Edited by: Illegal Alien on 23/12/2005 15:53:05 If it's one thing everyone agrees on, it's the fact that ISK Farmers (Also referred as macro miners) need to go. Some players made suicide alts and went after them in Kestrels, or Caracals, or just smartbombed them all to death in a BS.
But I took a different approach. Killing them so fast is not amusing, it is more amusing when the death is very slow, and painful. They get to sit there and watch as their ship is slowly beaten down, though a lot of the time they do log off.
So, to make death as slow as possible, my character only has 60,000 gunnery skill points. Other than that, it's just me and my trusty sidekick, my Brutix and 7 Heavy Ion Blasters.
The video also contains the clip where my signature is from.
Comments welcome.

Nice job indeed. As a person who actually goes out and makes his money the honest way I can appreciate this. I wish CCP would do something about these guys.

Yeah, was gonna say that a high res version would be MUCH better. I did enjoy the video, even with the low res quality in it. I'll certainly look to download a high res version of it
Macro miners actually joined a real corp that you could war dec? I thought they all lived in n00b corps...

Yes please tell us how you get aggro. As a decent non-macroing miner I'd love to have a go at them.

You need 2 accounts, or a friend. You need 2 corporations.
Corp A declares war on Corp B Player A is in Corp A, Player B is in Corp B
Once war is declared. Player B gang invites suspected farmers, once they accept the invite, Player A can attack them.
Theres a few problems with the system, but it's what we got.
Heres the problems:
1. Sometimes gang window will not update, they will show up in gang, but they left gang, causing you to get CONCORDED when you try to engage them. 2. You may podkill them, however, if they log off, or leave gang before the capsule explodes, you'll get CONCORDED. To be on the safe-side, dont podkill them. However, if they are an Iteron V pilot, they show up in gang, add them to your buddy list, if they show up as online, and you can warp to them, gank em at your own risk. The next ship they will be flying is an Iteron IV, as they rarely ever buy clones. This caused me to lose a lot of sec status and my Brutix, but seeing them in an Iteron IV the next day was well worth the loss.
3. A majority of them do not accept gang invites since they are in their own gang, however, it's possible to fool some of them if they speak english to inviting Player B into their gang, opening them for attack. Just lie your way into the gang, claim you can help them, claim they will mine more if your in their gang, whatever the hell it takes, get them to invite you. It's possible.

So If these guys are actually talking to you and letting you join gangs how exactly are they macro miners? As long as someone is driving behind the keyboard I dont care what they do. Thats the diff between Isk Farmer, some poor soul in China mining to make real cash on ebay and Macro Miners, any geek who can program some key presses and make millions while they sleep etc..
Kill the Macro Miners, leave the other guys alone that is just predatory behaviour on some guy who is actually pressing his own mouse clicks.

There hundreds or thousands of them mining, every day, for the purpose of selling credits in real life for real life money. They are ruining the market, and making players who mine for real worthless. They are not here to play the game to make ISK to upgrade to a battleship. ---

This is just a bunch of idiots preying on noobies, getting easy ganks, and trying to get rewarded as some kind of in-game hero.

Edited by: Illegal Alien on 31/12/2005 01:04:30 Theres a little difference.
I have, lets see.
150+ Concord emails. 8 of them were Apocs.
Hmm... not one complaint on the forum about "Illegal Alien" "exploiting" or being an evil hi-sec pirate.
Remember, when you gank a "newbie", and he doesnt complain, yell, call you exploiter, petition you for haxing... something is wrong. Oh, not to mention, none of them have sent me any nasty eve-mails. ---

"Some poor soul in China" who Ebays game items is still breaking the EULA. Even if he doesn't macro mine (Which btw most of them do, they drive their hauler manually and have their miner accounts scripted) CCP doesn't care what country you're from, its against the rules - end of story.

And how can YOU tell they are macro mining? What you are doing is stupid. Let CCP handle it. And if they cant handle it, then what can you do. What that was, was griefing.

Kill the farmers. Save the roids. Save EVE.
Enjoyed the movie.
I've had a couple friends quit out of disgust already because of macroers and isk farmers, so I say kill em all.

It's downright blatant who they are and what they are doing. I have only made ONE mistake, and I made things right with that person. I also do not call them macro miners, but ISK Farmers.
Why don't you go into the fields and start looking at players with names like "ck01", "ck02", "yck01", "yck02", and so on, do not tell me they are LEGIT players.
FYI, ck01 & ck02 were two of the three Apoc kills in that video. ---

Nice vid apart from the crappy quality, you should update the start post with the high quality link in it as well.
So you're saying all people that mine with mutliple accaunt should die? If theyre answering gang invites then they are surely not macro'ers.

Theres nothing wrong with running multiple accounts and mining to earn ISK, for ingame profit. Theres something wrong with running multiple accounts and mining to earn ISK, for real life profits.
Which is what these people are blatantly doing. They are always online, always mining. People who play for real, do not play like that. Real players also tend to have real names.

Because they use macros to assist them in farming for isk to sell for real $$$$. Few operations are 100% macro, buthaving a human their to oversee the operations does not suddenly make their farming any less illegal.
