As a number of you have mentioned, trust is the key issue and how can anyone believe that I am not a scam artist?
The only way I believe I can become a trusted third party is to actually broker deals. My intention is to look for a handful of sellers who are willing to take a risk on me and in return I would not charge a fee, provided they agree to give a reference. Stating that my intentions here are honest may well be futile but I hope i can reward the trust someone might place in me.
If anyone is interested, please feel free to contact me.
I welcome your comments and feedback.
Kind regards,
Saeg
People think you are a scammer because you play eve, and under the right circumstances, everyone is a scammer (I don't even consider Chribba an exception to this, I think if given the right motivation, he too would scam someone. I doubt that motivation exists in eve currently, and I think he is by far the most trustworthy person in the game, but it is still possible).
Other considerations: Your entire forum posting history is this one thread. Your character, for the sake of this forum, doesn't exist except here where you are trying to convince people to let you hold large amounts of money. Can't really correct this now, but post all your alts too, if you want trust. I find it hard to believe a pilot that has been around since 2009 has never asked one question on a subforum, or sold/wtb something either. Possible, but as I said, doesn't make you trustworthy.
One of your bits of proof is your alliance's entry requirements. So basically, we have to trust your corp's opinions that you are an upstanding citizen. Not likely to fly, especially without any testimonials.
I think this character has a low chance of becoming a trusted 3rd party, so you might want to try again with someone with some forum history. Most 3rd parties get started with their friends and corpies having them do trades for them, and the trust builds from there. Nobody from Yulai has popped up to say "hey, this guy is awesome, he helped me trade a mom, real awesome". In fact, the only way I would user you to facilitate a trade is if I had full collateral from you sitting in my hangar while we did it, and even then, that wouldn't lead to a good recommendation.
Trust is the most valuable commodity in Eve. |
