Hello.

First of all I'd like to tell that this post follows all the rules described in "Forum rules" and it is not intended to create any discussion about my ban's neither this post will include "private communications" (but if you ever receive them you will clearly understand how CCP works and how much it cares about their paying costumers).

I'm a programmer, so I have and use many software that could be considered and used for macroing purposes(this software includes compilers, debuggers, unpackers, etc). And at work I've had some "troubles" so to play Eve at work I've had to use VNC over ssh tunnel. I've been mining hard, using multiple accounts when I was home and just one-two at work(as it was really just afk minning and I could stay in space and don't even have an asteroid targeted for hours).

A bit more then month ago I was banned, as you may imagine, the ban was for macroing and all my accounts got lot of ISK removed(I've not used any software for macroing nor any additional software, not considering EveHQ). Without getting into details, the answer from the support team was useless and after sending a few more followups I clarified myself on my activities and how much I play and from where. The second answer for the ticket was yesterday as it got closed with similar message as the first one.

So I'd like to suggest you, fellow players, to be careful and not getting into this game, as you may just get banned for no actual reason and without getting any support from the "support team".


PS: Jita still has the ISK scammers and players who have payed for the game are the ones who are getting banned.

Hope any GM reading this post reads it to the end and checks that all rules were followed.

The short version: I got banned for botting & CCP ignored me, don't give them money anymore.

Well, there is one part that is wrong. I wasn't botting.
I still have a pending ticket, so if this time they read it and do what I've asked my account would be banned(for lifetime) or I will finally get the ISK back. In the case of ban I suppose only my Corp members will get some free stuffz.

Macros will get you banned fairly quickly as well.

You were caught botting, plain & simple. You're not getting your stuff back.

You'd have better luck convincing everyone of your innocence if you just stuck with "My cat did it."

It seams that not only CCP doens't read what I write.
I've not used macroing tools nor bots, but to cease this discussion i think the best choice is to CLOSE this post(NOT to remove it).

If only every person caught botting or using macros hadn't already tried the "I didn't do it" excuse, then someone might actually believe you. Or not.

Compilers, debuggers AND unpackers? We've got a badass over here... Next you'll tell us you've also got interpreters and IDE's... Not that any of that is relevant to the topic at hand. Or related to marcoing. Unless you used said software to write a macrotool....? For science only, of course.
