I had seen so many “I found a bot, reported it and CCP does nothing” posts, and there is also saying that CCP’s security department is heavily overloaded. But my question is, how much potential in bot detection do we players have? To what extent can players help CCP in its campaign against bots? I got inspired by Project Discovery. For half a buck worth of in-game currency per hour([https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/76vdkm/project\_discovery\_40\_million\_isk\_per\_hour\_alpha/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/76vdkm/project_discovery_40_million_isk_per_hour_alpha/)) you can hire a guy to find exoplanet for you. What if you use similar rewards to find bots instead?
