Hello everyone,
I just wanted to post a suggestion as I am pretty ****ed off from the advertisements that are spammed in channels (Mission where they offer ISK for $) by different trial accounts all the time. While it helps to Block them a bit, it doesn't get rid of the problem. Also there are more and more (or maybe not more, but at least too many) scammers in escrow. Usually it's a trial account.
So I wanted to propose to disable The ability for trial accounts to join open channels other than maybe some newbie help channel (which I am sure quite some helpful players will join and offer their help) and also to disable their ability to do escrows. Scammers should be banned imho, I know you have to check the wares but still they suck :-) and should be punished. With Trial accounts doing the scams there is no possibility to get revenge in any way, if they are regular players ok, then you can at least become their arch enemy and kill them sometime or place a bounty on their head. Alterantively implementing an ability to undo a trade within 5 Minutes would do the job also. If you haven't done it till then, you deserve to be scammed tbh ... Just Block the money on the other side for 5 minutes.
Maybe there are some other opinions,
thx for reading

Why should a "scammer" get banned when it's know the escrow is a shady place at times? Just look at the info and make sure the package is what you are looking for. I'm not a scammer and I think scammers should diaf, but honestly, they are only screwing over the dumb and click happy.

Petitioning doesn't work. Those characters are bots utilizing trial accounts which are not tied to any real person.
Sadly, the only way to adress the problem is to severely restrict trial account communications such as. Mainly their ability to send in-game mails need to be withdrawn. Maybe completely or maybe so they just can send to people who have them in buddylist.
In the end, this ISK for USD/Euro will just make CCP remove the trial account feature completely, unless something is done. - Three years old |

Well as for the Eve-mail spammers i agree completly they are as annoying as hell. Sadly nothing can be done about them tho it seems unless you count petitioning them [which i recomend].
Concerning the problems of escrow the devs no doubt agree and have already provided a potential solution for us in the new escrow system system we are due to get in Kali 1/2 or 3. Its apparently a lot more versitile as well letting us set corperate missions like agent missions for corp members or non corp members therefore revolutionising the haulage industry.
Actually im looking foward to this.

I started on a trial account and am now a paying/playing member of Eve. I am not sure if I would have been able to get to know the game or enjoy it if I had been limited in who/where I could talk to. No remember that most true noobs will have no idea how to pull off an escrow scam. They need to trace the escrow ads and eve mails to the isp of the trial account in question and block that isp from EVE. That way any person that is genuinley interested in trying out and maybe joining EVE will not be totaly hampered by not being able to communicate with others. Since I have joined I have reported 4 or 5 ISK sellers and even turned in one fellow for spamming a URL for a free macro to help you mine while away from the computer.
Just remember it's not the true noobs doing this, it's veteren players taking advantage of the trial.

What I don't understand is why CCP won't just search through all the eve-mails and ban all the accounts that advertise through eve-mail. All they need is one or two GM's running a search on known ISK for $ websites. Now that I think about it, they probably actually do this,I hope.

Yah, well unfortunately you have to accept the fact that spam will arrive no matter what. The rest of the internet hasn't completely solved the spam issue and I don't think CCP will be any more succesful without drastic measures. Probably just not worth it for them.

just make it so there are no open trial acounts, but a subscibed person can still give a 14 day trial to a friend..
BUT make it so you can track and se who gave the trial to that person. This way it would be easier to track who the scammer is.. and punish the subscribed person. Need a Sign? Click Here |
