Make contracts less time consuming to check, and make scams less possible to achieve also.

Its simple really. Add the estimated value to the bottom of each contract. Makes it less time consuming to check all the market values of items in the contract, and at the same time scammers will have a harder time making isk off people.

Scamming is a legit business in EVE, this idea hurts scammers game play and takes the 'fun' out of the contract business. Either dont buy / sell contract or deal with the dangers.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

If you want to buy a contract that has 80 items in it, thats your deal. Adding estimated value would be pretty worthless. And it wouldn't impact scammers at all, because scammers already rely on people not being able to count commas. Adding a second number with commas and such wouldn't really help the people that fall for contract scams in the first place.

Never forget.

It's already been mentioned but scamming is perfectly allowed in EVE Online. Stop talking about it as something that needs to be weeded out.

As for the suggested idea itself: if you can't handle checking the prices for yourself, you're either lazy or you're playing the wrong game. Do your homework.
