After reading through a lot of this (I did get slighty bored with it towards the end) I only got one thing to really say. Why should the game mechanics get changed just cos you got scammed? if you had bothered to look up on popular scams in eve, you would have noticed that this is near the damn top.
If you had used your common sense, and instead said to the guy who interested in buying, I just set up a contract, and then you can buy, you wouldnt be having this problem. it what contracts are there for. it takes barely more then a minute to set up a contract.
I have given money to people who have been scammed but these have mostly been people with two-three month or younger life. the fact that you have a 4 year old toon, and did it with a 95 mill domi, suggest that even if you havent played the total of those 4 years, you damn well been playing long enough to have known better.
Accept that scams are a great part of this game. Sure it frustrating. sure I have taken a hit on my main char, (to the tune of about 1.2 bill. messed up reading a contract. entirely my fault.) but the whine fest people are having on this atm, is going too far. you wanna feel safe, go and be a WOW noob.
are some of the game mechanics a bit messed up? well sure. it an 8 year old game. some of the mechanics frankly dont make sense, cos parts of it got changed or phased out. Do I wish sometimes these things got fixed? yeah sure. But at the end of the day, I play this game, cos I like it, and am willing to put up with current game mechanics and accept that some of it will change soon, and some of it probably wont be fixed for another 8 years.
If you cant deal with that then why the hell are you playing? if you play this game you accept it all. the fact that you can be PVPed, (even if you dont want to) anywhere, or scammed in jita, or just that some git just nicked your jetcan and killed you when you thought you could do him instead. The game mechanics do not need to be changed to the extent that a MINORITY think it does. if you want the mechanics to be more wow like, then go and join wow. if you want it to be more rift like, then go and play rift.
This is EVE ONLINE. If you cant hack playing it, then sod off. HTFU |
