I have a pair of macro miners that have been reported quite a bit by various people in my "home" system. Used to be a third, but he's disappeared lately.
They are on 23/7. They use hulks, no drones, no jet cans, no shield boosters.... NPC pirates attack them, and are ignored. They do not jet can mine, they only mine till their hold fills up, warp back to station, dump, undock, warp back to rocks, mine some more till the belt runs out, move to next belt, rinse, repeat. Most of the "inner" asteroid belts are mined out constantly by these people.
They never talk. Never do anything other than the automated script. I've tried conversing with them, only silence. They're in NPC noob corps, so you can't war dec em, they don't use drones so you can't exploit them, they don't jet can so no can flipping, and utterly ignore being targetted :).
My only consolation is that their method of mining is relatively ineffecient, however, since they play NON-STOP every day of the week, the entire time Eve is online... they can more than afford to be ineffecient.
Wish Eve would do something about these people.

Reading this thread gives me the impression that miners are the most anti-social people of Eve. Let me get this straight - you all like to sit an mine without interacting with anyone at all, ever, and try you best to avoid even the most cursory of communication? Why bother to even play an mmorpg?

Mining is an extremely boring acivity that people tend to semi afk play as they chat or do homework or watch tv or fap to furry pron whilst browsing /b/ or any number of other rl things you can do at the same time. So would you want to be bothered by a bunch of anal retentive nubs being gm wannabes by harrasing you with constant convos and evemails? **** no as thats the whole point of solo mining: Making easy isk when your rl intrudes upon your eve time such that you can't focus enough to pvp or pve but not so bad as to keep you from glancing over at the client every few minutes and dumping some ore/ice.  |

Considering the *constant* whining about Trit prices, you would expect half of the EvE population craving for MORE macro miners.... |
