I thought it was pretty obvious, how is CCP gonna get paid, without botting, or having their own RMT.


i would find it pretty funny if CCP wouldn't trade with real money. So yeah they definately got RMT going on there, what a shocker...



You're both idiots. You're correct in the sense that CCP RMT's in the form of PLEX, but to suggest a company is a)botting themselves and b) actively involved in the illegal RMT trade is beyond pants-made-of-tinfoil-on-head-********.

If CCP was involved in such things, why would they bother botting when they could just "magic" the ISK into existence, and why would they sell ISK through illegal channels when they do very well with PLEX? Not to mention the shitstorm and PR disaster it would create if ever found. Next you'll be sprouting crap about how it's actually CCP hacking accounts and stealing people's assets.

So please, stop throwing pant's on head ****** accusations out there without [citation]


you are the idiot here. every ******* company on our planet is engaged in RMT, do you even know for what RMT stands? REAL MONEY TRADING... ever seen a company who doesnt trade with real money? i didnt...



to make it even more obvious for the not so gifted people: my post was making fun of the fact that rodyas said CCP would have their own RMT, ofc they do, they are a company afterall. Everyone trades with real money...


edit: and for your information CCP doesn't sell isk through plex, they sell gametime. still for real money but i think we already (finally) established that ofc CCP trades with real money

Actually, no. Reporting them doesn't do anything.

Been reporting the same mining bots for 3 months now, repeatedly, every time I see them in local. Nothing.



Did you ever stop to think that perhaps they are still there because they are NOT bots?



Nope. They bots, smartass.
Here's one 'family' - but these are only the ones I've popped - no doubt others out there, or names I've forgotten.

'Generated' name patterns. Similar Birthdates. Identical Fits. Convo autorejected.
Once set up, mine all day until DT.
Blow them up, and the pods fly too and fro until DT (until I pod them).
Bot has 'fingers' in every several regions, as I've seen the same patterns in Smodab's killboard and he operates in a different region.

Been reporting them for 3 months now. And they are still active, without a visible break. Probably mining right now.
I pop them whenever I get a chance, but unfortunately its impossible to automate ganking.

Would be fun to use the Orca-suicide exploit to gank them repeatedly without losing a single Tornado, but
a) unlike cheating miners, cheating gankers get permabanned.
b) unlike them, I would actually care a bit if I lost my account.

I have reported at least 20 bots while I was down there. I didn't bother reporting every day because I don't think multiple reports help anyone.

To combat bots CCP has to limit the time that you can spend with ratting or mining. There should be a time account that represents the amount of hours that a player is allowed to rat or mine. Per subscribed month 100 hours should be added to that time account. The account should have a cap of 200 hours.

It would heavily reduce the effectiveness of bots while not causing a problem for normal players. No normal player will rat or mine for more than 100 hours per month regularly. It wouldn’t even be a problem for a player that wants to play a lot for maybe two weeks while he is on vacation as he could just consume the accumulated 200hours within those two weeks.

Some people never learn, Ms. Repose. We'll be here ten years from now with botting outrage posts.

The right to free speech doesn't automatically carry with it the right to be taken seriously.
