for one of your scams) :)

The game is to be sold, not told baby.
You want tips, you have to pay.
Sorry, wanted to make an attempt to be cool.
Scamming is very lucrative. Had a 10 bill scam a few days ago.
Most I've earned?
Won't share that :p |

Why not get rid of Pirates then?
What about Podding?
What about undercutting?
Hell, why not just remove PVP altogether, killing people is "wrong", right?
Dude scams are 100% avoidable if people just use their friggin heads.
"Send me 100 Mill and I'll Send you 300 mill".... really dude??? If you fall for that you deserve it. Bottom line man, cmon. |

Well, you have every right to try to scam as many people as possible just like I have every right to call any scammer out when I see them working, and...... I almost always do, not only that, when I do I explain what the scam is and how it works. An educated public is a happy public. Merry Christmas. o/ Santa PS. not on this toon, I'm not an idiot MOST of the time. :)
Cool story but....I don't spam Jita.
It's lame and ineffective. |

So you don't like combat, or trading, or creating, just tricking people. Which is cool I guess. Except this game kind of revolves spending isk. Not that I'm against people scamming, play how you like.. but it does bring in to question .. to what purpose? I understand if you fly ships you cant afford scamming can close that gap. But so far all you've listed is that you like to stay docked and spam local and nothing else. Say you have 3 trillion isk doing nothing but plying your "deals". Now what? work on a 4th? a 5th? What's the progression if you have no goal?
I like combat, just not PVE crap. I like PVP.
Plus hoarding wealth is a hobby. Collecting money is no diff than collecting stamps or w/e.
Granted I'm new to EVE (2 months) but I found my niche. I'm good at scamming. I enjoy it. It's a rush.
The worst part is finding victims, and even that's not too bad.

You seem to be angry. How much did you lose?
