Timural Caldari Provisions Caldari State 5	Posted - 2012.03.03 15:52:00 - [4] - Quote The bot bans are mostly all temporary and now those characters are flagged for botting so they can't do it anymore. Might as well sell the bot characters for the isk now.
Skorpynekomimi Omega Vector 128	Posted - 2012.03.03 16:01:00 - [5] - Quote It's other botters trying to ditch known bot characters in a hurry, so they can cash in to tide them over while they train up new ones.

So, unless they sell the entire account illegally, they can't do ****. -á-á \|\__/\|-á -á/ @ @ \ -á-á -á( > -¦ < )-á -á`-+-+x-½-½-¦ -á-á / O \

Once banned for botting (even if a temp ban) the account* is flagged and character transfers can no longer be done from that account. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'no.'

C'mon everyone in this freaking game knows it very well how this character RL money sells sh+»t happens, corp/alliance forums sell characters, ships, isk for real money and everyone knows this... You have dozens of characters for sale with prices start at 50 to 2K euros in some EU forums and can go beyond this in talks on TS/Vent/Mumble/Skype. Just biomass that crap, plain simple.

Considering they are botters do you think they care about the EULA? This is were CCP have a massive failing. By still allowing people to create untraceable accounts it means that the second they are caught once they will just sell there characters for RL money on one of the many many websites available and CCP will be none the wiser.

I have no doubt whatsoever that many who were caught will try that. CCP used to monitor character selling via the other "methods" and banned those accounts entirely, dunno' if that still happens or not. I'm glad CCP are finally prohibiting character transfers immediately by flagging the entire account after the first time a botter is caught. Many have been begging them to do this for years. If you are looking for a "one-strike and you can never play EVE again" system, I very much CCP would (or could) ever be that heavy handed. And just as unauthorized character and ISK sales happen easily and frequently, so could evading tying an account to a real person. They will never 100% eliminate bots and RMT, the idea is to minimize it as much as possible by making it more and more difficult. In a few weeks we'll see how effective CCP's renewed efforts to combat botting worked. Regardless, it has to always be an on-going process and not left to languish for most of a year between actions being taken. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'no.'
Mr Epeen It's All About Me 758	Posted - 2012.03.03 17:11:00 - [16] - Quote Hey look! A thread full of people who never go to the character bazaar forum posting opinions on stuff they know nothing about. Tengu characters have been the mainstay of character bazaar for quite a while now. They are fast to make and easy to sell. Stop reading stuff into every little thing, you bunch of tinfoil hat morons. Mr Epeen Me too!-á I ate one sour, too!
Ranger 1 Ranger Corp 1078	Posted - 2012.03.03 17:16:00 - [17] - Quote Since CCP is temp and then perma banning "ACCOUNTS" , and then permanently disabling the ability to transfer characters from those accounts, buying one from a 3rd party will become more and more problematic. You buy it only to discover it is one violation away from perma ban (if not already perma banned), you can't transfer the characters on the account to a different one (ever), basically as this progresses the botting community begins to be heavily affected by internal scams. It begins to cannibalize itself. This has always been the danger of purchasing on a 3rd party site, you have no recourse if you are scammed. Once the situation develops to the point where simply selling/purchasing accounts has a high probability of being difficult/pointless/unprofitable the number of bots in EVE should drop considerably. You don't have to eliminate bots, you simply have to make it so difficult to profitably use them it isn't worth it to try any more. This will take a while to evolve, but it should be interesting to read the comments on the botting forums. When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point. Also, I can kill you with my brain.
Aiwha 101st Space Marine Force Nulli Secunda 186	Posted - 2012.03.03 17:23:00 - [18] - Quote Damn. I wish I had 5 billion isk to spare. Love to have an extra super ratting character available. Regards, LCpl. Aiwha-á Senior Recruiter
Thomas Abernathy Phantom Squad Nulli Secunda 61	Posted - 2012.03.03 17:54:00 - [19] - Quote I too want to be able to point to anything in game and say. "They are banning bots!" "Lots of Tengu chars for sale..they banned bots!" "I don't see many people in my area anymore, they banned bots..." "That Corp I didn't like is gone, they banned bots..." "Someone drew ponies...they banned bots......" If online numbers haven't changed significantly, either they didn't ban many, or the bots in question just started new accounts..... "Fighting CCD since 2139"

If Bots can have that deep of an Impact on EVE, that fast then CCP is in serious ****.
Istvaan Shogaatsu Guiding Hand Social Club 163	Posted - 2012.03.03 18:53:00 - [21] - Quote I think we may claim at least partial credit for this. We've been suiciding Tengus lately, and it turns out a lot of the ones we popped belonged to a major botter. He threatened us, and tried sending mercs after us, but they didn't end up interfering much. GH-SC Tengu slaughter thread with botter chatlog We're still popping them.

Let me see if I understand what you are saying. There is a sudden influx of Tengu pilots for sale on character bazaar because you are harassing a botter? That's nearly as bad as what the OP came up with. You can make a salable Tengu pilot for free with a buddy invite. That is why there are so many for sale. No other reason.

Soldarius United Highsec Front The 99 Percent 174	Posted - 2012.03.05 05:20:00 - [24] - Quote None, because all those banned toons are now locked into the account. Read dev blogs before posting plz. "How do you kill that which has no life?"
IsTheOpOver 60	Posted - 2012.03.05 05:43:00 - [25] - Quote I've had on at least 3 occasions someone push really hard to just transfer their account over instead of going through the standard character transfer process after agreeing to a price on a Character Bazaar listing. (of course I did not accept any such offer and insisted to use the CCP sanctioned process) I would not be surprised if some of these are indeed trying to do that via in-game PM's when trying to sell the toon.
Opertone Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 114	Posted - 2012.03.05 07:22:00 - [26] - Quote Biomass! Empire needs more organical goo for experiments. Something suggests that biomassed chars actually undergo unheard Jovian experiments before they get desintegrated.

Even stricter counter measures to bots. Please recycle and instant banhammer all of their stuff. Do not let them grace periods. Auto anti bot software please.
Mara Tessidar Bat Country Goonswarm Federation 497	Posted - 2012.03.05 07:27:00 - [28] - Quote People can try to sell their accounts to get around the new restrictions (which are great, by the way) but they're opening up a Pandora's box for themselves... http://goo.gl/GG2xn Eve Online: A Bad Game.
Grey Stormshadow draketrain Confederation of xXPIZZAXx 1023	Posted - 2012.03.05 09:30:00 - [29] - Quote If some people are stupid enough to buy black market account from ie ebay and risk getting banhammered and identity tagged to CCP's botter/rmt list, they are quite stupid enough to do just that - no matter what we say here. You know there are people who trade 1 trit for billions of isk too .) Get
