AKA “the EVE developers”. EVE was designed from day one to be a game where scamming, cheating, etc, are part of the game. This freedom to be the bad guy is why EVE is still around long after other games of its era have died. Stories of epic betrayals and scams and general dirty tricks have been responsible for recruiting countless players who want to play a game like that. If you don’t like it then GTFO and go play WoW or some other carebear game where the GMs will ensure that you never suffer any losses no matter how terrible you are.
