So how would you "really" know they're bots and not just some random guy multiboxing 4 to 9 accounts using isBoxer?
Don't like spaceships sandbox? then this is not the game for you.

My associates informed it might be the presence of probes what triggers the dock-up.

Can missions be multiboxed? I thought that was reserved for mining ops. Anyways, the sequential naming of the toons do raise some red flags. If my prober is correct and probes are the trigger, that would explain why others had trouble scanning them down. It seems a job for a few unknown toons, some clever positioning, directional scan and some triangulation....and some very fast ninja probing (probes out / scan / bookmark / probes back in).
On the pro side... system has only one station and is about 16au wide.

They could be bots, in which case I would think CCP would deal with them.
That said, a lot of what people think are bots are actually multiboxers. With the help of multiboxing software such as ISBoxer you can control a LOT of accounts at once without breaking a sweat.
As far as I am aware, multiboxing and multiboxing software is completely legal in terms of game rules.
Anyway just my two cents. |

CCP will do bans in waves and reverse all assets created by botting, so in the long run it doesn't matter (unless you take into account legitamate wealth created by botted wealth). In the short run, yes it sucks |

It's well known that reports are acted upon instantly by CCP, they just start throwing magic space salt about where the reported bots are and they shrivel up.
Just like parrots.

I came across what I thought to be a whole gang of bots. To test this theory I bumped them all into a ball of hulks in the belt warp in. Unfortunatly I did not have any gankboats to hand. Our corp may have to come back to lonetrek and the forge to purge it once more. |

Ah mission bots (if actually bots).
Easy way to determine. Follow them through missions for a while. Steal their mission item when one is available.
The bots won't know what to do for a while, and will either sit in space, or instantly warp to the station (seeing a red in overview does this sometimes).
AFAIK there isn't a bot written to click the quit mission button, so the bot will cease to function until their keeper comes back (well, they may warp back and forth, but not making any money).
And if one of them shoots you...  |

What makes you think they are? Well, there is one good way to tell if a person is botting, their toon is on 23/7 or pretty damn close to it. But... you can only notice if *you* are 23/7 also... which will make you a bot also. Sorry darling, not true, but you can sign on at a given time and then come back hours later and see the same people, then sign off and come back for when the servers shut down and guess what the same people still there. They run their barges and exhumers like clock work.
True, but a lot of bots also don't exhibit this behaviour, so it's not always a brilliant indicator. I also know a few obsessive gamers that work from home and play for 14+ hours a day at times, I expect mining lends itself quite well to this play style.

Exumers you could bump and see if there's no reaction.
Funny! Sometimes one of my Hulks`s thrusters kick in at 100% without me noticing it and for no reason (I am sure I haven't double ckick in space). I then need to stop my ship or bring it around. I wonder if it is not someone at CCP checking to see if I am not a bot. |
