Keep up the good work! And congrats on having the courage to remove L4 and L5 missions for Alpha accounts. Restricting the lowest of the hanging fruit hopefully will put some botters out of business and reduce the damage they are doing to our game of those that try to adapt. ---

I do know someone who is doing RMT for years now. I keep reporting them, but nothing is happening. What should I do to bring people to justice? Do I ask my friends to report the bad guy in order to amass the reports? 🤔 ---

Naming and shaming the individuals/alliances who partake in RMT/botting or account hacking would be very welcomed. After all, those players gave up their rights when they decided to cheat. ---

> After investigating further, the decision has been made to place all level 4 and 5 missions behind the requirement to have Omega status, to assist the fight against RMT and botting. By all do you mean just courier missions or every type of missions, security missions included? ---

Thanks for removing the FW bots. It has certainly improved in the area where I live. Removing them is welcome, but will you do anything to the mechanism in FW that allow them to operate? Can you do something to the closing of plexes that make them less easy to script? ---

I’m not particularly bothered what alliance someone is in, or what corp they’re a part of. Our security team is the same. Report it, and when it comes to the front of the queue, they’ll get their asses handed to them if they’re breaking the rules. ---

Glad to hear it’s improving quality of life. Any changes on the PLEX front would be a game design decision, so I can’t really comment on that, but we’ll shoot your feedback over to the team. [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/devblog-security-update-q1-2019/141067.md?page=2)
