Anti-Botting Agreement

This is how these systems tend to look.
It's been like this since 2017.
2017 you say? Yes, the same people that did this ----> Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/855o8r/scripting_and_automation_an_investigation_into/
We know exactly which player group is, we know exactly why they do it, and we know how.
Some bad faith actors would have everyone believe they just win because they know the BGS better, but this is clearly not some secret knowledge, this is brute force.
I agree that it's easy, as a small group of a handful of people, to disrupt the operations of a big player group. Even if you are heavily outnumbered you can cause a lot of harm, especially if you have the knowledge and they don't. 5 vs 300 is not a big deal.
But when you brute force your way through against the largest, most knowledgeable player groups in the game, simultaneously, every single time since 2017, with a massive display of numbers while also belonging to a small, fringe and largely irrelevant player group that does not have even a fraction of that number in their discord server... well, it's SUS my friend.
It's even more suspicious considering that in the event of 2017-2019, it appears as if the original accounts were banned, and these people claimed responsibility for the organized 5C, although obviously denying the use of bots.

This nonsense is back again? This topic was discussed before. We are the force who are opposing these "Communists" what this Komradesylas represents. And they call us fascist. Showing system traffic is no proof. I could name at least 20 individual commanders who are now fighting against them.
They have consumed numerous player made factions who did challenge them and they were never opposed until now.
Your whining and your witch hunting will yield no result. The Alliance of the Player Made Factions under the supervision of The Dark Armada will defeat you and you will give back all you have consumed to the people of the free galaxy.
This has been an ongoing conflict since the beginning of Elite Dangerous. They have never accused us of cheating for years until recently we built alliances and right now we are defeating them. They just can't admit being defeated. Was it too easy to consume minor player factions. Now face the combined force of the Resistance of the free people of galaxy against Communism !

For more information regarding Communists vs The Dark Armada refer here:
[EMPIRE] - The Dark Armada
The Battle of Manite! The Dark Armada is pleased to announce that we have triggered a war for control of the Manite system as part of our eternal war against the forces of communism. In the absence of an Imperial faction, the Federation will temporarily take control of the system. We are...forums.frontier.co.uk

If you want to join the fight against Communists find Mysteron of the Dark Armada.
The light of the freedom can dim but never be extinguished !
Good thing the "communists" are but one of more than a dozen groups being victims of the same thing and the same people.
I'm fairly certain that this thread was revived by the complaints of an unrelated German group going through the same thing, pointing out how another unrelated Russian group that supports a corporate faction is going through the same thing.
Though it wouldn't surprise me that certain people would go mask off with bigotry by pretending russian = communist

Speaking English should be antique too thenGerman, Russian...what the heck!!!1eleven...We're living in the 34th century, "Boomers". Get out of your antique boxes!
See, I remember a group I was helping out got accused of botting when there was like... half a dozen pythons on the traffic report in three systems.
Those traffic figures are something else entirely.
yes it was my python jumping into the system a bunch of times, I'll admit to that much

Ok, I'll cancel my popcorn order, then
You never heard of Universal Translators or Babelfishes? It's only in your head!Speaking English should be antique too then

We have been making gains against one of these so called big BGS expert groups. We have noticed that they have been blaming bots for virtually every defeat they suffer these days. We call this, ( I´m so great only bots can beat me ) syndrome. Unfortunately for them the truth is many times more horrifying, all it took to beat this group in multiple systems was two commanders using normal BGS grind. In fact our enemies should be flattered as we are using techniques we learned directly from them, they work very well.
This unending ill-conceived campaign is massively over inflating the actual problem and casting Elite Dangerous as a bot infested nightmare and ruining its reputation in the process. In addition it has riled up a lot of abuse aimed at various groups who have been accused. Frontier is aware of the situation and it is up to them to deal with it. As for this wrong-footed campaign, my advice is end it now, it´s already gone on long enough and with quite ugly side affects.

I don't think FDev needs any help from players to ruin the game's reputation, I'll tell you that much. -55% players on steam in the past 2 months, kekw.
Also, wasn't one of those players associated with you the one that admitted in a public forum that he 5C'd the Alliance?
It's good to know that you guys support 5C. It just keeps adding to your reputation!
Are 5C actions against the game rules?

5C is absolutely permitted within the current game design and not censured by anything in CoC or EULA/TOS. Anything against 5C happens on the community level, by community self-imposed rules on the subject.
Without improved instancing, forced open play for BGS and power play activities, and restructuring of how blocklists function to be chat only there will be no way to accurately monitor and respond to 5C activity and those behind it. This would also be steps that would be a significant step forward in combatting the potential of botting within Elite, by forcing bots into open where there's a better chance of being confronted. Which is a demand that the ABA has always avoided attaching itself to. Funny that.
I´m afraid that you are not making much sense commander, please be more specific. I haven´t played power play for years.
Maybe they haven't attached themselves because that's a terrible idea which should never be implemented, and fundamentally misses the point of the BGS?
Lots of downsides for sure, but it would solve the issue (such as it is) of paranoia over bad actors hiding in solo/group. I don't think an open only BGS misses the point of the BGS, it's just not how it was implemented.
