Nope.


"A grief player, or "griefer," is a player who devotes much of his time to making others’ lives miserable, in a large part deriving his enjoyment of the game from these activities while he does not profit from it in any way" - from the support page. I have seen numerous cases of bumpers being threatened with bans/banned for this.

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

The purpose was to get the botters attention so that he would not miss the mocking in local going on. I'm pretty sure they will have his compete attention when the ban hits.

Nope.

Actually it is. But its up to the GMs discretion as to what is griefing.


That CCP encourages this behavior, even that its a bot, annoys me to no end. ******* ban the idiot, do it right, have some sense in the thing and be professional about it. But to psuedoly encourage more such activities by the player base in emulation isnt what the employees of a company should be doing.

Thats one of the things so far with Screegs, he may be an ex goon, this, that and the other thing, but hes acted and shown professionalism in his actions and performance as a CCP employed bot hunter.


So yeah... dont **** around with it, if theyre breaking the rules ban them, if theyre not dont play "**** ****" games that remind me of station hugging and other silly annoying childish mechanics than doing a job.


Will this be disliked? Yup. But thats why Im posting it. Its the truth.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Truth and opinion are very different things sir. Sit down before you hurt yourself flailing around with that sword of righteousness. You think they should be cold, professional, efficient, fair enough, that's what you want from CCP. You are entitled to your opinion. But look at the situation from my point of view; as far as I am concerned what they've done here is draw attention to a botter, focus our attention on the negative backlash and public humiliation that will befall culprits and, I would imagine, re-enforced the negative consequences associated with botting in the minds of many people. I'm not saying it will have worked, or that it will be a wildly successful move, maybe publicly humiliating botters will encourage people to do it for attention, who knows, but it's still a viable, intelligent way of dealing with the problem, albeit one that doesn't sit well with your personal opinion of what CCP should do.

So before you start passing off your views as universal truths, stop and think that what you feel in your gut, isn't always 'right' and that perspective alters everything

Definitely as funny as hell.

Keep up the good work CCP mocking botters:)

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

there are some steps needed to check if they are actually botting or just flying in a particularly repetitive manner. if during this inspection they run physically into the botter, who's to say they can't mess with them as they wait?

Bumping bots is fun. I'm particularly fond of using a 100MN MWD Stabber Fleet Issue.

I agree with you, definitely not very professional at all.
