my post had nothing to do with bots. it had everything to do with your downright absurd claim that miners would "have to" learn scanning if everything was moved to grav sites.

i've had longer afternoon naps than it'd take to train the relevant prerequisites to scan down grav sites.


Sure .. but non the less I would have to train a Skill I do not want to have ... and further .. moving around systems just for mining with a profit less then any other profession produces .. why in hell should anybody do that then anymore .. and also actually pay for that ?! Where is the fun ?


i don't have the patience to write a reply to this beyond calling it drivel.

aside from removing the only remaining viable source of low end minerals, what will that achieve?

There seems to be a lot of confusion betwen botting and multiboxing in this thread.

Botting is against the rules of the game.

Multiboxing is not. In my humble opinion multiboxing friendly is one of the best features of Eve. If you see a bunch of accounts owned by the same person please do not automatically assume botting. Feel free to report it if you are concerned, but realize the behavior could be only multiboxing and do not be surprised when no action is taken.

In other words please do not confuse multiboxing with botting. They are not the same.

Thanks :)

I noticed a few months ago they did one of those mass bot bans. The system where I mine ice would normally have close to 100 people in it, not all mining ice of course, but anyway, the next day, the system had about 60 people in it on average, and only about a third of the ice miners. Was like that for a while, but now the numbers were creeping back up again. Will have to check to see if there are fewer in there now. Really cool when you see it happen.


wow 40 in one system? I thought the eve-o forum alt pubbie consensus was that all bots were in nullsec

You have it all wrong friend. The bots mains are in null sec. Do try and keep up.

Eve is all about multiboxing.

if you dont multibox your doing it wrong.

if you dont like multiboxing go play wow.

please don't confuse botting and multiboxing.

botting causes damage to market and game multiboxing makes the game and is one of it draws

There really should be some limits on multiboxing.

When you run 50 accounts in one place and call them 1 of x, 2 of x, 3 of x. It just looks bad. Lol

You are entitled to your opinion but I would disagree. I consider EvE Online an MMO-RTS and would be very disappointed if they limited multiboxing.

Just my humble opinion :)

Nah, bots are everywhere, but it looks like high sec bots running Lvl4 missions are all the rage now.

At least, that's what your CEO says.

So yes, bots like botting undisturbed, and High sec Lvl 4 mission hubs are perfect for this.

Or a lot of space among tens of thousands of blues, of course Roll

I was looking at possible aquiing a couple systems for a alt corp, Maybe the old MC constellation as I was told you where holding that for us, or wherever as long as we had at least one system with .9 or better and abc rocks in the belts

Personally it's hilarious, the numbers go all the way to 97, what...

even without multiboxing, ice mining on 40 accounts wouldn't be particularly difficult.

open 1 client, ctrl + click, f1, f2.
repeat 39 times.
Even passively mining, you'd need a BEASTLY box to run 40 clients.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Guy mentioned in the OP was not banned. He's well and on-line playing right now...I will not bother posting his name to have people rushing to the system to have a look because it's not in my best interest.

The other guy mentioned in this thread with screenshot showing 70 or so macks is The Wis. He's the guy Mittani resigned from CSM because of. He's blue to Goonswarm after Mittani granted him immunity from goons after the inccident.

PS: Having 40 accounts is fun. You're welcome
