Thousands of years ago on Earth we allowed large corporation to **** the planet. During Earths 1920's and 30's we allowed corporations to do anything they wanted to make a buck. By allowing macro mining we are doing the same thing to EVE. These large corporations use macro mining to finance thier operations and we do nothing about it. Many of these corporation sell ISK to on line buyers. PLEX prices are sky high because these corporations buy hundreds if not thousands of PLEX to keep thier macro accounts open. What can we do to stop the **** of EVE? We need to put pressure on CCP and the Council of Stellar Management to make them change the mining process to put the macros miners out of business. You can help me do this buy writing forum threads and finding old threads about macro use and bring them to front of the forum boards. You may have noticed many more anti-macro threads on the forum than usual. I have been doing that to try and put pressure on CCP and the Council of Stellar Management. But I am only one player and I need your help. For years CCP and the Council of Stellar Management have done nothing about macro users. Please help me stop the **** of EVE.

Edited by: Saelie on 11/12/2010 13:47:02 The reason you're seeing a lot of threads about macros is because EVENews did an article about them last week.
As for what CCP can do about macros and bots? The honest answer is not a whole heck of a lot. The reason for this is simple - A well-written bot has smarter procedures and better reactions than some actual human players I know. This means that any rigorous anti-botting measure is going to catch a lot of these human players as well, and that's bad for business and public relations. Until you can program a way to tell the difference, reliably, between the program that's been there for six hours mining ice and the bored industrialist that's been there for six hours mining ice then there's not much that can be done. Most of the methods I've seen proposed for doing such would not only not work but would be so intrusive as to anger most of the real players that would have to put up with them.
While I would like CCP to look into the problem of botting and macros, I also accept that there's likely not a whole lot they can do about it.

I am a retired programmer and thier is a way to stop macro ice mining. At the end of a mining cycle a prompt window appears in a Random location of the screen. If it is not answered by the next cycle the player loses thier ore. The key to this is a random location on the screen. Finding this random location would require a very sophisticated macro and would eliminate a lot of macros.

ROFL!
if you really are stupid enough to believe that this would fix it, you are retired for a reason. if you claim things you want to read the eve news article completely atleast. the part about the thin client or python code injection. then you would suddenly notice that it would only stop the really stupid bots. and in the end you would make mining even more annoying for people and give them more incentive to use macros for it.

CCP must start somewhere to stop macro users. Stopping ice mining is a start and is very easy to do.

But if we stop ice mining where will people get their POS fuels from? --Vel

Id rather stop the ISK sellers.
Originally by: CCP Oveur The client handles no logic, it is simply a dumb terminal.
