Lies.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

What i'm trying, though, is to attack your ignorance and childish behaviour
and i am obviously succeeding.

Why do you insist on writing "you", although you know it's wrong and makes you look like an idiot?


The OP had the intent of creating more awareness to the scams and, with your first replay, you jumped down their throat with a wild assumption for no reason.

You simply make yourself look like an ******* and a child.


@OP: The trade hubs are plagued with scammers and the forums are plagued with trolls.
If you really believe this, then you're as bright as the OP.

The only annoying thing with Jita is the never ending stream of scams in chat. The chat there is just completely useless and the 1 genuine seller in there will never get any kind of visibility. While I agree that scamming is part of the game, and you should just pay attention to what you buy, the endless stream of spam isn't.

According to the code of conduct here (link) spamming is indeed prohibited and I really hope at some point ISD or what not will take action against these players spamming the same crap every couple of seconds.


im reasonably convinced that several, most, if not all the repeat scam posters are just bots. and while i have no way of proving it, i dont know if theres any way to even have ccp investigate them. I mean if bot mining is bad, shouldnt bot scamming be just as bad. After seeing the same names posting the same message in the same trade hub for days weeks months when does it start to become obvious.

When are these freeloaders who wont even undock to make thier botted filth vulnerable to player action going to get whats coming to them (an investigation at least prove me wrong even i dont care just something).

I know some scammers in trade hubs are legit humans cause i have spoken to them and had a good laugh - and i fully endorse thier human operated services!

It has been proven already . Problem is that CCP is mysteriously avoiding this long term problem (mining bots=forbidden; spam bots=allowed.)

Also solution could be simple. Just automatically ban all those characters from this list.

What you actually read local in Jita, that was where you went wrong.

Let's steer this conversation away from discussions of activities against the eula and such moderation. I'm sure CCP has things under control.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

So what is everyone having to eat? While I'm in Jita, I think I will enjoy a club sub with extra bacon. I'll load on the veggies and finish it off with a small stripe of yellow mustard and some vinegar and oil.


I usually have two hotdogs at once


With onions and red sauce

Sometimes mus-tard


It depends


I like NY style Mustard but not real mus-turd


your talk of hotdogs reminded me of this
