someone that takes a hauler into a belt and attaches 1 miner 2 and leaves it for 2 hours to fill up on a veld roid isnt a macrominer.
I think u will find there are so many newbie and alliance miners with their strip miners in those systems that those roids are gone within 2 hours of respawning.
plenty of roids in the 0.5-0.7 systems usually pretty quite - get out of the main core systems if you are a carebear into the 0.5-0.7 systems - or out into low sec planty of big fat roids out there hardly touched - why this thread im guessing someone is upset cause their 1 system roid field is empty suggestion ..... TRAVEL AROUND GET OUT OF 1.0 SYSTEM GET INTO MID SEC OR LOW SEC.
Ill keep shaking my head lol

i agree with avon on this one but if its a hauler with one miner 2 its probably just an afk miner - best thing to do in this case is to bring a strip miner and strip their roid if their roid pops 10 minutes into a 2 hour veld operation to get 8000 m3 of veld then their effort is stuffed
If its marco well thats a different story petition it.

good on him though lol - this macro mining would be almost impossible in low sec or 0.0 though - and u make much more ISK that way so really its a low level pain. newbies can find plenty of untouched 0.7 and 0,.8 sec systems in which the roids are untouched - u might need to travel from jita - yulai out a few jumps but u can usually find solid roids to mine from.

macro mining is using external software to create player ingame actions without the player playing it. Thats against the EULA and is wrong
AFK mining using a hauler however is within the game play itself and is fully acceptible. Most holds would fill up in 1-2 hours anyway or other players come along (i know i do to annoy em esp with the high sec kernite roids lol) with a strip miner pop their roids and move on - u can come back an hour later and the hauler is still sitting there mining thin air lol.

As for ore theives well jet cans (loot cans) are unsecured anyone can come along like NPC drops from rat kills and take whatever is in the can. So ore theiving in empire systems i would say leave it alone if players cant form corps or join empire mining corps and co operate with a hauler and a few miners setup then they should lose any "unsecured" cans.
Its part of the gaem the risk / reward / easy / hard thing

so keiron is what u are saying ie using a industrial ship with 1 miner 2 fitted is not allowable ingame ?
As opposed to macro mining which of course is wrong.
Do u have a point of view offically on AFk mining
A lot of newbies might be doing the wrong thing if it is wrong
