Its true: The drone regions are pretty much macro heaven. The space is extremely spread out, so invading gangs have to spend a long time just getting to certain systems- ontop of that, invaders know the macros can easily safe up the moment a red/neut pops up in local. So they don't even bother going on roams into the drone regions. So it is even easier to macro.
To kill macro ratters:
1) Bring a mobile bubble
2) Deploy a bubble at a random belt at 0 (Try not to put it at the 1st/last belt, otherwise possible defenders looking for you will easily spot it).
*At this point, as you are visible in local, you should have noticed that all the macros have warped to POSs*
3) Log off
*It is VERY useful to have an alt spai in the macroer's alliance, so you can watch cloaked near the bubble, waiting for the macros to reactivate*
4) After 10-15 minutes, log back on, warp to your bubble (Or a bookmark near it so you don't get caught in the bubble yourself. Hopefully, a macro wil have warped to your bubbled belt, and got stuck in the bubble, unable to warp off when you logged on.
*Or, if you are using your spai, just wait until you see a macro warp into your bubble, then log back on*
5) Kill the macro:
a) Lock the target.
b) Shoot the target (F1, F2, F3, etc)
c) ???
d) Profit!
6) Loot, and warp back to your safe spot. (If you are sure you haven't attracted any attention from actual hostiles who aren't macroing, just rinse and repeat- the macros don't have any learning subroutines, so they will keep getting caught in your bubble.)
It would probably be true that NC & others would have more macros, but infact, nearly every other alliance, in NC or in the south, have an anti-macro policy- aka, if any of their members are found macroing, they are killed & kicked.
Although you can find neutal macro ratters in all of the NPC 0.0 regions, such as Venal.
