The best EvE Online Trolling / Scam caught on tape

[Oliveros]

So I came across this today on youtube, this is just amazing, I almost fell out of my chair laughing

[JustintimeSS]

Eve has some horrible people playing. I feel sorry for that guy.

[Oliveros]

but thats what makes it great, there are no rules, its completely cut throat, no hand holding at all. no free loot, no welfare gear, just pure unadultrated sandboxing. I find it hard to feel sorry for someone who falls for such an obvious scam, then does it again

I don't see how this is that amazing. It's not even good trolling.

"Give me 100mil and I promise I'll give you 500mil back"
"Oh kick him guys"

At least WoW trolls are funny.

[Oliveros]

because he fell for it twice, and they made him sing the my little pony song. look at the wallet shot.

This isnt even close to the best seeing as how there have been MASSIVE scams that have taken place in this game, this pales in comparision to some of the epic ones iv read about.

[Oliveros]

true, but its still really funny

[Deleted]

I feel kind of sorry for people almost falling out of their chairs when watching this. It was neither funny (like at all) nor that big of a scam.

Then again I envy you. Sometimes I wish I were that easily amused, would make most youtube links I dare click not feel like such a waste of my precious time : -D

This is just sad.

[Powerogue]

see, that is how it's done

[Arganis]

This sounds like that episode of South Park where Cartman gets the pubs sold back to him.

Would anyone by chance have the story of how one guy took down an entire "guild" or "company" whatever they're called in EVE that essentially crippled the economy.

There are countless stories of individuals or groups stealing tens, and I think even hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of ISK (in-game currency). You'd have to be a bit more specific :P

[Oliveros]

if you are talkign about the two guys that took the game for 1.5 trillion, they set up an investment ponzi scheme, this one posted promised to instantly doubble any isk sent to them.

[asharia]

kinda feel sorry for the scammers. they must be pretty bored with the game at that point

Taking advantage of others like that isn’t funny in the slightest, I’m not amused and scamming people is wrong.

Never play EVE.

Goons scammed some idiot out of 80 billion today, so the dramaposts go on the forums anyway.
