I get that point, but come on, how often do you see bots in Eve?

And there’s more than enough resources to go around.

And who wants to grind?

I can’t stand it when players think it’s doing a favour to tell ccp stuff about other players. It spoils the fun.

See them all the time while pvping, they are the ones who are already warping off the site 0.1 seconds after you enter system.

Because I use logoffski to catch the bot’s but when you log in your already in warp, you can scan towards the direction your warping and you can count the seconds while scanning in that direction - their align time/warp to get when they initiated warp and its usually immediately.

Also if you do the logoffski 10 more times waiting the same amount of time each the bot will be there every time and warp off before/as you land.

Wow…

And they can programme these bot accounts to actually farm, using modules effectively and avoiding targets?

If only I was this smart…

Bot programmer’s are not smart they are retarded for needing to cheat to win at eve, also their bot’s are primitive they don’t learn they just do the same thing over and over.

Bots affect me directly.

Indirectly they affect any player by increasing ISK production, thus plex & every other item.

Bots increase the prices of PLEX, Skill Injectors and Rare Modules in EvE, while depressing the prices of everything else on the market. That is the effect of their monotonous never-ending grinding.

what’s the problem then?

ccp create a game that relies on monotonous grind for pleasure, so players create bots to do it for them…

players can’t be blamed for the effects of their hard work.

Maybe we need BETTER SHIPS or more fun gameplay. Then players would spend time playing instead of using bots.

PLEASE CAN WE HAVE A HIGH-SEC CARRIER

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.

Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

off topic pls del…

what i was trying to put forward is that bots are being like humans and now humans will become just as efficient as a bot due to brain implants as per a news article I had read.

Everything is easy to bot. Because every repetitive task that live people do, machines can do better. Drones and such are just easier to automate, require much less coding and has no need for ammo. That does not mean a missile boat is altogether impossible to bot.  
Especially when there is some serious $ at the end of it.

And that is the answer to the OP question.  
There are bots because there are people who buy bots’ product.

More important are people that buy products that bots produce. Isk and plex via RMT. I don’t think people will bot just to bot. Waste money, money on energy bills just to get more pixels.
