They need to make the proposed comet mining extremely profitable, impossible to macro, and only available in low sec. I'm not sure if they are going to include t1 mins in it though.
Yeah, cause comets would occure in high sec. I like the first two, but the third strikes me as just another stupid attempt to get easily ganked targets into low sec.
Now if you made the ships that mine commets harder to kill...

How does just allowing macros not reduce t1 highsec mins to zero very quickly? It would be easier just to remove tritanium from the game........oh, no -----Chribba is gonna kick my butt
If they are reduced to zero then there would be no macros save perhaps by players who are trying to completely vertically integrate their industrial production. The price would be low, but not zero.
Remove Tritanium from the game and you'll have pyerite become the new tritanium with the same problem.
Its hard to say what impact Tyrannis will have on high sec ores, and ore in general. With the buff to the low end mins in null sec ores, there will be less demand for hi-sec low end mins in null sec. That will reduce the price of hi-sec mins. On the other hand changing mission loot drops and drone compounds will have an upward effect on prices. Insurance...mmm hard to say in general since insurance didn't fix specific mineral prices, but the value of the basket of minerals. Some might go up, some might go down due to this change. Overall, its hard to even come up with a qualitative impact let alone a quantitative impact--i.e. we'll have to wait and see. My belief right now, is mineral prices on average will drop.

Are macro miners a problem in the game? Not at all. They're only human response to a situation that EVE created. Until the real problem is fixed, the symptoms will continue.
^this
Agreed. People create macros because mining is boring as hell not because there is tons of isk in it. Maybe if they have a large number of accounts, and they run pretty much non-stop. Still I'm sure there are better ways to earn isk. Most of the macro miners I've seen appear to be solitary miners. I suppose they might have more than one miner logged into more than one system, but now we are starting to talk about a pretty significant investment in terms of hardware and training times, etc.
