Do you have any sources for the CCP bans?
Hey, CCP sends out notifications to bot reports which we action against. So if you found some probable bots and used the in-game report system you may receive notifications via email. https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000249125-Reporting-suspected-bot-users
i caught a similar haul once in high sec it was the best ever, one of those invulns worth a bunch. i do the sites in a jackdaw usually... don't think i've done a 9/10 though!
Hard to report bots in WH's. Any advice? Can't see them, hard to get there, ect.
Tough one but really good point... will raise this internally and see, because I think if the behavior isn't being reported by players in-game CCP is less likely to find it.
That's not to say you can't be banned for cheating without being reported, it's not the case at all.
Also even if Team Law and Order gets more visibility into WH cheating, this won't really translate into more visibility for you as a player, nor would you be informed of any action taken, if they weren't reported in the first place... Hummm...
I'll mull on this one...
Read moremost of the anti-cheating efforts are manual so far
Unless you guys hire more people or are knowingly slacking, the state of botting will not change when backlog is the reason people aren't being banned.
Hey I hope you had a nice holiday and a happy new year man. Real human beings take vacation.
Of course the goal is to automate as much as we possibly can :)
ever considered releasing statistics on the best bot reporters? even a leaderboard showing, for example, which alliance reports the most bot vs which alliance harbours the most bots might be fun.
a witch hunt is always fun
i dig that idea gonna borrow it
.... As in 2020? Or like ytd
arent those the same thing? so yes to both, these are 2020 bans
There's a difference between a player paying attention and a bot. That bubble trick that instantly brakes them being pretty obvious.
BTW if you are reported as a bot but you aren't actually cheating it should not be a concern for you.
The reports are cleared if they are found to be inconclusive or otherwise inaccurate.
Furthermore reports count as multipliers for various detection methods, so a report in and of itself is probably not enough to get you on team security's radar, you would need to also be "doing stuff in-game".

Read moreWe got 38 domi bots banned in the north catch pocket, 2 days layer it looks like they have been replaced as NPC kills are back up to ~15k npcs/24hrs/system.

Banning bots is great, but we need to keep up the pressure to make the activity unprofitable, and I would really like to see more of a crack down on the enablers (someone is inviting those 38 bots to corp and someone is inviting that corp to alliance).
Yeah man, I am in agreement. These guys are by and large repeat offenders; you can expect them to come right back. Approximately ~2000 accounts this year so far... Granted, most of the anti-cheating efforts are manual so far, so there was a bit of a backlog from the holiday season.

It means the report resulted in action being taken, whether that is a temporary or a permanent ban. There's a two-strike system with the intention of allowing players to "go legit" after being caught cheating once. Unfortunately, I think most of the people being caught today are repeat offenders, in which case permanent bans are issued.
Also, CCP bans are sweeping - they are not limited to the offending account, we'll take out everything we can tie to the offending accounts. We use various technical methods here, as well as in-game transactions to tie accounts together. EVERYTHING is logged, kept and analyzed.

luv it! happy new year
pm the ticket ID so i can check on it pls
So I can use it... but I can't?
If I can get my account back (which doesn't seem likely based on what I've heard), I'll just play EVE natively. I only tried it on GeForce cause that's how I play all my other games.
You can use it and you being banned is probably a mistake on CCP's behalf. Sorry about that. The thing is, fraudsters use the service as well, and you probably looked like a fraudster to someone, and then you were banned as a precaution. Very sorry for the trouble. PM your ticket ID and I will check on it.
wew lad, that is an old ip from before ccp moved to grandagardur 8, so pre 2005-2006 i think?

there's no way that thing is patching :P
Eve has player botting problems. My suggestion would be to use a computer if you can. Almost any potato will still run Eve. You are likely to run into this problem again even if you successfully create an account and are able to play for a while.
nvidia potato is great
Using GeForce Now is the reason you were banned. The EULA expressly doesn't allow using a streaming platform to play the game.
Using GeForce Now / Google Stadia or whatever other Streaming method you want to play EVE is totally fine. Unfortunately it's also why you were banned. That is on CCP; we need to be able to figure out the difference between a fraudster and a new customer. Sorry for the trouble, esteemed poopy246. Please file a ticket and the GM's should get you sorted ASAP.
Good to know that CCP fights botting more serious these days.
Very excited about the new team! Also pls no botting :3
you've got mail
last time i had graph envy it was ccp quant... now you've gone and done it, larrikin!
