Yeah good point, let's get this back on track and talk about the article whose two prime sources for information are Horus and someone logged into a guest account on IRC.

Someone else start though because lol


The best thing that could happen would be riverini taking that article down and CCP nuking this thread.

If they started doing that the next step is CCP demanding the removal of articles that cast them in a bad light and trashing those threads. The step after that is of course having to get written approval from CCP on any article as everything that occurs within the game is their property.

We have enough censorship on these forums now without comments like that.

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

I'm curious how much the new AI slamed this type of bot

Not nearly hard enough.


To be fair, I think most mission bot users use shield missile ships and not drones. But CCP Arrow produced some nice tears.

Q-Bot User wrote:

"P.S. Window positions are broken AGAIN. Each player has to resize ship cargo window, primary inventory window and station items window to his preferred sizes again. For every account. When I think about botters who own dozens of accounts, it makes me mad. I wish every developer who has participated in this change, and was too lazy to save former window positions and sizes: next time they go to WC, do it SLOOOWLY, FOR A HOUR, DROP BY DROP! So might be they feel the pain of manual resizing of 72 windows after a patch for a hour..."


I did find some other interesting comments from when Retribution launched, but I know no one here is interested in bot tears.

There is a very big difference between CCP taking down something that paints them in bad light and something that HELPS, yes HELPs, botters.

Please continue comparing apples to oranges, mr durian.

Maybe the botters haven't read about it, then it isn't too late. But then again, maybe they should have that warning, I mean if they weren't reading EN24, surely they will learn about the warning system that is EN24

I first broke the "core ****" to Sreegs early in December.

The tip was more or less like this:
- Check out Blood and Sands
- Gummi Worm ****
- TEST / PL might be involved.

Yet I promised him the full exposure after we were done with the article, we had sent the full logs past Wednesday.

Regarding CCP Sreegs telling us to that we should have waited for him to act might be too much for us. We gave him a heads up, we sent the logs on Dec 26th.

Keep in mind CCP Sreegs, while grateful of any help we could give him regarding EULA violations, he has always been clear that he nor CCP Games will not disclose any actions taken toward those infractors. So we could have waited 1 day, 1 week or 1 month and it wouldn't had made any difference for us given than there is no feedback from CCP if we should keep tabs on things or not.

I do disagree with CCP Sreegs saying that us "blowing the beans" would be a step back given that people would simply stop botting activity. If for him it is strictly necessary to caught the offenders "in blazing offence", then he should close shop and rethink his approach against botters.

You decided to inform them the day after Christmas day when a good deal of the staff are in holiday mode and gave them less than a week to investigate...

You do see how pants on head that move was right?

This has nothing to do with that topic.

Oh and by the way, the last time Sreegs gave us any figures, the highest density of bots was in Caldari hi-sec. Maybe we should apply your logic to L4s and hi-sec ice belts...? Blink

High sec ice bots, you say?

James 315 and the Agents would definitely be interested in news of bots (and bot-aspirants).

heh i love how everyone blatantly ignores the fact that EN24 previously published a botting guide

a shame that Riverini took it down when he was called out for it during his CSM run, oh wait http://www.scribd.com/doc/71692882/The-Rise-of-the-Machines-The-Practical-Guide-%E2%80%93-Primer
