I think scamming has existed since the begining. I'm always shocked at how low some people will go. I remember when I was very new. in fact, I had just completed a "connect the dots" welcome to
PE introduction. this was back in the days when there were cool NPCs like bart and evan. anyway, after visiting the NPCs and doing a couple of things you received a piece of pioneer armour. once I had this, I armed myself with the EP armour list so that I would know what was going on.
well, to my disappointment, I discovered that pioneer armour wasn't so great. anyway, a little later, I was in the field an I actually looted a pair of pioneer shins. I didn't bother with them as I had acquired a better set of armour, at this point. I then met some wandering orange clad neophyte. I struck up a converstation with him and hoped that he would keep me company while I tired to make it to the next teleporter. to help him out a bit, I offered him the pioneer shines to wear. I knew it wouldn't help him much and they weren't worth much but I thought the jesture would be nice and maybe I could have a friend - as I didn't really know anyone.
so, what do you think his response is? he logs off. I wait a few minutes figuring he might have just crashed and I found it difficult to believe someone would do such a thing for less than 20 cents. but, it was true and they do. I don't care about the pennies because they're not important, but knowing how some people can be is worth so much more.
