This seems to become very common lately.
I've seen at least 20 different ava's doing that. (Here's another pic)
LA's with big spawns and no storage are the most popular, since they use an easy 'Run Forest run" bot, when revive they not stuck in a trade center or revival.
I send support cases in the past becuase.
-They mess-up my hunting when I'm busy with a Falx and due that bot runner I get aggro by a second one.
-It's plain cheating, Hunting to gain some evade cost a lot and goes very slow.
These avatars just make some evade and other skills with the sole purpose of chipping it out and selling it. They most of the time secondary ava's.
But it doesn't seems that MA cares much about it. When I send a support case about it and tild them I had screenies, that I could send. Didn't even ask for the screenies just got the same old reply "We will look into it".
MA asks 2pec decay because of the "server load", but don't care about a lot of ava's just botting and give a load to the servers as well.
But why should they care? It brings in extra money!
See why:
-Ava skilsl enough evade for a 10 ped TT ESI >> Doesn't cost MA nothing, just a little server load.
-Ava Buy's ESI (Lets say he need to depo for it) >> Whee! Money for MA. Doesn't cost MA nothing to giva an ESI, since no-one TT's a ESI, they just dissapears when inserted.
-Ava chips out the skills. >> Whee! money for MA from the decay of the inserter.
-Ava sells the chip on auction >> Whee! Auction fee for MA.
-Buyer deposit to buy the ESI >> Whee! Money for MA
-Buyer insert the ESI >> Whee! money from inserter decay for MA
SO it didn't cost MA nothing, skills are just a value in a database and it brings in some cash. So why should they be in a hurry. For the honest players?
MA knows a while now thay the players will bend with everything they decide.
So you see, Why should they care
