HyperZerg	Posted - 2009.08.20 14:55:00 - [1] Why does CCP ingore Botters/Macros not involved in RMT ? All RMT-Related cheats/abuses getting banned for sure. They cost CCP Money. The other botters are left alone, because they generate $$$ for CCP. [Plex have to been bought too]. P.s. The directionalscanner nerf makes it even harder to kill the botters out there in deep 0.0 space. [hard to scann out in what belts they where]

Bootius McGee	Posted - 2009.08.20 14:58:00 - [3] Asking why CCP does or does not do something is like asking an otter existential question. You will never get a satisfactory answer simply because one does not exist. It just "is".

Adunh Slavy Ammatar Trade Syndicate	Posted - 2009.08.20 15:05:00 - [5] Cause they are not involved in RMT ... Besides, I bet a lot of them are not bots, but someone with two accounts. The PVP main camps the gate, and the other account makes ISK. It is possible to manage two Eve accounts rather easily. I know people that PVP with two accounts. Hate meeting those people. :) The Real Space Initiative - V5 (Forum Link)

HyperZerg	Posted - 2009.08.20 15:12:00 - [8] Sure you can run more then 1 accout ;) BUT, if you warp in the belt he wars, log out, wait 10 sec log in again and he warps in the next belt in the list. And so on and so on. Also, you rat in belts 23/7 ? Maybe with 2 accounts all the time ? Let's check if here happens the same like in Lineage 2. There they banned the peaople complaining about botters, because the botters generate more $$$ then the players that complain...

Also, erm, we flatter ourselves that CCP has the man hours to actually investigate individual macro use. I mean. Yeah right. Kinda like the war on drugs, you go after the big boys and everyone else laughs and points.
Tom Peeping	Posted - 2009.08.20 15:26:00 - [10] honestly I don't think they do. I know that I had an alt who I kept mining. I was fairly on top of the ball, and was doing the same large roids, so I had several trips in and out of station which took almost identical times for every step. (i.e. the sort of thing which could potentially be flagged for macro) After a while of this, I was suddenly placed out in the middle of space. I had to warp back to my bookmark to re-start mining. I doubt it was a desynch because I've desynched before and it was nothing like this. I kinda wonder if my account was being checked to see if it was a macro by putting me in a situation which would "break" the macro... or at least make it so that something would happen which would be obviously odd, since the macro would attempt to function in a circumstance it was not designed for. I'm not so sure that just because there's no public announcements as to what's going on, (which incidentally warn macroers of what to avoid) that they are therefore doing nothing.

Corozan Aspinall	Posted - 2009.08.20 15:59:00 - [11] Funny you mention that, I had my ship randomly take off at max velocity and had asteroids unlock themselves too during extended mining sessions.

Xtreem Gallente Knockaround Guys Inc. Exxxotic	Posted - 2009.08.20 16:15:00 - [13] people take macro talk too far most of the time. I have a miner in hi sec, that I use when camping gates, waiting for hostile to form or waiting for WT's etc on my main if I had 1000isk for everyone that said it was macro mining I would have no need to mine! I'd be rich lol.
Mashie Saldana BFG Tech	Posted - 2009.08.20 16:18:00 - [14] Originally by: HyperZerg Why does CCP ingore Botters/Macros not involved in RMT ? The ones involved in RMT are a lot easier to track down as they can follow the ISK trail. Just petition the ones you find.
Grox	Posted - 2009.08.20 16:45:00 - [15] 17199 cargo with rigs i warp my hulk guy in hi sec to some veldspar start mining and with passive shields never look at the rats. i dont need to alt tab to him for 15 min or not even for an hour if i dont care to just warp him back to station. most arnt macros just alt tabbers. another case i or others have severral accts of ravens users all in diff spots of eve. trouble i ss up go other side of galaxe rat some the rinse repeat. there are many ways in eve to enjoy several accts with barely any mouse clicking etc going on, eve is button easy to play. so gl tossing all of those guys u think are macros when 90 perc of them are just way better than u have more computers and accts than u.
