Are you then going to say “if 90% were bots then there would be no server”?

I asked you a direct question.  
Would you not care if say, 90% of EVE PCU was bots?

If you cannot clarify your question as requested then I cannot give an honest answer.

Yes or no will suffice.

You didnt ask me to clarify my question.  
You asked me to foretell how I would respond to your answer (which you havent provided).

You cant expect me to answer your questions, if you wont answer mine.

This time, I will extend an olive branch.  
No, I would not say that in that case there would be no server, if you said you didnt care if that was the case. Its entirely possible that there would still be a server, even with 90% being bots.

So you would continue playing EVE on a server where PCU is 90% bots because it wouldn’t bother you?

Is that correct?

It would follow that would be the case, yes?

So in your opinion, CCP might as well remove the restrictions on botting, for all you care.

Ok. Thankfully that is not up to you.

Been quite a week.  
Ima admitted to not caring if CCP makes any money.  
Ramona admitted to not caring if people bot.  
Now we start to see the truth behind the avatars.

I was just making certain.

I find your view reprehensible and I hope CODE hunts you directly as a self-stated bot-supporter.

Wow I got a double appreciation today from you.

The fact that ypu find me reprehensible fills my heart Salvos. I will strive to do anything tthat can increase your self declared personal dislike for me.

And Im more than happy to provide myself for any punishment CODE deems fit for whatever it is you think Ive done.

IIll be in the dungeon when youre ready, Ima 🙂

I dont think there are many in EVE that wouldnt find your support of bots reprehensible.

CCP for certain does not agree with you.  
CODE hates bots, bot-aspirants and bot-supporters.

Evidence my support.

Not caring is not supporting.

Not caring about you for example is not equal to me wishing you harm.

I just dont care.

But if you have evidence, then by yoyr iwn point of view you should feel compelled to report me.

So do it

There was a time when a bot-supporter like you would have been utterly crucified on this forum and ingame.

Unfortunately not.

For supporting bots, you should be tarred, feathered and railroaded out of EVE.
