It was so long ago, I don’t remember, but at that time, to me, it was a lot. Now just a blip once I got better at the game. ---

I am opposed to scams on moral and ethical principle, and I would never do that, not even in a game which explicitly allows it. ---

Anyone who asks a simple question in rookie chat or googles the game will know that scamming is allowed. It’s not some hidden information. ---

It’s a clear choice, which is carried by its more mature population. Outsmarting others is allowed in EvE. Instead of treating players as braindead, they allow us to fend for ourselves in a Darwinian, dystopian galaxy. Whether someone lost RL money via PLEX\>ISK\>scam deal conversions or via PLEX\>ISK\>stupidlyblingedship losses, it would seem that any player in that situation made quite a few bad choices and almost as many mistakes. At least EvE gives someone the opportunity to learn from it. Instead of crying for support from a game developer, train that brain ! Don’t overspend on a game, or at least consider the money lost when you spend it on something “virtual” the moment it goes off your account / card. We don’t do the “protect people against themselves” thing here. That’s why we love it, harsh and with occasional surprises.
