Remove Local - The #1 most effective RMT deterrent. It costs nothing. It's quick. It requires only rewriting one bit from 1 to 0.


Ummm... What? I just woke up and I'm not sure if this is just a joke.


lol it is. No one is stupid enough to think that. Have more faith in EVE players than that. :-P

These things I feel would greatly reduce the ability of the RMT merchants and show that the CSM takes the issue of RMT seriously.

And CCP won't do it.


This is actually a really good point. If I were to support the removal of local for any reason it would be this. If CCP were to remove local then I would go on regular roams to hunt and kill bots as would many others.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

Remove local in 0.0. Even just delay it a few minutes.

The players will do the rest.


That's all.


But then I fear seedy types will be, uh, makin' a little trip to Iceland. You know. A vacation or somethin' like that. Yeah. Dat's it. A trip. Go see the, uh... ice. Yeah. The ice.

Actually no, it's not a joke. Local is what many bots depend upon to determine if the people in system are friends or something else. WIthout local they can't do this except by use of Dscan which does not include adequate information to make a reliable determination of friend or foe. In a busy system it would result in false positives.

Without local the bots can't detect a threat in system as soon as it enters system giving them time to warp to SS and cloak or go offline or dockup.

That assumes the bots aren't using a haxed client that doesn't rely on the constraints of an intact client that the rest of us use. I've seen some rather interesting things about haxed eve clients floating around the net. But, CCP should be able to determine quite easily if a client connecting to tranquility if tampered with or even not of CCP's making.

Don't ban me, bro!
