Well i can fly a mac ,thought there was some isk to be earn in empire ice mining. So i looked for a solar system in domain.It had one station in it ,,cool i can refining there .No 1 in the belts first day ,i did dig 4 hours then i go to bed then to RL work.Next day 20 macs in the belt all from npc corp. 24 hours ltr they still are there 3 days ltr they still are there 7 days ltr they still are there.
I did petition them from day one,GM respond was ,,we look into it.When you are ice mining between those hackers ,you are feeling that what you are doeing wont bring nada isk. So i thought why not make it so that you only can refining at a pos those guys needs tobe then in a own made corp ,and you can war dec them.
Ones i was banned for a week i said something in local the guy pettion me ,after 30 min i couldn`t type in local ,chat banned. I find macro miners more disturbing ,for all eve players .Then that i say in local your a ****,**** mom.
1)Make it so that you only can refining at a pos ,and put ice belts in a solarsystem where there are no stations.
2)And when we petition ice macro dudes ,just banned them after 30 min and then ,,look into it.Since you can do that als with REAL MAN in eve.We didn`t train for nothing a mac.And the price will go up thats what we want.And don`t say ,,are you realy sure that those are macro miners? ,everyone can see that in 5 min.Or maybe a GM goes to that system and realy ,,look yes look into it.

I enjoy the low price on isotopes the empire ice miners provide.

I used to dislike macro miners in the ice fields... well, okay, I still do. But now, instead of mining ice myself I make a living taking it from their cans. Plus it's added alittle bit of excitement to the game when I have to outplay them for their own stuff. Heck, occasionally they'll get mad enough to take some of it back, which gives me kill rights. Have you ever attempted to destroy a hauler with another hauler?? It takes, like, 8 minutes of low level laser shooting to finally do it... it's the best 8 minutes you can play (if you dislike macro miners). |

GMs allways paste same answer, but never really do anything.
I myself see same macro characters undocking from same station and heading to same ice belt like every single day.
Don't waste your time for petitioning something that ccp doesnt really want to fix.

Edited by: Hyperdallas on 18/08/2008 04:49:41 what i think is, even tho they are making more than they pay monthy, as i see it ccp wont ban them as they provide income for them as 34.99 every 2 months and there are thouansds of theses guys so they ban them they loose 34.99*1000. Yarr |

Let those miners work for you, heck I even had days that I locked down macro miners with income of ice. Hanging there with a fast combat ship, zoof around, swap their ice in your own can. Haul it away later. If they take it back, pop them. Nothing more fun. If they just stop jetcan mining and haul after each cycle, bump em of the belt. Success garanteed after a week spending this much time to block their ice income they move on

they never *Appear* to do anything. you realise they probably have a more advanced macro detection system than warping to someone, seeing if they mine alot and checking which corp they're in.
there's only one way a game can be free of these characters, and that's remove their reason for existing - isk sellers.
how do you remove isk sellers? most games have an impossible task of ridding their games of this blight. you know why?
simple: there's always s****who BUY the isk. CCP can't stop ISK sellers. only the COMMUNITY can do that. if you don't buy ISK, then you're doing your part, now, go find the guy who is buying isk, and whine at him for ruining your game. ========================================== that's no moon... oh, wait, yes it is, the space station's out the other window. |

You should move this to features and ideas, I could support this, only refining ice at a pos, means they will have to join player corps to run pos's, ofcourse that also means that they could just contract the ice to a single guy in the player corp to refine, but at least you could wardec and kill the pos. |

So we can expect you back to forum crying when you have been banned temporarily while the GMs 'look into it'?

The only way macros can be stopped is for people to stop buying it in rl.
Or for ccp to wreck the game for people who dont macro .. even then they will still do it. |

nonsense, CCP implemented its own 'buy isk' feature and only labeled buying from people who dont redirect that money back to CCP illegal.... |

Not all macro miners belong to an isk selling corporation. Some are just people who want to make money while they're afk.. It's a small percentage but they are still there. |

Also the Miners have changed there way of working. Instead of mining and hauling in a pulk they warp into different locations into the belt and mining only into cargo, then dock, drop and warp into the belt again. But might also be some chinese miner :S |
