Most people get scammed at least once early in their career. You learn from your mistake and it won't happen again unless you are stupid. If its too good to be true, it probably is.

Ayyy LMAO.

Oh come on. Really?

I have spilled more coffee, knocked over more drinks, and ripped more clothes than I have lost ISK in this game.

We all get scammed. Just forget it and have fun. Good luck in whatever game you play.

I didn't read the whole thread...so forgive me if this was brought up already...but what's a week old noob doing with more than 370 million isk to get scammed out of? did you buy a plex? is that what the reference to "$15" was ,,,because I assumed you mean subscription cost since you plan on leaving and all.

It's difficult to determine from the OP whether this was actually a scam or not, so I checked his contract history.
Yes, he was in fact scammed. The contract was an auction for a Raven BPC, but the info by issuer, and almost certainly what was linked in local, was "Raven Navy Issue BPC !"

Who put the goat in there?

As a noob with 524m isk in my wallet I once paid 480m for a Sigil.

I hated you all (and still do).

Solo FTW.

I win at Eve every day, cos its a game i love and enjoy.

Almost the same exact thing happened to me a couple of months ago. Someone was selling 20-30 blueprints for 100m isk. I bought them expecting to sell them at market. And turns out I could not. I ended up using one of the blueprints to build like 3000 EC-900 and made back ~50m. I burned the rest of the blueprints and put a $50m bounty on the scammer. Lesson learned. Never buy blueprints unless you intend to manufacture and completely ignore Jita's local chat. As for quitting, good luck with that. If you succeed, you are a better man than me. In 2-4 weeks, you will see another eve trailer and be right back.

I've bought many BPC's off market to build the ship I want/need. Never bought one to resell, so I can't offer advice there. I think BPC sales are not a scam at all. Hell, I've sold Merlin BPC's I've made from my BPO.

I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK"

There is and it doesn't have anything to do with scammers or protecting newbies.

The thing that would really make me stay though, is if it were a hell of a lot easier to find like minded players. As in, players who aren't narcissistic or sociopathic or outright lying douches.

Agreed... problem is, those players are far and inbetween and CCP doesn't do anything to make the game more attractive to them... they are happy with their player base of sociopaths and lying douches, it seams. Blink

Don't worry, other games will come...

If you are not happy with the corp you are in, there are a billion others out there. Flying with decent people in a decent corp will change the game for you.

If you are just into the pvp side, look to corps like Brave Newbies and RVB. There is continuous pvp in RVB and they have programs to help improve your pvp skills. I've never been in Brave Newbies but I've heard they are active and are meant to support the newer players. (Hence the name)

Jita is a lie. Only the fearsome and brave of heart buy things in Jita, and thats after reading, re-reading, double checking.

We all get scammed at sometime. Count it as a learning experience and move on making sure not to do that again.

It's a tough game. Gotta be tough to play.

after I realized this, I just set course to VFK, the center of this plague ... and since then I gank their ****** ships and miners, make them pay until they quit


"An Eye for an Eye Will Make the Whole World Blind."

It's just finding the right people to be around. When I started playing two years ago as a noob, I used to go to Motsu and ask in local for salvage and most of the time, they brought me into their mission fleets and before you know it I was making 50-100 mil a day and was offered to join a corp and grind missions with them as my skills improved. They were really nice people. I mostly learn this game on my own through trial and error learning through my mistakes, not being bitter, not complaing, not asking too many questions and it worked well for me.





those few who are ok are overshadowed by a dump mob of unlikable personalities, I'm not bitter, I'm calm I see this like a job that needs to be done
