Sreegs: Can you address the concern - nay, the undeniable fact - that reporting your foes in-game, whether or not they're actually engaging in any sort of RMT, is going to become a regular tactic nowadays, all the moreso that you're offering an incentive for doing so? Will there be punitive action taken against players who spam lots of reports, especially if investigation into those reports keeps coming up negative?
My concern here is that you're going to create a whole lot of unnecessary workload for yourself investigating all kinds of false reports, which could serve to reduce your effectiveness at dealing with actual RMTers. |

Read the blog here and let us know if you have feedback or questions for us. I have a question CCP Guard "Neither RMT nor bot-related activity have any place in New Eden any longer" odd choice of phrasing on the dev blog, implication being CCP condoned botting till recently....
You could read it that way, or you could read it for what it is - "Until sreegs came along we didn't really have a team in place to effectively deal with this." |

CCP Sreegs wrote:[2) If I was going to loan someone money I'd make sure I knew who they were etc. In the cases this has popped up the person in question was a well known RMTer. There's no magic formula for this. And what about less brazen RMTers? Should we just be taking someone's word that the isk they're loaning me (or vice versa) or the modules they're selling me or what have you aren't dirty?
Perhaps we're being overly hysterical here but this comment is treading awfully close to the "It's YOUR job to police OUR game" ground, and it has rather significant implications for a lot of ingame activity. |

I've been getting lots of it and forward each to [email protected] - usually it all goes to the trash anyways. I generally don't even click any links in an Eve-related email, even if it's from CCP. They're offering free time but I won't take their survey simply because I don't trust any emails from ccp or related anymore. Is there a way we can determine if an email link is authentic, and each email that's sent from CCP also be accessible via logging into our accounts without clicking through a link? It would be nice to see all CCP correspondence, even marketing & such, in our Account Settings pages. Just a thought - keep up the tremendous work Sreegs! I'll look into this. I hadn't thought of it actually and I think it's a good idea. Unfortunately we don't own The Internet so we can't stop people from sending mails. We're working on the problem but there's no really easy solution given the technology involved.
You may want to look into the company my wife works at if you're looking for a solution to this. Interested to know more? ;) |

We've looked into a lot of things but ultimately none of what we've seen in pretty much any case fits our unique environment and situation with this particular spam.
Will do :toot:

Tyke Orlieveit wrote:Stupid question: Simply signing the email content with a Publicly available PGP/GPG key is out of the window I guess? The recipient isn't affected by this, and the people with the capability or desire can confirm the signature?
I guess formatting issues might be a hurdle, I've not really experimented with anything but plain-text email being signed though. The problem with a solution like this is that your average internet goer doesn't even know to check the sig much less how. Any such solution to this kind of problem is passive in the ideal case - as far as the recipient is concerned, the email should always be trustable.
Now, that's a very high ideal standard, but you get the idea - I shouldn't have to do anything to be sure my mail is from who it claims it's from.

Unfortunately we don't own The Internet so we can't stop people from sending mails. We're working on the problem but there's no really easy solution given the technology involved. One doesn't need to own the internet for that. For example the CCP bulk mta often used for surveys and stuff is run under the cocos islands domain ccp.cc which - while it does indeed belong to CCP - is never ever used anywhere else that customers see, so it probably looks fishy to most users. Then again, if you read your mails with full headers, you are probably already sufficiently paranoid. The bulk mails use both SPF and DomainKeys (however it's been rebranded) so you can certainly verify the authenticity of those. Unfortunately not every mail we send is sent through this system.
Welp. I am now, perhaps, not quite so sure how helpful what I sent you will be. Worth a shot anyway. |

I'm amused by your resilience in dealing with these whiners...
Dont cheat= you'll be alright.
Afraid about loans/reimbursement/something else= stop doing till it will be safe again; maybe you could do it till now just because of bots,rmters :) Quite sure Goonswarm are going to be able to stop reimbursing ships for 5000 players with the snap of a finger.
Stereotypes
You would actually be surprised how little of our income, comparatively speaking, comes from ratting in general. |
