EVE General Discussion

If this becomes a big problem, people will simply stop taking those contracts.

It's self correcting.

No need to howl for CCP because you don't bother to check the drop off location and get blapped.

Mr Epeen

Okay. Got it.

Same solution, though. Don't accept contracts to citadels.

Mr Epeen

CCP please fix a problem i could fix for myself with a simple adjustment of personal policy (ie don't do couriers from Citadels/player owned structures period, then they can't lock you out).

EVE is a game, you are supposed to have to pay attention to what you are doing. When I didn't do this and ended up paying 100 million isk for a tech1 hauler I didn't run to the forums asking for help, I made myself count the damn zeros i failed to count that time, and haven't paid 100 mil for a t1 hauler since.

I think people should stop asking CCP to play EVE for them.

I make space-money killing rats. I do not scam at all.

But nor do I run to mommy CCP every time I screw up. The people who do this are people who cannot take responsibility for their mistake,s even in a video game.

People are trying to scam us all day every day in EVE, part of the game is not falling for it and/or (as in my case) learning from it after you fall for it. You are asking CCP to fix your mistake for you, and that's wrong.



I can't facepalm enough at the above written crap.

TBH it is a bogus feature.

It erodes confidence in private stations as a viable alternative to npc stations. It is also counter-intuitive to have a player check his/her ability to dock at a citadel, accept a contract and then be summarily screwed by the owner and default on the contract.

It gives the honest scammers a bad name

Just add a 'dropbox'. Solved.

I have to agree on the PLEX part. CCP delivered a half baked patch, full of bugs and lacking essential features. Its like an Incarna of PLEX changes.


Go shoot monument and stop buying PLEX from them.

I actually like the idea of being able to have courier contracts completed without docking. It means I can have stuff delivered to me without having to worry that in doing so I would be letting an enemy dock in my station.

BREAKING NEWS: CCP makes the game; players make the rules. Whatever rule CCP chooses to impose, good players will find ways to exploit it to their benefit. Nothing new here. Works as intended.

The three most critical attributes required of this game are:

1. Attitude
2. Effort
3. Intelligence.

Failing any of these, the Newbro is on a path of certain futility and frustration.

The OP has had the benefit of many people sharing the obvious errors in his/her decision making, their clear lack of understanding of the fundamental game mechanics as regards contracts and Citadels, their failure to learn from their mistakes and, probably most disturbing, the unwillingness to accept responsibility for one's own choices. And yet, the OP's intransigence only grows more fierce and persistent.

The tools are available in game to avoid being scammed. One only need avail themselves of them to avoid being taken advantage of. That you have failed to grasp that concept is on you, and only you.

This game was succeeding long before you showed up and will continue to thrive long after you're gone.
Good Luck!

Why would CCP change it? It was the same way for Null Stations and Outpost, why wouldn't Citadels be the same way? If you look at the contact destination it says "Destination may not be accessible." or some such thing.
