So I set up a public courier contract to have some stuff delivered, and the person who accepted the contract is about an hour away of not completing it. Out of curiosity, I checked their contract history and noted that they have failed every courier contract that they have ever accepted. I know that time to time, they can get ganked, but EVERY ONE? wow, that’s some serious unluckiness! Anyhoo, I guess ill get the collateral back, but just wondering, what is the benefit to purposely failing the contract? ---

Thats a thing, huh? Well in that case, I need to make sure they always get my contracts as all they are is loot and junk I take to jita to sell! That saves me time 🙂 ---

I hope you put up collateral. Cause people will fail contracts if they see the items being worth more than the collateral. ---
