Disclaimer: This is a full scale bitter vet post (unsubbed since a year and haven't really played since about one and a half years).

A game, where earning ingame-money via PvE is done in the most efficient way by a bot, because he does the job basically as good or better than a human player, has some design issues.

That is all.

Oh, and snipe.

Out of curiosity, what MMO would not fall under your description above? Every one I can think of, PvE botting = more in-game money, more efficiently than a normal content-playing person doing it.

Sorry for the late reply. From the top of my hat, just one MMO, that I can name out of personal experience: Darkfall.

It is basically impossible to make a bot for PvE, because it is very FPS'ish and if you want to earn money in a reasonable manner of time, there is no other way, than having a real player behind the screen.

This doesn't mean, that you don't need bots in this game. If you don't use them or at least well written scripts to skill, you are definitely in for the long run, until you have a decent character. But this way, you actually burn money and don't generate it, or rather "regs" to be more precise. And you can use bots in the game to farm some minerals, because you just have to stand in front of a node and press the left mouse button every ten seconds for that, but you can generate the same ressources in a far more efficient and faster way, if you do it by actually playing and do some PvE.

[FatFreddy]

If you're going to reference Darkfalls absolutely terrible grind and requirement of macros to run you character into a wall overnight to level stats, at least include the fact that everyone who heard the clonk-clonk of your pickaxe, or decided to check that lone resource spot out could literally waltz up while you were afk mining and gank you, much easier and harder to avoid than due to the non-existance of local and not being able to warp off to a point at fuckyou, third star from the right

Man, sometimes I wonder about RMTers. Many of us play games to role play some sociopathic BAD DUDE out for himself. Then there is the guys that are true professionals in every sense of the world and actually do it in games and live the "risk reward equation" with real income on the line. Those folks are the true optimiziers that pushes the boundaries of what is possible, in every sense of the word.

[Irion]

If this is some 'pre-fanfest publicity' then why hasn't there been any actual publicity yet from CCP?

And if any of these Bot owners are going to Fanfest they should give them special colour coded nametags to show their income source.

I'd resub all my accounts even the one I sold the character (for isk) on right now if they did this.

Buy high, sell low?

WTF kind of investment strategy are you giving... You're supposed to buy when they are low, then sell high. Those people won't be dumping their tengu alts that quickly with the ban on.

[TotallyNotDaneel]

What if they want to buy more asap to replace their banned accounts..?

[punkboy101]

Already happening, lot's of bidding by the same chars on Tengu pilots in the sales forums.

The spice ISK must flow

[Rakshasa The Cat]

What if they want to buy more asap to replace their banned accounts..?

And get banned again?

Some of those banned had only been running their bot for a few hours, so until the bot makers figure out how it got detected it doesn't make much sense to get back on the macro.

BUT WAIT, THERE IS EVEN MORE! From now on, and this current wave is included, characters who receive a warning such as this will have the characters locked to the account. This means that once you've received a warning for botting your character transfer privileges have been revoked in perpetuity.

put right into the 0wnzone
