Problem is they mimic the actions of a new player that has had advice on how not to get caught. The difference is subtle
I just want them gone I am sick of shooting them. Weāre trying to have a war here
They are literally getting past me because I spend 1 minute to post here there are so many of them

And it shows how bad things are if we agree on something
True dat
I donāt think it is just the Min - Amarr war zone I think they are active in the Gal - Cal war zone too

I donāt think weāre saying CCP has given up but they are disposable accounts banning them just delays their return and given how long it takes CCP to be sure they are deserving of the ban hammer it is not affecting them much at all.
Yes that is what we want to do but I can only occupy 1 plex where as I can stop 10 plexes being run by exterminating bots, itās an epidemic.
Hasnāt Eve Online always been very permissive about botting?
There are a bunch all in the same low sec sys right nowā¦ so many that there are 2 at a time landing on accel gatesā¦ etc.
I dont like botsā¦ but maybe they are just a new form of NPC that is ignoredā¦ by Concordā¦ I mean CCP.
They arenāt an NPC they are doing what they are programmed to do by a player as far as I am aware. Help centre referred to as multiplexing and it is apparently contrary to the terms. Not that I have read them to that extent I just noticed a report bot function and decided against installing a virtual operating system for my bot hunters. Although I might quite enjoy writing bot hunting software and matching my programming skills against the bot master but it is kind of ignoring the fact that hundreds of players are involved in a war that isnāt really meant to be settled like that.
End result is more bots
I was being a smart ass ā¦ they do feel like killing NPCs thoughā¦and being ignored by CCP
You would not need very much codeā¦
I was just thinking on how FW is so deadā¦ the bots remind me of NPCsā¦ and perhaps that is why they are ignoredā¦ due to the lack of activity in FW. If all the bots were goneā¦who would be left?
Lastly, if you look at the list of bot names aboveā¦ I think that they 90% are owned by the same accountā¦
Same player probably. Each account can only have one character logged in

You could require a captcha to respawn your clone that would prevent them from being AFK at least

I have seen at least 1/2 of these bots just in 24 hours. There were so many in one system they were tripping out on each other when landing on the same FW gates at the same times.
None of them fight, the ones I looked up do not have a single killā¦ just loss after loss 24/7.
Many operate in a small group of low sec systemsā¦ With the very related names and operating in the same few systems allā¦ in atronsā¦ I think it is definately the same scriptā¦ and I think it is being run by one player for the most part.
Come on CCPā¦ Concord these mofosā¦ This one is easy.
A couple of them are in tristans with a slightly different routine but most are atrons following an identical pattern. 1 is an incursus but has the same pattern as the atrons. These are quite easy to kill compared to a year ago when they had warp core stabs, a more sophisticated loop response to proximity and blacklists. There are punisher and tormentor bots too but I tend to ignore those because I am too busy killing these.
The only way to deal with the blacklists was to create scarecrows
The best way to deal with bots is for CCP to actually make FW more about PVP and less about LP farming.
Thatās a balancing issue and I donāt envy the task, if you stop them farming one way they just start farming a different way.
Iāve not yet heard anyone go into siege mode over my suggestion of a captcha for new pod to spawn. Back in the day you used to have to buy a new pod each time you respawned and I am guessing that people were pleased that they donāt have to do that anymore but would a captcha slow things down too much ? Tick all the boxes containing an Erebus, whatās an Erebus ?

As the bots get killed more often than playersā¦ what about making a loss of LP penalty if you get killed?
50 mil LP per death butā¦ only on Novice gates as that is all the bots use. Not inside complex. That would hurt the bots. Everyone would be hunting them and It would indeed increase the pvp.
Oh and the killer receives the 50 mil LP if the killer is in FW.
