Hello,

Due to your incorrect coding of the trade tool which allows others to change the trade amount prior to a trade being competed has costed me 2 PLEX

The Screenshots of the Scams are attached Below , But the reason i was scammed is because the Trade System in CCP is broken,

The Trade System doesnt ensure safety of buyer and Seller , It doesnt provide extra security for people selling to ensure they dont get scammed

Your current broken Trade syste has costed me 34.99 $

When can the Devs or CCP return this amount ? Cause if the trade had the additional Message Box requiring both buyer and seller to check what they are trading before the trade , Other people wont be able to Scam

Now i dont know if CCP promotes Scamming or intentionally have build the trade tool in a manner where people buy more PLEX from there stores

But with the current EULA , Any Financial Damage caused to Players due to a pronlem originating from the system is CCP / Devs responsibility

So i would like the recompensation of the 2 PLEX i lost due to your insecure and incompetent design of the trade tool which is used in the game , I have spent real Money in buying PLEX and if i am loosing tat due to a fault in the System it is your liability / responsibility reo refund the damage and fix the system

shows the amount paid for 2 PLEX , this amount couldnt be reduced if CCP trade tool had message box confirming that the amount was changed , Also it didnt have any security to ensure the transaction goes as intended , Scamming is fine but scamming through tool provided by CCP is wrong and should be fixed

screenshot of the deals , and how the person changede the funds prior to trade being complete due to broken trade tool

third screenshot again showing how Trade tool which had no security for buyers or sellers is assisting people in commuting fraud


so when will CCP fix the security issue with trade and reimburse my lost goods due to no security

You should ask them to reimburse you for this also - https://zkillboard.com/kill/47168977/

Seriously, give it up before you push the ISD's over the edge. You are not getting reimbursed, period. This scam has been around forever and it's YOUR fault for being dumb enough to fall for it. Drop your plex to a buy order, or sell it on a contract.

Trusting someone in Jita local is never a valid option. Ever.

Your tears are glorious.

You are not doing anything besides digging yourself a bigger hole, and providing us something to laugh at, just stop.

It's not a flaw, it's part of the game. Deal with it.

So, question, just so I can learn something: when the scammer changes the number and clicks accept, the seller doesn't have to click accept again, for the new number?

So your brother RMT's, you get scammed and awoxed and you think its the games fault...
Then you have a go at all of us, and the EVE community is one of the best in the gaming world...
And then you have a go at the DEV's and GM's...

I hope you kept a list of those other games to play... I don't think we'll be seeing you around here again for a while...

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

Spamming also includes the posting of ASCII art within a forum post, or the practice of “thread necromancy” which involved bumping of old threads for no justifiable reason.
