I'm just miffed that the salty bitch on reddit targeted the director who's running for CSM to try to tank his chances

This game's revenue stream is like 90% bots though so chances are CCP won't give a poo poo about any of this anyways

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
why do faxes have a build cost of 6b? I'm already selling carriers and dreads at a loss but I will never sell the faxes I've built

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Elusif came up with an intel tool. Said it was using ESI/API/Log stuff similar to tools that track wormholes. It was not and he left the repo to it public and someone went snooping and decided to use it to poo poo on D’Ceet’s CSM run. Elusif’s legend continues.

But they are using scripts, the post has evidence of that. Why is this ok? Why would you guys ruin such a good run? So much complaining about bots has happened in this thread.

To be completely clear several of us spent dozens to hundreds of hours helping him with SDE/ESI and Log parsing code which would have allowed everything he was doing anyway. It was apparently not good enough but the effort was enough to cause us not to question him further.

See the first mistake is to trust Elusif to not write a bot to do naughty things because that's what he does. The second mistake is to trust Elusif.

But seriously nobody double checked the codebase to see what the hell Elusif was actually merging and whether all that hard work you were doing was actually implemented? The repo was public lol :cmon:

I have a bunch of node.js code that parses SDE and market data over ESI to determine how to best manufacture (e.g. how many layers deep to build) and undercut prices on high volume items on the market in various regions for the most isk. That's totally legit BUT it's under a severe lock and key because nobody else will put in that effort and eve isk per hour is awful. It doesn't use data outside of SDE/ESI or interact with the eve client it just generates a report of which orders I need to modify and what looks good to put into build weighted over the past several days. Innocent AF, but I keep that code hidden, and lmao, yes this was in a public repro.

People use automated tools to determine where other players live and when they go to work/sleep.

Botting treads the line and perhaps crosses it, but there isn't a single eve player who doesn't seriously benefit from automated data collection, so the response feels a bit forced at times, but I've come to learn that's just EvE Online.

my experience with elusif is seeing him group up a division of ships in world of warships and somehow do better input broadcasting to several boats at once than a person playing one boat with all of their brainpower

nice guy, just likes to treat game EULAs like they're toilet paper
