I thought I should bring it to the stellar councils attention that parents who share their accounts with their young teens are been accused of using macros and being banned! the way they figure it is if you play for too long it seems! GM mehendri banned two of our households accounts for use of a macro which just is not true at all, our houshold has 3 accounts in which two need to be monitored by adults so when the kids are asleep the adults play when the kids are awake and home from school they play up until nine then the adults take over. that is not a macro! that is a family playing eve. not some shonky chinese isk farmer we are an Australian family living in Queensland. besides one of the adults in our house is very very sick with chronic liver disease and has to stay in bed week after week and playing eve is all he's done since he started going down hill. we would ask the stellar council to petition on our behalf since we will not be playing eve in our household anymore and I will be telling other parents how we got accused of cheating and threatened by other players with violence and greif. we've decided it's an aweful game and we have deleted the clients from our computers. best of luck with it everyone.

This is totally the right place for this
You were probably banned for building walls in unauthorised places

Even if this were the right place for this, I can hardly agree that parents should be running an EVE client 23/7 for them and their children. In any case, I'd have a hard time believing it, as I'm sure would anybody at CCP.
Why ask for a petition on your behalf, and say you are quitting anyway? This makes it even less believable.
Anyway, assuming you were really telling the truth, what's to say your kids weren't actually using Macro's? ..and besides that, and maybe you are actually making this all up, what's to say you don't use macro's? You don't have to be an RMT to do that.
You want a petition? Prove your case. Mail CCP support some pictures of your family and home, and tell them what happened.
Cheers,

Account sharing is banned in the EULA i believe - thats more than enough reason to ban an account.
On a side note, hearing that CCP's looking into 23.5/7 usage accounts and banning them makes me a little happier about the bot war!

Considering how unlikely your story sounds (not to mention the lack of capitals), full API key of all accounts or GTFO.
Oh and can i have your stuff since you are quitting anyway? (After ban is over of course).

Using a macro violates the terms of use. Sharing your account info so multiple people can use 1 account also violates the terms of use. So you committed a bannable offense either way. Also, this be the wrong place. Petition CCP, petitioning the CSM and other players won't get you anywhere.
Thus far you shall read, but no further; for this is my sig. |

I find this thread to be pointless. You want to petition your **** back, but you then state you are deleting the clients.
That seems a bit unhealthy to rotate playing time with accounts. Go outside and spend time with your kids. Take them to an amusement park or a museum or something. Hell, you live in Australia, do what all Aussies do and go ride a Kangaroo and throw boomerangs at wild dingos and cook snakes!

To be perfectly fair, did you ever check what kind of animals live in Australia, it was supposed to be a prison for a reason, just about everything is there to kill you, I dont even trust the koalas anymore. I would rather have my kids playing eve 23.5/7 then go outside in australia.

But you KNOW no one else who was on the account was using a bot. Assuming the OP isn't just lying about their own use of a bot. Seriously though, I'm quite happy if CCP has started hitting the "always running" accounts.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

That is certainly the most ridiculous thing that I've read today. So what if I have no social life and/or an insomniac? **** you, you're banned.

I think you just topped him (not that there was anything particularly wrong with his statement in the first place). It would need to be a bit more than "no social life" to enable you to play 23.5/7 (and that's assuming you don't stop at all for bodily needs), as for the insomniac, I believe that after a certain period of absolutely zero sleep you wouldn't be able to even play eve (probably end up crazy). What ccp's hitting is the accounts that are online and active (read: not afk) from DT to DT continuously for days / weeks on end, something which could not be accomplished without breaking at least one of the rules set out in the EULA.
Perhaps I'm stupid for even responding to this troll :/

Account sharing is against the EULA for a reason, and it is not sharing it with your kids. Same client, same IP, Same family, not some stranger who is potentially going to steal your account or do something that results in you being banned.
People who share their accounts with their kids are fine in my book, and I don't see a problem with it. Picking on that is completely inane.
Whatever the OP's honesty, this thread doesn't have to be trolled, simply because it looks like 'fair game'.
I'm sure CCP would have no more problem with the idea of sharing your account with your kids than me, and if you read the EULA, I'm pretty it tells you why Account sharings is a bannable offense. It's a security risk, and potentially a way for RMT's to farm ISK with one account and multiple computers in different locations.
For the sake of argument, this is a parent with kids. Would you say no, if your child asked you if he or she could play? If you do, you're either a shmuck, or a concerned parent. If you're a concerned parent, turn the computer off, and go spend some time with your kid(s).

CCP doesn't have a problem with that, but it will hold the owner responsible for everything that happens on that account, so if you want to be safe, don't share your account with anyone. It's pretty clear the OP is full of **** though, so I'm not sure why that would matter in this case.
For the sake of argument I think you should let the kid have a trial account and if he likes the game, pay for his own account. There is no need to share accounts, especially since you can only train a single character at a time, so account sharing doesn't work that well in any case. If you can't afford another payed account, let him play a F2P game. It's not like there isn't any lack of free MMOs in the world. If a character is actively online doing things 23.5/7, it's a macro or a sweatshop, and I'm pretty sure there are ways to determine pretty conclusively which one it is and it was likely done already. We are just seeing a macro user/troll trying desperately to come up with an excuse for his behavior and no one is taking his explanations seriously.
Either way this is something that belongs in a petition. By trying to get a mob going against CCP the OP made himself a free target for ridicule.

It is blatantly obvious that the OP is full of ****. CCP doesn't ban a person for being logged on and playing 23.7. If they did that DRF wouldn't still be here. He obviously did something he shouldn't have and is just trying to incite hate against CCP.

for those of you who have never bothered to actually read the EULA:
Quote:
You may not share your Account with anyone, or allow anyone other than you personally (or your minor child, if you have registered an Account on behalf of your minor child) to access or use your Account.
