Having been spending my time "greeting" the new locals in Blackrise, I've noticed an extreme rise of macro haulers in the pipe, all from UC and all 1.5 months old shuttling in Itty 4's.
Seeing as CCP is practically useless at catching these guys, some anti-macro people should pay a visit and start murdering the haulers, I'm at 10 already.
Also, discuss how useless CCP is at catching macros. |

I have to agree, I rarely visit highsec but still I see them every time I go on a solo trip in my taranis' to the dephts of 0.0. I reports them, add some of them on my buddy list on my alt so I can do the logon-trick on them (only works when they are really young, because of the dps of a taranis and they seem to favor the raven).
However, I reported a clearly macro-ratter a couple a weeks ago, and the game-master said that he/she would look into it. Nothing has happened.. I still see him log off and on every time theres a threat in local.. (I'm 99.99999% sure)
My guess is that this things takes time, they have to check that it is in fact really an macro. Sit back and let the game masters deal with it (even though it seems forever).
I'm going to report the same macros over and over, if they don't ban them within a month. I suggest you do the same |

well if nothing happened(not instabanning one player) doesn't mean nothing is going on, sometimes it's why go for a single character when you can get more names, investigate and 2 months later ban a whole ring or macroer... |

They aren't macros, just farmers/RMT'ers. |

We noticed these before FW. We went out pirating to get some experience and prepare for FW and I had to keep telling my guys that the haulers would just drop mission crap and weren't worth the sec hit. |

You are not very well informed. It has already been documented that they chinese pick hauling missions because they are easily macro'd. 1 person controls many haulers and many characters at once via macros and/or botting. |

If you wanna kill macro'ers get yourselves to jovainnon.
That place is full them in bessies. Kill and pod one and he'll be back in the same place in another bessie within 5 minutes.
Though they do seem to have a corp trying to protect them in the next system.. The Dead Parrot Shoppe Inc.
Start killing the macro'ers and its not long till these guys try to drop a fleet on you. |

they r macro haulers...they were there before the patch...ever since they removed the connection manjonakko<->aldranette gate the now have to detour thrue black rise...thats why u see em there...and at this time it is impossible to pop em all with all those blobs passing thru...
its fun to pop em but after popping 200 of em its getting a bit boring...
the route they use...esesier<-> vlill and manjonakko<->unknown...
fit a drake and go pop em its easy u can one volley them but be carefull and take a few scouts with u :) |

I heard they are un-killable because they don't fit MWD's to their Megas.
Is this true? |

You'd kill them much faster if you fitted a MWD to your Mega.

i keeps saying that ccp needs to put all found macro-gold farmers-rmters into the factional warfare corps and make it permanent so they cant leave. Characters soon become useless, perhaps make it the characters cant be transferred either for isk ( will screw em right up) |
