Title says it all- What tools can we expect in the future to deal with macro miners? Right now the current macro hunters are woefully ill-equipped to deal with the infestation.
I am -not- one of those people that thinks CCP should just deal with it. The GMs have far too much on their plate as it is.
What I would like to see however are tools to let the community self-regulate.
Comments? Discussion?

I dunno. Suicidng seems to be the best way to deal with it insofar, but it carries the hefty price of standings decrease.
Personally, I'm not too hot on the concept of being penalized for helping self-regulate the server.
I was thinking more along the lines of individual wardecs. Say, 1m buy-in price, 30 minute activation, big warnings to the decced person, and re-up every six hours?

My poor griffin can attest to that.

EvE's macro mining problem is a matter for humour it seems.

Well, I've not thought this through, and for one very good reason:-
Nobody@CCP will take any notice anyway. You forget who is CCP's favourite account holder, sir.
However, it seems that there should be a place for an AFK weapon. Something like a mine, that doesn't show on the overview and orbits like drone, has a 5 minute fuse, and has no Concord aggression. Don't know downside the weapon should have... perhaps it channels energy down the tubes of active Strip miners, and thus hurt no vessels where these units are not present or not active.
It'd be handy if it actually did something very very obvious to human, but not so obvious to an OCR macro. Maybe at fitting stage, you get to vary some graphical characteristics or something...
I wouldn't really want to see human miners suffer to such a weapon, they're suffering enough to Macro Miners as it is. The sad thing is most of them don't even know. Sadder still, they probably don't want to know.
Seriously, if you manage to flip a tractored JetCan with your shuttle and you started 34Km away, it's a Macro in the hauler, make no mistake. |
