Chinese isk farmers are ruining the game for me. 
I am currently trying to find a 5/10 drone complex; I want to collect the compounds for production. However, I am unable to find one that is not occupied by these Chinese isk farmers. They are always there; I left my character cloaked in a safespot for quite some time, and I checked back periodically. Each time I checked, I did a scan of the plex, and I found that those same farmers were there.
This is true for all of the 5/10 plexes I have visited.
Anyways, my question is.. What does CCP plan to do about these farmers, and what should I do so that I will be able to enjoy this game?
Thanks.

Can't you just call them isk farmers? The fact that they're chinese is irrelevant.

Aren't the 5/10s in space without CONCORD? If that's the case then farmers should be really nice easy targets.

In China, its profitable ($/hour) to farm ISK. In Italy or Scotland, its not, so people don't do it for RL profit.

Usually it becomes fairly evident that they're Chinese when you open a convo with them and the window is filled with Chinese characters. But then, I guess that could be a ploy to throw us off. Er, no.

This thread reminds me of my time in WoW, where the players would use all manner of cliched anti-asian insults against the isk-farmers... who were mostly Romanian on my server.
It really doesn't matter where they're from, it's the isk-farming that's the problem. Putting 'Chinese' in the topic title and post is insulting to legit Chinese players, and unnecessary.

Urm, I don't see macro miners or whatever being in CNRs...
Are you sure they aren't legit? If they speak Chinese that doesn't make them cheats, as long as they are playing the game and not macroing.

If it really bothers you then post the location.
Local Pies will see to the rest.
Come to think of it,IF its truly Macros then they are probably hitting every lowsec plex. |

chinese or not should not be relevant! they are iskfarmers/macroers whatever you want but to say "CHINESE isk farmers" is just wrong
honestly you (and anyone else who starts stupid posts like these) should be banned from the forums.
as for your issue, if its a 5/10 complex how bout you grow a pair and shoot them? that'll put a nice dent in their income and they might just leave the area. plus they're in ravens, CALDARI NAVY RAVENS no less, what pirate doesnt want that killmail and possible faction loot.
so sure, come on the forums, advertise their location but ffs quit issuing a nationality to their action. (even if they actually were chinese)
ps - on the subject, can some mod please make up a rule to stop this slandering?!

Look, as long as they are not macro-mining, they are not illegal. The game rule did NOT say that one individual is NOT allowed to run complex repeatly for a long period of time.
You hate it because it bothers you, and I can really understand that. However, stop whining and do something if you can. Farmers are pretty good PVE pilots, but MAY not be good PVPers. So, just smash them down with ur gang, or asking for help in local channels, instead of complaining, or even whining with ur racist topic title.
There are a lot of farmers from China, I know, but also farmers from other countries. I don't think you are able to see the deference between Japanese / Korean / Chinese or even Thai since they are all multi-byte characters. Even by looking through the web cam, personally, I can't see the difference between American and European.
Yes, I'm Chinese pilot.

Edited by: Synapse Archae on 11/12/2006 01:57:03 Its doable, but not by a single player or a small group. You need a medium sized corp with a good coverage in all timezones. Elsewise they will just come back in 3 or 4 hours and get you at your weak point.
You need enough players to make it unprofitable for them to come in at any time of the day. That takes hard work from I would say at least 40 active pilots. Enough to maintain 3-5 available PVP battleships whenever the farmers show.
The good news is a plex does give out enough money to support a corp like that. - - -

Originally by: Cadela Fria The reason why we think they're chinese, is because they usually are...not only is their english really poor, but the ensuing chinese characters like someone mentioned, is a definite pointer.
There is nothing anti-asian about it...I don't hate asians at all, nor have anything against them.
I do however, have something against macro-miners or any kind of isk farming for the purpose of selling for real money. The fact that most of them just HAPPEN to be chinese or of that sort, is too bad, but thats the reality of it. I, nor anyone else besides themselves made it that way.
The point is that the OP was specific about a particular type of farmers, namely Chinese. If he would've just said farmers in general then it's all fine and dainty, but the implication here seems to suggest that any other types of farmers are okay. The terminology here needs to be refined.

Originally by: Synapse Archae That said, however, I can confirm that farmers DO go away. Usuaully after you cost them the first 3-5 battleships they leave for greener pastures. They dont have to hang around your complex and they know it.
I guess the persistent ones are in our neck of the woods then. But hey, as long as they stay out of my favorite NPCing systems and continue to come bearing gifts of Arby launchers, BCS IIs and Dread Guri mods (after they go pop), I'll be happy to keep killing 'em.

There are 3 reasons for me to hate this post.
1) Chinese farmer do exist, but they are not the only farmer group in EVE or any other online games.
2) Complaining the farmers would not be fair enough, while the rule here is: Demand made up the market. So, ISK buyers should be blamed as well.
3) I hate ppl whining when they realized that the fact is they're too weak to deal with their own problems while others are ruling legally. It's like a child looses a battle with another for a piece of candy and run into his mom, crying and whining 'That guy is so mean'. You got my drift?
Anyway, I'm outta here, or otherwise I may be envolved in the argument and blamed by words like 'You Chinese are all like xxxxxxxxx' kinda things.

Farmers aside which i hate...
Referring to them as a whole as chinese. That's a different story.
Think of it this way.. muslims in general hate americans. Why? because they voted for george bush.
If you bothered to work out the details, only 53% of them did.
And how many % of americans do muslims hate? 100%.
Same thing goes with american's views on asians/chinese isk farmers.

There is nothing anti-asian about guessing that the farmers are asian. It's a good percentage guess, thats all. Yes there is a little bit of steorotyping going on, but its not bad.
To me, the stereotypical Asian is studious, hard working, tenacious, understands the value of good grades in school and gets them. Strong family units, industrious, and a decent percentage of them are innovative if not down right creative.
Further asian stereotypes are Vietnamese -- Aggressive, Japanese -- Bold and courageous, Korean -- Somewhat arrogant but tolerant and friendly, Chinese -- studious, tenacious, exacting.
Now, anybody have anything bad to say about my stereotypical view of Asians?
