If you would be a multiboxer, running 20 mining ships, and you see a combat ship turn up in your belt, lingering for a while, you'd be thinking (most likely) that this is someone checking you out, and checking what the optimal location would be to gank you to oblivion (and back again).
I was in a proc. I agree with your analysis if I had been in a combat ship, but in this case I presented as a regular miner which, as it turns out, I am.
Incidently Hjortur seems to be a prime location for this activity. It is a Mega-Belt system (many belts) but they are nearly always cleaned out or depleted very early in the Eve-Day. |

Leon,
There's already someone RP'ing his way through Miner Bumping.
I present you the following link.
Don't know if James315 is still active though, haven't been on much in the past weeks.
I'm not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example. |

their some people who run 24 mining ships at once, altho being in a null alliance null mining is more porfatable then highsec ores. and a hell of alot safer too. |

Using the word 'Gold Farming' in an EvE forum makes me wanna troll you so bad you wont post right for a week.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

It's called Isboxer....it's all the rage for the serious isk grinder.....

If they talked to you, they probably are not gold farmers. Most people who sell isk use bots.

Please do not confuse multiboxing with botting, or in this case "Gold Farming". Thanks. |

This may have been answered:
It was a guy multi-boxing with a bot. CCP will allow bots that replicate a USER COMMAND across multiple clients. It will not allow a bot that replicates a programmed command.
IE
If the bot requires constant user interaction and just mimics the user, its ok.
If the bot is capable of running the clients with no user interaction.. its not ok.

The best advice I can give any Eve player, new or old, is to never ever ever read the general discussion subforum. It is a cancer on this game and should just be deleted. |

A couple of reasons spring to mind:
1) the fleet was Retrievers, which have jetcan-sized ore holds. Generally, the best way to mine with a Retriever is to pick a station system and warp to station when the holds are full, empty them and warp back. Given identically fitted Retrievers and identically- or nearly-identically-skilled toons, the holds will fill at the same rate and the fleet will all warp at the same time in response to a fleet warp command. The Ventures were probably newer toons that warped with the Retrievers for the sake of simplicity.
2) gankers and bumpers are known to warp scouts into belts in mining ships so they won't arouse suspicion. If you warped in in a barge and lingered, without starting to mine yourself, the guy might have decided that discretion was the better part of valor and docked everyone up.
Both of these are entirely possible within the EVE EULA.

Of course that should have been evident from the initial post. Yes.

Gold Farming is a relatively well known phenomenon in the MMOG genre, and generally a problem depending on how the game is designed to handle it. So its not my word; didn't know how else to describe the possibility presented by what I saw.

Unclear why telling the thread or me this is something you hate to do.
Because its kind of embarassing to play a game that attracts such individuals.
