It's people like the OP that can't tell the difference between a bot and a program like ISBoxer that makes the petition system almost useless. They just keep spamming the petitions over and over with no regard for the people who have to actually answer their crap.


On the other hand they could have just contacted him and informed him about ISBoxer use...


Or the OP could have taken the first response from CCP that said they're looking into it, and realize her job was done.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I would laugh my arse off if someone reports OP for being a botter or something (many accounts, much online time etc.).

At one time, you could bring a SB Typhoon or two and clean up the whole problem, and make a nice profit besides.

Because miners whined about it, CCP, in its infinite wisdom, removed the only 'in-game' means to deal with the botting problem.

So now, you petition and wait in line and watch as commodity prices crash through the floor.

My guess is that Exhumer gankers also did the vast majority of accurate bot-reporting, but since they've been nerfed out of the equation...*shrug* let the bots multiply, I guess.

Only difference between a bot and a miner is about one mouse-click an hour anyway. Brilliant design.

Yes because do sit infront of there pcs ICE MINING for 23 hours straight right?


How do you know this? The truth is, you don't. You're either assuming they're farming ice 23 hours straight which is really dumb of you, or you're also at your keyboard for 23 hours straight which makes one wonder, are you also "a bot"?

Why not get some buddies and gank them for fun instead of profit?

Because it's not as easy as it was before. Don't get them started on that though...they will cry about it for a few hundred pages.

This guy warps in normally just after d/t and when i got to bed @ 11:30 eve time. He is still there, this morning, he was still there when i logged in @ 9:15am.
So what you're saying is that this person goes to bed after you, and in the morning he wakes up before you and starts his daily mining routine?

I cannot even begin to understand the amount of ISK this man makes doing this

Why has nothing been done?

8 macks, 3 orcas, now, tell me?

Macro much?

Let's hope CCP acknowledges this problem for what it truly is. Too long has this issue been ignored time and again (5 times apparently). Without customized ship skins it's near impossible for an artistically minded person to express him/herself in EVE. This person is clearly doing his utmost, despite the limited resources at his disposal.

Maybe we can dedicate a statue to him?

CCP doesn't care about macro'ers... Time has proven this, despite the publicity stunt of "Inferno Fury" or whatever the hell it was called...

Prices crash when production out races demand. Also there is a point where the prices are such where the goods will bought up to create an artificial floor and the price crash is reversed.

I've often in the past mined ice with up to 8 Macks and 2 Orcs. Sometimes for up to 16hrs.*

That doesn't make me a macro and you should not assume this person is.

The one I liked was watching a Hulk get popped a couple HG's ago... And the pod just sat there. And sat there. After about four minutes it left. Came back two minutes later (yes, THE POD), and sat there for about 12 minutes. Rinse, repeat. Frapped it for CCP, reported the bot. He was still there a couple days later (in a new Hulk, of course; someone must have come home from work).

CCP cares when it suits their purposes. Next topic?
