Crime & Punishment

Certainly one of the weirder threads I have ever read.

While the stalking appears equivalent to some paranoid neighborhood watch, I must say, that claiming that ones children is helping you to farm a boring Eve-O complex over and over, is the most mind blowing lie I have read in a while. Unless these are not your biological children, and you have tied them down, of course.

Lol....

I am going to use it for this reason

It's my understanding that you can set a bot up to leave if it reads someone is in the same system as them.
A human player can leave when someone is in the same system as them

It's also my understanding you can set up a bot to leave if a non NPC pilot attacks them.
A human player can leave if a non NPC pilot attacks them

It is further my understanding that any knowledgeable player, specially one who has been playing for over three years and Pilots Tengus and Ishtars, will, when faced, no matter if fitted for PVE or PvP, will stand and fight against a paper thin tank like an SB, fitted with nothing but torps that don't have any range past 37km, specially when they are also fielding Ogre IIs.
A human player who has zero desire for PVP, and no experience or skill at it, and is flying an expensive PVE fitted ship, will warp off when ANY PVP target engages. You may be paper thin, but would they really want to stick around and see, risking being pointed, then popped by your buddies who fleet warp to you in non-paper-thin ships? If they know ANYTHING about PVP in EVE, they likely know that blobbing is common. Why would you risk an expensive boat that's not set up for PVP to test that theory? Go to nullsec and enter a ratting system, see how many of those PVP'ers will stay put to engage a SB

Forgive me if I am assuming too much, but I don't really think I am at all, I think it's fairly obvious. Another point, if I do nothing and just sit there, the botting pilot/toon/character does nothing until I do, if I wardeced someone, and they were in the same exact room of a complex as I was, I would either immediately commit to a fight, or I would gather my drones while they were still at range, and warp out before they got into range. Just to find them I had to log my pilot out in that system, then log a noob toon not in my corp and wait for the bots to show up, then log my wardecced pilot in, and almost always they warp out right away.
Obviously this player is in it for the profit. If this person warped off any time anyone was in the same room of their plex, that would disrupt their play, and eat into that profit. My question is, if you're shooting at her to get her to engage, why aren't you getting a point first?

And remember, she wardeced me, I did not wardec her.
Seems like a fair attempt at trying to posture and intimidate you to leave her alone, since obviously she doesn't care to PVP with you and you're annoying her.

Had to laugh, and laugh and laugh and laugh so hard I nearly passed out!

Feya Kortimna has been killed and a bounty of the sum of 37,773,864 ISK been claimed.

Sometimes we become emotionally attached to our arguments and we can't see past what we want to believe because, like a PvP fight, we already have committed to it.

I will say this, I am absolutely convinced beyond a doubt, myself, that Feya is running toons through the plex that would be considered bots by the definition that botting is the act of using a computer program to do what otherwise a human being would be doing, i.e. pressing buttons, moving the mouse, etc. With that being said, I realize I could be wrong. My advantage in this is that I have played another MMORPG the first in fact, since it's beta, over 15 years and have seen bots, made bots, operated bots and killed toons that were operating as bots. This with the fact that I have observed and interacted with Feya's toons and can see they do not react as a human would, and the fact my background is in psychology lead me to believe, beyond any doubt, that these toons Feya is using are in fact bots.

That doesn't mean she doesn't play them, or answer questions in local once in awhile, or doesn't do anything that proves she is at the helm, because she does, specially when she first logs them on, and when she logs them out.

But all anyone that doubts my conclusions has to do is simply observe her when they die down to normal, do what I have done and others that make that area of space their home when they encounter her. I said before to go on the assumption I am wrong, and to see for yourselves what the truth is by interacting with Feya's toons, this was not meant to lend credence to what I was saying, but to get others opinions after seeing what she is doing, how frequently, etc.

Since this thread has been posted, she has not been frequenting the plex, and I suspect the reason is that she is like others have stated, an extreme carebear and is afraid of what this thread and all talking on this will mean for her expensive shiny ships. Although she had no problem spending 370 mil on my bounty, I don't really think she is hurting for isk, scanning her ships holds prove she flies her bots around with sometimes millions worth of mods and BPCs obtained from the plex, I still think the thought of ###EDITED WAS loosing THE CORRECT SYNTAX IS losing### her expensive Ishtars makes her cringe.

Until you have personally observed her toons botting, I wouldn't expect anyone to just take my word for it, what I have presented here are my experiences alone, and most of the people posting in this thread do not know me in the slightest. I am just some Joe Blow posting on a thread bitching about botting because I am not getting the named NPCs or the structure.

But check it out, and then explain how I am wrong, if I am wrong I will take my pill and swallow it, I have no problem being proved wrong because learning to me is more important than my pride being damaged because I was proven wrong. And if I am right, I would be glad for the confirmation.

I also appreciate the communities response on this, the discussion and the debate, it all has value. I am finding EVE one of the most socially complex games I have ever encountered with aspects found nowhere else.
