A channel full of bots doesn't sound useful unless it's a control channel

I was making a joke that incorporated the generalization that many traders are just bots and expanding on that idea, a "control" channel for bots is something typical for malware bot nets that connect to an IRC channel to receive commands.

Im... confused, at first I thought you where leetpro haxor Trolling me, now I realize your seriously clueless.

Can you imagine, a room with bots taking commands and some one like me waltzing in and making a live feed out of it for the whole world?

I think CCP would probably react to that with REAL legal actions, that would just be horrendous, these bot makers aren't completely ********!

have you ever bin to the "Ships" channel? how about the "Blueprints" ? these are all official CCP created rooms and people just sit there and talk about stuff, but generally focus on the theme of the room.

I want a Merchant room from where new players can receive real advice and tips, not a room owned by any factions, something completely neutral with no forms of "il kick you of I want to"

Not sure I quite follow what you actually want to achieve. I know channels like Signatures and Legit Trading, and I know that I have one public channel myself too which has open doors for visitors. However last part where nobody really owns it or that there wouldn't be kicking based on personal opinion (or anything else), not sure how that would be achieved in any way. Or if it is achieved so that someone makes channel but nobody has powers there after that, what kind of purpose that would then really serve.

I'm not seeing any actual need or way to channel prosper which try to share information aggressively or try to generally educate people to become traders. Not many share their tricks and tips for trading, and quite often it is highly positional how something works for one but could be really counter productive to others. It's more like smaller circles which some sort of master and apprentice hierarchy. :)

Sometimes smaller circles are more beneficial than having everyone packed at same place. :)

sorry, but how hard is that to find out? channels ->Trade->choose one.... there you go

litterally the same effort it takes for a new player to find the help-channelRoll

You both have missunderstood, completly.

When I joined the game, those channels where there, good, excellent, their still here, BUT there is no main Official trade channel in eve online, called Trade, or Merchant or anything that covers the entire braud spectrum of all forms and arts of interacting with buying low and selling high.

the Help channel is to braud, questins like how do I steer my ship or how do I change ammo are not quite what I was thinking.

The Private rooms, like SCC have personal owners with their own Biases, therefore one cannot simply wounder in there and splurge out the truths and disapate myths without being kicked banned or squelched, its also looking kind of aimless and lifeless lately, althought some of the most respected Merchants frequent it, still I want to see the real deal.

Im curious, are there any people here with or without biar against my, current forum posts who can actually put up a good and valid argument against or for such a channel?

The only thing I can think of, is this would be a cesspool of scammers, What WOULD happen if this room was created.

I admitted that I was joking and it was meant to be obvious as a joke for my target audience. I think "clueless" is the wrong adjective.

And even after I said it was a joke and explained the joke, you took it seriously.....
