Good work CCP.
Now do this every month for a year.

CCP Sreegs wrote:Thanks! :)
I'm writing a dev blog in a day or two that will contain some sweet juicy new details.
As regards the timing of this particular wave, let the dudes on FHC know that Fanfest had nothing to do with it. That's a coincidence.
:edit: also the guy above me
I want to invite everybody to stand up and give an standing ovation to Sreegs and CCP for this, the only thing I would ask was why it wasn't done sooner, which i guess is related to how cautious is CCP Games before serving some street justice.
I repeat it BIG APPLAUSE for this!!!!

well all the makro botters are still their and those are the easiest kinds of bots... Jason Hardy together with Keyana Purvanen (alternating between these two chars he has an online time of 23 hours), Y0T00 (+ recycling scam alts since a year or so), Ashley Hart and so many more... Granted some of them have tough patterns like Keyana and Jason, which repeat only after about 45 messages but it only takes 10 seconds of my time and a button in excel to get their damn patterns and i'm a noob compared to what ccp should be able to do.... But since they cant even see easy patterns like the 1 message every 62 seconds like Ashley Hart does it, i guess i shouldnt expect them to recognize the tougher patterns... Well since they also don't seem to answer petitions in the EULA & TOS category its also not possible to show them the facts and point them right towards the botters...
and all those botters that got banned just have a temporary ban, they will just sell all their characters afterwards, buy new ones and continue botting... Even on their first time they should only be able to get 1 of their accounts back while the rest stays banned. That way they would learn their lesson but still have their main account so theres hope they will continue playing but without botting
oh yeah people posting a scam 5 hours after its been completed is kind of a giveaway too (Jason Hardy, right now).... |

Just finished reading the thread in fhc,
Thank you spank for bringing this to my attention, a truly glorious start to my day.
Props to CCP, the tears produced in that bot thread were far better than the lamentations of their women could ever be.

I don't know why (a couple of) people think this is me attention whoring but thanks to CCP Sreegs and everyone else for their input in this thread.
CCP; If you are truly taking stronger action against botters then I can only applaud you in your actions.
It's clear from this thread that botters are not welcome and I hope you proceed with harsh actions against those that undermine genuine efforts. I can only imagine the impact that botters place on the reputation of genuine miners.
Lets not forget of course that botters are active in the folllowing activities:
Trading
Courier Contracts
Missioning
Mining (roids/gas/whatever else)
local spam of scam contracts
I look forwards to this blog report and I hope it has anecdotes about Amsterdam too :P I hope you visited the cat barge (cat refuge) that they have there, its the most adorable thing about Amsterdam GÖÑ

Hehehe Well this explains oh so much of whats been going on in Eve the past few weeks then and makes a LOT of sense for me. Also took a gander through FHCs thread on it and loved every second of it. This is great.
I play a lot, I got a lot of time on my hands to do so. Loved this game for many years and have always loved to see this kind of stuff go down. Playing till your eyes bleed some days and then watching and knowing theres others that dont have to suffer to get the same results sucks.
Id also love to see a no trading or selling on banned accounts myself.
Strength isnt measured in numbers but in force of will. For if one motived willful individual stands many will fall around him that are weak.

You guys at CCP need to look into a bit of behavioral psychology. There is fixed stimulus and variable stimulus. The most powerful way to affect behavior is to combine the two. Begin with fixed stimulus and then switch over to variable stimulus, and you will train the EVE community to fear your anti-bot crusades.
What does this mean? Have a REGULAR bot purge every few weeks/months or so. Do this for 6 months to a year. Then switch the schedule and have irregular bot purges, sometimes doing them a few weeks in a row, sometimes going months between them. Eventually the botters will become so paranoid because of the unpredictable nature of the purges (after the certainty of a purge was hammered home through fixed stimulus) they will just give up and go elsewhere.
Anyway my $0.02 worth, from what I understand of behavioral psychology.

Hi CCP, can I ask you something?... Are you still giving warnings to first time offenders of botting? last I heard you only took their isk and banned for... idk. a few months...
I personly think there should be a zero tolerance towards people who bot... that will make some of the average players more careful about botting...
Also ban their main accounts if you can link the isk transferes to it, and your sure they are the same people, most of the botters aren't using their mains for it, they consider their botters throw away characters |

They do answer petitions in EULA & TOS but they assume by default that you are a botter asking for ban removal before even opening your message. Therefore they always impose a forced 2 weeks wait. I sent them several questions over the years, always had to wait for weeks.

Well done though sreegs. But as every one has said this needs to be a regular thing.
You say that this isn't a publicity thing for fanfest then great, do the same thing next month and the month after.
Can't wait for the blog on this, obviously you would need to hold back how you worked out how these dicks are botting but would be interesting to hear what you have to say.
As others have said stats on what alliances have the most bothers would be interesting.
And name and shame also!!

Now that CCP has finally gotten REAL SERIOUS about this......I've reported no less than 9 obvious bots in Thiarer alone this morning.
I ganked 2 next door in Orva last month and got them both banned.
Go to it CCP !

Ah, this is good news. Thanks CCP, and the OP for posting.
EDIT: and a list of offenders and the results of the ban (i.e. duration, perm etc) would be cool. They do it with iRO, and it gave people in game an even more bad reputation. Was a good deterrent for that sort of thing. Though I doubt it would effect the big botting houses though, since players doing that is a drop in the bucket.

Darius if you really want to make an impact you should trace where the isk/comps to build titans came from for every titan in the game. Banning the input doesn't go far enough, ban the output. |

knowing how to identify bots might help us report them. as a wh corp we often see carriers ratting in deep empty nullsec areas, if we knew what alliences and behavour to look for it might make it easier for us to report them |
