Hi all,
I have been gone for quite a while, and have read about CCP's war against isk selling. My question is, will they ban people for using macros to fill their own pockets with isk? I.E. I used to use a macro while I slept so I had some nice spending money in the morning. Might I get banned for this??
Thanks
Conch
P.S.- For those who hate macroers; those big ice belts are going nowhere fast. Even before CPP's banfest the 400 something miners in osmon took all day to destroy an ice belt. I doubt it'll hurt you guys much.
Ummm... So you admit to running a macro to afk mine? Wow, enjoy your ban! This game needs a lot less people like you.

Section 7.3 states:
You may not use macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play. You may not rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in any way to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or achieved in the Game.
Glad I could help! Hopefully you will get banned.

Hahaha, I know what they are. That article also referred to their legality, or rather illegality. Smash seems to want me kicked, and I don't blame him. I have displayed a lack of judgement in posting this... Is there any way to delete a thread???
I am voting op is a troll. If so, I will give you 7/10 for getting me riled up. If you are not a troll and really want the thread deleted. I suggest opening up a petition with this thread's URL and asking it to be locked/deleted. CCP will be glad to help you out in a very quick and timely fashion!

If taken to a court of law id suspect youd get youre account back and even recieve compensation for any damages
Wow... No court of law would touch a case like that, nor would any lawyer worth paying for. CCP's customers pay for a service. By paying for that service you agree to CCP's terms of use for said service. If you cannot adhere to the terms, you should not pay. CCP is well within their rights to ban anyone for anything at anytime if they deem it so. Period.
The only thing you, the OP and I pay for every month is access to the game servers. Everything else is not part of the original agreement. Read the EULA and Terms of Use.

How about you set up a company that offers internet movies for a monthly fee. AFter you get everyones money ban their account. You can say that you put in your EULA that youre not allowed to use caps. And those scumbags did!! So after you get everyones money you ban everyone and give no one anything. Let me know how that works out for you. Fact is theres more laws protecting consumers than laws protecting video game companies that want people to play a certain way.
It would be different if you never delivered a product by "banning everyone." CCP delivers a product to everyone who adhere's to the rules. Your fictional company did not deliver a product by banning everyone's account.
Besides, there is an existing case on the books where the gaming company won against a company that made botting software. A company called Blizzard successfully sued the makers of a popular botting program. Linkage
You do not own your characters, you do not own your items and ships, you do not even own the eve executable program on your computer. It ALL belongs to CCP. You pay to access the servers.
You do own your computer and all it's hardware.
Hell, you technically do not even own the OS your computer is running on (unless you are a Linux or OS X user).

As someone who went to law school and passed the bar exam. I will tell you that you will not win the case, even if you could afford to take it on.
Full disclosure: I am not a lawyer. I do have a law degree. I decided that law did not make me want to get up in the morning. I am now a computer engineer. (Took the 10 year track through college!)
