Verocity 8 Virtues 6	Posted - 2012.03.20 03:49:00 - [1] - Quote Well it's been roughly 3 weeks but I'm seeing the same signature. Entire systems of belts stripped down to 3-9k of ore left in each roid. It's been 3 weeks of bliss where I could mine belt after belt but today it's back to how it was before Feb 28th. Please do another sweep and ban these fools who think Eve is a botting paradise.
Gantz Tleilax Tleilax Foundation 50	Posted - 2012.03.20 06:53:00 - [2] - Quote Dude . . . Fanfest in underway, need to wait till next year before that happens.

Please do another sweep and ban these fools who think Eve is a botting paradise. most bans were 2-week temp bans And the two weeks have passed... now the bots are botting again.... good thing CCP doesn't do a first strike, perma ban.... because most botters will become lawfule citizens when they been busted... yes clearly...............................
Parsee789 Immaterial and Missing Power 68	Posted - 2012.03.20 08:11:00 - [7] - Quote Quick CCP we must smite these unrepentant botters with the BanHammer of God. Then call upon God to Cast their souls into hell, where they will be tortured with burning and impalement till the end of Time.
bornaa GRiD. 118	Posted - 2012.03.20 09:22:00 - [8] - Quote Sreegs, push that red button from the fanfest.

Tobiaz Spacerats 25	Posted - 2012.03.20 09:40:00 - [10] - Quote Whenever Sreegs starts swinging the banhammer, all botters scurry away and hide in the crevices. Good chance that these specific miners weren't banned, but just were waiting to see on their little botting-forums what CCP's next step was. And now they think they are safe, they are back. http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/Tobiaz/sig_complaints.gif How about fixing image-linking on the forums, CCP? I want to see signatures!
Krixtal Icefluxor Bison - Ammatar Thunder Thundering Herd 377	Posted - 2012.03.20 11:14:00 - [11] - Quote Confirming strangely emptied belts in Thiarer in Ammatar and next door in Orva. .....and coming off of a Monday ?????

My Postman Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire 42	Posted - 2012.03.20 11:16:00 - [13] - Quote I realized the same as OP, when i logged today belts were empty (!). Even scordite was mined out (lol). 2 weeks ago the population of my home suddenly dropped from 15-20 to 5 (!). Now they are back. And we are talking highsec, gents.

Vaerah Vahrokha Vahrokh Consulting 398	Posted - 2012.03.20 11:27:00 - [15] - Quote Today I passed thru some systems I know for a long time and indeed the local count was 3 times as much as the day after the last ban and 70% of the "full bots" situation we have some past times.

I've got people who read EVE News 24 and they tell me there hasn't been an 'all clear' post yet. It's not Rocket Surgery

Avila Cracko Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 176	Posted - 2012.03.20 12:02:00 - [18] - Quote Yea, they are back... That's just sad.
MadMuppet Kerguelen Station 182	Posted - 2012.03.20 13:29:00 - [19] - Quote Well it will be an interesting test of response times. If CCP is slow enough in responding it will still be a potentially viable method of earning isk in the game. So long as the response times is greater than the training time plus operations cost recuperation time plus minimum desired profits earned time, it is going to keep going on. Two months to train a Hulk, plus the ship. Just over 1.5 billion isk in hardware and PLEX. If the bot can make 100+ mil isk a day it would need about two weeks of 'getting away with it' to pay for itself before becoming profitable. That would be your 'minimum first response time'. A two week ban would add another 500mil loss for another PLEX, but that would only require 4-5 days to recoup, so there is your 'second response time'. Coming out of the second ban (another PLEX of 500mil) you again need to respond in 4-5 days or they make a profit again. The ban hammer then falls on the account. So they need to keep it within a 22 days tracking window to burn them down to no profit, more or less. I don't always finish my commentary, but when I do
Nirnias Stirrum Ore Mongers BricK sQuAD. 33	Posted - 2012.03.20 13:58:00 - [20] - Quote Yup the day the bans stopped my local went from around 40 down to below 20.. I noticed last night local is back up to higher 30's! Tis a sad sad day!
David Grogan The Motley Crew Reborn 313	Posted - 2012.03.20 14:29:00 - [21] - Quote looks like this might be a good time for a hulkageddon event to celebrate 10 years of bots in eve online. Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.
mechtech Ice Liberation Army 143	Posted - 2012.03.20 14:45:00 - [22] - Quote :/ This is why I'm a proponent of perma-bans for botters.

I'm not certain, but I think the more serious botters use programs that read the game's memory. That's tampering with the client and that's a 'first strike and you're out' kind of offense. http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/Tobiaz/sig_complaints.gif How about fixing image-linking on the forums, CCP?

Unfortunately by the time I get home from work, they are gone along with most of the ore in system. (US TZ) The removal of mining and market bots has really made the game more enjoyable for me as I never realized this is how it SHOULD be. This should be a weekly effort - not an annual one.

These are multi-billion isk operations. Suiciding in high-sec would hurt you more than them. They make billions a day and replacing the odd barge is pennies.
