Just put npc's in belts after a random time, or let "concord" ask for their "mining" pass ;)

How about a tweak window where you have to finetune the mining laser to get the optimal yield? This could be a simple slider that has to be adjusted every x time to a certain value. Lack of finetuning would result in much lower yields.

just now , ive sat in yulai poping cans of 2 groups of known macro miners in yulai .
one mega seem to have thought i am an npc rat and opened fire on me with 1 assualt launcher . he got waste by concord in seconds . the pod was still sitting in the belt when i got tired of watching it , probably trying to activate his non existant miners 2.
my quest to bust all macro miners in 1.0 will continue. they can run , and i will locate them . ----- Meow |

Don't forget guys, macros that kill NPC's exist as well (even tho not needed cause no npc in 0.5+ does enough damage to kill an apoc).
Macro miners exist not only in 1.0 and 0.9.

Quote: Macro's are bad ,mmmkay?
Yes they are, but after having myself petitioned a few macro miners to CCP, they're answer was "There is no proof or pattern that indicates a macro. why do you think he is macro minning?"
With this type of response it is clear that CCP themselves do NOT care. In fact i wouldn't be surprised they actually want it to be so as it means more money for them (more accounts).
And there are macro miners in deep space as well!! Looks like they use a char to tank the spawn, the others mine and haul!!
That might explain why Megacyte costs as much as Zydrine now!! OVERFLOW of minerals!! |

CCP do care , ive been in contact with several gms last week in effort to stop this practice in the core systems. you have obviously not read GM arkanon blog about macro use . ----- Meow |

Well... anyone managing to macromine mega is a veritable macro-genius.
Anyway, macro-mining is very, very bad - it could ruin the game.
...but I'm struck by the numbers of people who put forward solutions that I believe would spoil the game for many, many legitimate players. In a way, you're still letting macroing ruin the game.
CCP do seem to have woken up and are hopefully actively pursuing these people. (I suspect they have in part woken up because come Exodus macro-miners will have a much greater chance of hoovering up hi-value ores...)

Edited by: Aegis Osiris on 12/11/2004 17:17:53 This doesn't have to be this complicated.
One way to do it would be to make an option for a 'personal war', or registered vendetta. Perhaps even a 'registered grievance killing', whereby you have a limited time (say a 30 or 60 minute timer) whereby you can fire on your registered target. Make it agent based, but low level 1 agents, or concord agents. both parties get an evemail upon registration, and off you go. Even if the macro was smart enough to warp out when the vendetta was registered, it still stops the problem.
Thus, you see macro miners, you register your vendetta, and go blow up their stuff. Limit it to only 2 active at a time, and just 1 killing per registered vendetta; to kill more then once, would require another registration, which would help limit griefing.
Granted its not perfect, but how satisfying would it be?
