"April Fools" or not, the FANFEST 2011 Security seminar had some serious talk about this.
Video of the seminar is available in the usual places.

Originally by: Zalahar Much of the economy right now is dependent on botting, a too bold of a move by CCP could endanger the economy far more than letting the bots stay.
Tough call, the argument could either way. BUT I'd say the "bold" move has been made, in the form of hiring IT Security professionals.
Bit of waste simply to have them on the payroll otherwise.

Originally by: Maria MitsuiOf course, I am talking Jita, and therefore The Forge. But it would be pretty strange if other regions differed substantially.[/quote
But did you check for available inventories?
Carry on.

I strongly agree, and there is alot of ISK sitting around out there -- literally sitting in Wallets -- according to the latest QEN.

Ultimately, who cares what analysis technique you use.
If you made a profit, it's all win.
If you didn't make a profit... "Onoes".
Took my isotope/ice profit over the weekend, and already moving to the next market play. Y'all have fun now.

Still bullish on ice... 200K/block by end of June... easy.
Irregardless of what "techniques" you apply, or use, or support.... ONOES... all you had to do was pay attention to the Security Briefing from Fanfest.
Better luck next time.

Edited by: Gillaboo on 21/05/2011 23:40:07 Gillaboo's Edit for grammar. I needz more beerz.
Originally by: Viule Sawyr CCP should have seeded the market a bit to not cause such a drastic spike, when they knew they were gonna ban thousands of bots that have held prices where they were. It's good they are banning the bots, don't get me wrong but they are also screwing everyone whom runs a POS in the process.
POS were never meant to be a single person enterprise. They were meant to be a Corporate level effort, with groups of players sharing the costs...I have no doubt that 1-man POS operations are shutting down all over the place. Fly anywhere in high sec and the number of POS left abandoned is growing.
I also have no doubt that CCP *doesn't* want players to rely on bots to keep the economy over-supplied with materials of any kind, thus making those materials artificially cheap.
The proliferation of SuperCaps being a prime example of what happens at the top of the "botting foodchain". Instead of mining most of the minerals, players ran Anoms in 0.0 for ISK... which they then spent in Empire for various amounts of minerals...mined by botters.
Face it, for years the EVE economy has been supported 23.5/7 by a flood of minerals from botters.
Maybe we'll have a "Black Tuesday" and a "Great Depression"... and soup kitchens... and drifters hopping rides on empty freighters from system to system, looking for work...
"Hey buddy, can you spare a can of rocket fuel?"

Well, it is indeed the solo POS tycoons that will feel the pinch first.
Those of us lucky enough to have trustworthy corpies -- to share the cost and cooperate even for the sake of a bit of ice mining -- we'll see you on the other side.
Everything runs in cycles. This one has been a long time coming.
