EVE General Discussion

They have come to a conclusion that there is a acceptable ammout of botting needed to keep EvE working.

---

CCP Sreegs assured the CSM that botting/RMT'ing is still being handled with the same frequency as it has been in the past, and in fact there is no significant increase (or decrease) in the frequency of bots.


No decrease, that's like saying its a good the the **** rate has stayed the same. No decrease is a BAD thing.

and ONWARD to the next point.

The CSM questioned if dealing with certain types of bots should be given priority – specifically nullsec ratting bots. The CSM argued that null-sec ratting bots greatly affect the state of null-sec PvP, as null-sec ratting is an important component in null-sec PvP. CCP Sreegs did not dismiss the notion of prioritization of one bot over another, but he and CCP Unifex cautioned that relying on anecdotal data was dangerous. To properly prioritize bot-hunting, they argued, it would be necessary to better
quantify the effect of various bots.



What i'm getting from is if a bots creating content for the game it might not be removed AS soon as a bot that's not.

The CSM security portion left me feeling as if there only worried about the RMTers and not the people who bot for themselves.


ALL Bots are bad CCP you cant be picky.

and if

With this notion in mind, Sreegs explained how he plans to handle what he believes to be a pressing
problem with Eve-related security - identity authentication, or IDAuth. IDAuth, simply put, is CCP
knowing who owns an account within EVE. While two-factor identification would be effective,
Sreegs noted that the EVE player base would be reluctant to give more information to CCP than
required, and such his solution is simply e-mail verification.


SO what if someone is that freaked out about giving out info to prove there not cheating at EvE well there ether unhealthily paranoid or want to hide there cheating.

As if a goon can be trusted.

Was that in iambic pentameter ? *lol*
as IF a GOON can BE trustED.

Don't mind me, i'm trying to figure this out.

Today i've seen that my petition about bots in a belt finally got answered.
It was ... i think ... two weeks old, if not even longer.

They were definitly bots, because the pods of ganked miners don't just
warp station<->belt for fun and joy.

There is nothing that we can do, but hunt them down and force them to just leave the game ... forever.
(that sounds right ... hm...)
Nothing else we can do,

Bots ruin EVE.

So do the losers who buy ISK.

Actually if bots increase PLEX prices, that is worse for CCP.

3 PLEX cost more than a 3 month sub (most popular sub choice).

Lower PLEX cost would mean more people using it instead of subbing through CC which would mean more money for CCP.



That is if bots lead to an increase in PLEX prices. I don't have data to comment on that bit.

So your forgetting the fact that most RMT merchants use stolen credit card / fraudulent banking details to purchase PLEX which in turn means that CCP get zero income from them.

Also all those BPO's and Ships which are sold being sold for RL Money, that is also taking money from CCP pockets.

So yes, CCP do not ban bots because of the subs they pay

this is like people who are against guns, people use bots, bots do not use people!! ban people, don't hurt the innocent bots.

If only their was a way to gank them.

I was shure it was cause mittens told them not to......

I know, right?

Because you can't gank in hisec, after all...
