Great. So these morons abuse trial accounts to send these spam mails promoting their ISK sales. I know that trial accounts are already severely limited due to the macro miner gang, but maybe it would help to limit the number of EVE mails trial accounts can send per day. Disabling them completely for trials is probably a bad idea, but 10 per day should hamper the spammers enough to not bother. Or they'd just create 50 trial acoounts :/
Now recruiting!

Better idea: Only allow trials to send mails to people, who had added them to their buddy list (opt-in) --- The greatest crap CCP designed into EVE: Next generation manufacturing. |

As someone who just came from trial to paid, I can say during my trial I must of sent eve mail once in the 14 days my account was a trial, there's just too much to learn and all I ever did was chat in local anyway.
so I would aggree that limiting trial accounts ability to send evemail would be a good idea.
Isee EvE is truely begining to take on a "real world enviroment" if spam has entered the fray, what's next EvEmail anti virus? and POD firewalls?!?!?!
Reminds me of that article about the WoW test server implementing a blood virus on their test server, chars moving to a public server passed it on and it became an epidemic all by itself, a testiment to the power of MMO's today. (No I never played WoW and refuse to do so, but the article was intresting!)
Anyway going way offtopic here.

**** happens. It's always difficult to judge the good from the bad. If you block this, they will find another way to harass you, trust me. PPL tend to be very creative in this. EVE is all about communication, communication is something between 2 persons or more, somehow PPL react to these mails and make it profitable for them, otherwise they wouldnt take the bother.
But if you such a mail, remember this: Its nice to know that there are ppl dumb and lazy enough to actually buy ISK's and not "work" hard to get them like "we" do. Cause if you havent worked for you ISK's you sure as hell will spend them easier then I do! I'm a trader, I earn some of my ISK's on largely (very) overpriced products that these lazy bastards buy with these ISK's in remote places, cause they don't want to fly that last jump to buy normal or cheap. So the last laugh is on me! :D (rofl as I'm deleting another spam-eve-mail!)

We used to get infected with a certain kinda of contagious virus that did a whole lot of damage, and then teleport to standing outside the bank in Orgrimmar and infect the whole population. You could come back a day later and there'd still be newbies running around wondering why they were losing hp.
And people wonder why I think WoW sucks so much :S

Disable trial account escrow usage. Set trial account max evemail per day = 2
Set trial account minimum security space that can be entered 0.5
Trial accounts are great! Trial accounts being used as scouts, shopping alts, spam bots, escrow scammers, macro miners, macro anything etc is terrible!
This isn't that hard. |
