Nice article. Paints a full picture. Although, I wish the author had contacted me while doing his fact-finding.

I didn't neglect to leave the stargate out when I cropped the image. Anyone could use a locator agent. If I really cared about concealing The Wis' identity or location, i would've cropped everything but the Macks.

It was my intention to produce it as intel, a means of public discussion, and--for the few--as the incentive to action. For the sake of discussion, I have not advocated my feelings on the matter.

However, the type of intel I gave is pretty indicative about my intentions--and thus my feelings on the matter. Nothing is free of bias.

And yet, The Wis was more than capable of seeing this public discussion and readjusting his play-style based on the recent attention he was getting. The fact that he did not means he doesn't place great value on public intel--to his detriment.

Now that the value is 15B, perhaps he will reconsider that. Perhaps not.

But it was not human stupidity that led to where we now stand.

I don't think that article was referring to you when it came to stupidity. I had that exact thought: "If this person was trying to protect the Macks, he would have censored the names of the characters."

Where's the New Order when you need them? Instead of ganking solo miners The New Order should be focusing on these multiboxers who kinda ruin the fun for anyone else. I'd support that more than I do their current approach.

No. I just noticed the angry tears you were shedding as everyone else were celebrating — you know, the usual abuse you heap over people having fun — which is pretty normal for you.


Not empty quoting at all. Thanks.

At ~$1455 a month to run 97 accounts, I highly doubt this person has no life. First of all, there's no indication that this person is spending vast quantities of time running them. In fact, it's quite obvious that they want to spend as little time mining as possible, hence 97 accounts.


They are mining Ice. You don't get a discount on PLEX for having multiple accounts so its quite obvious that they are spending vast quantities of time compared to almost any other profession in Eve. 62 billion a month. For the 70 hours they are spending paying for the PLEX I could run missions and buy 2 dreadnaughts and a PLEX.

Pretty sure the breakeven point is the same for each miner you add.

It actually falls if you consider the plex for the booster(s) and hauler.

The only ''problem'' i see in this is that he could do the same with only a handfull of trader characters.


People like him who use a crapload of chars - usually miners with 10+ accounts - to accomplish a good iskflow is not a wrong choice ....it is however in my mind a choice for those too lazy or dumb to use a bit more of their brain to gain the same endresult.




Who says he DOESN'T have a Trader alt or fifty?

And if he's already got a max skilled miner pilot, he can use the skill queue to grow 97 pilots for resale.

Actually, by your words that would be 97 users each activating 97 of these things.

Now do you see the problem ????

and in regards to the article--how was any of this stupid? The fact that Wis had 50 macs mining? The fact that he lost those ships that he undoubtedly can replace 20x over? The mere fact that he got ganked? The Fact that he has a 15:1 loss ratio on these miner's killboards? Oooh, that's scary for him. It's a shame that he probably doesn't have a PVP fleet that is made up of entirely separate characters.

Wis does what he enjoys, the gankers did what they enjoyed. So now Wis has a setback of a half hour to refit the ships, and then he's back out there, mining his happy little ass off. Hell, we get fireworks and schadenfreude, so even WE win. And we weren't even there!

97 accounts is quite outrageous....

96 is far more acceptable....
