Hilarious (IMO) Reddit thread about players doing pump and dumps via the trading post

Normally I hate trolls but to be honest, this was well executed. People really should have done a bit more research before rushing out and spending all their gold

Talk about an epic facepalm moment. The stupidity of the human race never ceases to astound me. While I never thought the redit crowd was the brightest bunch I was obviously giveing them too much credit as I wouldnt have thought this kind of thing would have worked. Not particularly funny IMO, just alot of stupid all around.

Why does everybody in real life have to be such a horrible cunt when it comes to making money? Not hilarious imo, makes me sick and ashamed to be a human.

No wait, it doesn't. That's the way we've evolved and why're we're alive as species today.

There's a difference between legitimate business and scams where people sell you stuff on a fault premise, the latter can actually be illegal and punishable by law in most cases.

Hilarious, always nice to see scams go through. In EvE scamming is something pretty normal; however, when it happens in other games where people are frowning upon such practices I can't help but smile.

Ye, cause noone takes EvE seriously, bro.

Einstein said that 2 things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity - but he also said he wasn't sure about the former one. xD

You apparently have never played EvE...

I think this is certainly entertaining and shows the sheep-heard mentality of reddit.

They (including myself) consider themselves the most informed and up-to-date community, but this just shows how easily they can get played.
