Hey can you give us an updated count of false positives?

At fanfest sreegs said it was only 1 false positive.

I know for a fact that it's at least 15 now, and maybe as high as 50.


That is untrue and as I elaborated in every single case we've found where someone was flagged for RMT who shouldn't have been, they were doing something else they shouldn't have been. Not so much a false positive as a positive for the wrong activity.

It may be mincing words a bit but there's a very big difference from my perspective as these aren't really innocents getting caught in the crossfire.

Does anyone actually own a beeper? Seriously, when was the last time anyone here saw someone with a beeper? Bare minimum, you can buy a 15 dollar throw away phone for that. Shocked

That would scare the crap out of me!


That's not very much isk. You can make that in an hour playing fairly. Try again. ;)

As I gaze upon the fruits of CCP's security team's efforts, I am in awe.

Let the RMT apocalypse begin.

Seriously though, great job guys.

If this proves to be true in some of your ongoing investigations (I have a friend who is still banned who only just received any sort of reply from you guys after almost a month of hearing absolutely nothing...) will you come out and admit it?

e: To clarify, the player in question was running a bond business within the alliance. It'd have been very, very easy for him to come into contact with tainted isk or assets because, hey, lots of players sending him isk and him doing lots of varied types of business with lots of players.

Assets are calculated into an isk value for the sake of simplicity. You can imagine that items seized run the gamut.

I still have one.

It still works (tested it for fun some time ago) but I have to admit that I haven't been carrying it around for the last 15 years or so.

ps.
Once upon a time I even had a supercool watch with builtin beeper ...

Have updates or warnings for the new players via the TV in the Captain's Quarters or even on the odd billboards floating around space by the jumpgates?

Kinda like those annoying drug control ads on TV lol

"I.e xxx amount of RMTers banned since xxxx date - Crime doesn't pay!" or some other equally corny phrase.


I doubt they want to "break immersion" that way. Not saying a clever way to do it couldn't be found, but they probably want to keep most of those messages in something like the launcher or EVE Gate rather than in the game world itself.


I understand your point entirely. Perhaps it can be worked in such a way to be seen as a crime in-game? I'm sure the Eve story guys can work their magic.

I.e Concord(not CCP) banning players laundering ISK? .. I dunno

In all fairness, if your internet "friend" actually was doing something in violation of the EULA (botting, RMT, or otherwise) are you really sure they would admit it to you...

Edited some clarification in; he was running a bond in the alliance. It'd have been all too easy for him to get false flagged.

Good news, good news indeed. Way to go and keep it up!

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

I think for a brand new EVE player that would seem a lot of money.
Although a few billion might be more around the right mark to make an actual statement to newbies.
