Now please save me from the seeding and watering bs :)
I read everywhere about farming plexes, faction spawns, npc haulers, what not. But I can't find any guides about them. It might be because this kind of activity is not seen in good light. But it seems to be a great income of isk so... Also if somebody would share how for example plex farming is done, I would make more isk but those who hate farmers(in EVE :D) will get better ideas how to counter that activity.

Wrong. Selling ISK for RL money get you banned.
Farming is a normal gaming activity. You can farm missions, rats in 0.0 (search under chaining spawns), ice or minerals and even datacores. It all depends on how much time you want to dedicate to the activity and how much time you want tot dedicate to learning the needed skills.

Farming a belt for rats is not an exploit lol. Farming as in having 100 chinese dudes mining for you to sell the ore is bad...

Farming is entirely legal, if perhaps frowned upon. Using macros to farm is a different matter altogether, though…

farming is doing something just for the isk gain and not the fun
usually it is in reference to isk sellers who make a living from having huge operations of others working for them who get payed very little Trashed sig, Shark was here |

Sounds like the way your average alliance treats the majority of its members tbh. They simply spam supercaps with all the take instead of trying to sell the isk.

Easiest way to defeat macro farming: Make it so that macro's can't work; By injecting something into the missions/belts etc. that requires human creativity and thinking.
It's a tall order, because even in reality mining ends up being done by robots more and more. There isn't much you can introduce to "dig up rocks" that doesn't end in constant repetition. [and thus, abuse by macro farmers.]

Basically, there is a trigger to end missions. This is usually destroying a certain ship (sometimes all ships) or being at a certain point in the mission area. Instead of blowing up everything and/or collecting the loot to end the mission, you don't end the mission and wait for DT (downtime) when the EVE servers reboot. After DT you will find the entire mission has started over with all ships and structures intact. So, if it is, say, a level 4 mission where you get 10M isk bounty for destroying ships, you can do this for several days, right up until the mission time limit expires with your agent. This is known as "farming" a mission. Of course, in this situation you lose any mission bonus, which is sometimes not even worth it.
The same situation can be applied to complexes you have scanned out too.
"Farming" a NPC spawn is a little different. Only high value spawns are worth it. "Chaining" is when you have, for example, a spawn of ships with 2 BS and 3 frigs/cruisers where the value of the BS is 500k - 1.5M isk each. You kill them all except 1 of the smaller frigate/cruiser ships. You wait a while (you can either warp out of the area to a safespot or tank the remaining ship) and sure enough the previous ships you destroyed will return. This is known as "farming", or more commonly, "chaining" a spawn. Occasionally the spawn does warp out on you and this can be annoying when you have an especially bountiful spawn on your hands.
Farming is usually seen as a greedy endeavour carried out by those who have too much time to waste and not enough isk in their wallet. It's not an exploit but most people (including myself) see it as a lame way to make isk. -)(-

not all farmers are chinese and ofc not all players form china are farmers.
And no farming for own use is not a EULA/TOS violation. tho farming for RMT (Real Money Trade) is a EULA/TOS violation

Anybody who wants to fight for a just cause, be the great hero, save the princess or whatever... WOW is that way -->
If I can kill you, I will. Then you will farm to get another ship (or whine to your corpmates). If you kill me, I shall farm till I get money for new ship. That's all. Nothing mystical about it. Is just a game. |

This definition from wikipedia sums it up nicely.
Farming: A player of any type of game who repeats mundane actions over and over in order to collect in-game items.
If you farm to get an expensive ship, well that is what everyone does. But if you farm to sell isk for real life currency then that is wrong. --

This is why I can't find any plexes. (I go through around 10-15 0.0 day by day and find nothing or just a few anomalies) I People farming plexes keep them stationary and since there are limited plexes unlike missions it unfair towards others. Thus, farming deadspace complexes should be considered an exploit.

Other than the issue with the COSMOS exploration sites, please tell me how I can keep a 10/10 'stationary'.
I really need the isk.

Its obvious i wont give pointer where i am scanning (with alt anyways) but good start is to look away from station systems, hubs etc - so in places where people dont move around often.
Examples are backyard areas of big alliances space like drone regions (but those are crap), some delve(tho lately its getting crowded), tenal, deklein (away from stations) - they arent used much. So as long as you keep low profile and stay away from main routes/stations you should be relatively safe + you should find quite a few unknowns.

I farmed once. basically you get some seeds, put them in the ground, and water it often. after a few weeks, you can eat it or bake it into brownies or something ________________________________
