I'm skipping most of this thread, but I just wanted to say that I liked your choice of music so much I instantly bought it off amazon. Excellent song!

Also I dig your crazy mining fleet. Every time I think I can ballpark the diversity of gameplay in EVE I get surprised.

The most important question to me is why hasn't this fleet been ganked yet?

If this person enjoys some sort of griefer-immunity due to the fanfest incident (which was deplorable, but whose shelf life has run its course imo,) then that's not fair to the rest of us and isn't in the spirit of EVE. That immunity needs to be lifted.

If it's because nobody can be arsed to fleet a half dozen (overkill?) smartbombing bs's and get the most epic suicide gank of all time, then shame on the eve griefer community.

I can take a vidoe of the Jita undock and type whatever I want on the video...and I guess we will all just have to believe that all of Jita is just me controlling 450+ accounts.

Heh. All true. Still an impressive freight train of barges.

Thanks. I am working on getting my guys ready for another one.. I want to do 140 Battleships.. Not sure if I want to do all the same or some of everyone..


Aren't battleships slightly harder to control effectively than Mackinaws? Are you planning on using some software like ISBoxer?


Well I do not plan on using them to fight. But Just to make a video.. ALlot you can do with fleet comands. Just looking for something cool to do.. Also if you have any drone boat and launch drones and assign them to 1 guys. Well that is allot of drones going at one target.




Or train everyone up to carriers and assign fighters Shocked

Oh I have had allot of ganks.. That is part of the game.. No Immunity yet.
Last good gank attempt was 20 BS's and they killed 3 retrivers.

Also you say it has ran its course. Well that it has not I still get crank phone calls daily and e-mails in my personal e-mail. They are just not in game so nothing CCP can do about that.

I'm glad to hear that you're still a valid gank target and sorry to hear about the rl harassment.

Thanks for the video.

Seeing all those retrievers fly off into the sunset was impressive. And good choice music...I might never heard of Robbie Robertson else.

Impressive. Perhaps it was already said, and I missed it, but how much an hour do you figure you make doing this? Including login times, and time actively transporting isotopes, as they are part of acquiring the isk... Seems like a ton of work, but the longer you mined per stretch, well, I can imagine 10-12mil per, with boosts, if you had some efficienct system of hauling, ie a couple freighters. so that'd put you at a bil per hour, or more. if you reduced the number to 20 miners, a rorq, and a freighter or 2 for hauling, you could make that same amount in 0.0, get ganked less, and do it in grav sites =)

You should consider to apply at guinness book of world records gamer's edition. Also CCP for making a software that allow something like this on a PC. /facepalm

Why cant anyone see that this is a big, big problem with this game?

Whats the point in whining about bots when one player can do this? surely this is far worse for the economy than botting.

So all we are hearing at the moment are about the coalitions (CFC) KEeping all the goodies and having trillions of isk / ships etc stashed.

So how many guys do you think in these controlling bodies are doing this?

And everyone whines about RMT pff.

Someone needs to get their head out of their ass and stop this ****. Even though it is already too late.


Sure pay for as many accounts as you want, no problem.

....but restrictions should be in place to only allow what is HUMANLY POSSIBLE for one player to achieve.

Multiboxing software needs to be against the eula and bannable.

I mean 100 'actions' in the same belt from the same IP? - really? this cant be 'seen'?

I love this game and use 2 accounts myself .. hell its humanly possible to use 5 or maybe more but there is goint to be delay between 'clicks' and thus easlily identified.

Come on CCP, actually look like you are trying to stop this so this game really does play the way you market it to us.

Post with my main? This is my main - I just overtrain and overplay my alts.

And do you have evidence that this miner is engaged in RMT?

I don't think you understand just how wide-spread this is. CCP would lose many, many subs. Usually, people with this many accounts pay with PLEX, and a good metric of whether this sort of thing is "out of control" is if PLEX experienced extreme inflation. However it currently sits at a completely acceptable 550M.

Um.....

Come on Anslo, you're not that bad of a poster.

Seriously dude this is either a 'player driven market' or it is not.

The OP is a good reason it is not.

Theres only one reason anyone would defend this.

I have stated my opinion on the matter. Dont care how many 'defenders' of this want to troll - anyone with any RL intelligence who wants to play the game 'as marketed' will understand.

If what you are saying is that CCP are openly encouraging this behaviour for additional subscriptions - well I guess not many would disagree with you.

We're just living the lie bud. Living the lie.

What difference does it make if there's 100 players flying a Mackinaw each, creating 100 Mackinaws worth of mineral supply and otherwise no content whatsoever for anyone, or 1 player flying 100 Mackinaws doing exactly the same? Some things in EVE were practically desgined to be multiboxed.
