I have a question CCP Guard
"Neither RMT nor bot-related activity have any place in New Eden any longer"
odd choice of phrasing on the dev blog, implication being CCP condoned botting till recently....

Seem to remember reading something a while back about the way youtube handles IP claims, ie someone claiming eve vids etc places adds on others vids where the one claiming IP rights gets the advertising revenue, also seems a good way for RMT crowd gaining free aditional money for the adds, might be worth either yourself seeing about disputing the ownership of the vids on youtube or better CCP games doing so.
atm in middle of something in eve, when i can i'll see about tracking down the news article about this and post a link on this thread.

Shattered crystal, Deepspace deposit (battleclinics resell site) are all authorised reseller of eve time codes which are convertable to plex etc, what he means is something like www.randomrmt.com (not a actual site, just an example) who offer to sell accounts (EULA violation) items like titans etc (all items etc are CCPs ip and property, so you cant sell what you dont own) plex which is a ingame item, and isk which is ingame currency for real life money, ie -ú stirling, $ USD etc etc etc

I hope CCP realizes that by banning the bots, their going to massively alter the in-game market. From what information they've released, about 75% of the current items on the market is bot produced, what happens when that 75% turns to 0?.
means players themselfs will pick up the slack, hell mineral prices are going up all time atm, which is making it worthwhile for the actual miners in game to go mining, knock on effect of is higher costs for a lot of other things, think it's fun to gank something that cant fight back in highsec like hulks, might cause people to reconsider when their destroyers nevermind anything else costs them an arm and a leg. atm sooner or later market prices will stabalize again, be interesting to see what things do stablise at price wise lol.
Quote:CCP's already fubar'd. My account was banned for "RMTing", I sold a motherf***ing character, using the forums, and they said I sold it for real life cash. That's 50mill SP toon I'm not getting back, nor the 8billion it was sold for.
which case pertition it, if you sold the char through the char bazzar then to my knowlage this shouldn't have happened, find the thread you posted into the char bazar and link it in the pertition, fact your able to post on the forums says you have a full account thats active.
Quote:I hope this current "War on Bots" turns around and bites them in the ass. It'll be a well-deserved kick in the butt for the failure of not looking more than 2 ft in front of them.
If players cba putting the effort in, in the first place why should they profit from it? if anything actions against botting and RMT in eve is LONG OVERDUE.

Sreegs one suggestion i have for banned accounts besides not bio massing the chars so the name cant be reused is this.
where the banned RMT/booting account has officer/faction/deadspace items either on ships or in hangers, rather than simply remove them etc, put them up for auction and have the isk/equiv plex amount be donated monthly to charrity like make a wish foundation.

have you ever tried to petition anything with a banned account? its rather tricky lol
Nothing stopping you opening a trial account and submitting a pertition that way.

as long as you don't consider the risk of getting caught, RMT ISK is of course substantially cheaper than what you would pay to get the same amount through GTCs.
This. Simple economics dictates that RMT ISK has to be cheaper then GTC/PLEX-sourced ISK to the consumer, otherwise the consumer will do the smart thing and just buy a GTC and turn it into PLEX (or buy PLEX directly from CCP). In fact, it has to be "much" cheaper (for varying amounts of "must") in order for the consumer to take the illegal route of RMT over the sanctioned and protected route of GTC/PLEX. GTC/PLEX is a very smart move by CCP. It takes the wind out of the sails of the RMT'ers, who now have to sell their product at a discount and it provides a legal, sanctioned, can't-be-scammed method of exchanging GTCs / PLEX. (We'll ignore the "getting scammed after you receive the PLEX in-game issue. That's on the player's head for being dumber then the average bear.) When you pay some dodgy RMT site money-for-ISK, there's no guarantee other then word-of-mouth or reputation (hahaha) that you'll actually get what you paid for. Heck, probably at least some of them will try and serve up a trojan infection while you visit so they can steal your login details and clean out your wallet.
I had a friend on wow, who bought gold a few times from several sites and on at least 2 occasions she got royaly scammed, when said RMT sites failed to deliver and the thing is it's not like she could get the transaction reversed by her credit card companys due to then they'd contact blizzard etc etc ie hello ban hammer lol nevermind fact that several of the sites sent her AV software nuts with warnings about viruses and trojans trying to load from said sites.
so next time anyones tempted to buy isk from a RMT site consider this, they can scam you if you want and you'll be out of pocket irl with no way of reversing the transaction without risking being banned when your credit/debit card provider contacts CCP to check about it, and secondly your very liable to find viruses and trojans being loaded onto your PC via RMT sellers sites...
