“Client side detection or not: we’re coming for the bots. Don’t take my word for it though. Had a meeting with the EVE strategy team yesterday and the decision was unanimous. We have to thoroughly address this problem.” — CCP Peligro (@CCP_Peligro) February 2, 2018
Two views with statements from each.
Capsuleers this is your EvE!
Do you want it to be your game? You decide.
Comments: I have no dog in the battle for EvE in way of territory,alliances or other. What I do have is an interest in playing a game. When I watch a vid clip and hear implied threats and hidden fear,I can but wonder if this person plays EvE the game.
Considering that more than 36500 characters follow him devotedly, which is more than even a total Saturday/Sunday evening online population, I wonder how many people care about botting and buckling up at all.
That people don’t care about what Mittani said or about bots nearly as much as the rage on reddit, the forums and twitter would make you believe. Even if they are not 36500 people, there are still thousands or actual people who invest more than 1 character into this group which actively encourages botting and actively discourages bot reporting. Some people even invest dozens and dozens or characters in that group.
