On the contrary... The one who seems to have a problem with the sandbox seems to be YOU, since you say ppl should not bother with somebody else his business. But that's a huuuuuge part of the sandbox, bothering yourself with other ppl's business. It's pretty much unavoidable to bother with other ppl's business even.

Of course we all have different priorities but as a New Order sympathizer bothering with miners is pretty high on my list.

It's not even about bothering anyone or minding your own business. I don't care what you want to do in your game. It's your $15 a month. If you want to get the record for most ship spinning by all means do it. What you can't do is run some out of game program to play the game for you then you're not actually playing the game.

As to CCP not doing anything about bots I've seen this too. I've seen them ban people on a whim but turn a blind eye to others. I knew a guy that used to bot for years and was reported multiple times but never got banned. I'm not sure of the method to their madness but I would never bot because I wouldn't want to risk an account ban.
