What are they doing now?
Not spinning in station ?
I am still in it. â â â â null, Iâd be hisec player if CCP didnât ruin hisec.
Now they ruin null as well. CCP, where to? I donât want to deal with wh eviction shitpies, and I got nothing to do in lowsec.

It does not help to make bots less effective. Who cares? You have to make them ineffective. Also canât they hide in a big powerblock where it will still be fairly safe to rat/mine?
This is why EVE is Dying!
You shouldnât give 48 hours notice to these snivelling carebears. 
Wouldnât such an event be more entertaining as a complete surprise? Or ideally, just give 48 hours notice to me and me alone.
Nice to hear of a positive change for once.

Bots completely depend on local cause while they can have spotters on gates they canât know if a nuet has left local via wormhole, jump or simply logging out. They also canât know if a nuet is around when starting up and logging in. In other words itâs a crippling lack of Intel for something that has no critical thinking or communication ability and is completely dependent on good Intel for all its desisions. Catching a bot during blackout is as easy as cloaking up and waiting a couple minutes for it to think the coast is clear cause it doesnât and canât know otherwise or getting spotted coming into system and them attempting to catch it when it tries to move to another system.
There is plenty of other games that could use your money
CCP even failed with NES
Open _any_other_MMO and look at their store, look at skins, open NES and compare
I DO want to spend some PLEX on few good skins i like but LOL THEY ARE NOT THERE to start with so CCP does not want my moeny (yes yes CCP where are the RATASUNSET skins for Amarr?)

I thinking CCP has realized that they have a Major botting problem thatâs endemic in the null sec area.
Itâs not as bad as the stagnation problem, but easier to diagnose.
The plex price problem is a pretty clear indication⌠these guys are plexing their accounts and there are so many doing it thst theyâre trying to consume more plex than the game is buying.
Thatâs causing the price of plex to go up dramatically, which they complain about but theyâre driving it.
Theyâre toxic, they arenât good to the actual plyerbase that Eve needs, and theyâve got a quantity of wealth that doesnât really fit. Iâm sure CCP sees this as tearing off a bandaid.
It hurts for a second, but then itâs all better.

They can kinda hide. Read my last comment up from this one. The bot will only face that a bit less often inside a powerblock.
Hey ccp falcon i wounder how long your gonna have your job once the first months profit margins come in and it shows a 50 to 80% down spike and the investors who bought the game are now paying more to run it then they make feel about this. i hope you get fired at the end of this. another dumb idea by falcon.

High PLEX flow and demand is GOOD for CCP coz they have larger $$ income per PLEXed day compared to $$ income per SUBbed day
Sounds like your confused about a great many things.

hey falcon rember when you said fozzie sov would end botting and made it worse.
While I doubt it was his idea, there are at least half-dozen more reasons, including criminal code, to fire Falcon.
CCP please nerf falconâs job security.

Yeah but when REAL players canât afford it, thereâs a problem.
maybe these REAL players could find a REAL Job to be able to pay 15buck a month for a game they like?
(BTW you all know that Russians pay like half price of this compared to other people?)

Great idea and about time.
its gonna get worse because those who buy plexs are also the paying sub people and when they say no more then those who cant afford to pay cash for a plex wont have them to buy period even if its worth 10 bill for a months sub. and all ship productions are gonna sky rocket an then the real issue of no cash inflow will happen and eve will be shut down because they cant afford to keep the servers running

LoL ikr⌠these people be crazy. like not supplying highsec with goods is actually great for mission runners; might even make it worth stopping to actually loot.

Yea. Regional pricing. The cost of living there is a bit higher on top of a smaller average wage. So to even have a decent chance of selling a sub to them the price needs to be shaved down. Most games on Steam and other digital distributors works the same way.
