After playing EVE for years I was getting bored to death. I am a retired programmer so I decided to write a ICE mining macro for a Orca and 2 Macs. I found a language that was good for this and went to work. After a few weeks the macro was working. Everything was controlled with the mouse like a human could do. Now the testing began and EVE was fun again. After the testing the macro could work 23.5 hours a day if I wanted it to. I even had radar that would attack NPC with drones. I also had ICE target lock varification just in case an NPC unlocked the mining laser targets. I also had graphic instrument gauges for laser timer, docking timer, undock timer, warp to ice field timer ,final approach timer, cargo hold, ore hold and corporate hold. I took the pictures from an airplane instrument panel. Depending on the ICE market I averaged about 250 mil a day. I could have made more but only operated the macro about 16 hours a day. My computer is in my bedroom and I cant sleep with it on. After I was banned for macro use I was actually relieved. I could not play any other games on my computer with the macro running. Now playing EVE again without making 250 mil ISK a day is not very much fun. Ive learned my lesson and will not use the macro anymore. Now I only check in to make sure my alts are getting trained. I have a few months of playing time but when thats up I will probably just let the 3 accounts go dorment until a major expansion. Its to bad because they are god ore and ice mining accounts and soon will have 3 god combat alts.

I don't see the issue. You weren't playing before, you aren't now.
I just wish you would get a forum ban so you would stop regaling us with your tales of being an ice pirate.

You didn't play EVE in the first place. You just botted, watched bots and tended to them.
My high school experience was having my computers run Mephisto and Pindleskin in Diablo II for me. I rarely even played the game once I started doing that.

On the bright side, you improved the GUI interface. Why the *bleep* can't honest players get that?

OhaiOPwazgoingon ? Look here, I made on average 750 mil ISK/day in the past year and a half, didn't have to break the EULA at all, probably put in far less effort than you did, and also saved a truckload of electric power since I didn't even have to be logged into EVE to do it. How's them apples ? _

Do it with a new character and starting with only the amount of isk that a new character gets by default, then brag about it.
Sure you are good at trading and reading markets, but you are sitting on billions and billions of isk to trade with - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - OLD FORUM I ♥ YOU, NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN! |

Hey, 1k USD/month equivalent of cash saved in PLEX equivalent isn't that bad for something done in your spare time, no ?
Originally by: Skippermonkey Ok, what i was getting at was that you probably werent making 750M a day in your first year....
Frankly, I didn't bother to, back then. You could reach that value with a lot less initial capital and in a relatively short amount of time if you put in a bit more effort than I did (my effort was almost exclusively spreadsheet-y in the past two years, minimal to almost no 0.01 ISKing). _

OP is expressing his butthurt over the fact that he feels like he can't have fun without botting, or something like that. And we're making fun of him. Sort of. And don't really believe all his claims that he also improved client-side EVE heavily. _

So, OP, when I want I can make a billion isk a week, and anywhere between 100 and 150 mil a day on top of that. Usually I'm bored though and have enough isk for my current projects. Learn to play other aspects of the game, IMO. --

I just think its sad that you are smart enough to be a programmer but not smart enough to make 250 mil a day playing eve with a ****load of money ready to invest.
Amazing TBH. . Adapt and overcome or become a monkey on an evolution poster.

Edited by: Reborn Master on 25/05/2011 15:36:56 This man is collateral damage in a war on script kiddies. There is no logic in pursuing those who code, actively develop, and use bots while they are sitting there. It is an extension of ones self. If the borg played eve, would you ban them?
EDIT: I digress.
The real problem with bots, and to a greater extent macros, is that script kiddies (if you don't know what this is, leave the thread. People who do not understand an issue do not get a voice) will use freeware tools to make macros, or use freeware/proprietary premade bots. These kiddies (who are typically under 14 or over 35) are the real issue here.
EDIT: Though, 250m a day is pretty ****ed. Especially considering all you have to do to mine ice is target the ****. The only real work you need to do if you have drones out is move the ice from the macks/hulks to the orca. You can literally just watch movies on netflix all day, while dragging ice over every ten minutes or so. Haul the orca every two movies, and you're golden.

Actually the problem is botting is cheating per the EULA.
Games are made with a set of rules, those rules define the game, hopefully those rules make the sides even enough to make the game interesting. This also applies to sports.
When someone breaks the rules they are cheating. A very simple concept.
Cheating can also be synonymous with breaking the law. So when a adult thinks of someone cheating they equate that person as breaking the law. And if you had to spend any amount of time in RL, then you would understand why people get ****ed off at cheaters.
And flat out if someone is cheating it makes the game pointless.

Roughly 250 million isk a day with three accounts running for roughly 16 hours. . .
That's around 80 mil a day per account, which is around 5 million isk per account-hour. Impressive.
I think this thread touches on several issues. 1) Mining is SO DAMN BORING people resort to this ****. 2) Mining income is just not worth the time 3) OP is a scrub.

Actually the funniest part of the whole Botting and buying ISK game is that you lost the game instead of winning it.
You could have a trillion ISK and if you cheated then you still lost. The point is to beat the game within the rules if you can't do that, you fail, and that is all. |

I agree mining is mind_numbingly boring. If they did somehow manage to remove all bots that might help mineral prices, but they still need to remove the ability to refine modules dropped as loot into minerals... AND they need to increase greatly the mineral loss when refining player-built items. Asteroids should be the only source of minerals imho.
