EVE Information Portal

Questions in here not serious enough for response? Well, I guess go ahead and kill first, ask questions later I suppose. We shall see how well eve functions when half the player base containing 2/3 of the accounts are banned. Cause space aint empty enough.

7 more days on 90% of my accounts. Not even going to bother paying for the next subs until there is clarification on what will and wont be allowed, and the detection methods you're using.

what is drone assist.

You could probably allow us overcome the need for 3rd party stuff if you gave us the tools.

I mean you've killed pvp to the point that people won't fly alone and always require n+1 so you are indirectly forcing people to use tools to be able to control two characters easily.

Or because gates are choke points you are forcing people to sit there split screen providing eyes on what targets are coming through the gate. With a little love you to the game you would reduce the need for people to use such tools.

yea ccp, can this guy get an answer please?

He wasn't assisting drones.

I'd be fine with this, except for one thing: If that is what they mean, why don't they put that into their effing rules the way they mean it? If they were to ban me just now for running two client windows next to each other, I couldn't even ***** about it, because I accepted their rules, and the rules state that getting intel from multiple clients without switching windows is a no-no.

If you lawyer the **** out of the EULA the way it is written now, basically everything you can do in Eve is technically a bannable offense, which is downright stupid. Actually, there's not even much lawyering required on some parts. One of my favourites is this one:

"You may not transfer, sell or auction, or buy or accept any offer to transfer, sell or auction (or offer to do any of the foregoing), any content appearing within the Game environment, including without limitation characters, character attributes, items, currency, and objects, other than via a permitted Character Transfer as described in section 3 above."

If that is so, what the deuce is the market, the trade window and the contract system for?

If I were to give one of you a stack of Mining Laser I through a trade window, I think we can all agree that would be a transfer of items, right? Well ****, we just violated the EULA. I did because I offered to transfer an item, and you did because you accepted it. Tough luck!

I'll refrain from expecting any meaningful response to this abortion of a devblog. It offers zero clarification.
In other news, going to try and make it out to the meetup this weekend.

Also the graph, it's not just useless, it's wrong. Their ban and EULA enforcement policies are clearly designed to achieve a log reduction in RMT, but they only predict a gradual linear reduction? A linear reduction is the result you get when the RMT'ers get bored of how much they're making and gradually move to other games.

Doesn't it say that already?

The good thing is, CCP is a business that makes games for profit. They follow money and love customers. We're customers, and right/wrong they're gonna wanna keep getting those dank RL bucks.

I bet they do. I'll just keep believing then.


Fake Edit: CCP is a company that made ONE game they mysteriously turned into a profit.There, FTFY
Actual Edit: Nope! Not gonna stop believing again!
