Over past few weeks I have noticed more and more people accusing null sec alliances of being in Involved in RMT Operations.
Now I am not part of any null sec alliances, I have no affiliation to anybody expect my own Corp and Alliance.
In several posts where somebody has accused an alliance being involved in RMT I have asked for evidence, some thing that backs up their claims and as of yet nobody has shown me any, if fact most of times they simply ignore the request.
Can somebody show me some sort of evidence that shows an alliance or corporation, whether they be in high / low or null that is directly involved in RMT.
Lets once and for all prove or disprove these accusations.
For all those people who truly believe that alliances are involved in RMT.. now is the time to put up or shut up. |

A lack of proof isn't the same as disproof. Even if CCP were to thoroughly investigate each nullsec alliance and subsequently announce that they discovered no illicit activity, the matter still wouldn't be settled. CCP may simply have failed to catch them:

hmm..
@Ursula LeGuinn so not matter what is done you will always believe alliances take part in RMT.. well that is fair.
@baltec1 - Here you go
I brought several house and a multitude of cars, drugs and hookers with the money I made from RMT playing Eve..
Is that proof.. must be because I posted on the internet and that means it real  |

personally if i found anyone in my alliance botting or rmt'ing i would awox the **** out of them, but thats just me..
I think it's just one of those xenophobic accusations against the russians, i think it happens, but not on the scale that people exagerate it to be. Personally I have seen fleets of mackinaws in null that all warp as one the second a nuet pops their head into local, but that has only been a few times ove 6 years. And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell. |

Therefore, no intruder was detected by the watch-dog. It would be a logical fallacy to say, "The dog did not bark. Therefore, there is no intruder." For my part, I choose not to have any opinion at all about large-scale alliance RMT. I personally have no proof and can't verify any of the rumors, and that's about as far as my capabilities extend.
Just want to point out the OP's point is that it is mostly rumours.

So one person represents the whole?
We can throw Ricdic out there as well, if I remember correctly. Would that make all the Top Traders and/or Scammers guilty as well?

I don't have time for people like you. You deliberately exaggerate certain unprovable uncertainties, often times for self gain. Where in hell do you think the RMT's are going to post what they do on an open forum? Right, they will do it over Skytype, TS3 or over the phone.
The fact that you only have affiliations with your own corp or alliance (or claim to) means that you have absolutely no authority to speak on this subject whatsoever. You are not even qualified to take an educated guess.
So why don't you just stop posting.  Reallocate funds for Icelandic air fare to developing an integrated player input function in the UI. Then talk directly to the customers with polls to collect demographics and game preferences

Of the nullsec alliances my charcaters have been involved in - which comprise several high profile well established PVP alliances - I have never seen anything that would indicate botting or RMT (these are not the same thing) taking place. To me, most of the claims spewed forth on the fourms seems to be 1) part of the never ending propaganda war or 2) set forth by people auto-repeating said propagandists.
I might be wrong ofc, but it seems likely that the both botting and RMT issues - while they almost certainly exist - are hugely inflated. |

Part of it is the innate easiness to assign RL value to ISK. I mean, if you knew you were sitting on, say $40,000 worth of ISK, and all you needed to do was unload it....
The other part is simple psychology. the average Joe in EVE would go "hells yeah cash out". Next thought is "Well if *I*, being honorable Joe EVE would do it..then obvs those scumbags over in That Corp are doing it. They already jerks." |

Well, when I was involved in the higher up workings the general rule of thumb was always "we don't talk about it". So I say that your lying. I can fly into Null any day of the week and find them Botting systems. Whoever says botting and RMT are not related has no idea how the two things connect, or how they work.

Backatcha buddy. The your like these people who yell "there is no global warming" exaggerating scientific uncertainties for political gain. But it's real yo. So like I said, I don't have time for people like you.

I'm just quoting the most important question there. It's not about modus tollens ("the way that denies by denying") as another poster here wrote. It's about proof. Show and tell or it's all just inflated hearsay and perpetuated lies.

Do what now?
I clearly stated that I choose to have no opinion. Put another way, I choose not to speculate. All I'm illustrating is that you cannot ever "disprove" the existence of widespread RMT activities.
If that causes you to believe I'm an RMT "believer," then you're jumping to conclusions. "The EVE forums are intended to provide a warm, friendly atmosphere for the EVE community."-áGÇö-áEVElopedia |

What is proof?
Recorded TS3, where a guy is "bragging" about it his RMT...... but nah, he didn't really do it, he is just blowing wind. A fleet warping off as soon as a neutral enters system...... but nah, he just has multiple accounts. Or... "he is just dedicated to the game" that is why he is so focused on taking that region 23/7. He didn't get paid to do it. Those mountains of hulks mining like oompaloopas deep in drone space 23/7, they are just there for the scenery!
You won't consider anything to be "sufficient proof", so you should STFU too. What do you expect? CCP to subpoena players bank statements? Even then.... "That didn't come from RMT, LOL I mow lawns on the side!" Your opinion means nothing. Reallocate funds for Icelandic air fare to developing an integrated player input function in the UI.

That's a logical fallacy. Logically speaking, you can say only, "Show and tell, or your accusations are unsubstantiated."

I really doubt large scale alliances have organized RMT/botting. It would be pretty obvious from CCP's side, and I'm sure Certain Corps are being watched really closely.
On the flipside, I would not be surprised if rental fees and such are being paid less in ISK and more in paypal transfers. That'd basically be untraceable via CCP. Who knows.... |

TS3 comms can be recorded.
A lot of people talk about fleets that warp off as soon as a neut enters system.. go and sit in that system and fraps it.
Those mountains of hulks.. again go and fraps it.
I keep seeing people talking about these huge fleets of bots in null sec yet I have never seen anybody fraps it.
Create a alt or use your main to join one of these alliances or a corp which blue to them, fly to where they bot, fraps it and then post on youtube for all to see.
If there are that many of these fleets roaming null sec then it shouldn't be too hard to should it. |

Beyond linking recordings (which I don't have) onto these forums and getting myself banned in the process. What else can I do but speak of personal accounts? Even if I did link recordings... it becomes "that's your voice on that recording" and once again it is "not proof".
Your an idiot.

Its the same with botting and RMT in Eve generally. Its the one big evil everyone is afraid of, so they see it everywhere. Like a a bearded arab reading the koran must surely be a terrorist. Guess what, there are no arab terrorists around you. ;) If there were so many botters in Eve like some claim there are ingame prices for every normal player would be unaffordable by now.

Is that supposed to be a retort to what I just stated? Because when you read it back it doesn't sound like one. You seem to be proving mine. You cannot prove anything to people who want botting and RMT to continue. They will continue to exaggerate things to the point where nothing can POSSIBLY be sufficient evidence.

One more thing.. I keep seeing.. fleets warp off when a neut enters system.
I multi box often and there are plenty of tools that let me control all my accounts as if I was playing one.
So yeah.. If I am in space and see a red enter local I can warp all my ships off at the same time.
Must mean I am a bot and RMT. |
