Maybe an idea to make it harder for macro miners in EvE. Is to add a small mini game when your mining.
Example: When you put your lasers on some roids youll get a small mini game where you will be asked to do something in it. Like clicking some things. Then if you do it perfectly you'll gain extra ore but when your an macro miner and cant see the right combination you'll have a very high chance you will fail. Fail so much that the macro miner wont even recieve any ore.
Just an idea.

However, a sure sign that the person is a macro hauler is that they have auto-reject on. They turn on auto-reject so the pop-up window doesn't block the macro OCR monitoring of the overview for rats and OCR monitoring of the full bar of the cargohold.
The easiest and first method to stop macro miners should be a window that pop ups at the end of each laser cycle in a random location on the screen asking 'click to continue' and until clicked all input is blocked. That way the macro couldn't auto warp out or deploy drones when rats come in.
You like being bothered by idiots and only mine in high sec I suppose?
"a sure sign that the person is a macro hauler is that they have auto-reject on" Plenty of players have auto reject on.
"a window that pop ups"..."until clicked all input is blocked" Get that at the wrong moment in low sec/0.0 and you are dead. Try thinking before giving this kind of suggestions.

Oh gods, another one with this stupid idea. No, I don't want to play mini games when mining, I don't want to add N tedious clicks to mining. Mining is already so-so and adding this kind of things will make it worse.
And again playing "miningames" in low sec/0.0 while mining is a sure way to get killed.

Originally by: Will Nazca I read on the forums a while back that one idea was to make some roids 'dummy' roids, where only visual inspection would confirm that you're on the motherload.
So, instead of just mining the asteroid, I first have to survey it and make spectral analysis and what not?
Or, I just start mining, stop, and check what I got?
Surely no macro writer would EVER think of something like that? Surely they couldn't compare names, like "Dense Veldspar" and "Dummy Veldspar"? Perhaps you want to make it so they have to click "show info" first?
Face it, almost everything a human can do, a macro can. Only it doesn't get bored and won't mind repetition. Perhaps audio-captcha tests might work - for a while. But it'll also severly limit legit players.
The solution is dead simple. Every time you lock onto a new roid, a window pops up:
Describe in single words, only the good things that come in to your mind about... your mother.

even simpler solution.
switch cans... make them mine for you.
I did it twice (also a group of 4-5 macks and an iteron), they stopped mining after a while and moved to another system hehe.
but it works.
so if you can't count on CCP to do something against them, do it yourself

simple, asteroid scanners are not use... not all ore is the same quality
in fact belts locations need to be random, they need to be scanned down, every asteroid has a percentage of ore in it.
there should be some rich asteroids and hollow ones with literally 2-3% minerals.
asteroid scanner will help to determine which roids are fat and which ones are dummies.
introduce empty roids, it will help macro mining a bit
