Doesnt look like it by your posts in this thread.
You seem to be fine with CCP not doing more against botting, and actively resisting any push for them to do more than now.
All of EVE is impacted by bots, just as all of EVE is impacted by any action in EVE.
I think its a very big problem, and more should be done to curtail them, now, before it gets even worse.
That is legal.
What bots do, is not.
This isnt rocket science, my dear.
I havent āmade upā any facts.
Ive just stated my own estimates and deductive conclusions.
And yes, I think the probability of you benefiting from bots, or botting yourself, is high enough to exceed the threshold of reasonable doubt, based on your constant attempts to down-play the magnitude of botting, its harm to EVE and for CCP not to be more aggressive/pro-active in reducing bot proliferation in EVE.
It doesnt surprise me that you do not, as based on the above, you would lose, everytime.
I can only conclude that you are deliberately trolling and/or trying to downplay the damage botting is doing to this game, and that CCP should do more, because you benefit from botting yourself.
No reasonable person not involved in botting themself, or profiting from it, in this circumstance, would even peripherally argue against CCP doing more to stop this cancer from getting even worse.
Do you agree, or disagree, that CCP should do more to stop the cancer of botting?
/facepalmā¦
I didnt ask if they āneedā to do so.
My god, what has happened to peopleās reading comprehension?
It was a very simple and direct question.
Agree, or disagree, and then you can qualify your answer in explanation after that.
This is not fking rocket science.
Do you disagree with the analogy of botting<->RMT<->Account hijacking as a cancer in a game (in this case, EVE) that proliferates via metastasis and gets worse the less is done about it?
No, you made up a question of your own contrivance, and answered that instead of mine.
This whole time youāve been having a discussion with yourself and your own imagination.
Its no wonder you fold now when you are cornered out of your own fantasy into what has actually been asked of you by me.
Nothing to do with my feelings.
Its objectively what you did.
I know people like you, unfortunately.
You find direct and simple questioning of your views as oppressive and threatening.
The reason for that is your own insecurity and attempt to control a world you cannot control, so you try to control the circumstances of a question, by changing them, as an illusion of power.
You did not answer my questions as asked.
But yes, you did answer in your own way, and also thereby revealed yourself more than just answering directly would have.
False.
I asked the simple, direct questions sincerely.
You did not reciprocate.
You didnt want to answer, because an honest direct answer would have revealed you.
Instead, you contrived a question of your own making, and answered that as convenient.
Ive seen enough of your behavior to be pretty sure I got you pegged.
And no, I cant post it here, as it would be deemed āoffensiveā, though its true nonetheless.
You probably use this as an excuse for anything and everything that is ever asked of you.
Q: Excuse me, do you know the way to Bar X?
A: Do I look like an alcoholic to you?
Very convenient way to avoid actually answering, and a psychological weapon to maintain an illusion of control, dominance and ego.
What you dont understand, aside from the obvious of how to answer a question in proper syntax, is that by evading answering you reveal far more than if you had simply answered. That you evade, clearly indicates what you are evading, as what you wont speak about. Sure, an antagonist wont get a āquoteā of you admitting yourself, but your actual position is obvious nonetheless, as that which you refuse to express/address, and you are trying to keep hidden.
I could also have contrived the questions you asked me, and which I answered as such, as āloadedā.
I did not. I simply answered.
Thats the difference between us.
I dont expect you to understand this, as you are obviously so far deep in your own way of perceiving questions you ādont likeā and/or dont want to answer, as āloadedā.
From this point onward, if you ever again ask me a question, Ill feed you a spoon of your own medicine in response, as evasive and claiming you are āloadingā it.
Lets see how you like that.
Your entire post is loaded, as supporting botting.
How do you like that?
You couldnt even answer if you agree or disagree CCP should do more to address the cancer of botting in EVE, cos apparently the word ācancerā tripped you up (it didnt).
Now suddenly Im the bad guy, according to you, cos I didnt āask you the right wayā.
Pfftā¦
You arent kidding anyone, least of all me,
Another loaded post, in favor of botting.
Let me rephrase, since the term ācancerā was apparently āloadedā to you.
Do you agree, or disagree, that CCP should do more to curtail botting in EVE?
Or is that somehow also āloadedā and unfit for your highness to deign to answer.
Explain why.
I disagree.
Botting, RMT and account hijacking are interlinked, and do immeasurable damage to a game, and will kill it it left unchecked.
Security Team reports, as consistent in average, show they are operating at max efficiency and cant handle more with existing allocated time/resources.
No EVE internal balance/update issue is as important as this, which undermines everything and everyone in EVE.
This my rebuttal.
You had your say, and I had mine.
I can get behind that.
Not because it would fix botting, but it would be a step in the right direction for fixing nullsec in general.

So you havent even seen the data, and yet presume to post as you do on something you have no info on, whilst claiming āweā dont have that info?
The Security Team reports are public. Ive read them.
Do your own fling homework before presuming to speak about the extent of botting in EVE and CCPs 2 staff Security Teams capacity to cope.
Unbelievableā¦
Why have I wasted time on youā¦
Are you going to own that you fked up?
Probably not.
Again with this schizophrenic posting.
I told you this is of utmost importance to me and EVE, yet suddenly you claim ānot important to you, maybe, becauseā. How the fk does that make sense?
Botting, and by adjunct RMT/Account hijacking, effects EVERYONE in EVE negatively and also CCPs revenue.
Its not my data.
Its public as issued by CCP Security Team.
Look it up.
When it affects everyone to even a minimal degree, in total, that is a huge effect.
And no, botting is not āminimalā, its epidemic.
You are simply wrong.
It has always been the biggest issue.
No other issue in EVE, now or before, effects everyone as widely as this does, and CCP revenue.
Botting, RMT and account hijacking are inter-linked, cause imbalance in meta, screw markets and piss off players to no end.
Tell me since you claim its not a big deal, what is a bigger issue than bots/RMT/account hijacking in EVE today?
