> [@Wade\_Deadpool\_Willson](#): > > OFC they won’t ayy, glad you understand why it would not be in CCP’d interest to reveal specific information, nice job dear. Sucks that your easily afk-able and bot-able source of near risk-free wealth got nerfed. But you know what they say. Adapt or die. ---

Rather than trying to catch the bots, simply make the content complicated enough so you can’t bot it. Ever heard people afk data/relic sites? I don’t, and I don’t think such thing exists. ---

I just started playing a few weeks ago after a 7 year hiatus and am now immediately reminded of the reasons that I stopped playing. CCP tends to try to solve every problem by taking things away from the player and trying to force them to leave HiSec and participate in a part of the game they do not like - namely getting blobbed by a bunch of people who themselves have ISK fawcetts available to them with very little risk. ---

I’m sure every game developer on the planet would love to hear your fix of making contact that is “complicated enough so you can’t bot it.” ---

> [@Chan\_aar](#): > > Actually I think there are bots for data and relic sites. Ugh…you learn something new everyday. Still the idea is the same, make it harder to bot. I remember you said something about making the sites more variable, which might be a better solution… ---

Very pissed off about this nerf. I spent the last week optimizing these sites for myself as a way of making money during off times and now all that time is wasted. Everyone has already said a lot of the things on my mind but I’ll add one more. Punishing a player base because of someone doing ■■■■ they aren’t supposed to be doing is unacceptable to me. Hoping that CCP will revert this change by making the sites more variable or more dynamic in some way instead of just taking it away. Doubt that will ever happen but a man can dream. RIP the time I spent working on these… ---

I don’t know about you guys, but making over 400m isk per hour in near risk-free sites seems kinda broken to me. Look at all these kids crying about how their risk free isk faucet was finally turned off. ---

That was very misleading and confusing since they did it today. So one could think it refers to the past. Plus they were not adjusted, they were just hammered! But that has been the constant CCP PR strategy to make fools of players.
