I thought mining bots were against the rules in eve?

I popped into Agal just now and found 89 "bots" in the ice field happily mining away. If only i had enough corp members to go gant them all, the mess would be fantastic :)

Said person is not a bot, it's actually one person. Most people won't suicide gank him because of events at Fanfest.

Just because someone made a stupid comment publicly does not mean he should have immunity in-game. If anyone wants to set up a gank on him feel free.

We prefer not to talk about that, so I'll just leave you with "fanfest" and "wizard hat."

The barge buff was actually a stealth measure against bot-mining. Who needs a bot if you can now leave your ice miner carefree AFK for like 45 minutes? CCP's answer to Hulkageddon should have been about rewarding the active and the smart miners, not the lazy and the stupid ones.

They just ban the bots periodically to shake the black market up, thereby altering PLEX prices and increasing their own RL revenue streams.

Ever notice how the botsweeps go in cycles and are not a continuous thing?

And boom goes the dynamite.

You hit overload on the tinfoil for that one.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Do you believe that crooked cops and corrupt politicians also don't exist?
