So wait......you mean somebody actually trained up 40 accounts to use marauders AND bought the hulls AND fittings to "bot" in them ?

Thats a lot of isk required to "make more isk", by then that person would probably be bored by the amount of effort required to maintain that style of play.

You really don't make that much from missions, i'd be down in null running anomalies if i wasn't such a casual risk averse carebear scrub.

Interesting, good to know! Care to explain how does one bot missions though ? Not sure if its just me but I just can't imagine software do missions, i mean, what you get is random :S How do the "bot" know what to shoot and when to start shooting ? Well, maybe it would be possible with overtanked missile boats or drone boats(before retribution) but the dps would be so low that it would take forever for each mission and income per hour would drop so low that the "bot" might as well mine roids.

Well, I guess then you'd have to petition those accounts. No one likes botters. I'm sure CCP would ban them, at IP levels if need be. Ofcourse, you'd need proof first.

Do you really think people are stupid?

Don't be victim of your own propaganda, use your brain and tell us:

1. If you have to install a ratting bot, would you install it where the rat spawn pay you 20k isk or where they pay 1-2 milions isk and you can do it more efficiently in a carrier and have no competitors?

2. if you had to install, let's say, an ice mining bot woulf you install it in Aubudan where you have to compete with hunfdreds other miners and risk to be suicide ganked or in some remote corner of 0.0 where an alliance or coalition grant you private belts in a blue safe area and wheere is far more profittable?

And all this in a granted safe area. Is not a coincidence as they're lobbing now to have covertops and cloacking nerfed, cause from here can only come some bothering for their bots.

I feel sorry for all those poor grunts in 0.0 alliances forced in boring activities like structures grinding or to camp the access to their systems, hours and hours spent watching a bubled gates instead of having fun... what are you guarding? Someone else botting farms.

Wake up and take your game back.

1) Sell PLEX for $$
2) Create bot fleet to earn ISK
3) Buyback PLEX for ISK
4) Destroy PLEX
5) Lather, rinse, repeat until desired income from casual gamers is achieved.

ISK is not a liability to CCP, but PLEX are. Follow the $$. There is only one company that can RMT without violating the TOS.

Same reason why the US Gov't won't legalize illicit drugs...it would freeze the income source of the CIA.

A plan so crazy....It. Just. Might. Work.

Ya know in nine months of playing this terrible game I've been from Branch to Fountain, Cloud Ring to Period Basis, Catch, Cobalt Edge and back and never seen this.

you seem to be trying really hard to defend the RMT empires almost as if you have some sort of personal stake in it

so you just refuse to see the legions bots in null instantly cloaking or log when someone enters local??

you also cant deny how things look from the outside, we see massive coalitions that refuse to fight each other(blaming sov mechanics only gets you so far) and for the past few years we've had accusations of RMT within the major alliances sometimes backed up with chat logs and while thats not proof it does make people really question whats going on and it simply doesn't look good

bullshit. They are much smarter now then they were only a few years ago. Fail again.

I absolutely LOVE the fact how guys in big alliances who I don't normally see post in GD(that much) suddenly hotdrop a thread about RMT-ing.

Does CFC stand for Conceited Fat and Clueless by any chance?

pretty dam good considering it requires almost zero effort to get that 5.76 bill every month oh and how many tech moons do goons have these days? how many do PL have? now add all the other moons that make a decent profit

I see you clearly thought about this and decided that ratting bots that chain in null clearly don't make as much ISK as mission running bots(which require higher SP while putting themselves to more risk due to higher % chance of being reported in high).

who exactly is gonna try to take your tech moons? you ruined the game enough for all the other blue blobs to stop playing with you and now your mad they decided to play away from your crap where you cant hurt them so you try to get the game changed to ruin it for them all over again

Herp derp, planet Earth to Andski, come in, did i say anomalies.....?

Ratting as in belts, you know. Those belts that have NPC with higher bounties that the NPCs in missions. Those belts that have a chance to spawn some juicy things.

To the other goon above, I also explained my point of view but you clearly missed it, so I won't bother doing it again.

Have we got to the 'CCP are manipulating the figures and lying about the enthusiastic highsec missioners to cover up for the massive nullsec RMT botfarms' part of the delusion yet?

yes because getting massive numbers and throwing them all into a single system to create lag is hard, and you wonder why no 1 will play with you
