1. I do agree that we need a more secure market system in place. But everyone here appears to be forgetting already and rather quickly that CCP Rattati did NOT have time to implement a full blown market system as that would have taken far too long to setup all at once. So he chose the methodical way of doing things and that is implementing the market system bit by bit. First we get "send items", later on we might get a trade window and then later on (if we're lucky) have Eve Online market system implemented. But again, that takes time so just be patient. Besides, CCP has much bigger problems to deal with first and those take priority over the market.

This forum section is dedicated to all things Player Trading, introduced to DUST 514 in Warlords 1.1 update.
Remember, Player Trading is trust-based, so you will have to find your own venue of trusting and having a successful trade. Pirate
Good luck, and have fun mercs!
Key word being TRUST. That means that CCP is leaving it up to you to find a trusted player to trade with. That usually means sticking with your corp mates or relying on a broker who is highly dependent on keeping his/her reputation. I'm a broker as well but I have to look after my reputation very closely because I'm not only a well-known public lecture host in the Dust community, I'm also a known instructor for Dust University which is a very reputable training corp like Immortal Guides. If I scam even once, not only will my reputation be ruined for the rest of my life but also that of Dust University. Too much is on the line for me to scam.
3. Dust 514 operates just like Eve Online where it is perfectly legal, according to CCP, to scam a player, rob a corp, do corporate espionage, ransom anyone, etc. The only things you are NOT allowed to do is impersonate another player or dev, manipulate any data flowing between your PS3/PC and that of CCP's servers, not use any bots, and not involved in any real-money trading.
4. Just so you know, even if CCP were to implement the entire Eve Online market system TOMORROW (hypothetical scenario here), which is the kind of secure system you would ask for, there will still be scammers and thieves. Just only the smart ones who really have to go out of their way to actively scam. The ones you see here in Dust right now are just the lazy ones who go after low-hanging fruits. So there is no scam-proof system you can think of in a game where the developers clearly allow this.
5. You must now assume that any game developed by CCP that operates under the New Eden culture will definitely allow scamming and stealing. In the immortal words of a capsuleer... "Welcome to New Eden".
PS: In case you're thinking about it , if you plan on making a big stink about the game allowing scams and theft to the public, expect your plan to backfire. People have tried that before with Eve Online and all it did was actually help Eve Online grow because Eve thrives in having its shenanigans being talked about in the public. Forbes.com, Kotaku, and TenTonHammer even often talk about it every so often and that helps Eve quite a lot. The same could happen to Dust if you tell everyone "HEY LOOK, THERE IS THIS FPS GAME THAT ALLOWS SCAMMING AND STEALING AMONG PLAYERS".
