Have you considered a chart like the one NetEase uses for EvE Echos?

i know my own garbage pie chart when i see it...
anyways, don't read too much into this, it's not going to be shared again either.. at least not by me ;)
please no witch hunts, racism or other funny business - and particularly important: no cheating at video games!
wtf how did you get this recording of me you creep
What would you consider your biggest achievement in EVE as a player
probably spending like 2-3b on a new abyssal sacrilege, decking it out, jumping into a t4 and then realizing i got the wrong missile types and dying because i couldn't kill anything.
the most satisfying thing i've done is finding like 1b+ in loot in a easy guristas high-sec site (like 3 or 4/10 if i recall correctly) - like to run these in a jackdaw but it's been a while since i did this.
Can you put the aeon back to it proper size of 9km and upsize the rest of them?
px cant ship ship changes. (that was fun to type out)
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.
peligro here, salty old dog - been banning bots since i got my first ethernet cable at the age of 4 years old!

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.
Also bots can't delete the character and create new ones - their accounts are permanently banned. Most of CCP's actions against bots result in BANS - almost all of which are permanent.
Usually they will make new accounts, using virtualization or something else.
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

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...
i'm on the other side of the spectrum: serial unfinisher, never plat'd anything, don't finish most my games
And why nearly 50 % of the Goon Bots killed in Yulai seemingly knew their fate and managed to drop corp right before ?
to
if they dropped corp before they were teleported it's because a GM kicked them out. this isn't done when they are banned as bots really.
The greatest concerns I hear about are, can my graphic card "insert name" run this game on high settings?
hello yes will my voodoo II handle EVE on supa dupa?

Thanks for your reply. I'm a Security Analyst working on EVE and I deal mostly with bots and RMT.
I can't really give away too much here but CCP is tooling up heavily in this department right now; we are also actively investigating client side detection but it's still too early for Real News on that.
What's the best story you experienced as a GM?
my best GM story is when i was hired as a GM in 2006 and now its 2020 and i still work at CCP
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.
are you seeing bots abusing fw missions in particular or is it players? please report bots in-game with the good button: https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000249125-Reporting-suspected-bot-users
another one, though probably not directly for GMs: supercarrier size rework when? the larger aeon model was amazing
hmm probably nobody from the PX department can answer this :(
- 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.
- At least 20!
our hamsters all live in the cloud now
Why were so few botters dropped into Yulai?
had a hard time finding more as they had all been nuked from orbit :(
1) How do you keep motivated when we are such a bunch of whinging narcissists 2) pineapple on pizza, yes or no 3) what’s your biggest challenge and how can we help
why arent botting bans and punishments extended to the entity they're a part of? especially when its a serial problem for them?
They are to the extent that we're able to do it accurately and within reason... Which is not good enough right now, I 100% recognize that.
stay safe everybody, and we will meet again <3
