This comment is troubling because either you haven't thought this through or you take your player base for idiots...If you have no problem telling the difference between bots and those that use cache scraping "legitimately", then there is absolutely no reason to explicitly make scraping against the EULA. If you find someone botting, ban them. That is already against the EULA. Why would you need a second reason??? The only reason to make such a change is to have a reason to ban people that you can't tell are botting, but you think they may be. If this is the case, then, as mentioned, you can't tell the difference between an evemon user and a botter. I encourage a strong stance against bots, but with this change you take us for morons if you tell us, 'well, we can already tell the difference we just need two reasons to ban them'. Well, to that I say, three reasons would be even better, so lets make mining against the EULA, but not enforce penalties against legitimate miners so you have three reasons.

Quite frankly, Im offended and it sounds like a few others are as well.

Good job CCP. Now ban all cheaters.

I have the same problem. I've lost a few ships and a lot of time because of it.

If the point of the original DevBlog was to say that you were looking in to clarifying the EULA's stance on Cache scraping for macroing and RMT, then I have to ask the question.....

Why the hell didn't the blog just say that and prevent all this mess.

Now we don't know if we will get permabanned for using tools that CCP has recommended in the past.

What a mess

Good job failing at understanding the definition of a blanket statement, CCP. There's no "Sorry you see it that way" here, CCP Peligro, this is a blanket threat that goes against explicit CCP positions in the past (see http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=734561&page=1#9). You're entitled to your opinions, but not your own facts or definitions of words.

What I think they will do is read the input from your mouse and compare it to the coordinates that the OS is reporting. if a bot moves the pointer while the mouse is idle it will flag for botting.

AP0 it's just the media show before Fanfest ... and, in the 0.0 still are flying farm bots.
Why the CPP does not fight against this phenomenon?

This is another fail if 2,300 accounts modified their client a perma ban offense then perma ban them. I lost 4 billion isk worth of Gas and my friend hauling it lost a freighter 8k off the gate playing by the rules. Now you want to scan my computer what are you an American politician? Rewarding bad behavior cause you failed to enforce your rules, and then take from those that did play by the rules? One more straw I'm out of this game.

Before you scan my computer make the following changes.
1) AP warp to 0, is it not obvious we don't like it the current AP 2,300 people risked losing their chars. (stop wasting our time) ( this was my brothers son's reason he stopped playing to much time wasted getting from point a to b)
2) Activities like Hulkageddon ( it was allowed to eliminate bots right? or did you think we needed the grief?) would no longer be an asset to the game as there will not be bots in the game. So prohibit those activities. If you want to agress someone in high sec wardec them, or be Concorded before you can blow up someone else's ship in High sec.
3) Make insurance cover the cost of a new ship including T2 ships and you buy it once and the ship is covered for the life of the ship provided it does not change hands.
4) The bounty System has become stupid as my market alt has a bounty on him and has done nothing to anyone and can only fly a newb ship. To place a bounty on some one should require some sort of preliminary aggression by the one getting the bounty.


I PHP (Players Helping Players) in this game. I have been in this game for years with 3 paid for accounts and don't really care for PVP (i don't hold it against people who do) yet the game continually becomes more geared to PVP; in low sec and null that's expected and i'm happy it is there, But It has moved more and more into high sec and may be the reason subscriptions have not continued to increase as a newb has little time to enjoy and learn the game before being blown-up. And now there is no place to relax and let your guard down in the game. I know from experience as my brother quit playing due to being blown up several times in high sec.

If you've really been in the game 3 years, then you know...
1. That if you weren't so lazy, you can warp to zero WITHOUT FAIL every single time, just by staying at your keyboard. Don't blame CCP for your lack of initiative.
2. CCP has no control over the Goons. It is the Goons that drive Hulkageddon and Burn Jita, and though it pains me to admit it, their shenanigans provide most of everything else that I find at least mildly amusing in this game anymore. I'm fairly certain the Goons lose several thousand rifters in the process, but compared to the damages and tears they harvest, well worth the sacrifice.
3. Insurance is only there to lessen the blow, not make you whole. What do you think this is, real life?
4. Why are you complaining? Your market alt apparently ticked someone off enough to score a bounty, one that will never be paid! I'd call that "winning"

Can i haves your stuff when you leave?
