just lookup marging trading scam all that kind of stuff

wherelse I hade a lot already, what do you think that tells us? hmmm...

If the bounty system had some means of tracking or displaying the reason for the bounty in such manner that when placing a bounty, a list of reasons becomes possible.

Pfft that's nothing.

ISK in a game where you can just more of it, breeds the arrogance seen around here with the Goons. Free 5 man accounts for those who kiss enough butt.

Risks vs Rewards need to feel the risk, not just have endless rewards because they can buy replacements.

Gatecampers doing illegal actions, get a posse together, round them up and put the sleeze bags in jail. Or better, public stocks, so we can throw space junk their way.

If the bounty system had some means of tracking or displaying the reason for the bounty in such manner that when placing a bounty, a list of reasons becomes possible. It would help actually because whenever you see people with a bounty we would wonder why, especially if it was a huge bounty, like "wow, what did that dude do?".

Was it for not honoring ransoms? Was it for gratuitous podding? Noob harvesting? Or was is market scamming? Perhaps it was for being too good at the market, or PVP? Maybe loot stealing or corp theft?

Presently anybody can put a bounty on anybody, but there's no way to track the reason for it. That reason can be important.

But that's a perfect example for something that's a valid game mechanic, margin trading is normal for honest traders.

What would work better is a kind of reputation tracking system similar to the way ebay does it.

I want a new game mechanic implemented however this may need to be discussed with a broader audience in GD first.
Its pretty simple, there should be a possibility to catch pods and bring them to an ingame Prison. Those Prisons should be Time Capsules where the catched player has to stay for some time. I would say 1 day up to 1 week


Edit: maybe they should still be able to do basic stuff like mining, lets say if they mine a certain amount for the guy who took them to prison, then they are free upfront

scamming with it is not honest

Dude, too much Ultima online?

various features could be implemented that catching other players do not get too easy. Maybe need of special modules, having at least 5-10 people involved in the capturing process, and a special prison fee

please add your ideas, this should bring consequences to the game for liars, traitors and scammers. I feel those are needed because they are missing at the moment!

Edit: the prison mechanic could also be implemented by a special voting system, maybe scammed people can go together and vote, however there would need to be a mechanic to identify scammed people, so you get a voting right comparable to killrights

Edit: maybe prison escape mechanics should be added as well, like people beeing able to free others from prison, maybe there also should be PvP player controlled prisons and PvE prisons controlled by the computer

was that in the game? if yes that would be awesome, who could know better whats needed then richard garriott himself

I know how the scams work, although I can think of several "scammers" that would disagree with how you think they work. I'll even give you a couple of names of "scammers" that undock, Miilla and Erotica 1, both of which I am sure would love you to try and gain some retribution.

Scams only work because the "mark" is too stupid or greedy to read properly.

I also have hatred towards people who are mor successful than my scrub as... Wait, no I don't!

So your saying that those two own all the other accounts that don't bother undocking and hide behind their anonymity. I also don't consider Erotica a scammer as he/she tells you exactly what to do.

Retribution isn't gained when they undock and then redock. As i tried your suggestion and it's still kind of hard to pew pew inside a station.

Sandbox is also player content. That means if they want prisons with public stocks for criminals, hey, it's a sandbox game...right???

What you're asking for amounts to a vote to suspend somebody's account, and CCP will never give players that power, ever. Scamming doesn't need consequences because being scammed is a consequence of being stupid. Hope this helps.

Yep, Ultima Online had perfect jail system :)

Also, most private servers had jails where it was possible to get out by chopping wood/mining etc :)

Im not sure is it legit to post such links here, but here it goes - http://runuo.theabyss.eu/?jail

Wow, you're even dumber than usual today.

No, you're wrong. Sandbox is player content.

What they are asking for is a CCP created solution to a "problem" that they just can't seem to get over.

They are asking for a developer solution to a player created problem.

If you want to "jail" them, fine, go do it yourself. But if you don't want to put any more work in than coming on the forums to whine, then no soup for you.

If you really think about it lowsex is sorta like a prison. Get to -5 or lower you sorta stay there and grind sec status back or pay concord their bribe in tags/fee's to "get out of prison".

The difference is that that was directly executed by GMs, not through player votes or whatever.

True:)

Player voting is a bad idea...
For example If I have 10-20 alts, I can Just throw 20 votes against someone, and no one will ever know :D That they belong to me :D

omg, are you unable to read? I do not want to give the player access to suspend the account, whats up with you? read the thread dude, we want consequences for scammers, are you a baby? no consequences for nothing you do?

putting someone in "prison" for the week is just suspending their account with a bit of embellishment
