Eh, not really. You can fly a ship to a safespot with an alt, eject it, then fly the main and board. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Working as intended, if someone is botting and ends up with a short term ban, negative wallet and a useless account then in my eyes it's all good, CCP and the general population don't want players who automate their gameplay, they ruin it for the people who are actually at their computer playing the game. War hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. |

After the recent bannings for botting and RMT, The Nosy Gamer has been posting some of the tears from the little scum buckets using botting software and finding Sreeg and Stillman's team sending them packing with account bans. EnjoyJust for a little preview, I found this one particularly funny Quote: godless: banned 2 accounts. 1 only macroing. I am switching to another game after 7 years playing it. This game is for ******* ccp's friends. I don't have a public IP so it's kinda weird they banned me 2 accounts.
Tears are always extra salty and delicious when they come from cheaters. Thanks for the laugh. |

So is the gameplay of WoW, Guild Wars, and every MMO out there. All this means is that whenever the bots get persistent, we get persistent in killing them. At least here in Eve Online we get to kill our targets without needing their consent.
This relying on stupidly boring grinding is what is making the whole MMO genre to slowly lose popularity.
I never liked Korean super grinders but even the Western MMOs can be quite bad at it.
Where's the feeling of "epicness" when all you do 90% of the time is farming boar intestines for some faceless NPC?
I mean, you read a Tolkien book (or a Sci Fi magazine to stay in theme) where you see those Shiny Stainless Heroes hopping from epic deed to epic deed. You get sold the epic MMO title and then all you get is "Apprentice Wooden Sword", some rags and go to kill boars which WILL give you the required experience to kill those badass level 9000 dragons later.

Yes sweet sweet Botting tears....
thank you for pointing to the Noisy Gamer post it was enjoyable read I agree with several people: CCP needs to focus most of eve's recources on FIS, but the development of WIS still needs to continue, just as a slower and more efficient pace. In eve I wish to be more than just a machine. |

No it doesn't. It just has to be difficult and time-consuming. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

I've tried to station trade few times with players who had negative wallet - once it failed but on other occasions it has worked. (I havn't tried this recently so I don't know how it works currently.)
EDIT: And the reason for those trades: They had bought PLEX from CCP to get rid of negative wallet, but could not sell PLEX on market - so they wanted to station-trade the PLEX. New to EVE? Don't forget to read: The Manual * The Wiki * The Career Options * and everything else |

Sounds like a recipe for a potential trade scam.  Welcome to Eve Online. Don't expect people to be nice to you. |

This!
I myself have been funding my 0.0 PvP life for quite a long time with buying plexes. I am terrible at eve PvE, beacause it really is boring as hell. Same problem with oh'so many other MMO's.
I also suck at PvP so much, I dont get my iskies from there.
I only wish, some day the PvE content of EVE would be so interesting, that I actually could be arsed to do it. At this time having 4 accounts and 7 characters bound to pvp is relly heavy for my RL wallet :p
And buying those plexes from CCP ofc. |

I love the continued shock at having their accounts "that weren't even botting" also banned. One of them even renamed Eve Pilot to Notepad. I can't believe that didn't work!  |

LOL
I mean the PVE in eve isn't THAT bad. It just has to be done in groups. Solo PVE is boring as hell but doing missions or incursions with a bunch of corp mates on comms is generally entertaining since it distracts you from the tedium of what your doing.
Maybe PVE will get a workover this winter. |

Someone should suggest he try sitting at the computer and actually playing the game himself.
If all you're doing is botting, and using botting income to fund more bots, then the only one who really stops playing the game is the bots, not the players who turn them on in the morning,
Good riddance to bad trash. And nice work, CCP. Keep the heads rolling and i may start mining again. |

In real effect, the accounts are dead unless they PLEX like mad on an Alt account

Good work to CCP.
The mentality of these guys would be classified as insane if it weren't the same old entitlement mentality that seems to be prevalent everywhere these days. Makes me wanna throw up all over their ugly faces hehehahahahhaha...
So what's up with only the 2 week ban... seems to me with as difficult as it appears to catch these losers the least would be a permanent ban for life... and If I could think of something more severe that would be legal, I would suggest that also.
CCP does know that when these turds come back and get their characters unscrewed they will simply go back to the same activity right?

Given that many of the botters will have been using their ISK to buy PLEX to fund their botting accounts, it will be interesting to see the effect that this has on PLEX prices. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

Point has been made a thousand times in other threads. Two things to consider.
1) The fact that you have to grind is part what makes taking other peoples stuff so rewarding. If pve was the **** in this game, then who would really case about inflicting losses?
2) Most important, it wouldn't matter if the game had the most engaging awesome PvE in all of gaming history, people would bot it. Lots of reasons but the result would be the same. Look at every other multiplayer game on a pc, any FPS, RTS, MMO. They all having botting problems. Ppl like to cheat =P If you don't like it, you should go and ride your Emo high-horse all the way back to WoW.

Another thing to consider is that the big reason mining has such a poor isk/hour ratio is because of the botters.
To hear them saying the reason they have to bot is because of problems they themselves created is amusing, to say the least. |

good thread. my favourite:
Quote:Gregar: I have yet to be banned and have been using the BOT on 2 accounts - I think I might have got lucky though as I stopped playing for about a month when everyone was getting banned and I had a day off when the next lot of people started getting banned... *insert happy smiley here*
EDIT - Both accounts just got banned..

I have noticed that simple modules, basic crap dropped by rats, actually have normal prices. Usually the only way to get ISK from them was to reprocess, like everything you try to sell is 1000 percent below regional average. Now a module that is worth say 20000 ISK actually sells for that give or take a few thousands.
All we need is a scarlet letter program to put the cherry on the cake.
