any interactive module or non passive action would require that, otherwise your just victimising 1 small part of the playerbase for a problem that is not of their making
bots don't just mine
bots also rat in nulsec
bots also do distribution missions
im pretty sure bot programmes are robust enough nowadays to be configured for pvp |

OP is confusing ISK faucets with mining
Mining produces 0 ISK
You could mine continuously, 23 hours a day, for a year and you would have a grand total of zero ISK
NONE, NOTHING, NAUGHT ..... these are the words your looking for to describe the income generated from mining.
A miner has to sell his Ore
Trading in Eve incurs fees and taxes
Mining is an ISK sink, it removes ISK from the in game economy.
You want isk faucet botting removed ?
Then turn your attention to nul-sec belt ratting.
Mining is a low entry profession choice within eve
Low Entry means both low cost, and low skill requirements
Both descriptions apply to NEW players
You don't want new players in eve ?
Fortunately, the devs are generally smart enough to be able to ignore the drivel and meaningless mewlings the OP has posted.

It's called interpretation
so lets rewrite your OP to address Nul-sec bot ratting
Reaver Glitterstim wrote:Bot mining ratting is extremely common because it is more than possible to mine rat enough income in highsec Nul-Sec to plex the account using a simple computer program that can run the mining ratting operation.
seems fine so far
Reaver Glitterstim wrote:Solution: Make highsec Nul-Sec mining ratting not profitable enough to sustain an account all by itself.
oh .. that could be a problem.
that's a shitstorm of tears and angry venting just waiting to happen.
but I digress, let us continue to explore the 'merits' of your suggestion
Reaver Glitterstim wrote:
Economic reaction: Nearly all highsec Nul-Sec bot mining ratting operations will disappear; the majority of remaining highsec Nul-sec bot miners ratters will be characters that are used for other things as well. The only remaining characters devoted entirely to botting will have operators who run other passive income sources as well to suplement their income.
yeah .. the botting would stop, but so would normal ratting.
in theory, from a game-lore perspective, it's sensible, why do concord care about npc pirate ships out in nul-sec where they have no influence.
but I have a sneaky feeling your alliance friends might not be quite so keen on a development like this.
want me to carry on .... ?
do you need more reasons why your suggestion is both untenable AND mindbogglingly stupid ? |
