Dysfunctionality

Apparently some of the local Isk farmers up in Fountain have been reported killing some of the residents who attempt to hunt NPC pirates in "their" systems. So far I've seen a few killmails from various killboards, listing deaths to their "blobs" of ravens (and the occasional Ishtar/Arazu), where the comments that followed were:
"I was ratting..."
"They jumped me!!! I didn't even go for them!!!"
"What the hell just happened?..."
And many other (quite funny) statements.
Anyone else seen this? Just Curious if it's only happening in Fountain.

I've noticed this to... they first scout the belt you are in with a pod ( how obvious is this o_O ) then jump in 2-3 ravens 1 warps at 0, the other at 40 or so and they use different ammo types then what the rats you are hunting use.
Like if your ratting guristas, they will use EM torps.

Sounds like people are surprised that the isk farmers have brains too. Isk farmers shooting back isnt part of the stereotype... once again the stereotype didnt fit. What a shock.

If an ISK farmer uses all his ISK to PVP, is he still a farmer?

Hello friends how are you all today? I am fine. My name is Donges and I think it is actually very positive that our isk farming brethren are changing their ways of isk farming and starting to PVP because that is what the game is all about, right? Maybe the thrill of shooting other players will make them change altogether and stop their illegal activities and start being real PVPers instead of mining all day long or ratting or whatever it is that these "players" do and it may be fun to see if they will make a coalition of sorts and declare a part of EVE as isk farming space where they will all rove around in battleship gangs killing people because they come there expecting to kill isk farmers but they are actually pvpers. I think it will be very interesting to see how this whole thing plays out!!! This is just my two cents I just wanted to let you guys know how I feel about this whole matter because my opinion on this is important and I know you all want to know how I feel about this, isn't that right friends.
Your friend,
Donges

Hello friends how are you all today? I am fine thank you Donges.
I also believe it is fantastic that they are finally beginning to experience our fine game as they should do. We must encourage them to do more, such as pod players, build POSes and run around yelling viva la Jessica Alba. I also think they should run around naked and talk in local about how much fun they are having sitting naked in the office.

they shoot back now, log out when u got superior numbers to, perhaps the GBC corps renting up there housing these macros should kick them out. Obviously if youre ratting in a system and neturals come in u get youre alliane mates aggro their wrecks when they go logoffski u scan em down and make em have one less raven

Titan doomsday macrotrap 4tw. And on the upside, there is no news of them using capships or interdictors yet, so the Titan would be safe.

I honestly don't see how them trying to defend themselves can be anything but a good thing. The other day I found one of their ravens in a belt in my crusader, tackled him, and had to wait a full 10 minutes for backup that could actually kill it.
In that time, not only did my backup arrive, but 7 of the farmer's buddies, all in ravens (roughly a minute or two after our side started arriving). So a single raven kill, mildly exciting if for no other reason than the 10 full minutes of tackling him in a belt, turned into 8.
It was like christmas.

Am I the only one, who finds annoying the use of unnecessary coloring? It feels like "I have nothing important to say, lets color the whole of it!"...
About farmers shoot back... i might be wrong, but afaik there was a Doomsday pilot, who lead Xelas killboard for a long time. Some of the "farmers" are smarter, than you would think...

0.0 Pew pew. But seriously, this can only be a good think. I would find farming slightly less offensive if they had to participate in the game like everyone else too.

Oh ok. I thought all macro farmers hid in newbie corps in high sec to avoid being attacked. Interesting to see they are actually trying to stake out their own chunk of 0.0.

We've actually had a few of them try - one group in particular has a little pet Domi or Scorpion they like to wheel about in an attempt to bounce those who would attack the isk-farming Ravens.
Suffice to say, we quite like it when they bring the ships to us rather than having to go sift through dozens of belts to find them...

Actually, the main trick they like to do up north is to get into corps that are part of the main political bloc in the area, and try to rat safely under the standings so provided. At first I thought the groups that let these farmers in were simply unaware of who they were accepting, but as time goes on and I see some of these corps take in more and more known & confirmed isk farmers, I can only begin to presume that amoral greed, not mere ignorance, drives such recruitment. 
In such cases, one must simply look beyond the standings and deliver the unrelenting 425mm-calibre message of "we will not accept this playstyle in our game" regardless of colour tagging.

1) This is a bug and has been classified as an exploit by CCP Jiekon. The loss is reimbursable and you might well be hit with the ban stick if its petioned.
If isk-farmers will petition, now thats a different question , but still kind of risky, dont you agree?
2) Some people claim this bug is fixed anyway, havent tested yet myself, but sounds sensible as Jiekon said its top priority.
Why cant people stop posting stuff like this, you might get some people into serious trouble. Forum griefing?
