Based on what you tell me I'd say you did indeed found a botter. Kudos for that.

I think CCP is reluctant to react on these petetions to prevent entire armies of people bumping other dudes around to "check for botting". "Cos CCP appreciates you finding BOTs".

In all reality, they probably do. Maybe they are sneakily checking his stuff. Secret police must remain secret tho.

All of four people. Wow! are they icelandic?

Plus, internal audits are always impartial and cannot be swayed, as we all know. Thnaks for making absolutely clear that there is zero possibility of stealth RMT shenaningans in CCP or big alliances.

I guess that explains why the stakes are so low and why alliance leaders take things so very casually.


A minimum of four people. I stand by my statement that if a CCP employee was influential and intelligent enough to do this kind of thing, they would not do it, and if they did, they certainly wouldn't need players involved because they could just do it themselves.

There´s PLEX, which is standard RMT for CCP, and then there are individual CCP members. Note that I write members, not employees.

Did I mention that if you buy or sell plex you are directly supporting the invasion of Crimea and the Ukraine.

Stop CCP now! It's no coincidence their name is just one "C" away from "Сою́з Сове́тских Социалисти́ческих Респу́блик"

So enlighten us as to this Bot's account name so that we may track it down and make that "determination" for ourselves.

is it allowed to post the name here?


Don't see why not, tell us the corp he is in ass well. I'm sure there are many people who would gladly sacrifice their ships in the name of eliminating bots. Not to mention the satisfaction of watching a botter corp fail.

@OP, yeah its a bot. Blow him up. Its a Navy Raven. Scan him down in a mission and suicide gank him. Shouldn't take more than a dozen Catalysts. If the loot fairy i kind, you might make out and a botter gets what he deserves.

Andski, how short your memory is.

The links between CCP and Russia are well-documented. CCP took a a rather large loan from Siminn, which is owned entirely by Exista, which is owned by the same two companies, Shapburg Ltd and Quenon Investment Ltd., that also own the Russian state diamond company ALROSA and Alfa Bank of Russia. Both (Shapburg and Quenon) are registered in Luxembourg and incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.

At this point I think the link between Russian money and CCP is clear.

Now read this.

Not saying anything. No allegations of wrong-doing. Just posting links. But to deny that Russia doesn't have a financial stake in CCP is at best uninformed when the proof is right there. Admittedly, the amount of cash (20,000,000 USD) involved is relatively small compared to the billions those companies have elsewhere.

Also, in a recent change to CCP's ToS, the old policy was quoted and specifically stated that employees or representatives of Siminn were specifically off-limit to impersonation. I use the past tense because the new ToS no longer mentions Siminn employees or representatives.

Do you seriously think that botters pay subscriptions?


Do you seriously think the plex they buy wasn't bought with real money by someone else

I missed the part where we afforded unreproachable legitimacy to the details of the OP's story.

Bots are legal now as long as you do it by proxie. You have to do it through IS Boxer, prefferably with a hundred accounts.

I use ISBoxer for bombers. There's absolutely no automation involved, its actually extremely difficult just to the do the most basic things, at least in PvP.

Siminn was an investor in CCP in the year 2000, and the bond offering was more of the same, and its also plainly a bond that was offered on the Icelandic market, and picked up by a traditional Icelandic institutional investor just like the original funding of CCP was, so whoever owns Siminn is probably irrevelent, its still doing what it always did, and the purpose of the bond was to fund ongoing work on DUST.

Tinfoil to aisle 4.

In any case we are discussing a bot. If some shady Russian gangsters owned EVE, they would be stamping down on bots to sell you plexes.Roll
