The new CCP has ZERO interest in banning and removing bots.

speculate about CCP's motives however you want (serious interest in fighting bots? or just creating some good news for FanFest?) - but fact is that CCP unleashed a major banwave against bots over the last few days with most bans apparently hitting during today's downtime.

Andrew Wiggin‏@EnderCapitalG: So CCP went through and hit a lot of hbot users today. Don't run them 23.5/7 next time guys
Andrew Wiggin‏@EnderCapitalG: Oh man. Just talked to several bot users and they said they were only hit with a 14 day ban

What is it with all the hypocricy with the goons?

They are reporting so called bots but they refuse to report their own bots or renters bots.

For example, click on a couple of those systems and check the stats.

If ccp would really want to make a point of this they could destroy the goon economy wih a finger click

I dont want to take away the fun of high sec miner ganking but please dont use it to justify your own illegal activities

You mean those 400 new shobon newbies that came in the last SA recruitment drive are actually ratting ? Get the CSM on the phone, something must be done.

Hypocracy in EVE? Are you KIDDING ME???
Why...that's unbelievable. After all, CCP being a corp and all...
Integrity being the watchword of...
"You can take us at our word..."
...the customer is always....

Now I know I'm cutting off my hair and joining a nunnery.
(You guys can all come along. We'll reinvent religion.
We can blame CCP for their example to us in life...
the universe...
and EVERYTHING!!)

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Hello, Lady Spink of Pator Tech School.

I, too, enjoy using dotlan. One cool feature of dotlan is that it shows you the number of jumps in a given system, right next to where it shows you the NPC kills. Now, I admit that I do not have any actual botting experience so I may be completely wrong here, but it strikes me as a reasonable assumption based on actually living in the region in question, that in a nullsec region where hostiles roam quite often, bots jumping from system to system is probably a bad idea.

Or maybe it's a good idea, if you like to kill bots. Because that's what would happen.

So I guess all those bots you assert are responsible for the NPC kill stats must be ratting away while newbies fly back and forth in rifter blobs to cover up the bots' tracks with inflated jump stats.

Or we could just have a large alliance with lots of active players in many time zones who actually rat, because many of them are new and need the cash.

But hey, you keep on clicking that dotlan while you shoot rocks and dream of that great beyond.

The sad thing is they'll probably do it, since they went back and edited out Fon Revedhort's comments that revealed him to be a white supremacist.

And there you go. as a Goon you have access to high sec and to your own little empire in 0.0.

In high sec, you are the ones, right clicking on toons and select "bot report". No problem, because if someone is a bot.. fine, its a bot.

However there is nearly no one jumping in or out those systems protected by Goonswarm because it is pretty hard to get there as an outsider. So there is no one who does the right click and select: "bot report".

Anyways. I understand your luxurous position and i wish i had the same position and if i where you i would do exactly the same. kill easy targets, call it, bot reporting so everyone believes you are the heroes of the game and meanwhile have your nice quiet empire do its work.

Oh, so you believe, that all you killed are bots?

It doesn't really matter. you figured out very nicely how to do efficient ganking in high sec.

If you would really care about bots, you would not touch them but report them. However, you would get bored soon and that is why you do high sec ganking.

From my point of view the system is broken. someone with -10 should not be allowed in high sec areas, not even with their pod.

Someone who keeps on killing irl. would also get some death penalty in some countries.

The only reason why you guys are doing is, is to remove the focus from your own 0.0 sec bots. and i must say. it works pretty good. CCP doesn't care about what's happening in the 0sec territories.

Are you freaking kidding me? How many times do we have to say it?

Outsiders wander through our region all the time. In fact, that's why botting there would generally be a bad idea.

If you really have been playing this game long enough to "know" all the stuff you think you know, then you should have the skills to fly a covops up to Deklein and report all these alleged bots and shut down Goonswarm forever! (Do your evil laugh now.)
