Indexing is by default part of (at least) the last three released Windows operating systems. I seriously doubt CCP cares about indexing either as part of your OS or by a third party program.

Ok.
Im homemade programmer still - what is the difference of using cache directly or "indexed" version?.
I never looked on those files, still why not just make something that will make a copy of them - and use this copy?
CCP MUST monitor all operations on those files.

On the other hand if i want to be safe - i make windows to backup specific file ( eve cache ) every minute - to a network location.
( second PC) - and there evil stuff it is going on.
2 pc? then 1 pc version.
I use as simple as some VM software running shell linux that will do all the evil stuff on those backup files.


This is what i mean.
if something is sitting on my drive me / my system / tons of different apps can do strange stuff with it.

CCP should not focus on the stuff going on in the client PC - but block it on the Server level.

CCP

I accept your terms, thankyou.

Would it also be possible to ban the 'spam bots' in Jita local chat. I can't get a word in

I have deleted some trolling in this thread.

Please will everyone carry on with their legitimate EVE things. Things that aren't against the spirit of the EULA. The security team have made a real effort here to show their motivation in the blog and their subsequent posts. I feel they've made it clear that, although they can't talk in absolutes about specifics, their intention is to facilitate things in the spirit of the EULA, in the spirit of EVE, but to allow themselves scope to impact activities that are blatant exploitations.

The security team have made real efforts here to shed the aura of officiousness that usually accompanies people in "Security" type roles. I strongly believe that they are reaching out to us as a community and want to be seen as on our side, and I think we owe it to them to let them in. After their efforts to be open with us, (and they've taken a kicking on this thread, and their responses have been amongst the most freindly and non-confrontational blue posts I've ever seen on a forum), after these efforts I think decency demands we let them in.

Statements of the rules from someone or something in authority will always come across as threatening to some extent. We all have to put up with unwanted interference and restrictions from authority in our real lives. EVE is our escapism, (what we choose to invest our free time and imagination in), so there is going to be a reaction against perceived "threats" from authority in our escape from the same thing IRL.

To keep EVE strong any competative advantage has to come from real player skill. Everything in the game is PVP - Economics and fighting - Even PVE and Mining in the context of the economy is PVP in EVE's capitalist markets. To keep the game real and meaningful we expect to compete inside the envelope of the spirit of the game. And we need that to be policed.

Security want to keep the game meaningful - for us. To do this they need to be able to act against abuses of the system. We react angrily about invasions of authority into our EVE world - but we only react because EVE has meaning to us - we need to let Security have the tools they need to keep EVE meaningful. And we should be freindly to them and thank them for it. If we snub them and turn them away please consider how much we could lose.

8 years i paying and saport you CCP for what ?
with that you repay us ?
pfff

Since it's a player doing it, i don't think there's an issue.

I would like an official statement from CCP, i made a pettition and got a link to this thread, however no CCP guy have answered it yet.

That argument is vague, i don't see how you could setup a complete bot using ISBoxer, you must have some thirdparty software involved.

Autopilot to 0 is injection, so therefore is client modification, already a bannable offence and nothing to do with the cache.

You want to talk about something that's been the same way FOREVER?
You can directly insert and execute arbitrary code into the eve client.....even today.

All you're doing with this bullshit is taking a giant crap on the people that make your game better, FOR FREE BECAUSE THEY LOVE THE GAME.

You're just cocking your leg on the people that provide OOG content that you do not.

Which is why alot of people would like to know the stance on multiboxing.
