IB4 All hisec miners are botters

I'm basically asking how else other than SOV could you generate such vast amounts of isk to sell?

A good point was made in another post. Search Google and see how many hits you get. How can a few mining bots generate enough isk to sell for so many websites?

How can a few Traders, being the market is so competitive?

How could it be anyone BUT the big guys in Null?

1. Find out how much marauders/any good L4 ships do an hour.
2. a is the amount from 1. a * 23 = b, profit per day
3. b * 30 = c, profit per month
4. lets say an RMTer runs 40 copies of eve in highsec: c * 40, profit from 40 copies per month
5. question solved?

You make way more in good areas of null... so no. Not at all. Nice try though.

How would Chinese farmers make that much isk on this server?

My question is : How hard can it be for CCP to track them down?

-Buy from them.
-Pay via a reversible means like paypal.
-Trace the isk back to the original account.
-Reverse the payment.
-Ban account.

I used to do it all the time with pirates selling my software on ebay.

You know if people would stop buying ISK from RMTers and use the official methods, we would not have to worry about this.

But this can be done by any guy, you dont need to have connections to stay/live in 0.0 or something. Just all by yourself

Its only about 50-60%

You know if people would just stop driving drunk, we wouldn't have all these drunk driving accidents.

That is, in essence, exactly what you just said.

So wait......you mean somebody actually trained up 40 accounts to use marauders AND bought the hulls AND fittings to "bot" in them ?

Thats a lot of isk required to "make more isk", by then that person would probably be bored by the amount of effort required to maintain that style of play.

You really don't make that much from missions, i'd be down in null running anomalies if i wasn't such a casual risk averse carebear scrub.

yeah this is pretty much nonsense

missions are hilariously heavily botted: for a long time one of the surest ways to make money was buy implants shortly before a big patch and sell them right afterwards

why did that work so well? because each new patch would break mission-runner bots for a few days to a few weeks, causing far fewer implants to come to jita and causing a price spike

the swings are much less extreme now because of fw though
