Professor Wilkins	Posted - 2007.07.03 14:32:00 - [91] I personally think it is so wrong that macro miners/isk farmers are spoiling this game, my problem is that whenever a genuine player is mining to build ships etc for the market, players automatically think that that geniune player is also macro mining, so they come along and steal in the event the miner strikes back.
Cruthensis Gallente Farmer Killers United Corporations Against Macros	Posted - 2007.07.03 15:42:00 - [92] Yeah, identification is key if you don't want to annoy real miners, which I don't. A simple way, for those who have the time: 1. Add any playrs you suspect to addressbook. (Use a folder - keep it organised) 2. Login as often as possible (am before work, pm after work, pm to play, pm just before bed - or whatever, that's just my pattern) 3. If you see the character logged in (and perhaps in your system and mining) at ALL of those times, you're onto a winner. Steal, can flip, kill if possible. Let this run for perhaps, three days, to be sure, however, a 'sdjshfk' name and noob corp for 6 months effectively bypasses ALL of the above. Steal, can flip, kill if possible.
Nicho Void Gallente Hyper-Nova	Posted - 2007.07.03 15:52:00 - [93] Edited by: Nicho Void on 03/07/2007 15:51:46 Hi all, Inspired by voogru's example, I joined channel macrointel last night and got a tip for a system within my range. I hopped over there and found 4 sweatshoppers working away. My question is this: Has anyone come up with a successful method of getting agro'ed by these miners that doesn't involve can flipping? The ones I encountered last night were smart enough to use an Ity V hauler instead of cans and stayed in 0.9 space. One of the miners was sitting in a completely empty roid belt in a Hulk...and I really wanted to pop that thing. Has anyone tried a fishing technique? For example, load up you hold with a high end min and jet it near a miner. I would hope a human being wouldn't be dumb enough to fall for that...but I'm curious. ---------------

I got the same words from a 0.0 ratting raven when I blew him up. I am told it's chinese and very rude. You can respond with xie xie ni!

Think I may have been the person who tipped you off. Anyway, I haven't tried baiting with high end mins and, tbh, I'm not sure if they'd take that either. One other method I've heard of, but haven't successfully used (yet) is to get in close to the isk farmer and, when he has his drones attack belt rats, target him. Hopefully he will autotarget back and you will get aggo, and Concorde will come and rescue you. He put... creatures... in our bodies... to control our minds. He made us... say lies... do things.

I really think this is the most pointless thing I've ever read. Wow, you guys are SO lucky! Your lives must be perfect! If this is what occupies your minds, you must have no problems at all. I wish I could have a perfect life like you! "I am a middle class American/European and my life is so problem free I'm going to get upset about those poor people in Romania/China/(insert 3rd world country here) who are barely eeking out a living by sitting in front of a comp all day and sleeping under their desks so they can sell my fat rich ass some isk on Ebay." You guys need to get over yourselves, IMO. You know why CCP doesn't really care? They have things to do, and maybe they don't hate poor people as much as you. snip Please be nice and respect other players -TheDagda ([email protected]) Racism ftw?
The Chamberlain	Posted - 2007.11.13 14:59:00 - [98] N00b question - are they in a corp that can be war-dec'd?
Motokko	Posted - 2007.11.13 15:35:00 - [99] Originally by: voogru Edited by: voogru on 04/06/2007 22:52:03 Theres plenty of ways to kill farmers other than losing security status. I might make a guide on this too. Stop arguing and do this already. Sounds like a laugh. ------------------- "Stay Alert! Trust No One! Keep Your Laser Handy!"

Malcanis High4Life SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.14 18:35:00 - [102] Originally by: Karlemgne Edited by: Karlemgne on 07/06/2007 19:20:44 Originally by: Sunny Mooninite Edited by: Sunny Mooninite on 07/06/2007 18:59:53 Originally by: voogru Originally by: Sunny Mooninite HOW do you know how they work? I think you're full of it. Even if you had proof that 1 "smart isk farmer" did this other stuff, it still doesn't mean that they all do it. Admit it, you just hate poor people. And this is where I stop feeding the troll. Whatever dude, you know you're busted. Because I caught you making stuff up. You ARE speculating, you don't know what all Isk farmers do. Honestly, there are other careers in eve besides mall cop. EDIT: I've got more: You may think you're "making things better for the players of Eve" but you're not. You're just being self-righteous over something so trivial and abstract, that it took me 15 minutes to explain to a co-worker of mine what you're mad about. My co-workers place of birth? Beijing. Turns out his cousin runs a wow farming shop and people work there cuz they are getting paid twice what they would elsewhere, even with university degrees. snip Please do not advertise the sale of isk for RL money -TheDagda ([email protected]) Last time I checked at $15 a pop for gtcs you get about 150 million isk... meaning? Meaning, to get 1 billion isk by selling GTCs you'll pay $35 us extra. Which is why I suggest CCP peg GTC isk value to something appropriately close to cheap farmers... maybe 250 million isk for a 30 day GTC. And this will, of course, fluctuate with the black market. And I tend to agree with your political assesments. -Karlemgne Right. Because historically, price controls have always worked SO well The GTC exchange rate is set by players, not CCP. "Fixing" a 30 day to 250M means that those players who do depend on GTC are even more crippled; some will simply drop out, reducing the ISK supply to GTC seller. Who will, er.... just RMT ISK instead. CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.
Gareth Ravenclaw Caldari Aquilan League	Posted - 2007.11.14 20:03:00 - [103] as a new player this is an interesting topic, i will have to look out for these farmers. I play other mmo's and have had to deal with gold sellers, but they seem to be very crafty in EVE WoW main: Mellonyj Guildwars: Grace Healer Xbox Live: SeveringGecko
