Can you run 12 ships at once? And would you have the entire fleet leave the system just because a lone miner showed up and lingered for a couple minutes?



you would be supprised how many miners own a rediculus number of accounts and run them all at the same time.

No one has yet speculated on the second point : why did they all depart so suddenly?

Hate to tell you this but there are people playing eve right now running 20 odd mining accounts doing ice with no bot help whatsoever. What you saw probably was a bot, but it could have been one of these individuals, or 2 of them working together ( i know of a two brother team who run 25 accounts mining from 3 machines). Ore requires more work so the number of accounts manageable is less but its still pretty simple.

Leon,

If you would be a multiboxer, running 20 mining ships, and you see a combat ship turn up in your belt, lingering for a while, you'd be thinking (most likely) that this is someone checking you out, and checking what the optimal location would be to gank you to oblivion (and back again).

I would personally be thinking this, after which I would simply warp out, and wait untill you leave local.
As this is EvE, suicide ganking is a practice a lot of pilots have gotten into, and it's just not worth the risk as a miner to just keep mining the same belt.

I'm not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.

Anyone not replying in local is a bot and should be killed.

Your right, some of the better bots do reply in local but it's usually nonsense so it's easy to spot and they should be killed too.

Unclear why telling the thread or me this is something you hate to do. This is an info-seeking thread, not a whine or complain thread. Even if it were bots, if the vets don't give a rip then I probably won't either.

I think the bumping mining ships is an excellent idea . . . a bot wouldn't respond to that. The community could even have a systematic search and response to the botters using techniques that include this.

I was in a proc. I agree with your analysis if I had been in a combat ship, but in this case I presented as a regular miner which, as it turns out, I am.

Incidently Hjortur seems to be a prime location for this activity. It is a Mega-Belt system (many belts) but they are nearly always cleaned out or depleted very early in the Eve-Day.

Leon,

There's already someone RP'ing his way through Miner Bumping.
I present you the following link.

Don't know if James315 is still active though, haven't been on much in the past weeks.

I'm not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.

their some people who run 24 mining ships at once, altho being in a null alliance null mining is more porfatable then highsec ores. and a hell of alot safer too.

Using the word 'Gold Farming' in an EvE forum makes me wanna troll you so bad you wont post right for a week.

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

It's called Isboxer....it's all the rage for the serious isk grinder.....What?

If they talked to you, they probably are not gold farmers. Most people who sell isk use bots.

Please do not confuse multiboxing with botting, or in this case "Gold Farming". Thanks.

This may have been answered:

It was a guy multi-boxing with a bot. CCP will allow bots that replicate a USER COMMAND across multiple clients. It will not allow a bot that replicates a programmed command.

IE

If the bot requires constant user interaction and just mimics the user, its ok.
If the bot is capable of running the clients with no user interaction.. its not ok.

FC, what do?
