There are web pages that when you sign up, make you type in a string of ASCII after reading them from a picture. Sure you've all seen them...
Courier missions get given these, yay no more Macro Haulers?
On a side not, does anyone actually run Courier missions for the purpose of 'fun'?

Highsec courier missions are good for raising standings if your combat skills aren't good enough to run combat missions of the same level.
Besides all the macro haulers give the gate campers something to shoot at.

That's not fun, that's grinding for standings...

I run courier so I can still play game - which is fun - and do homework.

My science character got access to his Lv 4 agents mostly by hauling missions.
Love the anti macro idea however.
Play nice while you butcher each other.

It doesn't work, all it does is **** off legitimate users.

Well a small agrevation to legitimate users so Macro Haulers can be banished is a small price to pay...

then why not make it so that in order to undock you have to enter a code string in a box...
Small price to pay for all players to hinder all macro'ed pilots

QFT
I beleive this is CCP farming out coding to the players
they nerfed hunting their own NPC haulers
now they're having players create their own.
see... CCP provides

Becasue a vastly smaller percentage of the EVE's population run courier missions compared to the amount that undock... Thus hassling as few people as possible while solving the Macro Hauler problem.
Your idea would end Macro's completley but would be a pain :(

There is no such thing as macro haulers.
They are hired labor.
There is a HUMAN BEING controlling multiple accounts.
Which means, any kind of ingame CAPTCHA event will not work.

Human labor is used for 0.0 ratting, but most certainly there are macros doing the hauling missions and even ice mining. I've seen it done, and seen someone banned for it. But the fact that it's possible is still  . (Humans used to do the mining, but people stealing from their cans was ineffecient. Now they use hulks / mackinaws and just set the macro to dock when the cargo fills up. Sure, it's less effecient, but the don't have to pay a person to do it, so they can scale up 100x.
The 'human labor' guys also spread out, trying to remain un-noticed, the macros don't care how obvious they are, there are so many of them it's a full time persons job if you were to ban them all.
