I have not bothered to count, I am not even sure I can count high enough as I only have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. They do seem to be returning in mass though, shame I was so encouraged by the war on bots talk and the noticeable results shortly after. I could list quite a few here though if proof is needed providing that is not against CCP forum rules. |

To convince us, tell us the system, time they tend to be on and what activity they are doing. Any interested player can then go see for themselves.
Already done, I mentioned them to someone else in local and they also confirmed that they had also reported them serveral times over. It seems to be falling on deaf ears, unless it just takes a very long time to investigate them? |

What makes you think they are?
Well of course I admit I could be wrong. If I am wrong though so are others because as I have already said I know others have also reported them.
What make me think they are all bots:
- They all belong to the same corp
- The corp has it's tax rate set to 100%
- They all have random names
- All the characters seem to have been created the same day in March 2012 (Is that just after the purge earlier this year?)
- Most seem to be on 24/7 although I can't say for sure all of them are so I could be wrong about this.
Although like I say I could be wrong, but this is what makes me and others who have reported them think they are bots. Just to clarify I am talking about what I beleive are mission bots. |

Exumers you could bump and see if there's no reaction. Still could be AFK miner, not bot. But you mentioned mission bot. That's something else.... I have seen angry ninjas accuse mission runners of being bots because the mission runners didn't fall for the trick and didn't shoot back. Ignoring the ninja is not the same as being a bot. Can you tell me more info on the ones you spotted (no names of course, forum-friendly info)
Don't have much more info to tell on top of what I have already provided, other than they all seem to fly CNR's which is annoying as they require more players to gank over Tengu's (I think, I am no ganking expert).
When a few of us decided to try and scan them down in missions and trigger all the spawns and then bump their CNR's to death before it could warp we noticed this was not easy as they all seemed to be blitzing the easier level 4 missions. This meant by the time a fleet member had scanned them out (someone who is good at scanning) the CNR's were usually all ready leaving the pocket. The odd time we did catch one because of the mission and lack of rats in the missions they choose to run the plan would not of worked anyway. |

Solar system name?
Well I mission there as well and as it happens in a CNR, I would not want to be mistaken for a bot.  As you ask though try looking anywhere in Blackrise esp Uuhulanen. |

But you are on the right track tho... You just have to: 1. Scan faster (tip... ship id will be the same) 2. Steal the mission item.
Will try harder always room for improvement. I can assure you my mate is quick to scan them out and we know the ID will always be the same . The mission item sounds interesting how does that work? I am not sure that the missions they are choosing to run have an item to steal I will investigate that further though.
