wasnt a war on bots but a war on RMT, even if found botting if you dont RMT your safe (the DEV blog was informative if dissapointing)

so if thats thier approach to botting, spam bots i rate would fall next to market bots at the bottom of thier list….

Bot spamming has been going on for years and years, mostly done by scammers who probably then RMT the scammed isk

Trials are not an issue. Trials cannot trade to paid or xfer isk. These are alts on paid accounts my friend.

I like that Jita is full os spammers. It gives a text feel to a market place where people shout "BUY MY SHIT" , or "FRESH FISH".
The spammers are just the obnoxious vendors with loudspeakers and playing bad music over and over because they only found one piece of music they like

You remove that, and jita is just another clinically silent video game location.

CCP needs to police up the bots. Simple as that. Their impact on the game is negative in every way.

Oh noes, Jita is not comfy enough, I almost feel sorry for all those sellers, re-sellers, re-re-re-sellers, who have no ISK to fit their 30 bil suicide ships…..I feel like donating another 1 ISK to a moron who will move 30 PLESK in his frigate….

Post every 30 secs, is fine. But the easiest way is to not allow the same exact characters repeated every 5 secs like now.

Or make it so if you link anything, that same exact item contract player name etc can only be done every 3 minutes. That means normal people will copy paste there contracts and it will have the same item yes but different characters in different order, meaning a person on the fly is changing the post.

I work now with Python/C+ alot and making a script to not allow the same exact message over and over is easy as pie…..Truth is CCP gets to brag how much people chat in local and have server logs to back it up so when they advertise to VC`s for funding on projects like Dust and that vampire game they can show them just how active local in Jita is meaning to a avg investor, "Wow this game is massively not just in scale but in player content [Eve-Kill,Battle clinic,Eve mon, EFT] and is also never quiet in local" These players must really be busy and so in depth in game and so devoted to selling items and getting rich they will try to sell a ship or scam for 6 hours straight.

CCP wont block it for the same reason they wont Nerf/Tax Blues, yes it slows the game up and is detremental to fights having 5k players on grid, and now in TiDi in almost 100% of fights, but who cares the players are already junkies who will whiine but not do much else and these blues take in brand new players thus making more of a player base stick around.

So the current players its worse but for investors of massive projects like Dust and other things like millions they need in server upgrades etc, it helps to show fights with 3k members on both sides….It makes it look epic when in reality u can pop and not know it for 3 hours.

Nerf/Tax Blues Nerf/Tax Spam Bots Nerf/Tax mining Bots…..Sorry but all of those are in CCP`s favor and unless it really really pisses us off, it wont change.

if you do that you may as well not have a Jita Local.

Agreed, why is valuable server time wasted on this shite in Jita when we have to suffer 80% TiDi in fleet battles above 200.

Is this what CCP wants? Keeping scammers with a nice response time while the dedicated players of EVE suffer horrendous lag.

When you bridge across systems with fleets of 150-200 and half the fleet gets there and then you wait for a minute for the other half to bridge.

CCP is quite capable of making jita local a special case, afterall the hardware resources are a special case. Put some time and effort into fixing this so that you can take away all that hardware and use it for something that it was actually intended for.

Seriosuly, did the creators of this game envisage so much of their resources going to a shopping centre instead of the battelfield?

Absolutely or something like:

if post# in local > 30/h —> flag
