Oh look another moron that thinks buying Plex should be P2W. He has this notion so far up his anus, he literally cannot hear the "obvious" he is being told.

There comes a point when scamming is just wrong and unacceptable. The time is when people are scammed with their own RL money and there is nothing you can even do about it. CCP open allows this, its real life theft.

If people get scammed with ingame items, like silly mods or buy scams they fair enough because you can at least check those.
But when it comes to renting space there is nothing you can do at all, no checks, no contracts nothing.

When i spend £100 to say buy plex legally, thinking im setting up my eve empire then that converted ISK is then stolen jist like that then theres something sick and wrong about this game. Thats personal theft. and thats where crap like this needs to stop.

yes i am extremely anger, and if i saw the person in RL i would ram his head into a wall many many times. I feel like doing this to CCP right now actually.

I think this has left me feeling a bit sad and angry and only leaves me with one choice but to leave the game for good after a number of years. I wish the scammers TRIBAL BAND good luck with the 3 bill isk, if 3 bill isk is something your so desperate to have then i hope it makes you happy.




When you turned real money into PLEX, you turned it into an ingame item. Nobody stole your money, and you're the only one to blame.


How the feck am I to blame! See this is exactly whats wrong with the game!! The money was sent directly to the alliance holding corp not a person as well.. But hey its this attitude that stop ppl staying

And also the plex was paid for by real money, not gridning in game, by plexing or ratting or mining, REAL MONEY!


He's right. Once you used money to purchase PLEX, it's the same as paying money purchasing a monthly subscription. Even if you do not use that PLEX to lengthen your sub, you are introducing that PLEX into the game and selling it for isk. Isk is an in-game currency, and as such, is subject to being scammed from you. Sorry about your luck, that sucks.

OP makes me ashamed to admit that I'm British, his command of grammar and spelling is atrocious.

Your low lifes? really?, that is terrible, his English teachers would be ashamed to see their teachings being abused in such a cavalier fashion.

TL;DR

OP is terribad

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

OK, lets have a poll now as per what is really going on:

1. Enemies of Tribal Band trying to popo Tribal's rent business.

2. Disgruntled Tribal member trying to popo from within.

3. Tribal actually scammed someone

I anxiously await more Tribal members posting here.

the people who support scamming like this are either scammers or just as bad as scammers. imo low lifes..


I don't CCP "actually" supports scammers, but they say it's part of the game, so they don't have to deal with the headache of 1000's of petitions a day about being scammed. It also helps encourage people to be more careful and learn about risk. Because if you make a poor choice, no one is going to be there to bail you out like the Federal Reserve.

ISK is ingame...

Guess I've been proven wrong, Plex really is P2Win. This guy paid for it, and the other corp went 2 win it.

You clearly thought that you could "pay to win." Did you, seriously believe that EVE is that kind of game? Did you, really?

(Gods, how I despise your kind. It beggars words in three languages.)

Anyway:

Your whinging that you're "not to blame" after spending real money proves this.

It takes much, much more than whatever transient items 100 quid of RL money --all of which are easy enough to get through in-game means anyway, just need a little time-- to "set up an empire" in this game. The things that are really needed for that cannot be bought, in any case, either in-game or out of it.

EVE is not a pay to win game, and I submit, with scamming allowed/encouraged, then there is no way that it can be anything but the exact diametric opposite thereof.

You are 100% to blame because you weren't careful enough with your investment, and in turn, lost it.

Working as intended. Welcome to EVE, else find an actual pay-to-win game and **** off out of ours with your "pay = insta-win" bullshit entitlement-mentality.

[cathartic rage-post]

No ******* sympathy for your kind, EVER! Go find another game to ruin, little rich boy!

You lost in-game items through in-game, legitimate tactics. The fact that they hold real-world value to you is of no concern.

Since the OP has had his ISK refunded to him this thread is now redundant.
