Their policy of not telling us is wrong. They should post the real names, addresses and such of ALL the banned ISK farmers. Preferably with a ready link to the Google Maps and a webshop that sells baseball bats.
I'm serious.

LOL. I agree... well on the first bit anyway.
I think CCP should give us weekly updates as to how many have been banned. They had a big news release and fanfare about it many months ago when those initial 80 got the bullet so its not exactly against their policy to keep us informed.
The fact that theres zero news on this despite the many many posts and petitions does lend credence to those that think CCP are now putting $ signs ahead of the concerns of the legitimate playerbase. 
A few stats go a long way CCP!

Just did read in a norwegian newspage that WoW have banned over 18 000 accounts more or less 200 accounts a day....
CCP ... take notice !!
Originally by: Xavier Black
Righto.
WoW has 5 million subscribers.
200 / 5,000,000 = 0.00004
0.00004 * 100,000 EvE subscribers = 4 accounts.
So CCP need to banning 4 accounts a day to keep up.
Not so impressive anymore, eh?
ownt

I'm hoping the silence is as a result of CCP secretly doing a massive audit, which they can't discuss for fear of tipping off the farmers. 
I'm being a nub again, aren't I?

nice, didnt know that :p
but reason I put it in was because of the amount of "joo'r spellling suxors" post i see on these forums(and I can spell quite good really. its my typing that's horrible :p)
and before anyone accuses me of pointing out poor spelling in my original post in here, I was not. I just said I liked the word automagically. I dont know if that was intended, a typo or a pselling error. and quite frankly, i dont care. I like that word 8)

Now after you'vre read up on the Asperger part you won't get disturbed by this but - I kinda think there's a difference between Einstein and the leetspeakers, (And other sucky spellers of that kind) as it seems to be a selfchosen type of spelling... Honestly, can ANYONE misspell "you" with "u" 10 times in a row or "j00" for that matter :P

Also a very very simple reason to fix this problem is to add a 'report to CONCORD' command.
Resulting in a NPC CONCORD member sending a char request together with a random question.
If the requested char doesn't answer, they're fined by 20% of what they own and also get their ship blasted to hell.
People have always sofar flamed "mini-games" and "puzzles" and "questions" as such straight to hell. They would rather have the farmers around than spend 2 seconds and 2 clicks of their time a few times a day.

"Eve only has 80k accounts and I'd hazard a guess that a sizeable amount of those 80k belong to macroers. Banning macroers in large numbers costs CCP revenue."
Don;t kid yourself, not banning botters costs CCP revenue also. As players get fed up with every asteroid field being empty, fed up trying to climb the hill on inflation to buy basic t2 items etc... and over all sick of cheaters in the game period.
They destroyed lineage2, there destroying eq2.... They will destroy Eve also... you see they are never content they do the msot effective way to make money.... Wait till they are skilled up enough and start clearing out the best complexes and farming them to the second...... Right now it is macro mining because it is easy but soon they will want to control the rare market to drive up thge rpice which in turn imposes the need for ISK which in turn leads people to buy the ISK from them off ebay or thier website...
This is big buisness for them don;t be naive and think it is some pimped faced kid in china making a little extra dough, these pro farmers run extensive buisness models and are very agressive they do NOT care about games just money they can make through the games.

well tbh I am sure there's a differene :p
and I misspell there constantly, always typing tehre(guess that has something to do with coordination :p) ah well
also, langauge changes over time, nothing you can do about it really. take *** for example, about 60 years ago you could say "I'm happy and ***" and people would think you were very happy. now if you say it people wil think your homosexual(and probably risk getting bashed as well depending on where you say it :p)
edit: funny, g a y gets blocked out, but homosexual makes it past censoring check :D
and to the moderators, I appologize about having to move past the censoring, but my point would probably not come trough otherwise ;)

as long as eve time codes can b sold for isk nothing wont change.
if itllg et forbidden, and ccp would even investigate the ebay sellers etc. then the macrominers and sweatshops would get hurt.

True, the system is easy to abuse, however put the should-be-implemented macrominer reportsystem should only react if enough people report.
hence a minor group of muppets can't abuse it.
AND if they report more than say 10 people a day, they get hunted by concord instead.
Rather easy

I'm no programmer, but surely there its only a matter of coding to detect tihrid party macroing programs running in the background.
As far as multiple accounts, well I think the whole idea is stupid as hell, and only a total loser would pay for multiple accounts, but EVE kind of encourages this behavior in its more hardcore users by making alts fairly pointless. Anyway, CCP wins because they get more sub money. I'd wager there are only around 7,000 users online when it says there are 19k. EVE wouldn't survive if the uber-nerds weren't so addicted to friggin video game that would for more than one account and spend real $ for ISK, jsut to get an edge on other players in a non-existant world.

CCP just gave all players a nice new toy (module) to mess with macro miners. The Tractor Beam - simply tractor the ore can out of reach of the miners while the tugging operator is away - no place to put the ore - they stop mining. Just go through the rings of a system tractoring the cans away and soon enough the operator will think something is wrong with the macro, or get the hint that it is just not working and quit.
Oh and of course put in a petition (system name, time, macro miners names) I have sent in many of these, it seems to work, but only until the next one starts up. It is getting rather disgusting to find all of the high security systems with rings of Veld and nothing else. Even the macro miners are pickey mining now. When was the last time you saw a ring that had plag or pyro over 400 let alone any omber or kern in a .6 or above?

Locked for persistant flaming, and the fact that there are more threads than enough regarding this matter.
