Steal mission objectives every chance you get!! 
I sometimes try to sell them back, but mostly just give them back for free if they ask nicely. Sadly, the majority of them just warp off without a word, or go straight to petitioning for harassment, rather than interact with another player in a civil manner. |

Well, people don't usually go around stealing other peoples required mission items, but it does happen. You would think they would just remove that ability rather than have to trouble their GMs with having to reset missions for so many players.
CCP must figure it will cost them more money than they are losing by choosing not to police scamming. Maybe they are right, but it certainly makes their game ugly. |

Yeah, but how many people are you going to need to convince to complain about it before you think they will change the game to fit your point of view rather than the clear majority that have posted here today?

source that scamming costs ccp money. otherwise we'll have to declare that you're full of ****.
also, being able to scam in eve is something other games don't have and that uniqueness makes eve very attractive. |

You might think that is part of the game, but its not. It is simply being an a-hole because you can. As with everything, it is only a matter of time before this dumb mechanic gets changed. |

If you think the game is ugly, why do you stay? 11 years and CCP has allowed (hell, encouraged) scamming, it's never going to change.\
I just don't get people like you. You hate things enough to post over and over again (from behind the cover of an npc alt) but you somehow don't hate those things enough to go play a game you actually like (with a community you'd actually like)? That's insane.

tl;dr
I'm full of hope and I may have chosen the wrong game to attempt to share my love and care for the utopian world I know exists. Also, I'm bad and have not been prudent when accepting contracts... It's my own fault but I blame you evil-Eve! |

It likely costs them money because people hear about that crap like that and don't even want to give EVE a chance besides being an overall disgusting thing to see in chat constantly. What kind of game company is so lazy that they don't even police scamming in their game?
Is scamming supposed to be part of the appeal?

When I heard about what happened, I thought, " That sounds exactly like what players from EvE would do!"
But then again, how many other games have such a large congregation of their playerbase all in one spot? If you said Blizzcon, fair enough....of all those people who show for that, how many have intimate knowledge of each other? It's hard to know the truly deranged among any one group of people when everyone is a stranger. You need motive and passion. There are people everywhere who will fail to separate fantasy from reality, there are people everywhere, in every game, who will take things a step too far.
From the outside looking in, it seems like we're all a bunch of blowhards but if you hop on TS and talk to people, they're no different from players in any other game. If you actually took the time to talk to people instead of getting butthurt over being taken advantage of, you might learn your tormentors are actually nice people. When you show your asterik everytime you screw up and get taken advantage of, people tend to reflect and amplify that attitude.

Priestess Lin: Yep, the year 2036 is the year CCP changes this dumb mechanic.

Source : https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Ninja_Looting#As_a_Profession
On scams CCP have this to say
Quote:Scams
A scam is what happens when someone takes advantage of your misplaced trust, temporary confusion or ignorance of game rules, and robs you via legal in-game means. When this occurs, there is nothing the Support Team can do for you. Although low and despicable, scams do not violate any game mechanics and can not be compensated for by the GMs, nor can the scammers generally be punished for their actions. Source : http://community.eveonline.com/support/knowledge-base/article.aspx?articleId=27
TL;DR what you're complaining about is totally legit as far as CCP are concerned, don't like it? Tough.

I would like to end thia thread by twlling a short summary of a story
CCP Hellmat himself told at the 10 year anniversary fanfest.
Some guy said he'll pay lots of interest if people gave him money.
People started to give him money.
More people kept giving him money, because he kept paying interest.
More and more people kept giving him money.
He took it all and ran.
According to CCP Hellmar, 500 players quitted the game,
because CCP refused to step in as it was their own decision to put trust into this.
5000 players joined the game, because nowhere else could this happen.
Realism attracts players.
Facts beat your disconnected opinions.

No need to reach anywhere when the facts are already at hand. I'd even venture to guess that the high-profile scams of yore are to this day the largest contributors of new players.

are you sure it wasn't over 9000?

and even it its true, it just reinforces my point about CCP being greedy and attracting even the scum bags.
