Uhmm, YES!


NEXT!

And plex market will die. All players who live from buying plexes will leave. Market will colapse - nothing will have any real value and no one will buy your's loot or minerals.

Well I hope you meaned this as a joke because no sane person could mean this for real.

Add: And CCP have small division to deal with bots, they are NOT focusing on to deal with them.

If you allowed bots what would be the point in actually playing the game for most folks. They might as well leave a bot doing it and, considering this is a computer game and as you rightly said has no benefit to real life, therefore not bother playing or paying themselves. Thus, the death of EvE.

Well done for finally getting what I've been saying about EVE Online and all games like it.

It's a good idea. Most rpgs offer some level of automation, whether it's higherable npcs who assist you in doing menial tasks or who do menial tasks entirely on their own. I'm surprised CCP still hasn't implemented something in that department.

The impetus for players to employ bots in the first place is that mining and missions don't yield enough in-game money for the time you spend doing it. I have a hulk with t2 strippers, t2 crystals, and max out mining skills and still I can't get more than about 1.5 million ISK per hour mining high sec ores, and I'm not about to take a 200 million ISK ship into low sec when the insurance only covers the exhaust pipe. At that rate, it takes about 20 hours to raise the 30 million isk it costs to replace a battlecruiser and, if you only have 2 hours a day to play Eve, it's take about a week and a half.

But I suspect that this is by design. CCP wants us to give up and buy in-game money through trading PLEX, which is the most expensive way to sub.

Or you could, you know, move out of high sec.

...and I'm not about to take a 200 million ISK ship into low sec when the insurance only covers the exhaust pipe.

Botting is ruining EvE. To let it continue or to even sanction it in any way will only ruin EvE more. This is not an argument you will ever win. It is simply not possible. Give up now.

fixt, because I like doing this more rather than trying to seriously respond to you people anymore.

I feel like I'm looking at an RL "Legalize Marij-uana" argument. You have the guy who comes in saying "Legalize it!" and announcing all of the benefits it has and pointing out the lack of real detriments. Then you have all the anti-legalization people who come in repeating what they read online, regardless of any real factual evidence to back it up, and get huffy at the idea of someone actually wanting it to be legalized. Then the topic moves on and it is still illegal.

Keep fighting, bro! Down with the system!

Get the f*ck out of a hulk. Problem solved.

No mining vessel, no need to mine, run missions, at least those ship skills are useful in other endevours of EVE. Worst ******* ship in the game, all barges/exhumers should be removed...whoever the **** wants to tie themselves down like a goat to an asteroid belt and just die for someone else's entertainment is a moron.

I feel CCP should legalize Marij-uana inside the game, at least.

Compared to the dangerous side effects from drinking Quafe, weed is completely safe.

FIX THIS!

Let's look at the benefits of this shall we?

. No one will have to deal with the repetitiveness and boredom of mining or mission running

. Any cheaters who bot will no longer have an advantage over honest players who want to play the game normally

. CCP make more money from bot accounts being made

. CCP can properly regulate bots and go after illegal ISK sellers since they will have more support

. People can code their own bots and put it out for free, CCP devs could also code some standard ones for people

. No one will really feel the need to buy ISK anymore because they can play EVE way more casually and not have to stare at a computer screen for hours to make sure they don't die while making ISK

. Very little of the game would need to be changed to accommodate people who can't be bothered spending months of their lives grinding for something that isn't even going to get them anything in real life i.e. people who have lives

. CCP can focus more on adding stuff in the game and improving the gameplay rather than catching bots constantly, it will save them a lot of money

Laziness? In a video game? *gasp* *SHOCK*

..... You mean?!

Someone actually wants to have fun in one after paying money to a games company?!

True dat Although I'm still a firm believer that mining in null sec isn't that bad, you just need sov and a relatively large alliance to do it. If CCP could buff ninja mining or mining that didn't require AFKing for hours that would be cool.


This thread is now about weed as an in game item.

Possible Side Effects:

• Your character temporarily forgets very important skills.


• Whilst under it's effects your ship must constantly be stocked with food stuffs and cigarettes, or your character will get grumpy and refuse to leave station.


• Everything on screen suddenly looks at least 20% more pretty and full of wonder.

I recommend the OP try Progress Quest.

u.
If in real life you dont like your job, you quit it and get a new one instead of building a robot to do it for you while you get all the benefits from the money and free time.

Almost with you the whole way, but for this.

Actually, if you don't like your RL job and you can build a machine to do it for you and still collect all the benefits, darn tootin' that's what you do!

But that is because in RL the benefits aren't necessarily from the doing of the task but rather the end result of the task.


Since the benefit of a game is in the playing of it, having a bot play it for you is just crazy.

It's more like hiring someone to take martial arts lessons for you.

...Ah but then, learning to mission efficiently, that actually requires ::effort:: and ::paying attention:: can't have that, now can we!

Bad example, because there is solid, medical evidence of the severe consequences of regular dope use: http://www.drugs.health.gov.au/internet/drugs/publishing.nsf/content/*********

Sorry, hippies and lefties. You'll have to 'stick it to the system' some other way.

Oh, and botting is bad.

But hunting bots in deep nullsec is good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBI9Od55HzA
