Scammers gonna scam.

As the devblog itself mentions, scamming around PLEX for GOOD is not allowed. If someone comes across a character doing this in the future please file a ticket with the name of the character in question and it will be dealt with. Thanks.

CCP: "Scamming is legal, unless you are going to scam a real life charity working to mitigate immediate human misery in the aftermath of a major disaster. In that case, you get banned."

Fixed that for you.

CCP: "Scamming is legal, unless you are going to scam us. In that case, you get banned, unless you are SOMERblink, then we give you stuff and pretend your bowel movements smell like freshly baked cinnamon rolls."

Considering how much of charity money actually ends up with those in need, it-¦s probably more of a scam-the-scammers scenario...

Fixed.

You know that trope is a bit dated now, right? and you can for many charities, track the money they get, and where it ends up?

As the devblog itself mentions, scamming around PLEX for GOOD is not allowed. If someone comes across a character doing this in the future please file a ticket with the name of the character in question and it will be dealt with within the next 3 months due to backlog of petitions due to the next patchxpansion Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a few threads advocating a similar idea. Too bad that CCP is the only one who can actually pull this off.

this is why i donated money straight to red cross

DEVIL'S ADVOCATE !!

Just because somebody has this name,
doesn't necessarily mean he'll scam !

He could as well have good intentions and just use the name to advertise it !

yes, because the red cross is such a trustworthy organization...

I work near the British red cross HQ and once a month all the directors come and have a meeting. The car park is full of jaguars, mercs, bmw's and Porsche's. You'd never have thought charity to be such a profitable business.

In this case, scammers gonna get all their accounts permabanned

Scamming in eve is one thing. Scamming a real life charity out of real money donations that are just being processed via the game is another thing entirely, both morally and according to CCP's rules.

I didn't realise that people who work for charities are obliged to be paid less than the market rate for their skills. You live and learn.

Or perhaps you are mixing things up and confusing the fact that charities raise and administer charitable donations with the idea that people working for these organisations should also provide their own services as a charitable donation.

If i buy a plex that is now on sale for only Gé¼17 and donate that, then CCP donate $15 to redcross.
30% of my donation is missing... almost $8.
And then when redcross finally get the money they take $10 to stuff their own pockets. Bosses with miljon dollar salery gets payed before anyone that really need help...
Of the $22 i payed for plex, maybe $2 go to the people that need the help.

So who is scamming who here?

Scamming is scamming. Sociopaths sleep well because they simply put into their minds that they are playing a game and forget that at the other side are people with emotions that make online games possible.


But i got through the part of being shocked about this. It's not something exlusive from EVE, that's for sure.

You'd never have thought charity to be such a profitable business.
