Actually quite like this, but yes, unfortunately the backlash from Eve's botting community would be immense.

Make things harder for botters? In the short term, yes. Then they code smarter bots who can probe and you'll be back to square one.
If Eve can ragequit over something as small as the Nex store.. watch the rage unfold over a big change like this.
Personally, I like being able to log into Eve, check out local, see no goons, get into a Tengu and warp to the 6/10 without having to... oh wait.
Also, bots that can probe... maybe. Bots that can probe quickly? No. Plus, from CCP's perspective, chances are they'd find those botters a hell of a lot easier if they four hours straight of terribad scanning to watch out for. |

I have a friend who has great Sec rating and he almost never kills belt rats. There are other ways to raise sec standing.
Just out of interest, how? I've always done it by the old one BS each system null roams. A more boring approach would be awesome though 
Also, good point on this killing ratting. I would say just have this for the high value ores, but then it wouldn't really fix botting. Although it might make it less profitable. |

Not that I particularly agree with the OP, but do you have any evidence that there is a scanning bot? I've certainly never heard of one.

Its all in the config.
As for substantive evidence? I have none.
But it doesn't take allot of imagination and common sense to see its plausible.
I especially like the part where you use evidence to support your hypothesis.
Probing is different from utilizing d-scan or killing rats, due to the fact that it requires intuitive use of a 3 dimensional interface. But if you wish for evidence beyond that, just look at the bots available. None of them have probing functionality.
It doesn't take a lot of imagination or common sense to claim that incursion bots are plausible, that doesn't mean it's technically possible or viable. No matter how much imagination you have, technical limitations are technical limitations.

"I was on the sites that sell botting programs just to do research...... honest!!" Discussing the way someone may go about cheating is frowned upon by CCP.
Bots and their capabilities are well known, discussion of them is frowned upon only when you are naming them, linking to sites or (to a lesser degree) promoting their use.
