So once a code has been redeemed, there is no harm in showing the code itself. Anyone can then check that the code itself has been used as was legitimate. Otherwise people should just assume that Viktor is just running a scam |

I would generally assume something's a scam until reliable sources can verify a sale.
But it seems a little needless to point out one trade/r and attempt to discredit them.
No.

how would that help? a very small percentage of the gaming community pays attention to the forums.
scamming and griefing are fundamental to eve online.

I just personally think the cost of 300 million for these things is a pretty rediculous price and to the extent that people lend credibility to the possibility that this could be a scam my mission is accomplished.
I personally want to see this game succeed, and I don't think its at a point where a lot of people would hear the news about a guy getting conned out of 100 hours of in game effort and be thrilled to continue playing.
I'm not saying that I think the rules should change, just that everyone should be warned. |

So why the hell do you care? You obviously are not buying one yet are trying to tarnish Viktor's name and reputation.
If it was a scam wouldn't the people who bought one be crying out of the forums?

LMAO at anyone that spent 300mill on garbage gear. That's a billion ships or a billion proto guns. I always go after red suits first. Paper thin.

They could be alts. I'm not saying he is necessarily bad. I'd just hope people use the opportunity in the game to actually make personal contact with the guy they are about to give all their savings to. |

Leave the decision of publishing of the codes to the people who buy them. After the purchase, the code is their property.

the hilarious part is posting codes acomplishes nothing.
if your selling the same code over and over again then LOL
but its just as easy to modify the code with new numbers/letters in the same format and achieve the same results, so posting the code would be meaningless |

All I'm saying is that posting old confirmed codes would do is somewhat increase the credibility of future sold codes. Of course, new codes could be faked, and old codes could be bought an implied that they were sold, so yes, there is still no way to know for sure. |
