We all know that ISK farmers stay in noob corps. We know that 90% of them use the small barge, the retriever. How about making barges only trainable when the player is inside a corp.
Yeah, I know. Freelancers cant have that then but they can create their own 1-man-corp and still meet their ppl in a chat that they create. Real players can find ways to stay in touch even if they are not in a noob corp anymore. But farmers dont know the game that much. Ppl can declare war on them like on everyone else.
Issues with this idea:
Ppl could create their own corp, train barge and then leave again. Maybe disable the skill in this case.

The problem is, at this rate the only ship type youll be able to fly in newbie corps eventually are the newbie frigs.
As it is trail accounts already cant fly indys, which tbh ruins the Eve ExperienceÖ by quite a bit already because theyre one of the most useful ships ingame.
A 1-2 month time limit on being in NPC corps is better tbh, after this you should be getting increasing penalties untill you join a player corp.

How about...make the starter guilds charge a monthly membership fee, which rises exponentially in the same way that rental costs do?
Or...limit trial accounts to only using the miner 1, rather than limiting their ship type. At least you'd slow the buggers down a bit.

To be honest I hate doing anything that would restrict gameplay for any legitimate user in hopes of thwarting bunch of low lifes.
On that note, I was thinking that the only idea I have come to like so far is introduction of powerfull rats into .5-.9 systems. There is suggestion floating on the forums here, called "Rogue Drone Invasion" Basically it premises on the fact that drones have prolifirated and now are on a full offencive.
There will be un-announced and strong spawns of Rogue drones in .1-.9 system belts, where it would take a massive effort by a player community to put down. In other words, all the Farmer and AFK Miners and Macroers, people who are not organised for anything other than leeching resourses will be the first to fall once the drones enter the system.
Again, as I said, I dont like restricting anyones gameplay just to root out few rotten apples.

im not totally sure aht you mean by isk farmers but restricting mining any more and ever new miner will just have to give up mining skills take far longer to train as it is.
im a fully paying player of eve no trial acount and it will be about a month befor i canuse a mining barge and im 2 month in to the game so the worry of trial acounts is not needed

I read a topic a while ago that got me thinking, a rare thing that is.
An emergency button that has to be pressed once under fire for Concord to arrive? By having such a button a lot of the afk mining would be gone, it should only be available when fired upon.

Macro'ers often have someone watching over the a bunch of accounts, so they'd press it. And that does bad things to any normal player afk.

If the concern is afk-miner/farmers, thin out the belts, and stagger the respawn rate of roids over the day in anything .5 and higher. Don't let a given belt hand out tons of ore in one shot, make it hand out a little every couple of hours. enough to satisfy a couple of newer miners, but not enough to strip-mine millions in Veld in a single-shot. make the fields only valuable to those who need them and too limited in value to interest farmers.

Ive seen these guys..
He was in a battleship, name was like "aabb70" something jibberish, every 5 minutes a hauler would come in, then warp out. The haulers name was something jibberish too.
He wouldnt answer to a chat request, his emplyoement history was amarr, the starting corp, he had no security status, no employment history. You'd think he was a bot?
He basically strip mined the whole system of kernite in a day and left the real players with nothing.. someone ought to blow these farkers up

I came across a few macroers the other day. And let me just say that the GM response was pretty fast. I think they might have already been on the case but their tools for eliminating macroers seem to work really well. So my suggestion is just leave it as is, and for those that encounter macroers to just report them.

As far as I'm able to tell CCP is on the case, looking at the prices of IKS now a days it is a lot more difficult to collect enough to start selling it.
As most might not have noticed in the last patch notes for patch: 3896 (Blood)
Quote:
GM tools for detecting and banning macro'ers and other evildoers have been added and improved.
CCP will be attacking them more and more and in the end as they control the application they will be able to hinder them enough to prevent them from harming the universe as we know it in any major way.

Should you disagree with me, well I guess that is because I disagree with you. If you have a problem with that please feel free not to tell me. |

I wonder if CCP make any effort to track down those who BUY the ISK? For me, they are as much if not more to blame. The macro'ers are just supplying a demand...it is these CHEATS (and that's all it is, plain and simple - CHEATING) who buy the ISK that are the root cause of the problem.
As to how you prevent it though, I have no ideas.
