CCP really needs to look at the root of the issue which is making isk in game in any way is terribly boring. Ratting or mining or hauling or missioning. It doesn't matter how you make your money they are all incredibly dull. The amount of time you have to devote to turn any profit especially ratting and mining is ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that if bitters are completely removed before any changes or fixes are put into place to resolve this issue the market willsuffer. Prices will soar an the output ofitems and ships will decrease. I doubt many people realise just how much the current mlarket is dependent on botters especiallythe miners. Let me say though I am not condoning or supporting them but most of the boys are a result of the game being just so dull and repetitive in the ways we make our isk. Incursions however are a good contrast as they are fun and enjoyable in how we make our money. But the problem still is that's its hard and boring to make isk especially in low and null sec. If we could find new ways to get people to actively engage the game to make isk and make it time effective we could seriously reduce the amount of botters in the game. Banning bots wont silver the problem as to why there are bots. It will just cause further issues down the road. Ccp needs to look at the initial reasons why people not and improve resolve and enhance the ways we make our isk in an effective and timely manner.

That is like saying I don't want to work in RL to pay for the things I need/want. We as a society give value to money because it is the direct result of producing or doing something that people value. To remove value from ISK (making it easy to get and thus meaningless) removes all value to things related to it. If the ship that you pewpew and destroy takes no effort to replace, your killing of that ship is meaningless because it has no real value. This in turn removes any value to PVP combat, the thing in which IGÇÖm sure you want to be able to do more of by GÇ£making ISK easierGÇ¥ to get.

We have and will continue to discuss changes to trials but our approach has always been to try and design a game that is engaging for people rather than one that's hard for botters if that makes sense.

On a personal note, CCP Soundwave's cosplay-fit 6pack abs have inspired me to purchase a gym membership so all of you who have expressed heartfelt concern about my physical health may now sleep easier!

[2) If I was going to loan someone money I'd make sure I knew who they were etc. In the cases this has popped up the person in question was a well known RMTer. There's no magic formula for this.

I don't wanna be the Snitch here, but I think this guy named RANdom 01 is using a bot. I've seen him botting or what I suspect as botting always around 1 am to maybe 5 am. Me and my Corp. have seen him multiple times during Mining Operations (I was using my other Character, not this one) I leave it up to you, CCP, to decided what to do with him. Botting is not cool and unfair for the rest of us. Mei Ling Cobon-Han is my Main
