Right, we all know that "asadqwd" and "sdadqwd" both in the same belt, in exactly the same ship 23/7 are macroing. However, they are still in the starter corp and in 0.5 or higher systems so are difficult and expensive to kill because the friendly neighbourhood CONCORD will come and WTFPWN you.
So, I had two ideas which I think would be a step to stop this kind of isk farming.
1) Make the newbie corps not so safe.
But, we don't want veterans camping outside starter stations in their navy issue battleships. Basically, anyone in a newbie corp is safe up until they have been in that newbie corp 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
In other words, the second they have been playing EVE for a week, they are no longer near immune to attacks. To make this easier, the cost of creating a corp should be lowered a tad to perhaps 500k ISK (or perhaps free?).
So, now, assuming these isk farmers are in 0.6 space farming away in an ice belt in State War Academy Corporation, once you attack them, several "Patrol Vessels" will come and start attacking you and will have roughly the same damage output as a sentry gun with about say 70% passive resistance to each damage type. Anyone in player corps with no war targets would still receive the usual CONCORD protection.
Now, if this happens, why won't isk farmers simply make a corp and keep jumping corps when war-decced? Well, Point 2 stops that.
2) Leaving a corp should take longer, perhaps a week to do. This includes after roles being removed. So, in effect, roles would be removed instantly, but would still be a week to that person could leave the corp. This would stop war-dodgers but wouldn't affect the casual gamer that much.
That's my take on how we can cut down on isk farmers. Feel free to post suggestions. Thanks,
Cons

Yeah, I like this idea. Join a corp and start to pop their ships and they can't get rid of you for a week.
It is like a free wardec.

That could be stopped.
They could make it so you can't attack a fellow corpie without getting aggro from concord or the sentries.
So, you'd need to in-station trade or jetcan things.

This idea again ?
It comes every week, and has so much potential for abuse that it always get rejected...

One quick question, as some of my mates and i plan on ridding the servers of "some lagg"() ; If we're in a gang, and one of us steal from the farmers can, and he gets aggro (just in case they DO have a sentry of sorts), will we all be able to shoot back (as in, will it be gang/fleet aggro?).
Thanks in advance,
Ooyama.

Your ideas suck balls this big.
Any solution to the problem of macro/ISK farmers should... actually address the issue of players using macros and/or RMT.
Your ideas address not being able to wardec people you want to.
While there is probably some overlap there you're only tangentially addressing the problem and causing a ****tonne of other problems in the process.
I suspect any actual solution to the problem involves flagging suspicious players and watching everything they do/all of their transactions till you have identified which corps are the gold-farming corps and then mass-banning them.
Since the Quarterly Economic Newsletter didn't report horrific inflation I assume that is what they are doing and that they are on top of things.

....until they have been in that newbie corp 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59

Way too short perieod of time for the average player to get into eve without playing
hours over hours every day and way to less time to get the skills to actually fight
back.

Well, 1 week you say... how many people will be annoyed due to this only to prevent
the so dreaded "war dodging" ?
Main point is, that CCP are keeping the doors wide open to isk sellers, e.g. : You can¦t
transfer money FROM a trial account, but you can transfer it TO a trial account. It¦s
hard to really proof that the "sender" of the money knew that the guy on trial is
intending to sell them for real money (we all "know" it, but ... ).
Bad enough that some people have to make their living by playing a game that other do
for fun only.
We all should keep in mind that the ISK BUYERS ruin the game, the seller just feed
their market.
But enough of that, i think the ways to get rid of ISK farmers in high-sec are pretty
much limited without messing the game up for a lot of players (yes, even carebears pay
bills and are for that : customers).
Maybe change the game mechanic that you have to be uncloaked until you receive the money
for killing a rat. That might give some time to scan out those ravens flown by "asadqwd"
and "sdadqwd". And do your part of "pest-control" when ever you in low-sec and meet one
of those guys.

Your idea leaves too much room for griefing newbies.
The macro miners and isk farmers are an issue which only CCP can deal with effectively. Only they know for sure if askljklj is an isk farmer or not. It would be terribly expensive to deal with the problem. The only solution would be to set up a large, full time team that can respond within seconds of a player report to check out the account to see whether or not it is an isk farmer or macroer. I highly suspect that the staff has enough to handle as it is responding to player petitions and thus don't have time to do this issue justice. Maybe this is something the new player counsel can urge CCP to do.
On the other hand, I loose a lot of sleep over isk farmers and macro miners. I don't like them, but no matter what the level of security is on CCP's part there will always be cheaters. As long as CCP makes a reasonable effort to limit these practices they will not overwhelm the game. Relax! What goes around comes around. Cheaters will be cheated and they will eventually be caught and expelled from the game.

This. It always comes down to a wannabe griefer not being able to grief the entire population of the server.
Tackle farmers some other way. Have them under the "account sharing" part of the EULA when someone is logged in for more that 14 hours or so per day. etc.

Is this now or in relation to this idea?
If it's now, can flipping works by you stealing something from him and his whole corp being able to shoot you, your goal is to get him to steal it back, which allows your corp to shoot him. This doesn't extend to gangs/fleets, only corp members.

This idea comes up every damn week.
Not everyone in an NPC corp is a macro miner or war dodger.
Not everyone wants "corp" life.
Not everyone wants to be a war target.
War decs are abused by many to grief other corps for a bit of easy pew pew and improved kill board stats.
People can play eve as they like it. Its not up to the players to enforce the rules, thats CCP's job.
The current system may not be perfect but it allows those who do not wish to be in an organised corp the freedom to do so and also allows those who wish to avoid war, the freedom to do so.

Make 2 tiers of NPC Corps.
Tier 1) Only allowed in for the first 6 months of play or until you leave your first corp.
Tier 2) Automatically joined when you leave a player corp or when you pass your 6 month birthday.
Tier 3) NPC corp that can be applied to and joined
Also, some rules for the different tiers.
Tier 1) Like current NPC Corp
Tier 2) Cannot be wardecced by player corp. However, other NPC corps will occasionally wardec them according to storyline demands. This opens up people to some risk, but only from other people in a similiar type of corp.
Tier 3) Same rules as current NPC corp, but with 20% tax. These are the mega corporations. No one is willing to take them on, and they have the power to get money from their members. (Also a good isk-sink for NPC corp mission runners)

Only members of player corps can fly industrial classed ships. This would entail:
Mining Barges of all variations
Freighters
cargo haulers
blockade runners
1 week cool down after leaving a corp before you can join another, and you cannot leave a corp while piloting an industrial classed ship.

I don't dispute that macros is a problem, but I think CCP should be the ones that prosecute them, sure players can petition them but thats it.
If it gets widely spread that players take the EULA into their own hands then it would mean innocents would suffer, and one innocent that suffers is one to many I think.
NPC corps should be left as it is. There are infact plp that want to play this MMO solo and that is in my humble opinion not wrong. This is just a game (and a one-of-a-kind to), and I think as many plp as possible should be able to enjoy it. This is most certainly a view on it thats shared by CCP.
About War dodging. I think thats a valid game mechanic, just as you in real life could just go to another country if your country is attacked. (And this is not the forum section to discuss wheater or not one should do that irl)

Fair enough, it wasn't an emotional whine, just a simple statement.
I won't allow people with your mentality to dictate how I have fun in my free time.
If Eve becomes even more hardcore, then so be it, but it won't be the game for me. I want a vague chance of deciding when to have my fights.

\o/ Im in thread #132545668778921135459786577862145221 on this topic.
No matter what you say will fix this issue will not as long as.
A.People in the real world have money to buy in game stuff and the lack of morals to do it..
B.Games that have virtual items that people with lack of morals are willing to spend real life money for ingame stuff and suppliers to supply it.
This will not go away with A & or B still around.
Also I'd rather have CCP concentrate on the game!!!!
Or you can petition CCP to double the montly fee to hire the dozens needed to police farmers/isk sellers/isk buyers/macros 23/7..
And finally you "solutions" are not solutions.
1. It is unfair to the greater percentage of players in NPC corps esp very casual players.. Its more like giving greifers more to do.
2.CCP already did that , made it 24 hrs to leave a corp if you had roles.. Again it looks more like a Greifer's solution to more targets.. This "solution" is just plain stupid.

Especially since the changes proposed don't make eve more "hardcore" or anything.
Well, there is no argument in the post for a change, I don't need an argument to refute it...
Bah, I'll put 2 basic arguments in favor of not changing the current way the game works, that have not AFAIK been contradicted yet :
- it won't change anything, macro users / isk farmers will still be able to do what they do now,
- regular players, that do not cause a problem, will be annoyed by this change.

What tax rate is your player corp? What benefits do you get from that? Ships etc?
What benefits would the NPC corp give to its members for the tax they pay?
I'd be happy to pay tax, but not just as a punishment for being in an NPC corporation.

How NPC corps are organised as a game mechanic has nothing to do with macro miners ... get over it.
War Dodgers arn't the problem, the poor war dec mechanic is ... get over it.
No game mechanic can be made ungriefable ... just get over it.
Stop trying to solve a problem (macro miners) and one alledged problem (war dodging) by harming innocent bystanders (people who don't want to actively pvp).

How about this? Everyone in an NPC corporation cannot use the autopilot, has their signature radius multiplied by a hundred, and has their agility time reduced by 90%? Oh and all in-game music is replaced by the sounds of screaming cats, and automatically have a security status of -10.

Wrong -
Jeez, sorry I haven't to spell it out for the reading comprehension impaired:
AFs, Dictors, BCs, BSs, Command Ships, Carriers, Heavy Dictors, HACs, and Cruisers aren't on that list. So while in a NPC corp, you could still fly those ships.
