so... ive been doing some research into the apparently condoned art of conning people out of their money. yes i said the word con in the place of scam because scamming, to me at least, requires little to no talent or ability. conning however, and more specifically conning without the use of contracts, takes lots of skill and ability with words.
to be able to tell someone youre selling plex's, have them come to you, willingly open a trade window, put in 50-100mil isk and hit accept takes a certain amount of selling, talent and stupidity on their part.
one thing i am tired of though, is people *****ing about it. personally, mining makes me want to play russian roulette alone. missions are so boring that id normally rather watch grass grow or golf. and manufacturing... well thats not too bad but conning is just so much more efficient.
thoughts?

One of you posters made me laugh out loud at work and that's never ok.
And to the OP, um... it's a pvp game, now that you've exhausted most of the other options......

confirming it hurts people. both in their internet spaceship savings programs and it hurts their e-feelings, it ruins their chances to buy pixels in an online fantasy game that is not real-life but a GAME.
ITS JUST WRONG, THINK OF THEIR INNOCENT CHILDRENZ FFS.
edit, scamming is both fun and an important part of this game that sets it aside from other bland crappy online games,
if you dont like scamming and actualy think it realy hurts people. go play hello hitty online or summin,

If about every venue in EVE that requires any game mechanic whatsoever is boring to you, maybe you should try another game. You can scam in every game, you know that right? Even in RL. Tho that requires balls.

I agree with Riethe. That lesson was worth way more than 50mil.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find the +mod, +kudos, or "nominate" buttons.
I did find the "report" button that I accidentally hit 50% of the time instead of "reply", though. Seriously, they really need to fix that. But hey, if they're used to filtering out the 99.99% of accidental reports, well, that's their business.
