No, WildShark. ION is considered a scam because Ionomy did not do these things yet:

* post all the premine addresses
* post the addresses of all team stakers/masternodes
* post the burn addresses of all XPY that were exchanged into ION
* show the registration of Ionomy PTE in Singapore
* publish one game a month like they announced they would
* stop selling offchain tokens such as "atoms" and "electrons" that have nothing to do with cryptocurrency
* stop selling hyperinflating wallets that have nothing to do with real POS
* stop selling pretty PNG files (aka "skins") for their version of hashlets
* start giving real answers to questions in their public forum thread instead of giving useless pseudo answers in a chat

In other words, ION seems like a scam because it's such an intransparent, premined, hyperinflating fake-POS coin with additional offchain tokens and a ponzi-like structure.
