CCP Sreegs, has there been a substantial shift in the numbers of high-sec bots you're catching since the release of the mining barge buff?

Would you say, based on your response to the above, the threat of ganking was a deterrent to potential mining bot operators?

If you aren't seeing more bots in high-sec and the numbers have changed substantially since Fanfest, is it reasonable for players to ask for an update? I ask this because the new demographics for botting may explain how a less time-sensitive lower-risk form of AFK PVE is healthier for the game in high-sec than its equivalent elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for any responses you can provide.

Thanks, but I wasn't at Eve Vegas.

Most EVE Vegas presentations come out as devblogs sooner rather then later.

Is a good location to find otu what was sayed.

And might we guess that the data you released was "average" and that you had full freedom to discuss about those average figures?

Been there, done that, been on the next tier to decide what level of average is average enough too ;)

People please, continue to chase CCP for for data.

But don't chase Sreegs, Stillman or the rest of their team.

If you had any idea of their job you'd know that they want to talk facts.

But often is not useful, and sometimes not allowed.

Sadly, Stillman and Streggs were never seen again after Vegas.

What screegs posted was the equation for a linear graph.

High-sec: y1 = -0.0011x + 0.773
0.0: y2 = 0.0008x + 0.1651

The y is the vertical part of the graph, the x the horizontal part of the graph.

The numbers above -0.0011 and 0.0008 are the gradient (i.e. the steepness) of the graph.

Anything positive shows the graph is increasing gradient (i.e. the line is increasing in y as x increases).
Anything negative shows a decreasing gradient.

tldr;
What these numbers show, is that in Hisec, the number of botters has decreased slightly, and increased in null.

I'm not sure what the graphs represent exactly (I think the y part is number of bots, x is time?), but that's my take on it.

Edit: Less in highsec, i.e. less being caught, as that was the context, more being caught in null.
