You can already put a bounty on anyone - put enough on them and they become worth ganking even in high-sec with CONCORD response.

You can also gank them yourself - and view the ship you will lose if you do it in high-sec as the fee you pay to express your opinion on their business dealings.

The fundamental problem is that there is no way for CONCORD to identify a 'real scam' vs. a 'crappy but legit deal' vs. a 'guy falsely claiming scam to grief someone'. So really what this would be if implemented is a way to place bounty on someone that causes the NPCs to also attack them. And that seems gamebreaking to me.

Obviously none of this matters if the scammers stay in station. Which they can easily do, and conduct all their legit business and flying-around business on an alt.

You can already do this by using the bounty system and pay concord so they close their eyes or look on the other side when the one claiming the bounty puts the misery on them.

The main issue you have, which is not a small one in this game is those characters mostly are 50K sp characters or slightly more, often bots, and NEVER undock.

But as you see it's another issue.

I wish I could report your posting to Concord.

How about you not fall for scams?

How much did you lose?
All I'm seeing is an unhappy scam victim, who can't take responsibility for being greedy.

Also Features and Ideas would be a better place to have posted, you tend to get a better class of ridicule in there.

Nope, you're kind of jumping to conclusions there. CCP implicitly allow scamming, it's up to us, the players, to provide the consequences. It's also up to us, the players, to take responsibility for their own ignorance and greed. If you'd read one of my previous posts you would see that I have been the victim of a scam to the tune of the best part of a billion isk. Do you know what I did about it? I congratulated the scammer and then asked how he'd done it, I learnt a valuable lesson in how the market works in the process.

Wardecs.

Bounties.

Ganking them yourself.

Hiring merc corps.

Not CCPs and their stick is the only one that counts.

Firstly it's not a faucet, scamming generates no new isk, it's just a transfer of funds. Secondly the tools are already there, you just refuse to see or use them inventively.

Now tell us again why a scammer should be punished for taking advantage of another players greed and ignorance, by using the existing mechanics and tools in an inventive manner?

And those rules are made and enforced by people using force or the threat of force. Not by magical space pixies shooting nukes.

You are free to declare that scamming is against the rules in EVE, and then enforce your rule using force or the threat of force.


Stop asking the sand in the box to animate and smack Billy just because he knocked down your castle, just go over yourself and knock down his.

If English is your native tongue,15 years better spent learning the difference between there, they're and their. If not, the beauty of capital letters and punctuation applies in any language.

What, were people throwing themselves at you trying to give you money and you had to dodge?

I don't understand why you'd feel pride in making a choice that takes no effort or sacrifice whatsoever to make.

Nothing personal about it, if you're going to murder a language, at least do it properly.

We could force them to read your shitposting in this awful thread?
