Originally by: Acoco Osiris We already know about the courier farmers, now can you give our eyes a rest?
Yes, and I'm sure he knows we know about the courier farmers. But he's also got a viable suggestion to allow the players to be rewarded for both this line of anti-macro work and piracy to boot. Hows bout' you and people who post like you give MY eyes a rest and be silent. -------------------------

Originally by: Kahor For those that have never seen them, it's hundred of pilot, with farmer like name, all belonging to npcs corporation, flying around in bestower, badger Is and iteron mark IIs, t1 fitted, in low sector, running courrier missions.
It's obvious to anyone that met them, that they are farmers running a multitude of accounds with or without macros selling isk on whatever website.
If they are flying in low sector, why not just kill em, would you ask me, well I did, for a bit, but you must understand that there is hundreds of em, each kill you make is hardly hindering them, but screw your sec status, while you take the risk of being tackled while sentries kill you and this, for absolutly zero gain.
Yes guys and gals, the drops from mission are absolutly useless, they do not even appear on market and are useless to anyone save the mission runners, it means there is no point killing them unless your short on t1 cargo expanders and inertia stabs.
This is a huge play ground for farmers, and I'd go as far as to say that this does not fit in eve online, even for regular players.
My proposed fix is to make the courrier running missions give items that can be sold on the market, balance the price and the standing loss accordingly so that anyone wanting to sell the items for isk instead of running the mission will think twice about it, or even better make the collateral equal the item price.
This also make much more sense in the gameplay, and give the opportunity for players to regulates farmers (at least this kind of) without GM intervention.
At its base its a good idea thats been suggested many a time, however posting it in this section won't do much good. I suggest taking your idea a step further and write up a well thought out suggestion in the features and ideas discussion section. Wiser and more constructive folks reside there and Devs like people who post their ideas down there instead. -------------------------
