No one anymore, it seems.
Not trying to be a **** but given the only example I put forth was Blizzard and you said "not anymore" I have to ask "When DID Blizzard value art over money?"
Maybe their first ever game or something but even then, Im betting you there was a price tag attached to it
But that did not stop blizzard from actually taking both in game and legal action against the botters.

Really whine topics ?
Anyone can do it really if you are bit technical you can do it no problem.
It is not like you need possibility all people have the possibility.
The sad true is that CCP does not care about this as long as they paid through the plex system.
ONLY thing that has woken them up is bad press on review sites. Worked with the loag should be done again and on a more massive scale.

Funny:
most bots scan local for words like "bot" "botter" "macro" all 5-10 minutes. Type this to a local chat where you suppose botters and watch 10 ppl log out 5mins later synchron:p
....
and log in 30min later synchron too :(
I've noticed this too.
If CCP isn't going to take swifter, more concrete standards on the issue.. they basicly are telling us, they want the cash bot subs produce for the company. Reguardless that it ****s over the entire economy of EVE, which is the foundation of this game. Reguardless if it ****s over nullsec into an arms race of cycling top 3 alliances.. which really does create a large stignant mass of space that borders on boredom.
Until CCP hands over the tools to us to handle the problem ourselves.. like delayed local in null, and a growing stiff mining/bounty taxes in NPC corps to eventually force them into wardec'able corps in highsec..
We should do our part til then. Instead of mentally fap'ing off to our beautiful posting and arguing about what CCP should do...
Flood CCP with legit petitions first off.
Secondly, if I knew how.. I'd make a site. Solely dedicated to plastering the names of suspected and confirmed macros for all to see.. and the main characters that control them. Lets expose who is doing what.. Expose which of the major alliances, and just how much they are using bots to fuel their war machines. Smear them through the mud.. its drama.. drama creates interest, interest that note-worthy blogs and interweb articles pick up on and report. Then..
Like 18 months..
You can expect CCP to act swiftly and do something about it.
Til then.. best pray EVE doesn't go sour like every single MMO that has ignored severe bot problems.. and EVE's bot problems are even more serious to its envirnoment than the other games...
This is not a player driven economy because of bots.
Nullsec is not what it could be.. because bots fuel and create the super-cap fleets that exist today. Imagine.. Imagine the effects on supers if bot miners/ratters were entirely removed.. the 'bring supers or go home' problem solved, without actually nerfing the ships. Because losing one would end up hurting a whole, whole lot more than it does now.
Did that, got answer telling me that thex have not the ressources to investigate. gave them 300 botters + links to sites where corps adtvertises for bot freindly 0.0.
oh, and if you post name of botters you will get banned for harrassment, sad, but true.
Send the list to a 3rd party site with the GM comments on How they do not have resources to publish ?

Reading the posts above I have some comments.
As to limit the amount of PLEX per computer.
That is just silly either remove the PLEX completely OR Keep it without silly limitations.
No matter how hard you try there is a way around the IP
[most botters use proxy services anyhow and they are quite smart about it]
You can even go as far as to run virtual machines to run the bots and similar craziness.
Only solution that would work [not prefectly but it would] is to introduce punkbuster typ of software
That would have to run with each instance of the client. Added Checksum protection check if the protection
software has not been altered that is checked upon each login is also possible.
Activity logs red flagging for excessive 7 hour + stretches of online time maybe a popup after tha time with loggin off
if not reacted upon.
Redflagged account currrency transaction tracked down and accounts that bought isk banned as well.
And most importantly acting upon the reports and permabanning of accounts that would help.
I would support removing of PLEX all together btw but there is a lot of legitimate player that use those.

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for the nothing that you've told us or achieved in this area in the last 3 months
Imagine the uproar if the flaunted 60k concurrent players revealed to be 20k real players (the rest bots). Would not give an healthy picture of the game, wouldn't it? It could even show off that EvE is not growing as much as it's believed.
I have noticed that the number of the users is going down actually.
Might be mroe active accoutns but the number of logged people on average weekday is getting lower to what I remember.
