well ok maybe it wouldn't work for market bots so good but macro ratter definitely bounties received over a span of 16 hours (very generous imo) should get account flagged for investigation. You know GM turns up to clear drones/probes off a gate camp because some dude whines about it? Why can't they take a few mins to check a bot?!!?

I reported so many dudes and I usually add them to contact list. tramalius, atfaster and the rest of the bots in in Idilios Corp, Red Citizens (now a different corp in RC but same ceo) I reported almost 3 months ago. Still botting near 23/7 in QN-6J2 and adjacent systems (he has 2 sets of character he cycles for ~12 hours to try avoid suspicion). Same thing NK-AOZ constellation, Geminate. Bot farm still going strong. How do I know they bot? I use blue spy alt to awox and I can say with 100% certainty whether they are botting.


You're in null-sec - why not pod them? Dead bots don't bot.

For the record i am not a bot!

nor do i condone botting,

but just because someone looks like they are a bot doesnt mean that they are. there are alot of players who work the market/buy/sell etc and create those beer markets etc.

its just simple market manipulation... not necessarially bots...

You're welcome.

What, you mean, you don't like how much they do, or how often they do it, or their efficiency at doing it ?
That's another story.


Typically flippant Akita T answer.

They don't do enough and anyone that spends 5 minutes travelling through 0.0 knows so.


I spent more than 5 minutes in 0.0 (check my employment history) and I don't know so.

Legalise it, problem solved.
