Forgive me if I missed the thread on this, but I was wondering if anyone who buffs for a living at starports has been affected by SOE's solution to the credit dupe problem. I have not and have not heard of others that have, but am curious about it. I have heard of bigger sellers being targeted.

LOL one-starred for an honest question? Why? Because you hate someone who buffs for money?

I have seen posts implying that it has happened. However, there doesn't seem to be an official answer. The rumor goes that dupers banned from the game are also banned from posting on the forums so you may never hear about it at all...

while on Flurry, don't visit Ojes Yobe's Liquidation Vendors just 800M from Theed starport on Naboo (neg5219 3419) - cause they ain't there anymore! They are now exclusively located in Mos Athens Mall

You've never heard of a One-Star Monkey before? Hmmm, maybe that's just what they call them in the PlanetSide forums...

Anyway, it's some loser who has nothing better to do than open all of the threads on the front page, or on your "List all posts by this user" page, and one-star the hell out of everything. Supposedly, the people who do this frequently have their star weight reduced, so that their one-star sprees quickly turn into a waste of time for them. Don't sweat the one-stars, they're quickly cancelled out by the real ratings of the more mature forum users.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any Docs that have been banned due to receiving duped creds for buffs. Ironic, considering how prevalent the bank tip scam was a while back.

If SOE saw that you receivedtwo dozen 10k-20k tips over the course of an hour, and one of them happened to be from a duper, they're not going to suspect that you were laundering money, so don't worry.

Now if someone you buffed gave you 15k plus a a million credit tip, then you should know it's probably dirty money, and should get rid of it (bank tip it to that address they mentioned, like swg-tips or something - lookthe exact nameup on the dev post about the dupe scheme)

A while back, when you'd get a bank tip, the only notification you'd get is an e-mail, from the person who sent it, informing you of you recieving it.

So, You'd get e-mails like this:
From: Joe
Subject: Bank transfer complete
Message: You've recieved 10000 credits in escrow from Joe.

Well, that's not so hard to copy, and just send back out to docs, without actually tipping us the money. Watching your cash flow was the only way to be sure, and some of the cheaters would sit there YELLING at you that they tipped you, thus you'd loose business.

Now, it's fixed though. The bank tips come from "bank", as they really should have all along

Aha. I see. I was wondering if it went like-

Scammer: Can you buff me?

Doc: Sure. 10k.

Scammer: Right. Bank tip ok?

Doc: Yep.

(Doc buffs Scammer)

Doc: ok, now bank tip.

Scammer: I just did.

(obviously a lie. and Scammer runs off.)
