No sure if this is the right board but..
I talked to some guy called "Admiral Pringles" offered me his pith X x-large shield booster for 450m.. so he made a contract and I paid but no item..
I guess people in eve cannot be trusted.

I wanted to private convo him but he blocked me.. I already sent in a petition.

I know you will not want to hear this but you should always check the contract before paying.
Scams like this one are legal and I'm doubt your get the Isk back. The only ones you can't scam on are game time card and trading of toons.

People want revenge because like all animals we are self-centered and greedy. If they can't get it like our little frind can't take revenge on the good Admiral (obvious alt) then, like all animals making noise about it is the next reaction wether is be crying, posting on a forum, petitioning a GM or howling at the moon.

Okay, remember, DO NOT accept FreeForm contracts. NEVER!! They are always a scam. I almost fell for one myself over a Navy Issue Raven.
Be careful, only accept ITEM EXCHANGE contracts. |

Because he was angry about it and posted on the forums? Because he allowed it to happen to him in the first place?
If posting a whine on the forums is grounds for getting scammed, then I suppose that means every Amarr poster is fair game.

Why flame the OP when it's the mechanism that allows this sort of thing to happen? The very mechanism that we were promised would discourage scams of this nature made them more prevalent. Avoiding freeform contracts isn't the answer. Removing the ability to create freeform contracts is the answer. They should have never been put in in the first place.

Sorry that you were one of the people who had to fall for this scam Arkie.
And to everyone flaming him, it was a new form of escrow and if you werent really careful or if you were alittle too hasty it could have happened to anyone.
No hard feelings and im sure you and everyone you talked to after this, has learned an important lesson in eve and you may have helped people save alot of isk this way

Sorry to hear you go hit with a scam Ark. Happened to me once too under the old escrow system. But that was abit harder since it was a set of BMs. The person in question actually made some 800 copies of a fake BM point supprisingly. Was a ***** to get them out of my hangar though. Ended up having to petition it since they wouldnt delete and caused some major problems.
I must also express some degree of supprise at the post from the scammer. Thats.. rather unusual.

TBH, i'm still ****ed about it because i never knew this was possible in the first place. The isk you took from me, I worked really hard for it. I was saving the isk to buy me a faction ship but I can kiss that one goodbye for quite some time now thanks to you.
Still, i have no hard feelings towards you or what so ever. I guess if i should blame anyone for it it would be me for trusting you.

OK, so you got scammed, others do too. Most just get on with it, and either get even if they can, or move on. But to ban the person?
What next - ban players for shooting other players? Ban them from stealing ore? Ban people from using cloaking modules, because they are too hard to see then? Have the devs remove all the rats from belts because they spoil your fun too?
Grow up people, and wake up! If you are too stupid to read carefully, and make sure everything is OK, then you deserve it. It's part of the game. It's there so that people CAN do this sort of thing.
If you don't like it - go play WOW or something.

The fact that people fall for it is a good illustration of human naivety and stupidity.
I like that CCP condones scamming like this, it adds to the game, and weeds out people who really should be playing in the hand-holding pink fluffy land of WoW.

WTF does World of warcraft have anything to do with this? there's pvp servers on WoW... which have people JUST as bad. and you know what, it's people like Mr.pringles who force the action that Blizzard and modern day Government and Police have taken to prevent such atrocities from happening. Yet, people complain there's too much regulation in their lives. Pity..... and I wonder if the proof of intelligent life other than on Earth is simply because none of them have taken the time to contact us. <scratches chin> hmmm

Peoples actions speak just as loudly as their words. How people choose to interact with others is just as loud....
I am fully aware of the fact that it's a game, but somehow I get the feeling that it's not an intended part of the game to grief and scam by the way of marketing purposes. The only reason people scam, probe into a mission, and kill newcomers is simply that it's easy and that they CAN do it. It may be immoral or not intended but since it's there, it's gonna be used. should I, or shouldn't I, that be the question. =)

But it is intended, CCP themselves stated that it is a key element of the game.
And do you honestly not think low sec and 0.0 mission runners were meant to be scanned down?
These are all integral parts of the game, if you dislike it go to www.wow-europe.com and enjoy the "ress at GY" option.

I didnt' want this to escalate to another redundant pve vs. pvp discussion. I'm merely mentioning an idea, which was "do you think the proof of intelligent life outside of our own (ET, other worlds and civilizations) is quite simply that they haven't contacted us?"
considering "given the way people interact with each other, the lack of trust for the fellow man the inability for us to resolve our differences and resort to weapons in the name of ideological fervor, child molestations, rape, gangs, blah blah blah the mere fact that we as a human race are barely a step up from the savagery of a baboon...."
with that in mind, consider the fact that there are reasons why there are nerf's and regulation from CCP, because CCP aptly puts their trust into the players that they will have some sort of tact towards each other and make it easier for us to use contracts as a form of marketing for the game, only to find that it's being abused and nerf it. hmmm WHHYYYY? because someone like mr. pringles thought it was funny to rip off not only 450m worth of monetary value, he also ripped off countless hours of time it took the other person to get that 450m, all simply cuz it was blissfully possible to, despite the ramifications of his behavior.

Just like in real life, if you are not careful bad stuff can happen. If the contract system was never meant to be abused why is freeform an option? And why is there a huge warning message? Whoose fault was it that the warning fell on deaf ears?

Obviously that was not the purpose indeed, but not much they can do about it? Easist way to spot such unsocial fellows is to observe how people communicate with others. Do they respect them or just smack and insult?
Then again, you cannot make such personality analyze based on available mini-professions players have chosen to follow. Some people build things, some pvp, some pirate while many go for scamming.
Or like my favourite analogy: compare those professions to the dreadful habit of some chess players of _eating_ opponent's queen... Eve is tame compared to that.

no no no no no NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. im starting to get rather tired of people saying "OMG HE SCAMMED! HE SHOULD BE PERMENANTLY BANNED!". EVE is the awesome game it is because of the RISK involved when playing it. risk doesnt just apply to pvp. the reason you all have this ultra-realistic player-maintained market is BECAUSE of things like this. these things happen in real life to those who are stupid enough to let it happen, and the same applies here.
problem numero uno here is that just because someone got scammed, people instantly cry that its down to the fact it was so easy in the first place, and therefore is an exploit. and in fact its quite the opposite. if i go and put up a random free-form contract for some zydrine, nobody will buy it. fact. However, if i take my time and put in the effort.... find a victim stupid enough to fall for it, talk to him a bit and make him feel at ease, cover my tracks, etc etc etc, THAT is when scams prevail. and the scammer deserves everything he gets.
CCP should put a button on the petition menu saying "report a scam". but blank it out with strikeout text and put underneath it "service will be resumed once people figure why this is blanked out".

So scammers nearly made you quit eve, nearly making CCP lose out on your one measly subscription?
Ok, let me make this crystal clear.
The day CCP turns EvE-online into some pitiful space clone of WoW (start banning for scams) all my THREE accounts will be closed down, and I can assure you many other hardcore eve fans will do the same, many of whom have far more accounts than I myself do.
Now, I don't think CCP gives a hoot what I say here, they don't need my three accounts, but their marketing departement is WELL aware of their most unique selling point.

Totally agree, i have three myself, and they would all be cancelled if EvE were changed so much that it lost that risk factor.
The risk in this game is what makes me want to play it. Without the risk, it would be another game that i would play for two weeks and then say 'Meh, it wasn't bad' and forget about it.

Originally by: JoeTabard Edited by: JoeTabard on 03/01/2007 17:18:36 for some reason I'm getting the feeling that CCP did not create this game and say "Go forth and be as-oles."
that's besides the point here...... nobody reads.. there's too much ignorance.
the hell with it.
Are you completely sure about that? The Crime and Punishment forums is nothing but pirates slapping each other on the back for raping some noob, corp thieves congratulated for bankrupting someone to the point they might quit, scammers carried by the masses hailed as heroic, and just about all of them posting on how to make best use of "Game Mechanics" to **** people off for a metric F-Ton of whatever they earned.
Given the ratio of "Crime" posts to "Punishment" for said crimes, I think CCP made the game and a private bet was made amongst the devs as to how long it would take to turn average, everyday socially functional people into sociopaths.
Whichever one bet on 2 weeks probably won.
To the OP, sorry you got tooled in the chute. CCP allows it. Life is hard, get a helmet.

Yup.
That sounded like a bunch of WoW talk to me. Please remember you are in an EVE forum and "by God, go back to WoW." |

No sure if this is the right board but..
I talked to some guy called "Admiral Pringles" offered me his pith X x-large shield booster for 450m.. so he made a contract and I paid but no item..
I guess people in eve cannot be trusted.
I wanted to private convo him but he blocked me.. I already sent in a petition.
First of all the price was not right and yes u can not trust any 1 in eve
And it would not suprise me if this scam possibility was bild in on purpose by CCP .
Any way it sucks .
