First of all, CCP needs to be down right punched in the face for allowing this into the game. ITS A GAME and they insist on letting this go and will no help the victims nor punish the people doing the scam. This is unacceptable, CCP MUST fix this crap, i have been playing for over 4 years and not once did i hear of scams in EVE or that the GM's dont give a rats arse about the people who fall victim to it. I was told to basically get over it. Well i throw the BS flag on the field for that. I paid MY EARNED ISK threw hours of game play and im told that theres nothing do to about it. I have left EVE for this crap and for the response I got from the GM. Maybe someone at CCP will see this and then get a damn clue thats something should be done about it. |

You know, once I brought an iteron for 945 mil. I just accepted the loss, not much I could do about it, just let it go.
Since then I dont use the market when I'm tired or when I'm in a hurry I make sure I double check, because the time wasted could save me a billion isk lol.
Most people will read this thinking it's part of my post, when its actually my sig :P

Check the Crime and Punishment section where this thread actully belongs. Scams are part of the game. Its a Sandbox enviorment, if you can play the good guy then the other person can play the bad guy.
BTW before someone beats me to it. Since your quiting can I have your stuff?

Boy I'm not sure if I should ask for your stuff, or tell you about the new game coming out from CCP based on EVE but with more of a "moderated sandbox" flavor. The cool thing about it is you are able to transfer some of your Isk from EVE over to the new game at a 50% exchange rate. I already have a character with max fighter skills so if you want me to transfer some money over for you, just follow these instructions:
1. post your new account name in this thread
2. send the amount of money you want transferred to this character, Malcolm Gerwulf
3. mail me in-game when your account is up and you'll have your money back in minutes |

I scammed the very first day in EVE. First three days of mine I stole cans (there was no wrecks then) and did bookmark scams (sold bookmarks with a phony location). That's the first thing I learned in this game, that a low-skilled players best make money by stealing. I also wonder how the hell he could play 4 years without noticing.
I stopped my scamming and thieving after I ****ed off a group of 200 angry russians that camped me into a station, since then I been a combat pilot and made sure to play with corps that has industrial sides as well.. but yah, seriously, the best and most logical way for a new player to earn ISK with that low sp would be to steal ore and ninja-salvage other players wrecks.

The only scam I ever fell for was a 50k ransom of my second Rifter by a pirate Omen over 4 years ago. He of course, blew me up.

I can't think a reason for scamming to be punishable. If you are drunk/dizzy/sick/stupid or simply a dumb**** , then it's normal to be scammed.
NOBODY forced you to buy the item in this extremely high price. The seller just puts it there. If you buy it then it's your fault.

I LOLed. You need to be punched in the face for paying for a game for 4 years but not actually playing it. I've made countless billions off of scamming. It used to be much easier too, selling Stabber as Vagabond, and Caracal as Cerberus. CCP have made things that people used for scamming a little bit clearer and harder to fall for, but some idiots still do. You seem to be one of those idiots. Welcome to EVE.

I knew scamming was allowed long before I even joined EVE – heck, it was one of the reasons for joining.
Maybe you should read up on the game before buying a character.
