I thaught the QR patch was death to scammers as item description added by players became small and insignificant yet so many in jita persisted or found new loop holes. Scamming is enjoyable and amusing but seriously the clutter in local has run amuck. I would more favor scam spam filters in local over any restructuring of contracts. just mho

I can honestly say I have no sympathy for your loss. Besides, scamming isn't a profession, it's a flaw in ones personality.
And I'm glad to see it's treated as such. ------ Heart for isk, Balls for risk. |

Oh dear dear . Flaws in peoples personalities for scamming in an online game of internet spaceships you say eh? Well in that case to all scammers I say this: "Shame on you sir SHAME ON YOU!" You're clearly less moral human beings than the rest of us for playing the game differently. Would you steal an old ladies handbag? Would you steal a car? NO Well what are you doing stealing peoples isk omagaD11. Please man get a grip lol.

Human stupidity is infinite, remember. You'll find other ways to part fools from their money. As old doors close, new ones open...
Of course, if you're one of those who just copy other people's scams, you might have to wait a while for the innovators to come up with the next big thing. --

Well, apparently wrecks and cans no longer show up on the directional scanner. Slight nerf to the honorable profession, but nothing that can't be endured.
I've seen one person whine that they can't seem to scan out a guy running a mission in deadspace. Its probably a problem between chair and keybaord. In testing that was done on SiSi it was relatively easy to find a guy once you had localized him to a reasonable area of space (couple minutes).
So unless they did a last minute switch-a-roo...there's not really a ninja nerf.
As for scamming, they've nixed the freeform, which never really stopped the scams in the first place. Stupid and greedy folks will fall for it no matter what. Even if you get rid of all the pretty links and colors and everything. --

As long as there are players that satisfy at least one of those attributes scamming will remain.
Oh and guess what, there is going to be an influx of people with little game knowledge and shiny plex's buring a hole in the pocket

heh I got scammed a few days ago. Realised a few minutes after and convo'ed the guy...
TimMc > heh nice scam btw :P TimMc > just realised that thing is only worth 20mil Scammer > heh Scammer > :) Scammer > good one isnt it TimMc > oh well its not like i could use that mega anyway TimMc > yeah i think i will use it on someone else Scammer > hehe TimMc > and so begins the cycle of life Scammer > indeed, good luck with it, hehe, that hardener will circulate eve :P TimMc > yes lol, tis a good scam... alot better than those ones in jita trading a t1 item as faction Scammer > they're stupid, dont know how they work TimMc > or a 1 missile as 1mil of them Scammer > atleast this one requires some effort and thought TimMc > yeah that mega had been on contracts for 5 weeks so i was desperate Scammer > heh TimMc > i will try to swap it with someone for their navy apoc or something TimMc > see if i can move it up a notch Scammer > yeah i was trying that, not many people were buying it Scammer > so i tried a little less value
I had a megathron with triple CCC on contracts for eons. The guy convo'ed me about swapping it for a officer EM energized plating, which while sounded good and only other one on contracts was 200mil... I later figured out it was worthless nearly.

You don't understand what you're talking about. Freeforms could never be issued to public to spam chat channels with. There were the types of contracts done in private between the scammer and the scamee. Now CCP has nerfed them, making spamming local with fake WTBs more lucrative in comparison. So end result will be more scam-spam in local for everyone.

And what's worse, they are making the game more carebear (WoW in space comes to mind) so that weak-minded individuals like the poster above, who cannot separate real life and game, will play through it untouched, without any consequences to their own stupidity.

to be honest, I think CCP is trying to make the game more noob-friendly for the box-subscribers avalanche (if there is any, lol)
no wrecks and cans so noobs won't come to the forums complaining about ninja salvagers
no colours on contracts so no scams with PLEX... this saves CCP from dealing with hundreds of newbie' petitions ZOMG someone scammed on me and I lost $60 real life dollars!!!!!111 want my isk back plz!!!!!!!!!!!1111one

Agreed.. However, removing the wrecks and cans doesn't stop a real ninja salavger (seriously, if you see 2 or 3 BSs and a handful of drones, there not out for a picknick) and Noobs are the ones that aren't going to notice that the "contract looks funny" anyway.. Noobs are going to notice the thousand and one popup warnings, but they have been in the game for a while and people still get scammed. NOT a kublai alt. Honest! Also, I'm never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. |

Sorry noobs, I've NEVER been scammed. EVER. I just find it amusing that now the scammers are whining about things they don't like and can't do anything about.
Am I REALLY the only person who sees the irony in one of the less-than-honest players getting on C&P to whine about HOW HARD LIFE IS MAN and being mocked by a straight player? Mmm, I think I'm starting to understand why the pirates love carebear tears so much.
