EVE General Discussion

After reading this blog :

http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=9133

It dawned on me that indeed CCP in fact are doing some great work in showing the botters just who is boss by a show of power!!

A Jovian kind of power display would have been nice but meeeh this will certainly do =D so great work CCP & great work CCP Sreegs.

I think killing RMT will be much more difficult though. The "powerful" people in this game are undoubtedly heads of the larger alliances. It is alleged that these powerful alliances and some of the more well known players do take advantage of RMT.

[ excluding the Veld God that is Chribba ]

My question is this, If this is true [I did state alleged above] how will CCP deal with this situation?

Of course there is no player/s bigger than the game but some people do carry a certain amount of weight within Eve and It's in-game infrastructure. I am however curious as to how CCP will approach this, and to that end how they will deal with this.

I'm impressed that CCP is taking steps to removing all bots within the game...

If I was going to fanfest, I'd buy the security team a round...

Keep up the good work!!!

Hopefully they mercilessly wipe them from the game. There's nothing bad about mega alliances collapsing so there should be no worries about how things go down regarding RMT bans.

You make it sound as if that would be a bad thing.

fixt for bad posting, you're right, these characters are a menace.

But these people are sad pathetic losers in life. They are addicted to a video game to the point they spend every waking hour guiding their alliance. They more than likely have no job, no income, no partner/wife, no children and living off the state on handouts. All because of a precious alliance.

An alliance in a world of pixels, something not at all real. Are pixels *really* worth losing out on life for?

I love Eve but I dis-allow it to dominate my life, I play this game for fun and nothing more. It does not consume me unlike alliance heads.

RMT is very very bad and hope CCP do indeed strike down with vengeance and furious anger because it is deserved

The day the larger alliances begin to fall because of the punishments dealt out because of there part in RMT will make for a much more enjoyable, diverse 0.0.

I hope the ban hammer swings shortly. CCP have to remember they are the super power in this game, the creator. Not some alliance head who as stated above is some life lazy lard ar$e.

Players that RMT or organised groups that RMT are really just commiting theft.

Why do I say theft, because they're taking something that belongs to someone else (CCP in this case) and selling it.

So it's good to see CCP actually hitting them hard, harder the better.

There's no excuse for RMTing by players or organised groups, so it should be dealt with harshly.

I would go as far as say delete the characters and goods, but there has to be some form of appeal unless you're really sure that no error has occured. So it would be best to freeze the account and possibly delete the character and goods after an appeal period.


Edit: Decided I needed to explain were the theft is actually taking place, it's not so much the isk (virtual currency) as the isk remains ingame and is the property of CCP. It's the lost sales of PLEX that CCP loses out on.


As for botters that don't RMT, that's also a kind of theft because they will not be paying for their account with real currency and they have no right paying with PLEX if they're generating isk through botting.

Wrong, actually. RMT is bad for business. You sell your stuff to another player and they don't have to work their way towards it through gameplay, i.e. paying for gametime.

By the time that day arrives, our last f*** will have already gone that way ----->

Alliances rise and fall constantly like the peaks and troughs of Wallstreet. But unlike Wallstreet, the failing corp/alliances are strung up high in the open air and left to rot like the fish in the pic that CCP Sreegs posted in his blog. It's just the way it is.

Well in the game such as EVE, everything you get in game can be destroyed in game.. So generally it is just an shortcut .. sort of ..

I know my view is quite controversial.


@ Sasha .. that is indeed correct..

You do not own it. But the simple act of owning is actually an idea anyway. You do not own anything in your life. Whole struggles for lands, which were the base for any historical military interventions is just laughable, you will never own an land. But that is for different discussion anyway..

What you earned you earned by commiting your time... time=money.. In this pathetic world at least.
