Although I approve of depleting ice fields, I give you -1 for starting yet another whine thread about high sec ice mining.

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

Why would we have to do anything about it? That security team thing they have for bots has an awesome algorithm for detecting these things....right???

Now, how do they detect prison inmate and sweat shop slaves being used for RMT rings?

Why?

Did CCP remove weapons from the game since last I logged in?

Or do you mean,"The player base is now scared to do anything about it"? That would be more in line with the general state of 'elite PVP' that I've come to love in this game.

The dude who took that screenshot probably doesn't have containers on the overview, and if there are GSCs all over the place (ice fields always do) you won't be able to smartbomb them.

Please do not confue multiboxing with botting. There is no evidence of botting in this screenshot.

Yup...scared.

So you can do it. You are just scared you might have to pay for your fun. Nothing fun is free, bucko.

Got it.

I didn't say they were bots. I said they were slaves used in RMT rings to avoid bot detection OR bots.

So what costs do ice miners accept?

Chance of Ganking? Nope. (Or rather, insignificant.)
Requirement to be at the Computer? Nope.
Fixed cost to run? Nope.
Variable output? Nope.
Effort? Nope. (A dozen mouse clicks per hour is not effort.)

So, what do the ice miners have to pay for their fun?

Wouldn't limiting ice belts just make it more lucrative for botters to ice mine and make it harder for regular players to cash in?
Just imagine ice belts being depleted a few hours after DT, not a good scenario. In my opinion making ice near-worthless is the best way to counter ice-botters, but thats me.
