AFK farming is the same as Botting. only diffrence is your useing the drones instead of a bot program.
You set up, leave and let the drones do the work.
It should be against the rules.
Make it so you have to order the drones every 3 or 4 kills to attack, assist, etc, or the drones will sit there doing nothing.

Not the same, you still have to use the keyboard to return your drones to the drone bay. That makes it a world apart from botting.
Nice try though, I'll give you 3/10

Suicide gank them. If the drones are set to aggressive they won't get kill rights, and you won't take that much of a sec hit. --- Не поговорите русского. F1, F2, F3... |

*smacks forehead*
so, you say, using a built in game mechanic to kill rats is; the same as downloading a macro program, installing it, programming it, setting up your eve client to work with it, setting up a complex series of rules and scenarios then walking away for 20 hours to run on its own.
no, botting is setting up a BOT to run the game for you!
EPIC TROLL (that or you're just a moron)
By that thinking, Moon mining is botting....PI is botting...manufacturing is botting....skill research is botting...

show us on the doll where the sentry domi/rattlesnake touched you....
Consider it mission mining and move on. Same thing as going cargo space spec'd hulk and let that pig run for while in an ice belt. AFK or not afk don't matter still a good 18 minutes of isk making you aren't doing much. Sentry boat the same thing.
Also you must not run sentry boats....even afk you are there for rooms with waves in case aggro hits the drones and to fly to acc. gates. If motivated, you are using your high slots to kill faster.
Also Afk works, but its at a big isk per hour hit. Fly your t3/maruders/faction bs and run the mission in half the time and enjoy better money. Trust me, them sentries get a hard on for killing frigates and its painful on the elite ones and they ain't farming very well if you aren't there to swap out to hobglobins.
****es you off that much and as mentioned, bait the drone aggro. Smarbombs and overzealous drones left on their own been the death of many afk mission runners.

This is a false premise sorry... If I start my strippers and fall asleep before they finish their 3 minute cycle that does not make me a botter. The "repeat mine" option on the drones pull down is part of the game where as running a third party macro to continue mining is not.
Then too, have you ever tried to mine afk using drones? Rats eat the drones alive before you could mine a jet can... afk the drones would be gone and you'd be sitting there alone in space.

Na, botting involves bots. AFK farming does not involve bots. it's that simple.

It does the same thing, set your sentrys up, out of npc aggro, set your ship up to aggro, and go away.
It is the SAME concept as botting, you set up, then go afk, getting something else to do the work for you.
I have seen 20+ people do it recently.
Easy fix is to, make the drones power down after a few kills if a order to attack ot assist hasnt been given after so many kills.

So if you've ever used autopilot, you're botting.
If you've ever used the repeat cycle on your guns, you're botting.
If you use any of the hujabajillion features in the game to make it fun, you're botting.
In my day, we used to cover those 9 jumps to a different system by walking. In the snow. Uphill. With no shoes. Yet you warp around in your fancy ship without even having to get out and push.

No, it isn't. While the net result may be the same, they are two very different things. --Vel

so your saying, that we should tell all our drones, individually might i add, to mine a asteroid, and then whey they finish, we should tell it again!??!? idk about you... but i like my "mine repeatedly" option. as for them being bots, they simply don't want to talk to you because your quite annoying. Gank them, or go off and do something else.

So OP, what you're saying is that afk farming is botting huh? Then what do you call the stuff you do with PI, manual labor? Grow a brain or at least think before posting trash. PI is afk farming b/c it happens without you being there. You set it up, tell it what to do for a set amount of time and it does exactly that, whether you're there or not. So technically speaking, you're saying that CCP broke their own EULA by giving us bots. So what's next? Gonna tell us that passing gas is the same as taking a dump?

AFK'ing with drones has its drawbacks. Not least is losing your entire flight of drones cause the npcs decided to change targets or a new group spawned.

Sorry no, it's dumb. This is a non-problem waiting for someone to stir up contention over..
Do you think bots can't give occasional orders to attack?

Lol, you truly are a *t4rd*. And that's being generous to an entire generation of intellectually challenged trolls out there.
AFK anything is NOT botting unless you are actually running a macro/bot-engine. Go AFK for 20 hours without a bot/macro running and how much you going to make ratting/mining/poking-small-animals-with-a-stick? Not a lot...one cargo hold/spawn/however long your drones live.
Do you get it yet? It's called a GAME MECHANIC for a reason, it's been around a long time and so far everyone but you seem to have no problem understanding this. Go play tanks if this games is too complicated for you. Actually, tanks might be too much for you to think about. Try Hello Kitty, probably more your style. ![Razz](/images/icon_razz.gif)

Plus the fact that afking in a drone boat is not nearly as efficient as a bot. Drones are also ******ed and do not always focus fire on targets. The system is fine the way it is, your post does not make sense. If i were to throw cargo rigs and expanders on a hauler and afk mine is that botting too?
