EVE Information Portal

it was awesome DEV-BLOG about account security.
but, i recommend adding EVE Online SSO feature is safe at 'same username' things. for make rock solid, crystal clear.

Effective immediately, we are also offering amnesty for ISK buyers who come clean by emailing security@ccpgames.com with actionable evidence of people selling ISK. Such information should include:

What you bought
When you bought it
From whom you bought it
Proof of purchase – we’ll correlate with our own in-game logs. Usually your proof of purchase or receipt will include all of the 3 items above.
For your honesty and cooperation, which is sincerely appreciated, you will not be banned. Other actions will be determined on a case by case basis.

We want to point out that this is not intended to encourage anyone to go and buy ISK – if you have already then you can come forward with actionable information and receive amnesty as described above. Repeat offenders who have previously utilized the amnesty program will of course not be viewed in such a positive light.

We also want to draw attention to the “PLEX for Snitches” program which permits us to reward players with PLEX if they send us reliable and actionable information about security related issues. For more details on this please go here.

This is a joke! if you really are going to let people get away with it just by admitting it then wtf are you doing as a company?

IF You do RMT you deserve to get banned and have your wallet negatived full stop! none of this amnesty BS, i spend my hard money on plex to support you as a company and to to help myself out with isk or would you raver me go and purchase it off a RMT? i highly doudt you would want me to do that and you want my IRL money ccp so sort your stuff out!

Really great work on eliminating RMT!!

But the rest of this blog is just so vague! Even the 'useful summaries' are not useful.



What is an unfair benefit/advantage?
Is using EFT or PYFA an unfair benefit/advantage?
Is using a spreadsheet to help with industry calculations an unfair benefit/advantage?
Is using a more tailored app like Eve Mentat or ISK per hour an unfair benefit/advantage?
This really needs clarifying properly!



Again, what is unfair benefit/advantage?
What applications are tolerated and what are not?
There are some very advanced applications that use the CREST API to make industry much more viable to their users - in fact I would say that if you don't use a tool, doing manufacturing profitably is very difficult. They certainly give benefits and advantages but are they fair?

CCP please help me understand.

This is pretty clear however it does not contain anything about PLEX codes. I have seen many a Twitch broadcaster use PLEX codes on give always to its subscribers. However it seems to be a gray area that they still use to avoid getting banned for RMT of PLEX.

Can I get a clarification on this?

Okay, so overlays from other eve instances inside one instance are now a no-no, because it allows access to too much intel.

I'm not asking this to be pedantic, I actually want to get a clear idea of where the line is being drawn. Is it getting more information simultaneously than other players, or is it getting that information in the display of a single eve instance?



Can we get clarification on the use of third-party software and/or windows 10 functionality to allow simultaneous view of multiple eve clients at the same time, provided there is no information included from one instance of eve inside another?

In other words, if I use a third-party program or windows 10 to have 4 instances of eve displayed on my main monitor and a single on a second monitor, allowing me to view 5 instances simultaneously, but each instance has no information from another instance inside its respective window, is this cool?

Alternatively, if I use no third-party programs, but have a 4K monitor and an extra wide monitor, and use these to display 4 and 2 instances on each monitor respectively (by resizing the EVE windows), is this okay? Functionally, i'm actually getting 1 more eve instance visible than under the third-party option, but it does require more expensive hardware.


Please clarify. Thanks!

didn't they say that isboxer is screen management tool?

also it overlay this overlay that - so what is the f.... overlay in CCP terms?

this?

Repeating what others asked: Can you please clarify the legality of software like on top replica and eve-o-preview?

If you forbid those, what is about having multiple monitors?

This is far too wide to be considered an enforceable policy. Under this policy it's easy to argue that applications like siggy and tripwire are not allowed, because they give an advantage of being able to see a map of all systems while people that don't use it won't be able to. You're also basically saying "get a second monitor" if you want to be able to look at 2 clients at the same time. We're playing eve, a game where multi-boxing is allowed and encouraged, but unless you have 2 monitors you're only allowed to look at one at a time? I'm hoping you'll clarify "unfair advantage" and rethink the overlay decision. Needed to purchase a second monitor to look at more then 1 client at the same time is ridiculous.

You guys need to bite the bullet and come up with a 3rd party whitelist. By the letter of the law you've written here, something like "EVE-O Preview" is ban-worthy but I find it completely impossible to believe that is actually your intention. Your policies about this stuff are usually pretty reasonable but I am pretty shocked at this one, given that it offers inferior functionality to just having a bunch of monitors and a nice video card. Is it CCP's intention to reward RL-wealthy people who can afford expensive rigs and many monitors by nerfing us more casual folks who already are dedicating our gaming budgets to just paying for account subs rather than expensive hardware? I love this game, I'm on a shoestring student budget and I dedicate all of my gaming budget for three monthly subscriptions right now. If you're telling me to go **** myself for only having one monitor then I've got to consider cancelling my other subs. Honestly this bit of your policy update just seems completely out-of-touch with your playerbase.

Same for isBoxer windows management where one can view smaller versions of multiple clients on one screen while having the "real client" on another screen.

I'm not a win10 user, but AFAIK it does the same, out of the box.

Literally the same as having multiple monitors.






This is so vague, its pretty hilarious. Like most support stuff in Eve could fall under that, Eve-appraisal, Dotlan, and a long etc.
