Programs like ISBoxer have been explicitly whitelisted by CCP so long as they're just broadcasting your commands to multiple clients.
CCP used to have a ban on doing so until a guy showed proof that he emulated the effects of ISBoxer entirely via hardware (that is to say, dowels and packing tape).

56% of all bots. Well done.

there was a stupid guy in my corp once upon a time and he is no longer playing.
but if you run macros in 40 characters at the same time, well then, ccp
can claim that you are perhaps multiboxing and not running macro.
to be honest, how can ccp realise that the X order which happens simultaneously
in 40 characters is because of a macro or it is a key pressed by a human
which was automatically repeated 40 times in different windows?
Look up "Unholy Rage" and see if you still think CCP gives bots a pass because they want the sub fee.

Perhaps turn mining into a mini game for extra yield or faster cycle time.
Goonswarm did turn mining into a mini game for extra yield for a couple months. The miners whined, and CCP showed that they wanted to reward the bot-like behavior and buffed barges.

The New Order is amazing and well written and has gone some way to make mining an interactive activity, if only CCP coild bite the bulet and change the entire mechanics of mining and mineral acquisitions. Scannable omly grav sites. Yes - keep veldspar ore in 1.0 systems maybe 0.9 as well so that the newest of all alts and players are introduced to the mining. Miming Laser Path Routes. The player draws a route on the ore which should follow a vein for maximum yield. Just an idea off the top of my head.
So how would either of those prevent "game mechanics mak[ing] people do the best impersonation of a bot programme, in order to be as efficient as possible"?
From what I understand, modern bots have no problem using scan probes. Drawing a route to cover some visible vein would similarly be easier for a bot than a human.
(PS The new Order is not affiliated with Goonswarm, nor is it related to Hulkageddon, which was the event I was referring to.)
