DonTrump	Posted - 2005.08.17 10:30:00 - [31] Its kinda funny this has turned into carebear pvp, bumping these guys all over the place to **** them off. CCP obviously is not trying to do anything (yes iv petitioned many myself it does nothing) so the players have to take back the asteroids on their own. Shame they can't atleast work the macro miners into the storyline atleast.

DonTrump	Posted - 2005.08.17 10:37:00 - [35] Iv seen a GM in a belt watching a group before and they are still mining today. The problem is its not totally afk macros. Its like 1 person working 20 accts at once, they will respond. So its almost impossable to win this I do understand.

Esab	Posted - 2005.08.17 11:02:00 - [41] Ive seen this happen myself..if I remember rightly and you suspect someone of macro mining you can steal their ore but only if you petition first. I have also tried the ramming tactic. Be much more simpler if it was impossible to have the protection of a noob corp after a certain amount of time. Yes I know that will annoy some people and start the flames off but ......if you can't do the time...don't commit the crime. No need for anyone to stay in a noob corp for more than a few weeks etc. EvE would be a lot nicer place if people couldn't hide in noob corps all the time and would make it a lot more interesting. Yes new players need shelter to begin with but we all have to go out and face the big wide world at some point dont we? Macro Mining has the potential of crippling the economy in EvE...Its needs to be stopped . And the sooner the better in my opinion.

sonofollo	Posted - 2005.08.17 12:24:00 - [45] well removing their roid perhaps anyone that sees a macro miner can get onto a channel - lets say other near the missions channel and we could organise groups of strip miners to come along and remove their roids - stuff em up

sonofollo	Posted - 2005.08.17 12:44:00 - [47] ice in high sec ? mmmm im sure enough of us have ice mining skills easy enough to take em out
Sorja	Posted - 2005.08.17 12:54:00 - [48] Don't macrominers help keep the price of minerals low? If 3 ISK for trit can be considered low, of course.

I have also tried the ramming tactic. You can steal anyones ore that you want to, afk/macro miner or not. You'll get abuse for it if they arent afk/macro mining though but you certainly dont need to petition to do it.
Serpensis	Posted - 2005.08.17 13:13:00 - [50] Why is it so hard for CCP to ban these guys? They completely annihilated every `roid in Yulai during the night. -- "Fear accompanies the possibility of death, calm sheperds its certainty."

Yes true...but if you willingly steal ore from someone you know is macro mining it is considered an exploit..unless you petition first. Then you can steal it without being accused of exploitation.
Quanteeri	Posted - 2005.08.17 13:34:00 - [53] See, this is exactly the reason why CCP allows Empire wars to take place. If you live and depend on the rocks in a certain region, and some guy comes along, sucks down every rock and disrupts your operation, you can warDec, and make them pay out the ass, but this whole system is subverted by allowing people to live their entire career in NPC corps.
Unknown Subject	Posted - 2005.08.17 13:45:00 - [54] im sure most of us know the names of one or 2 ore thieves. give them a job to do and keep them away from your own ore cans =)
Plymer Ization	Posted - 2005.08.17 14:44:00 - [55] I've been thieving from a group of 10+ macroers in Onga for the last month and a half. I've petitioned them twice, but nothing. So, I just keep stealing as much low-end as I can stuff into my cargo hold. After a while, it tends to make "them" mad and change belts/system or log off, but there are times when you'll warp into a belt and see a single Veld rock left in the entire belt, with two Apocs sitting with all their lasers on it. Makes me mad, since I don't know anyone who would name themselves "bazhe1", "bazhe2", "jiajia", "jiajia2", "qoqoqo" or the like. Seems blatantly obvious that they are macro miners to the extreme. I mean, sure, it's nice to get free ore, but c'mon, it's getting rediculous.
EC Skelton	Posted - 2005.08.17 14:57:00 - [56] With the increase of macro miners the ccp has to be extremely vigilant in making sure that accounts are not being sold over internet auction. Macro miner numbers will be reduced as long as the people trying to make a profit from selling isk on places like eBAY are caught,at least i hope so
lythos miralbar	Posted - 2005.08.17 15:00:00 - [57] Quote: Yes true...but if you willingly steal ore from someone you know is macro mining it is considered an exploit..unless you petition first. Then you can steal it without being accused of exploitation. hmm yes good point. See what you mean when its put like that. Stops people from not reporting macro miners and just nicking thier minerals for hours and hours. If you dont have to report it then its in the unscrupulas players interests not to.. more personal gain by not reporting and nicking thier minerals for extended periods.
lythos miralbar	Posted - 2005.08.17 15:04:00 - [58] ps.. anychance ccp can create a forum where people can report sightings of blatantly obvious macro miners?? they can then be targeted by ore theives? not nessecary to give out names in reports, just something like "I was watching a bunch of of macro miners in yulai last night. there were 3 badgers hauling and a load of miners. they were all in a noob corp with almost identical names"

Macro miner numbers will be reduced as long as the people trying to make a profit from selling isk on places like eBAY are caught,at least i hope so What is interesting is that so many websites dedicated to Eve-Online have banner adds from Google advertising sites where you can buy/sell ISK. I think it is very funny when I see a post with a link that has been stickied and the first thing I notice is "Sell your ISK here...brought to you by Google Ads" It is funny, but yet it ticks me off as well. I wish CCP could at least get Google to not accept ads from ISK clearing houses, Google should be sensitive to issues of intellectual property and violations of EULAs and whatnot. The only reason to pay for 10 accounts to macromine is to sell the ISK; at least force the markets underground and out of the sight of most of the players. Ulthar Adopt a Paramilitary today! Support your patriots!
Allen Deckard	Posted - 2005.08.17 15:15:00 - [60] theres a group in gicodel that I have wondered about for awhile. Have a hard time with 8 covetors mining an ice field every day pretty much all day. Either macroers or really dedicated players.
