Why were so few botters dropped into Yulai?

1. Nope, sorry :) I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that there have probably been CCPers in every major powerblock over the years though. I personally used to be a member of one, but it's been a few years now since I did nullsec wars.
2. At least 20!

another one, though probably not directly for GMs: supercarrier size rework when? the larger aeon model was amazing

When will Faction Warfare get a proper rework? Aside from the non tethering in hostile space nothing has happened to FW since the inferno patch. In particular how easy it is to abuse FW missions.

What's the best story you experienced as a GM?

The greatest concerns I hear about are, can my graphic card "insert name" run this game on high settings?

And why nearly 50 % of the Goon Bots killed in Yulai seemingly knew their fate and managed to drop corp right before ?

I think most of us, myself included, are total videogame nerds.

At the risk of being judged by the PC master race, GM Fate and I have an unhealthy addiction to collecting platinum trophies on playstation... please send help...

Fair, but like we've seen with groups like kids with guns and a number of the rental alliances in the past they just end up cycling characters through either the same corps or rejoining the rental alliances with different corps once one gets banned/neg walleted. The rental managers know whats going on and facilitate them doing it but we never hear of them being reprimanded for it? The major problem of alliances and alt corps being setup for the sole purpose of distancing botting from the main alliance won't stop until the repercussions are felt up the chain

characters

Without naming names (you guys already did it!) - I dismantled 3 corporations from a problematic rental alliance earlier this week. This is not really visible to you guys as players, because as you said, one corp vanishes - another one replaces them. I also seize the ISK they pay in rent but it usually doesn't dent the wallets of the facilitators. This is happening behind the scenes on a daily basis but outside of the email sent to people who report bots which CCP takes action against, there isn't much for you guys to go on.

When a corporation is dismantled anyone who isn't involved in whatever cheating activity was taking place is removed from the corporation. All assets in space are blown up.

A lot of this is manual and takes time... That's why internal tooling is really important.

Hey, I love the game and love the community but I would say botting empires are probably the biggest existential threat to the game right now. - What new steps are you taking to further combat botting? - Do you have any big plans for a better system than player reports, because when a group has eyes at the base of a pipe, there will be characters never caught and reported.

Can you put the aeon back to it proper size of 9km and upsize the rest of them?
