Then, through my own naivety and greed, I fall for the Margin Trading Scam...
What little I'd accumulated, all gone. Cleaned out.
Yeah, yeah boo-frikity-hoo, I got what I deserved, right?
Then again... was I wrong to believe that a buy order on the independently administered market place would have
enough ISK to cover it? It was nativity and greed. Scams are a part of the game and you need to accept that fact. This scam and the skill should not be changed for one simple reason. You need to buy the over priced item first, before even attempting to sell it. The fact that you didn't do your home work and took the buy order as a legitimate price check, was not the fault of the skill. It was your fault. If you want to speculate in the market, you need a certain amount of knowledge. If you go ahead and make an investment without researching for information first, then you only have yourself to blame. TL:DR. Don't blame this skill, for your poor judgement and investments.
It's lack of game play information provided by CCP.
How games do you play, where a lot of very important information, like margin scamming, trade scamming, Ganking, griefing, using Jita lag to scam in direct trades, is not provided for in tutorials?
CCP, needs to provide a detailed breakdown of how the game works, and what type of people you are likely to encounter, explain trade scams, ganking, griefing, pirating, and how the police only come to clean up the mess, they won't save you... (Mirrors real life in that regard)
Then new players will have no excuse not understanding the mechanics, but then, so many griefers would be angry if new players understood what was going on.
Really all they are doing is exploiting CCP's failure to provide a real overview of how the game works....
