axis featherfall	Posted - 2005.11.20 23:18:00 - [1] hello every body i am a macro hunter i believe these fiends need to be dealt with and killing them helps only partially in olden times to take an enemy castle you had to besiege it and the best way to do that was starve them out thats what i do ive alrdy dealt with the macroers in the derelict region and forced them to move on along with a few conscripts that i found along the way to help me what i would like is any info from nebody on any macro activity distance is not an option just give me reliable intel on there location and i will come and deal with them and grab a few ppl from local to help aswell :) all help in this war against macroers will be appreciated ccp has failed to protect us from these fiends therefore we must rise up as a ppl and crush these usurpers of our resources join me my friends for though they mine our ore and buy our modules they can never take our pride and we will make them wish ccp would have takin care of them let the war begin Axis Axis

Galk	Posted - 2005.11.20 23:26:00 - [3] Originally by: Eris Discordia Witchtrials are no longer the thing to do this centurary. Please visit Salem if you want to act like judge and jury. My views having been the victim don't differ. ----------- When they asked me if i knew you, id smile and say you were a friend of mine.
axis featherfall	Posted - 2005.11.20 23:41:00 - [4] who said anything about witch hunts these ppl are clearly exploiting and breaking the rules there is no justification nor trial they must be punished and ccp cant do it so its up to the ppl to fend for themselves Axis
ToX1c Revamp	Posted - 2005.11.20 23:42:00 - [5] im so sick of every second thread being "i have an idea to stop teh macrominers!!111". if they bother u so much, by all means spend all your in game time bumping them, stealing their ore or formulating plots to wipe them out or some other obsessive thing. however, since it's not actually your problem, my advice is to just give it a rest already, and if you feel the need to 'do something crazy!'.. petition them.

Spot the macroer :P Kidding! Something does need to be done to stop them tho, its true. CCP should just take ú100,000, buy all the isk on ebay, and shut down the accounts of the people sending them the money, and the people that said money came from. It might put money in their pockets, but it puts them out of the game! _______________________________________________________
Skelum	Posted - 2005.11.20 23:49:00 - [7] So how about we all put our ears and eyes together and make a list of systems and names of macro'ers in them. We all simply relieve them of their ore.
Skelum	Posted - 2005.11.20 23:52:00 - [8] Just like to add. Why not setup a channel MAcro Hunters. Or a corp dedicated to hunting them down.

ToX1c Revamp	Posted - 2005.11.20 23:55:00 - [10] thing is, i used to play lineage 2, the most gold farmed game in existance, and there were so many anti-farmer 'vigilantees' who for some reason felt it was their duty to kill these farmers on sight. thing is, the farmers fought back, they made alliances and actually held territory. not that im saying this would happen in eve, however. but my point is that this is not our problem, they are not breaking our EULA and no matter how much anyone is "teh macro hunter of doom", it wont make a difference. if they want to macro, they will macro until they are banned, then they will open new accounts and macro some more. anyhow, play eve instead, im sure it would be more fun.

axis featherfall	Posted - 2005.11.20 23:58:00 - [12] great idea m8 the channel has been made channel name is macro if nebody has intel either post here or come to channel
axis featherfall	Posted - 2005.11.21 00:01:00 - [13] yes i did why are u defending them if i choose to spend time hunting them down why should u care its not like im asking u to do it
Agent2 Holtze	Posted - 2005.11.21 00:04:00 - [14] Link 1 Link 2 These 2 links will make you happy, gogo get tha cans! Cheers! ~ Quovis Per Adua ~
axis featherfall	Posted - 2005.11.21 00:06:00 - [15] :) beutiful m8 ill definitely be checkin those sys out
ToX1c Revamp	Posted - 2005.11.21 00:12:00 - [16] Originally by: axis featherfall yes i did well i dread to think about the innocent people you are harrassing in game if you think my posts in this thread is sufficient evidence that i am a macroer. Originally by: axis featherfall why are u defending them re-read my posts, i am not defending macro-miners at all, im simply tired of reading threads like this about people with similar obsessions. Originally by: axis featherfall if i choose to spend time hunting them down why should u care its not like im asking u to do it you know what? do what you like.. you just better not run into me while im mining and start harrassing me.
axis featherfall	Posted - 2005.11.21 00:19:00 - [17] first off i dont harass nebody thats not a macroer i sit there for like 40 mins talkin and inviting to convo and bumpin and if they dont reply i take there ore if they then say something i return it i have no interest in harasing inocent miners and ur no exception id leave u alone as long as u answered or acknowledged i was there
Victor Vision	Posted - 2005.11.22 13:19:00 - [18] Edited by: Victor Vision on 22/11/2005 13:24:04 Originally by: ToX1c Revamp thing is, i used to play lineage 2, the most gold farmed game in existance, and there were so many anti-farmer 'vigilantees' who for some reason felt it was their duty to kill these farmers on sight. Good. I wish we could do that in Eve without friendly concord visiting. Originally by: ToX1c Revamp thing is, the farmers fought back, they made alliances and actually held territory. Even better. Killing one is nice, killing all of them is nicer. Originally by: ToX1c Revamp ...my point is that this is not our problem, they are not breaking our EULA and no matter how much anyone is "teh macro hunter of doom", it wont make a difference. You are so wrong its starting to be funny. Macroers make a big difference to the game for the worse, so it does affect all non macroing players negatively. Originally by: ToX1c Revamp if they want to macro, they will macro until they are banned, then they will open new accounts and macro some more. Wrong again. If there is effective ways to make macroing unprofitable it will stop.
Bhaal	Posted - 2005.11.22 13:28:00 - [19] Edited by: Bhaal on 22/11/2005 13:28:15 I've asked b4, and I'll ask agian. Is there anyone willing to setup & maintain a website/database where we can keep the macro miner's information all in one place? Now would be the time to start this data aquisition, then when RMR hits we can strike. Is there anyone who has the means & desire to setup a website like this? ------------------------------------------------ Current Hobby other than EVE
Rheinkraft	Posted - 2005.11.22 13:29:00 - [20] Just leave it to the gm's. by hunting them yourself could lead to a 'Derek Bentley' case. "Devide and Conquer" -DI3-
Bhaal	Posted - 2005.11.22 13:41:00 - [21] Originally by: Rheinkraft Just leave it to the gm's. by hunting them yourself could lead to a 'Derek Bentley' case. The GM's can't handle the problem, that has been apparent now for some time. If innocents die in the process, I'm sure the situations could be resolved... The key would be to have very good intelligence, and no action taken until the evidence is properly reviewed. It would have to be a group of highly competent pilots with conviction to carry out this crusade in a manner in which to not bring undue grief upon law abiding miners. It can be done, but just like anything else worthwhile in this game it will take a fair amount of effort & dedication. ------------------------------------------------ Current Hobby other than EVE
Summersnow	Posted - 2005.11.22 13:53:00 - [22] Originally by: axis featherfall yes i did why are u defending them if i choose to spend time hunting them down why should u care its not like im asking u to do it #1 -because you type like an immature 12 year old. #2 - being an immature 12 year old your prolly incapable of distinguishing between legitimate macrominers and a real mining op. #3 - having the above mentioned handicaps you are far more likely to harass LEGITIMATE players then macrominers. This is the problem with ANY withhunt, it starts off all noble and crap but some ignorant, overzealous individual eventually forgets the noble and just turns it into a way to hurt other people to get there jollies while trying to claim its for some "cause". Now, I'm fine with CCP allowing you to stomp on macro-ers PROVIDED CCP also protects the innocent people and BANZORS you and anyone that follows you the second you cross the line and turn into a griefer harassment force, but I know CCP won't do that cause there game is all about the grief.

You're getting all worked up over nothing. We'd be doing a service to the game. Some inocent miners might get steamrolled, but if I were in charge of an op where that happend (shouldn't), there would be re-imbersment... When RMR hits, miners will be griefed to hell by pirates, macro hunters will be the least of your worries. ------------------------------------------------ Current Hobby other than EVE

Some inocent miners might get steamrolled, but if I were in charge of an op where that happend (shouldn't), there would be re-imbersment... Be careful what you say: my alternate character - I believe - has been under surveillance by some people while he was in the Eletta system, probably because they were trying to see if it was a macro-miner. (Despite the fact that the name does not even match those used by macro-miners.) Believe me, as a freelance pilot in an Iteron, you rather notice when a pair of Vexors seem to take an active interest in your affairs and travels. (We're talking following between entire systems and bases here, always one of them nearly glued to my wake; talk about unnerving for a newer player.) And not only do most newer players (like me) have zero idea of how to file a claim for reimbursement, if it started to eat into the profits of the player who had killed them, it might turn into an ugly dispute. (And who is to say that ever op commander will behave like you?) CCP may have given you an unofficial green light to pursue macro-miners, but be careful of the targets you select to engage. _________________________ - Well look at this: 'pears we got here in the nick a time. What does that make us? - Big damned heroes sir. - Ain't we just.
Bl4zer	Posted - 2005.11.22 14:42:00 - [25] Originally by: Samuel Baxter CCP may have given you an unofficial green light to pursue macro-miners, but be careful of the targets you select to engage. Having thought about this a bit I have decided that I do not have the resources to determine if a player is a macro miner. So I have decided to target all miners. I am working out a role play back story and I will post it on the IGS forum once I have made it semi-literate. There aint gonna be safe space for miners once I get going.

Exactly, that's why I think a website with database should be viewable by all, so ppl like you who may see your name on the list can stand up and refute the intelligence claims. If it was a very open system, and the targets knew who they were, the system may function more as a deterrent than anything else. Not to say that there won't be wild gun slinging macro hunters out there not following the guidelines of such a system gunning for you, but you will have RMR pirates doing that anyways. I think if it was head up by very responsible ppl, and information flowed freely, we could accomplish something here... ------------------------------------------------ Current Hobby other than EVE
Macro Slasher	Posted - 2005.11.22 15:06:00 - [28] Kids, keep in mind that many of the "most profilic macroers" are not macroers. They do not just respond to you because they don't want to talk with you or they simply can't talk in anything besides kanton chinese. Reacting to you all the time just simply serves no purpose. They are not often macroing because it is cheap enough to pay some kid to play the game in a sweatshop for some couple dollars a day. They can not simply be caught for the "macroing" because they are not. So their investment of buying playing time can't be wasted abruptly. Also they will reach nicer and nicer mining platforms gradually. Then later the ISK gets sold for real money. The kid(s) get some, someone else gets more. And CCP is 100% forceless with them. They launder the money ingame and outgame well enough for the business and protect their accounts well enough as well. Macroers might be still easy to nail. These guys are not. They can go on for months.
Bl4zer	Posted - 2005.11.22 15:09:00 - [29] Originally by: Macro Slasher Macroers might be still easy to nail. These guys are not. Yes, I agree. Easier just to target all miners. Yarrrrrr.
000Hunter000	Posted - 2005.11.22 15:11:00 - [30] Want macroers? Goto the Verge region, and check out the systems around scolluzer. Last time i went through 5 systems ranging between 1.0 and 0.8 and in 4 of the 5 there were macroers. How do i know? if there are 5 ships in the belt named 'ndsdsdssd' and 'eafdsfsrefs' and so on and they don't respond to u even if u bump their ships half way across the belt and still this hauler comes in every minute or so, flies around for a few seconds then warps out again even if theres nothing to pick up, well then the case is closed for me, ccp should let the playerbase deal with them ingame and in eve fashion, a message comes up, stating 'ndsdsdssd u have acted in a criminal way and now have to pay the price' the person should be flagged to everyone so we can shoot the b@st@rds!!!
