How is this any different from someone working their day job, earning themselves $100, buying the PLEXes and doing whatever the heck they want with them?

Ok so basically what your saying is people use bots in another game connected to this Nexon group... and they get some kind of nexon currency and then they use this currency to pay for EVE... If that is true, then ya, that is crap. CCP has no rights or abilities to enforce no botting rules if the botting is done inside of another game


sounds like a great idea, EVE but free to play O.o

Well not really but its free to ME lol

GM Homonoia: Suicide ganks are a valid and viable tactic in EVE.

Where is your God now carebear?

Do you make 100$ while watching TV at home? Bot does.
And there are many players in NEXON games who have no moral values on using bot in MMO.
While PvP is a big end-content in EVE, "making isk in-game" is also a big frontend content EVE offers, but with NEXON's arrival to the scene, and with such moral collapse in community (very possible), CCP will risk devaluing big part of their gameplay.

You realize youre essentially telling ppl TO do this, right?

Goons; infiltration at its best - first bob... now ccp itself. They dont realize you guys dot take this as "just a game". Bring it down guys, we're rooting for you.

Our fellow player asked CCP in regard of the bot use in other games and using the NeXon Points to buy Plex.
CCP's official answer was "who cares, give us moneh!"

Sooo, even if you "DO" it, its 100% legal for CCP and EVE.

My guess is that these PLEX will end up on the RMT market. THATs the bigger risk to CCP.

Folks grind one of those other games for Nexon points
Redeem Nexon points for PLEX
Sell PLEX on one of the dozens of RMT sites for less than retail.
Profit

Though a bannable violation, it happens now and will happen in the future. I think it's just the cost of doing business.

Nope.

Try again.


You don't use BOT in EVE Online, you use BOT in NEXON, NEXON is a Korean based publisher who also is big in Japan, and recently CCP "partnered" up with them. They are 2 Different companies.

Nexon will be handling our billing for the localized client and payment security, is of course, a high priority for them. They are one of the biggest publishers in Japan.

Perhaps CCP should realise that with the new buddy system, paying with the accts from japan using this bot money(which nexxon doesnt stop) will flood the market with plex's?

(incase someone doesnt understand)
1) bot in maple story
2) convert above to nexon points
3) activate buddy account sending plex to main account - do this 10 times(activating the account with the nexon points which are the requirements for japanese players to pay for their eve localised client).
4) once the 10 buddy invite maximum is reached... use one of those activated buddy accounts to create another 10.
5) recieve 10 plex's

how long this will take? depends on how many bots you have running in maple story.

Cool beans, counting on human nature it's going to be exploited to a critical point in no time flat. As plex volume goes nuts and depreciation sets in people will be less inclined to let go of their cash for plex. Eventually somethings gonna break, I look forward to the shitstorm and cheap plex.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

Botting, no matter which client it is, is not permitted in EVE Online.
