And how many bots are there lately?

I have not bothered to count, I am not even sure I can count high enough as I only have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. They do seem to be returning in mass though, shame I was so encouraged by the war on bots talk and the noticeable results shortly after. I could list quite a few here though if proof is needed providing that is not against CCP forum rules.

Don't list them to us. List them to CCP via "report bot". To convince us, tell us the system, time they tend to be on and what activity they are doing. Any interested player can then go see for themselves.

Are u sure they are bots?

What makes you think they are?

Well, there is one good way to tell if a person is botting, their toon is on 23/7 or pretty damn close to it.

Already done, I mentioned them to someone else in local and they also confirmed that they had also reported them serveral times over. It seems to be falling on deaf ears, unless it just takes a very long time to investigate them?

But... you can only notice if *you* are 23/7 also... which will make you a bot also.

Although like I say I could be wrong, but this is what makes me and others who have reported them think they are bots. Just to clarify I am talking about what I beleive are mission bots.

Exumers you could bump and see if there's no reaction. Still could be AFK miner, not bot. But you mentioned mission bot. That's something else....

I have seen angry ninjas accuse mission runners of being bots because the mission runners didn't fall for the trick and didn't shoot back. Ignoring the ninja is not the same as being a bot.

Can you tell me more info on the ones you spotted (no names of course, forum-friendly info)

Don't have much more info to tell on top of what I have already provided, other than they all seem to fly CNR's .......

Don't have much more info to tell on top of what I have already provided, other than they all seem to fly CNR's which is annoying as they require more players to gank over Tengu's (I think, I am no ganking expert).

When a few of us decided to try and scan them down in missions and trigger all the spawns and then bump their CNR's to death before it could warp we noticed this was not easy as they all seemed to be blitzing the easier level 4 missions. This meant by the time a fleet member had scanned them out (someone who is good at scanning) the CNR's were usually already leaving the pocket. The odd time we did catch one because of the mission and lack of rats in the missions they choose to run the plan would not of worked anyway.

Solar system name?

Your mate suck at scanning. But you are on the right track tho... You just have to:

1. Scan faster (tip... ship id will be the same)
2. Steal the mission item.

Will try harder always room for improvement. I can assure you my mate is quick to scan them out and we know the ID will always be the same . The mission item sounds interesting how does that work? I am not sure that the missions they are choosing to run have an item to steal I will investigate that further though.

Go to Nibainkier 0.7 right now, you'll see 4 guys, in the same corp, Prokopoff. They all started the same day, and they are on pretty much 23/7. They don't have names, they have combos of letters and numbers instead and in sequence.

They are bots. I'll post their names if you like.

I'm not familiar with the region so I can't tell you from the top of my mind which missions have mission item. But the way you do this is by checking the rats and the mission collidables...

This page could be of great help...

Even if there's no mission item, you could kill the rats and deny them the bounties.

If you are willing to lose a ship, neut them to cap death. Then the rats will finish them off.

you dont mean the monk guy with his rattlers and noctis?

no monks... zz's

Yep. They'll dock up when a ganker appears in their system that is on their list and stay docked until the ganker leaves.
