I parked my ship near Urlen solar system to scan haulers so can gank them if they have something valuable in ship.
I noticed that same haulers passing over and over again so I have added them to watch list to avoid scan them again .
Now I have 107 haulers in my watch list that doing courier missions 23/7.
All day they behave same ... I tried to follow one of them and noticed : each time they dock ,finish mission , they log out then log in and continue doing that 23 hours per day:

I will mention their names and apologize in advance if I said player name who really plays eve 23 hours per day

You really should use commas for your list; difficult to tell when one name ends and the next begins.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Clearly you're wrong.
Only nullsec has bots, the deadly nature and complex PvE of highsec is impossible to bot.

this is new to you ?? where do you think all thoes ballistic controlls come from ? there are guys with 4-5 pc's who all day run couriers missions, sell ISK for real money and with that money they pay for his kids education . Sitt down with your calculator and do the math how much one guy with 5 clients make isk per hour.

But EvE is mmorpg ,its mby oe of the best quality games atm on the market they are not however bot free, as no game is.

If you have evidence of botting report it to CCP with the report bot function.

Just remember to get details details DETAILS! Many people do distribution missions at work because it is a slow but little risk way to make funds and raise standing. That is not botting but easy to look like it is.

Just remember to gather as many details and behaviors that can help CCP identify them as a bot. They need evidence to use the ban hammer.

Someone should remind those hi sec bots, that this is a social game and a pvp one. It is unnaceptable to always be in hi sec. All those bots are ruining this game by not participating in null sec pvp.

Funny. First you get a fusillade of griping about botters. Then, you get a list of offenders and how the tune changes. Bot spotting. Should be the title of a movie.

Everyone who bitches about this OP bots. Increase the size of your list.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Umm ... I have run bots before in a game, to test the NPCs before implementing them. You don't need 4-5 computers.

All they are is scripted code that can run in a .bat file and looks like a DOS window scrolling through code. They don't load graphical features and all sorts of code such as UI and object interaction gets thrown out. For the purpose of that NPC, it knows what it does and only needs to code to do that job.

Edit: To have some idea easily, load bots in a LAN game of Counter Strike. All those characters are doing roughly the same things as players but they are running on a single client.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Add me to the list then. I don't bot, but I dislike the idea of this type of vigilante justice where somebody simply posts an accusation and names a bunch of players. They may all be bots, but there are channels for dealing with this type of ****.

All those bots won't blot out the sun. Come back when you got enough to do so

you know you should really file a petition if they are on 23/7. or try convoing them all.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

If you think they are bots, report them along with supporting evidence. If you don't care enough to do that, don't post it here.

Don't know where you came from but please go away.

Nowhere in the game description does it say that this is strictly a social game based entirely on PvP.

People have the right to play this game the way they want to play. Whether it's doing PvE in high sec or PvP in nul sec.



For the first year or so of playing this game, I was on-line 23/7 doing missions in high sec. As for there being bots in-game, gather evidence and report it.

Funny how the OP states that he tried to follow one of them. I say that his evidence is inconclusive and circumstantial at best.
