Personally I feel that folks make way too much of a big deal out of this. It hardly effects you, except for occasionally fluxuating the price of goods IN A GAME.
The worst part about this is your presentation. You used V is for Vendetta to describe RMT.
Ok. . . .
HOW IS RMT EVEN AFFECTING YOUR REAL LIFE?!?!?!?
You don't even know why those RMTs do what they do, what their motivations are. Is their mother sick with cancer from working in some ****ty factory overseas where they didn't think it was worth their time to give her protective gear to shield her from the obviously cancerous materials she was working with? Or maybe its a younger guy, and he's got a little sister, and he's pulling in extra income so she doesn't have to go work in the dupont factory to begin with, or worse, become a prostitute and serve the same ungrateful sobs that spend their time *****ing and moaning about frivilous things like RMT.
RMT has absolutely ZERO effect on your real life, and it has a 100% effect on theirs. I say, the RMT guys should get toegether and have their own V is for Vendetta speech, it would make more sense coming from their mouths than yours.

Edited by: Yana Cova on 18/02/2011 21:14:08 I dare say as this issue become more public knowledge - heck even I found about it, then if nothing is done we will be left with one of two likely outcomes:
1) More and more people start to use bots until it becomes prevalent amongst the playerbase - economic upheaval ensues and game is in spiral death mode.
2) More and people get upset as they become aware that the playing field is not level and quit out of disgust. With new fancy Incarna avatars causing influx of noobs, and fancy expansions down the line, we may have situation (1) with people joining, learning that status quo and botting themselves, or just have a turnover of noobs getting a few months in then quitting in disgust - in which case EVE will need a pretty steady influx of new people...
As for the post above mine saying that RMT is fine as it helps dolphins and orphans - good grief...

this surely is a troll [0/10]. Time to repeat it for n+1 time.
1. Plexes prices rose before ccp took action in latest patch (bots increase demand and decrease supply of plexes) 2. rmt renter alliances force out real players from many systems. rmt alliances gain unfair advantage and it leads to stupid situations of overkill when one person from alliance is multiplexing 8 supercaps / titans [-> Krutoj]. it leads to unfair advantage when alliance with relatively small active pvp player base can throw supercaps at everyone without real consequences. 3. when not dealt properly problem only grows to enormous proportions. 4. less is more in eve, due to bots and cheap minerals space is too crowded with top tier ships, supercap kill is not something big like in the past. 5. big point -> every bot while paying for subscription is decreasing directly/indirectly ccp income by many times of plex a month due to fuelling mods/isk/supercap trading for RL. expansion of botting always leads to RMT. 6. many many more bad things that i cba to write.

bots should be perma-banned, and the cheating policy should be well publicized. RMT can be dealt with by a week-long ban and 0 isking the character, but once someone knowingly downloads and uses a bot they should simply not be welcome in our game ever again.

Therefore I call all readers/posters to promote this issue in local where ever they are to educate the masses - let them work out for themselves if they care or not....

They do. Every time they delete a post about botting in another thread and point to this one as where to talk about it.
So... you're implying that they are "for it"? hehe..., darn.
see Jack and Jefferson's posts lol They care about ppl talking about it on THE FORUMS more than they care about it in THE GAME

What level playing field has there ever been? Its a time based levelling system (skill points) with no top number. Its basically like a pyramid scheme and unless you ignore the fact that the field isnt level and youll never catch up to the older players youll quit in frustration lol ----------------------------------------- If you dont learn from the past you are doomed to repeat it http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1469262&page=2#51 |

To respond re: level playing field - I am talking in terms of personal effort/ability/skill rather than automated macros/bots that just play for you , therefore negating any requirement for you to PLAY THE GAME. Thats really where I am coming from N
Now i have no idea what your experience of any other games are like but EVE is very innovative in terms of allowing new players to have a fighting chances against older players, they could choose a small agile ship that a big ship could not track etc, whereas think of WOW or EQ where a LVL 10 could not hope to do anything AT ALL against a lvl 30, 40, 50, 60 etc etc - EVE is very advanced in that respect, so give it it's due.

Edited by: Sullen Skoung on 18/02/2011 22:51:03 Yer really trying to say someone with say 20 mil SP is evenly matched vs someone starting today? Cause thats just foolish. If thats the case why to corps say a specific number of SP must be gained (IE must have 18 mil SP) before you can join the corp? If theres no difference between a 18 mil toon and a brand new one There is no "due" to be given

Lets be serious, would you expect someone starting today to be evenly matched with someone who has played for a while - this is not TEKKEN, and even if it was, would you not think someone who has played TEKKEN before would not beat someone who has not? If that mode ask Goons how they use noobies, how they make them useful in fleets in 0.0 on day 1 (Kudos for that) - plus have a think about how in a team a low sp player can be very useful in engagments against higher sp players (again Goons have kudos for that) - any other mmporg based on levelling can offer that? I don't think so to my knowledge...
It sounds like you are after a game where everyone spawns, fights and dies, then spawns again, in which case I direct you to Modern Warfare - oh wait, you play and get skills there.... hrm back to counter strike for you then. Instanced level 1 shot game them reset.
Anyway, back to the point - lets get a level playing field either - either we all bot and kill the game slowly, or no bots allowed and we struggle on as I imagine was intended...

Good point, it doesn't. Therefore we should allow every single exploit that was ever discovered to be used. As none affect our RL, right?

Seriously, they should just make players aim the mining laser at a picture of rock and minerals and make it hit the richest looking stuff. If it all has the same color range, bots won't be able to find the minerals, but human eyes will find it all too easy with a bit of practice. End result: bot miners sc**** up loads of useless rock with the occasional mineral, and human players get lots of extra minerals to balance out what the bots aren't producing any more. And the overall reduction of minerals mined (especially nocxium-rich and other lowsec ores) will draw non-bot players into lowsec.
Here is an example image to demonstrate this point, as I have found in the past that people usually do not understand how this phenomenon would work:

for those that just can't see why its a problem:
alliance A doesn't use bots. they have to get isk honesty.
alliance B uses bots.
alliance B attacks A's sov holdings. alliance B has an endless supply of isk so can absorb any losses and field the most expensive ships and put them in harms way without fear. they can also buy accounts for cap pilots, cyno alts, neutral alts etc.
alliance A, while they might be good pvp'ers will suffer attrition.
alliance B eventually wins because they can out perform alliance A economically because alliance A has to replace ships though in game methods whereas alliance B can buy there way to victory through bot made isk.
alliance A then gets some bots themselves and the whole problem escalates where no one can compete in sov pvp without the use of bots.
since pvp, especially sov pvp is a main economic driver in eve's player driven economy it begins to severely affect all markets in quite a number of ways which are negative to the honest player.

CCP damage control is faster than the speed of light.
It is funny that they ask to fill a petition ... when it is clear that all petitions against botters have no consequences.
just look at here: http://www.evenews24.com/2011/02/12/the-rise-of-the-isk-printing-machines-a-case-study-on-bots/ the names of many botters are exposed ... I just added them to my contact list.

... and many many others ... guess what ? they are still active and online 24/7 At this point it is very clear that CCP is deeply involved in the botting business with the players and their alliances.
I hope this whole thing will soon or later be published on external gaming magazines or gaming websites ... maybe it's the only way CCP will do "something" about it.

you are telling the truth, you either need to convince devs to change the game or to have the crowds follow you and punish MACRO and macro alliances with player actions, such as hulkageddon.

Let's make this issue known to the masses that play the lvl 4s, mine the roids etc to work their way up and let them know that everything they do is effectively pointless unless they join the rest and start botting to make 10x more than they can ever dream of currently.
Afterall, why put the effort in when you can just the pc on all day/overnight to make your riches?
We will end up with:
a) everyone botting - goodnight eve b) CCP finally takes a stance and does something meaningful c) no one cares much and those who do quit.. ah well.. was a nice idea, shame about the execution.
Lets make this public! Let people make up their minds once they know of the problem, whether they care or not.
Tell people in local! Direct them to this thread, but let them know the 1st post is a troll, the rest is meaningful!

Heh very cynical - but not a great idea from the corporate point of view -
if (d) do nothing, let Eve slowly die and focus on 'world of twilight' then CCP will become known as the company that allows macors, bots etc and WOT would just get screwed over fast anyway as people move in to cash in... - huge investment down the drain.
Not a clever move for the future from the business perspective.

Edited by: Yana Cova on 19/02/2011 19:36:53 Sadly I think most people that get ganked by hulkageddon are real people (no proof, just a theory) - the majority of bots I believe reside in 0.0 regions, with a fair few running courier missions in lo sec or mining ice in hi sec.
Most hulks in Hi sec are probs just bears - whereas <tinfoil> most* hulks in 0.0 probs are not people....
