It's been sugested before and the same response to it still applies.
Why penalise the legitimate miners? It would drive real players nuts and probably provoke the loss of a few legit accounts.
I'd say it again, but Drizit already did. . .
Second, most of those 'macro' miners are sweatshop workers, who would have little trouble going between half a dozen clients doing letter recognition. . .

Where did I just read that it was discovered that many of these folks aren't actually in sweat shops, but are actually college students trying to support themselves? Though I guess it is easier to hate them if you call them sweatshops...
Doesn't matter. They aren't going away, no matter what, because there is always going to be someone willing to pay cash for isk. Doesn't matter what scheme we come up with, or how much more difficult we make mining on legitimate miners, the macros will ALWAYS work around it.
Don't blame the macro, blame the buyer.

College students eh. . . 
Either way, it makes little difference, the ships are manned, they won't have too much trouble with this idea, you would only succeed in ****ing off legit miners.
Which, ironically enough, could snowball. Drive off legit miners --> fewer minerals, prices go up, farmers get more ISK. . .
Gridcrash is right, only way to kill ISK farming is to STOP BUYING ISK. Even though that means fewer fools in Officer fitted Nightmares for pirates to pop.
