I think I've already posted my unorthodox points of view enough times to certify myself as "New Eden odd" as the Devs. LOL, I actually like the constantly bold stance this game has against other "similar" titles we find in PS gaming. I actually LOVE the bold response that the devs give to issues like aim-assist, tactical-shoot outs, "team" interaction, anti-farming, etc.
To get the grasp on Dust, I had to read up on Eve-Online (no I don't have any interest in playing that game). It's not just a game---it's a detached imaginary universe of cruelty and double-cross. I got educated about the (JAW-DROPPING) deception and heist element in Eve, and I knew that, as any sort of player-trading opens up in our game, that same lying/cheating/dumb-sucker/snatch element was always intended to get into this game as well, and that it was going to be almost entirely checked-n-balanced by us PLAYERS, not policed by DED (you may not know who DeD is...).
I haven't tried trading yet (I figure I have no reason to rush into that arm of the game just yet), but I am armed with my own player-customized scheme, for suppressing the scamming attempts when I get around to joining the trading arena.
THAT's what the devs want you to do. They want you to come up with YOUR means of protection against the New Eden player-danger.
(Nope, you don't get to hear what MY safety-gimmicks are, hehe )
It IS what the game environment was always intended to be about (it's just unfortunate that so many months of just face-shooting before the appearance of any trading, led many players to think this game was just about innocent honest face-shooting...)
Some players are going to have to decide if they feel comfortable in a game about infiltrating and snatching their hard-earned stuff,... and I think that's fair that they need to reconsider if "the full version" of Dust is a game for them.
But I don't think the Devs should be policing the trading system too much. Only police abuse of someone's account or character names, because the rules clearly warn that nonsense IS illegal (federal, earthpeople illegal).
It came way late for many of us, and this is painful  , but you are finally being welcomed to what Eve-Dust 514 is, in its mature form.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
