Alright, I've been in paragon soul for about 3 days now. Throughout these days I've seen Obvious bots be Obvious, and I don't know how much is being done about it.

In 3 SEPARATE systems, I've found 5 pilots in each, with the exact same setup in each, 4 Drakes, and a noctis; WITH THE EXACT SAME PoS LAYOUT AND IN THE SAME CORP.

If this isn't obvious botting I don't know what is. and I'm doing everything I can to stop it.
Even managed to kill one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc2vt_t53Us&context=C3c7955aADOEgsToPDskJKjEqMpEUgxmTkd2qZvzAM

Is CCP doing everything within it's power to stop bots?

Actually, no. Reporting them doesn't do anything.

Been reporting the same mining bots for 3 months now, repeatedly, every time I see them in local. Nothing.

Did you ever stop to think that perhaps they are still there because they are NOT bots?

Vote for Mittens for CSM, He is sexy like that..

There's no bots in eve - no mission bots or spam bots in Jita (oh btw Reela nice posting timing you got there... )

/c

Get over the botting already. CCP staff that play also bot. You'll never see it go away.

the funny thing is you can even see the pattern and still nothing happens with him. pattern being (54s, 51, 37, 38, 42, 59, 42, 59, 42, 59, 42, 59, 42, 59, 41, 55, 55, after here it repeats: 54, 51, 37, 38 and so on)

is nice too, besides being an recycled scamming alt (he recycles 3 different of them each every month or two) his pattern is even more obvious (40s and 30s alternating). still why would a gm do something about that... These are so obvious bots that their main characters should have been banned long time ago but well...

[sarcasm] Oh yeah btw "Report bot" really works like a charm... [/sarcasm]

oh and this one: "http://evelocal.com/Jita/p/Reia Itinen" (copy the link, board hates the code for spaces in urls)

even harder to figure out that hes a bot... yeaaah

you can do this with a CCP sanctioned gaming keyboard. Not considered to be botting.

However, it IS considered spamming, so just report it correctly =P

I thought it was pretty obvious, how is CCP gonna get paid, without botting, or having their own RMT.

i would find it pretty funny if CCP wouldn't trade with real money. So yeah they definately got RMT going on there, what a shocker...

You're both idiots. You're correct in the sense that CCP RMT's in the form of PLEX, but to suggest a company is a)botting themselves and b) actively involved in the illegal RMT trade is beyond pants-made-of-tinfoil-on-head-********.

If CCP was involved in such things, why would they bother botting when they could just "magic" the ISK into existence, and why would they sell ISK through illegal channels when they do very well with PLEX? Not to mention the shitstorm and PR disaster it would create if ever found. Next you'll be sprouting crap about how it's actually CCP hacking accounts and stealing people's assets.

So please, stop throwing pant's on head ****** accusations out there without [citation]

To combat bots CCP has to limit the time that you can spend with ratting or mining. There should be a time account that represents the amount of hours that a player is allowed to rat or mine. Per subscribed month 100 hours should be added to that time account. The account should have a cap of 200 hours.

It would heavily reduce the effectiveness of bots while not causing a problem for normal players. No normal player will rat or mine for more than 100 hours per month regularly. It wouldnGÇÖt even be a problem for a player that wants to play a lot for maybe two weeks while he is on vacation as he could just consume the accumulated 200hours within those two weeks.

I fully support the Goon-a-gedden that will rid high sec of bots.

Get over the botting already. CCP staff that play also bot. You'll never see it go away.
