The old rule applies here as on RL. "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is" thingy. You got scammed plain and simple. Lesson learned I hope. Dirt Bags on here just as in RL. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Worse here and on the internet in general. Someone might be a cool dude in RL but be a complete ass here cause they don't care and know that nothing is going to come of them in RL for their actions. If the internet wasnt Anon 90% of the stuff on it wouldnt get posted.

Was there a roleplay element to this?

If the accused is a Halfling rogue of Bristlebane he should be praised for being so in character.

Will be disappointed if it was a follower of the Tribunal; in which case the hammer of justice should fall down heavily upon them.

Why would you release the 100k without the BP in your hands?
looks like he was in EC advertising for the other guy. the tells were sent to the seller not him. he received no items to sell and therefore no money

Basically he wasted his time advertising for someone else that was off having fun

For most situations yes. This applies beyond just scamming. We are moving to a system that encourages all staff to log warnings as well as related violations/associations, essentially as much information as possible so that our CSR logs are as comprehensive and clear as possible. Before this only bans and suspensions were really logged - now we have much more information available for accounts where it is needed, and that will continue to grow as time goes on.

This logging was done somewhat lazily in the past, with things often missing a log entirely (especially near the beginning in the Uthgaard days) so I really tried to encourage people to log as often as possible when I joined the staff as a Guide, and when I became a GM worked with Sirken to set in stone that it should be mandatory to log as much as possible so future CSR's can clearly understand and obtain information related to individuals. This can be difficult for severe violations, such as large RMT operations and complex scams, so instead those are usually just annotated where possible for specific bans with a brief overview of the entire situation.

This helps us to better provide the community with faster resolutions as a direct result of clarity and ease of use on our end. It's worked extremely well so far, and even allows Guides to assist the Senior CSR staff in ways they never could before due to the amount of information available.

In EVE stuff like this is just part of the game. Be the villain.

I think people are missing the 2:57am edit in the original post where he said "I only told them to send him tells since I was in EC auctioning so I have no cash".

So basically, new guy would say "WTS a, b, c" and when people expressed interest he told them to contact the mystery man ("MM") with the BP. My guess is MM would then login his EC alt and sell the items and get the cash himself. So like Thulack said, he was used by MM so that MM could exp or do whatever while getting new guy to hawk his wares in EC. No money ever changed hands.
You in the EC, twirling that money maker!

threads on these forums, even in server chat, are very rarely about what actually happened in game

most of the time they devolve into discussions on hypotheticals and etiquette
