darmwand Repo. 159	Posted - 2013.07.12 12:36:00 - [1] - Quote Harry Forever wrote: again, you also prevent me from playing when i get shot down and sit in a capsule Not really. You just go back to your station, grab another ship and keep playing. Locking somebody out of the game for several days is something else entirely. Plus, while I'd love to imprison each and every last stabbed FW plex farmer, this mechanic would simply be abused to imprison anyone you don't like - the AI can't tell whether you just got scammed or not. darmwand Repossession Agent http://www.repo-corp.net/ Recruitment is OPEN
darmwand Repo. 159	Posted - 2013.07.12 13:00:00 - [2] - Quote Harry Forever wrote: I think about it for obious scam mechanics nown in the game, if somebody uses those then the opposite party gets a voting right against that player like a killright you receive when shotdown in nullsec But that's the problem - even the obvious scam mechanics aren't necessarily obvious to the computer. Maybe somebody just doesn't have the ISK to cover the buy order (margin trading scam), was aware that he was paying too much for a ship in a trade window or was rejected from a corp after paying a recruitment fee for a good reason. Otherwise I could just send you a few million ISK, claim you scammed me by not doubling it and get an angry mob to imprison you. I agree that there should be an option to take revenge whenever you feel "wronged", but I assume you also agree that one man's need for revenge shouldn't enable the whole world to harass innocent bystanders. Probably the best way to fight scammers is to teach new players about the scams. When I joined my first player corp they frequently told all new arrivals about different types of scams and how to avoid them. Maybe you could spend your time & energy on something like that instead? Once people stop falling for scams the scammers will disappear. darmwand Repossession Agent http://www.repo-corp.net/ Recruitment is OPEN

It's EVE, there are always ways to get revenge. You shoot them. Indeed that's what I usually do. Plus I don't think I've ever been scammed and I'm not asking for new mechanics here, I'm perfectly happy with the ability to stick a bunch of Blasters up their exhaust pipe. All I'm saying is that I understand the OP's frustration with people hiding in stations and NPC corps - changing any of that would probably break the game for lots of people though. darmwand Repossession Agent http://www.repo-corp.net/ Recruitment is OPEN

Plus of course the constant threat of getting scammed keeps ones brain awake darmwand Repossession Agent http://www.repo-corp.net/ Recruitment is OPEN

This is because I have the ability to accept my own mistakes, and learn from them, like an adult. A child, on the other hand, cries when things don't go their way. Here's your checklist: First of all, don't get scammed. It's absurdly easy. (if anything, buff scamming) Secondly, deal with it. Deal with being ganked, bumped, scammed, or any of this other crap that all the hurt feelings brigade want to call "griefing". Thirdly, correct any behavior that led to you being a target, and move on. But the refusal to learn from mistakes? No, I do not understand that. Okay, I think I picked the wrong word there: when I say "understand" I don't mean "share". However I accept that some people get upset when they lose in games and have an urge to seek revenge. Personally I'm the "ah, interesting, lesson learnt, won't do that again" type but then I don't live in high-sec, people there have a reputation for being a bit thin-skinned darmwand Repossession Agent http://www.repo-corp.net/ Recruitment is OPEN

Now that would be nice indeed and a very "EVE-ish" way to enable players to reduce the risk of being scammed - not by preventing scams but by giving the players more information on their business partners. darmwand Repossession Agent http://www.repo-corp.net/ Recruitment is OPEN
