I know what jitas like, but when basically every spam is a scam, its becoming stupid. Yes ok you have the block button, buts its a never ending stream of spamming alts, you just cant block enough.

Please block JIta local Big smile

Their are a ton of Good deals in the Contract Links.

Turns out half the people there are actually selling stuff.

It was a shock to me.

Jita is part of the culture. Most people laugh at it. Those who do not learn...

Same actually. Logged my Jita alt the other day to check prices, and just for fun clicked several links in the local, to see what the lastest fashion in scam industry.
Turned out that 3 out of 5 links were quite legit and actually quite nice offers.

Yes it's not that bad.

You just have to read and re-read what's being offered. At a certain moment you get to know the most used tricks.

Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

Yes. Very few scams. Also, is anyone interested in this Caldari Navy Raven I have? You can't see its faction icon due to a bug, but it's legit.

Jita is a trading hub, so obviously the place is going to be plastered with advertisements.

Go stand in the middle of Times Square and have a look around and see if you spot a pattern… P

I'd like to see a server side local block button and a local clear button. Save bandwidth coming out of the server and get rid of the annoying/obscene text left over from a Jita visit.

Every banner we see on the most accessed websites is also a scam. Block the internet?!

They're adverts. Of course they're scams. And of course they're spammed.
