Hello and welcome back to the forums, I have been expecting you.
Its not as simple as just looking at the hours of activity per day and locking and what ship type is being used and deciding if this is a bot or not.

Team Security changed a few things when it comes to bot detection. Now we investigate the bots (or the characters that are controlled by an automation) much more deeper. We consider multiple things before making the decision to take action or not and if we take action, what type of the action do we want to take, do we remove that specific account immediately and forever from the game or do we issue a temporary suspension to send a message.

This is all done to make sure we do not punish actual players. We are working very hard to make sure there are no false positives. Because a false positive suspension from the game is very bad for everyone as this would mean the following few things:

  • Not guilty player gets punished
  • There is a fla...

Thank you for your post and explaining the situation that you have encountered.
However, your description does not exactly point to a BOT being used.
What you are describing looks more like input broadcasting, meaning that players can pilot multiple characters (aka multiple ships) in the same time. While the BOTs that are around are very sophisticated, they are still not able to participate in PVP to the extend you are describing.

So in this case, there was an actual player involved who was doing input broadcasting. Is this a violation on EULA and TOS, yes for sure. But the best way to bring this to our attention is to submit a ...

This is absolutely something we’ve been looking at, especially in the past year. I can not provide the exact timeline for the rework and/or any change, but it’s one of the work-in-progress projects. We do want to make it much more useful for you guys, and for Team Sec as well.

Hey guys!

Good day,

We have released an update from Team Security on everything that has been going on in 2021!

Please use this thread to discuss the development blog and ask questions to the team.

Greetings, Capsuleers!

It’s been a while since our last update on the efforts of the Security team in their battle against Real Money Trading (RMT), botting, account hacking, and fraud – so without further ado, let’s jump right into this comprehensive overview and update on EVE’s security!

Who is Team Security? First, we’d like to cover who exactly is on the team, and what each member does. In the past year there have been both leavers and joiners, with the current team comprising:
  • CCP Grimmi and CCP Stinger, two full time security analysts whose existence is dedicated to hunting down bot farms and credit card fraudsters.
  • Senior GM Aisling and Senior GM Huginn, who focus on anti-RMT (ISK or Item selling/buying) and account security.
  • A team of programmers who work on bot detection software tools while also sharing their time across other Customer Support projects.
