It might just be that it's a new GM who is used to the way it works in other mmo:s and therefore didn't even consider to not refund.
If not it's a bit weird...

My opinion on the subject is this :
Scamming is lame, but changing or bending the rules in order to help some of the "better" members of the EVE community is even lamer.
I suspect that the reimbursement was done for 2 reasons :
1. It was too successful 2. Several of the more "famous" EVE citizens were victims in various ways
Of course, I don't know all the facts, so I can still hope that I'm wrong

Well, actually, not really. You TRUST that the people who said this person was a good BM seller were not lying, or an alt of this guy. So..
Rephrase : Proper Research

Originally by: Shinnen I read the whole thing again, and I agree, the GMs should not have interfered IF there was another "insurance" company such as your real life bank that would monitor large amount of money being transferred and give it you back if you lose it due to a scam.
There is no other option for exel to do then what he did, so i agree with the GM's decsision.
The problem is that this is the only known ipo scam refund, while there has most likely been several others and there is still (as far as I can tell) nothing in the rules against it.

Originally by: Minuet People need to read, understand, and think more before they post primarily under the influence of their emotions.
The protections extended by CCP under the "no scam" rule applies only to threads posted under the SELL ORDER forum. This is not unilateral protection -- those of you who want to, can still scam...just elsewhere.
thank you, soemoen that knows the rules and thinks
"Scams involving characters transfers and ETC's are not allowed and will have repercussions in game. Other scams MAY have in game repercussions, at the GMs discretion."
What it says is that it's up to the GM:s to flip a coin regarding whether to do something or not.

Originally by: Khatred Do you try to look cool? Do you have alts in RL? Cause I want some too, would be pretty handy in the house. When you scam, you trade your reputation for isk. When you're pirating, you trade your safety for isk.
*cough*
