Haha,
Stinger vs Wasp: A battle for the ages… ok maybe not, but still an interesting fight. Who will win???

My pleasure to meet you too

Comment

Uff, after 10 years in CCP and multiple Fanfests and other different EVE Online events, you are the first one who picked that one up.

Yes indeed, but I never got too deep into it, I did read some novels regarding Mech Warrior but the name was forged back when internet presence was been established (can’t remember the year) but this was one of my first SciFi online games that I played in a Clan and I had to choose a Nickname and for some reason Stinger got stuck. Still remember the landings on the planets to capture them and to throw out the clan who was defending.

Good job, I actually completely gave up hope that somebody would pick it up :slight_smile:

This is a new trend that we are now pursuing, more transparency in the actions of Team Security.

Don’t need to be sorry, no one is standing behind us and forces us to be here on the forums.

Worst case, we still have the ban hammer that we can use to deal with you guys :grin:

Comment

Its our pleasure. We are here to protect EVE and the players in it :slight_smile:

Comment

Haha, good try with the Indonesia trolling. But it would be a shame to ban so many accounts, if you know what I mean :wink:

Comment

It is not something that Team Security planned, but other teams might have discussed it, I am not sure about that.

Comment

Yes. There are some types of game play that allow the drone ships to farm AFK. Those are the Vexors, Ishtars and Gilas. They are very much liked for a nearly AFK farming.

But again, there is nothing wrong with that, apart of the fact that this is also very much favorite setup to run bots on them. We investigate each and every case and only after that we swing the ban hammer.

Yes, sometimes it causes false positive bans, but when a ticket is submitted we re-investigate the situation and yes we do lift bans and do apologize for the false positive ban. Somehow this fact does not get the attention of the player community, that we do lift bans for false positive bans and do compensate the time that the accounts were suspended.

Regarding the Jita loot bots, this situation was investigated multiple times this year by multiple eyes and it did not yield any results. The allegations that were mentioned in the said videos did not hold ground when we investigated them.

As mentioned on Fanfest and in previous Team Security Dev Blog, we are working hard to take all the bots down. It is possible that we have missed some or it is possible that what players think is a bot, is actually not. We have changed our approach regarding account suspensions for botting, now we really make sure that the player is guilty and only after that we swing our ban hammer.

There are multiple tools and logs to our disposal, yes they are not perfect but we are working constantly on it to improve them, but they for sure offer more information to us rather what players see in EVE Online.

Please submit more reports via Support Ticket about any suspicious behavior and we will investigate it and take action where it is necessary.

Hey Theiene, thanks a lot for trying out Photon and pointing these issues out to us. I did actually read this thread back when it was created and it prompted me to immediately fix the bookmark color issues back then. However, the issue where bookmarks don’t appear in the separate location group windows fell between the cracks and didn’t show up again on my issue tracker until very recently. I hope you’ll be happy to hear that this issue will finally be fixed in the upcoming December release. o7

It was a problem with special characters in overview settings. :slight_smile:

Singularity has been updated now and these problems (especially the black screen and buying things from the market) should be fixed now. If you find further problems, then please let us know (best would be if you write also a bug report).

Comment

Those are extremely specific scenarios. To be honest, I have not seen any of those while being in Team Sec, but it also does not mean that it has never happened. It’s just wasn’t part of my experience and part of what I do, that’s all.
We try to look at problems en messe, simply because it’s more efficient. It does not mean that we don’t discuss edge cases, but they are edge cases for a reason.
