are you sure it wasn't over 9000?

sounds really believable. Roll

and even it its true, it just reinforces my point about CCP being greedy and attracting even the scum bags.

But where is "the scammer" profession on the main website? wouldn't they want to promote this 0 SP required "feature", as you would call it? Lol

Get real.

Loads of the big thefts have been reported widely on media sites. Go read the feedback comments and people tend to remark they've always been interested in Eve because of these stories (but put off by things like the learning curve etc). Before the Ebank scam GHSC were reported a few years earlier for their activities. Some of the big alliance disbands/thefts get coverage. It's not bad media if it brings in people who want to play in such an environment.

Btw you just completely contradicted your argument with the underlined section. According to you, subs will increase if this type of behaviour is banned. That's greed.

I guess it's time again to put effort into removing haters.

Finally cracking down on scamming would also be nice. It really adds nothing to your game but contempt for it. Who really cares about the degenerates that make your game ugly? Or will it cost you too much money to police it?


It adds things for us to laugh at dumb people for, i personally love watching people cry when they get scammed <3

Don't be mean to the poor fellow. He has already shown that his command of words isn't the best — no need to rub it in. Cry

Here is a question:

If a game company made a game where they were happy to let characters choose to become scammers, thieves and villains, and produced the following video to promote the game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGplrpWvz0I

and players liked the idea such a game could exist and signed up for it... Would you go "Oh, interesting I suppose, but that is not for me." or would you pay that company money so you could go on their forums to complain about the style of game they created and insult its player base?

While I try to play a relatively "good guy" in the game... Just look at how CCP promotes the game, the stories that are spoken of. The BoB director betrayal that vaulted the Goons and was made into a comic book, the Guiding Hand Social Club plot, a couple notable banking scams... CCP love to retell these player made stories. Stories where somebody's (in game) day was totally wrecked, because Eve is harsh like that.

Your complaints seem to be like someone who buys water and complains that it is wet. That is confusing to me. Without going into forum-fu posing, could you honestly help me understand where you are coming from?

Is the Thomas the Tank Engine mod as amusing as it looks?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Just quit already, do yourself, us and CCP a favour. CCP know their game and their market niche, you don't see to fall into the latter.

The real greed is from the likes of Blizzard and EA, where massive profits at the expense of quality are more important than a quality product making a reasonable profit.


The funny thing is Princess accusing CCP of being greedy while at the same time Princess is giving CCP money. I mean really, is giving someone even more money a cure for Greed?

It's like trying to help someone out of a substance abuse problem by handing them a white powdery substance, some pills with a big "X" on them and a few pounds of a green leafy substance and telling them to have at it lol.

Actually EVE gets rid of sociopaths and degenerates relatively fast. Usually the get scamed, tricked into shooting a loot thief with their bling mission ship or their barge blows up and then they get banned for making death threats or quit by themselfs. Some even whine in the forums afterwards.

You have to do it like me.
I didn't start yet, though.

Analyse every single offending post and report them all.

Worked with DE and Salvos, who miraculously vanished both at the same time...
