Instead of writing another “bots are bad, ccp pls ban”, I’d like to offer a tool that you can use against bots. Based on the ideas of u/rich000 and evebotdetector.azurewebsites.net this app provides recommendations in which systems you can camp or hunt, and let you compete with others. Place an alt somewhere, let us track your location and get space fame points! Don’t worry: You can disable the tracking or remove all of your data at any time.
Good thing for hunters: Maybe you get whitelisted by botters. That’s even easier than infiltrating their alliance
I’m working on a similar algorithm like evebotdetector does, but encourge more player contribution through camping and providing local scans.
Vision
The app is at a very early stage. Right now we can only guess where bots should be, but over time we will get more precise information to locate particular bots and take down their operations. And maybe even give good bot reports to CCP.
I’d like to further enhance the algorithm, which currently is only based on ratting data, to also include local scans and the corresponding zkill metrics. The algorithm will also make sure that no one is perma camping his/her own system but instead encourage constant rotation. I’m super excited about this project and would love to hear your feedback!
Or, as the OP is doing, players can rise to the challenge of doing it themselves.
CCP could offer some assistance to those willing to take this on (reduced sec/standings losses, for example).
I am finding it a daunting challenge but still willing to whack some bots.
Thank you for the intel! Only a couple of those systems are listed on my overview. I will look into the others and figure out if and how they should appear on the list.
This system for example show nearly no ratting activity, and therefore doesn’t rank high on my list.
Bot Miners are operated by alts who then transfer their ISK to non-alt accounts. How is CCP not able to determine that a Bot Miner gave a real account holder ISK?
Going out on a limb here but I am going to say that Pandemic Legion could be behind the Bot Mining sensation as they tally up nearly a trillion ISK each month.
Pandemic Legion has 3,000 members approx. In order to make 1 trillion ISK a month each PL member would have to make 333,333,333.33 ISK in a months time. or 11,111,111.11 ISK on a daily basis.
From what I have seen in Providence is Pandemic Legion is not actively engaged in ratting to collect ISK. With around 200 of their pilots contesting systems in Providence and not actively ISK farming PL has to be getting their ISK from somewhere.
I would have to think that what PL calls “Renters” could actually be bot miners both in their Sov and in High Sector.
With PL being the most powerful Alliance in New Eden it would be assumed that such activity could potentially go 'unnoticed" much like the Band of Brothers incident in 2007.
Could be botter or multiboxer. Multboxing is allowed, botting and automation isnt. Are their responses automatic and they react en masse? Are they behavioral patterns schemetic and they always react the same? Can you catch one in a bubble trap and it will not react?
Good job! Make sure to get on the tracker
