Carrier credit crisis

Some Carrier owners are selling 'credits' or cargo directly in games with cash payment made via third party site! Surprised this hasn't been dealt with!

Many players did warn this sort of thing would happen with off ship cargo storage, many others poo poo'd the suggestion as silly and paranoid and demanded off ship cargo storage, they still do in fact, how many demands for in station storage do we see these days?
 
If you can link a seller to a commander account, let FD know.

That's probably the hard part. Unless someone is being stupid and announcing their commander name, tricky for FD to tell who is doing it. Plenty of people use FCs to help others out.

It was always a concern though and one of the reasons people have been against players being able to transfer credits directly, and was a concern when it turned out FC owners could set their own prices for goods.

You can also report the posts/sites which are doing this just in case FD are not aware. Maybe they could spare some resources to pose as buyers in order to shut these people down.
 
There is a dedicated website that allows trade between players for cash of ingame items for many games. You can see a partial email for those who thank them!

the trick is they sell you commodities at low prices you then re sell at market rate. real world cash has been echanged previously. Before they were taking over your account and playing the game for you.

That was predicted, it's an obvious method.
 
Even in the event I can afford one, can't see getting a carrier - too much butt-pain to maintain the things.

Now if FDev comes up with a "pocket" carrier or something akin to Star Citizen's Polaris concept, might consider that.
