And I doubt it could keep people from botting either. Actually yes, since it will move the cursor to a random direction that a bot cannot prevent.It would fumble the bottter mining. As for the ganking a + for merc corps , guard services etc.
Incorrect, a bot would actually handle the situation in a much better manner than the average human. Anything that a human can do that is based around coordinating a pointer or keypresses a computer can do just as well or better. The only thing that computers cannot do are things that require one to look at things from a subjective, and constantly learning perspective. As for captchas computers feasibly could analyze the image and get the correct answer if the parsing program was robust enough but it's just cheaper to pay some shmuck in India or similar location to do the captcha for you, which can be integrated into botting too.

Now If I were a rich miner in the time of EvE,I would 1..Make sure I built the biggest mining boat I could,with shields and armor for the needs..2.. pay off Concord to make sure that second shot from the scumbags never come..
But would make me feel really good when ganked?? If concord just disabled your guns and held you in a tractor beam for me to come back in a pew-pew ship and ass gank you ..
Just fair right??
You can keep CONCORD around with a throwaway alt, you know that right?
As for your third point, sounds pretty malicious. You sure you don't want to try suicide ganking? It's fun! |

And reward bots even more since they can do the task very efficiently for almost all forms of tedious minigames. |

Charlotte The Harlot wrote:would moving belts around every couple hours do away with botters?? two things That need to be done together..
1. make it impossible to bot..
2 make it impossible to gank high sec miners..
The second option is a terrible idea, which CCP clearly agrees with.

Just fair right?? We are not talking about political and "social" problems in game. We are trying to improve the miner fun experience, so like I suggested in this topic.Get into a mining corp with serious ops in high sec and hire some muscle to protect your miners.You guys are just being greedy, want to keep all the profit.Sometimes if you want to make some profit you need to pay to reduce the risk. Its not bloody rocket science this sort of logic. Well what we mine never hits the market,it ends up building crap down the road for my friends to waste..The problem is social..look what every Goon has been railing about for the last month..CCP has a mechanic in place to help the helpless,but every goon and his mother tries to work arounded what CCP intended.. Mining offenseave defensence or defence and yet all you hear are cries to even make them more helpless..CCP could do this..But you retards think all those statue shooter sub cancels were allot..The amout of production players that will bail will stagger this game..
What this game needs is logi support that can INCREASE your existing EHP. Not just repair damage, alpha strike makes that pointless. But if you had logistics that say would overload your shield or harden your armor with some sort of physics defying beam then this would indirectly make soft ships harder targets with the proper support. It would also help defend other things from alpha strikes since they would need to bring more and more, making it less cost effective. There would of course have to be tactics and counter-measures to it as well like ECMing the logi ship or killing it first but it would give the defenders an actual ability to defend, and not just retaliate which I believe is really pointless.
If you fly to protect a ship you should be able to actually protect it, so EHP increasing logi ships would be useful. |
