Mining Bots = Game Killer

What is a game killer is how rude people in this game are these days. Want to mind my own business and people spam are you "bot are you bot?" Seriously find an interactive question.

Did you stand still when a green dot popped up on your radar?

Personally if you want to see a reaction from a miner if he's human or not start dropping in front them on their path see if they change direction. Most will instantly respond if human operated.

If they stand still equally suspicious that requires more research. Never seen the point directly contracting people.
 
I was mining on twitch at the time. If you want to come chat some time you can watch me mine on stream. Anyone I'll just keep blocking people as I find them in game.

Hi everyone and Mindark,I’ve recorded a couple of videos showing a mining bot operating with a UL level 7 amp on Arkadia. In one video, I interrupted the bot while it was still dropping probes non-stop, and in another, the program was bugged and running in circles. While there are many bots in the game, one (rank 5) and another (rank 12) are confirmed top miners who are severely impacting the game’s economy. The problem is that when a bot mines continuously with a UL level 7 amp, it consumes a huge amount of Ignisium ore, one of the few ores with decent markup (MU) right now. This oversupply crashes the ore’s price due to low demand, causing other miners to shift to less profitable resources. This shift lowers the MU for those ores and enmats, leading to reduced loot values for hunters and diminished demand for crafted items. Essentially, the entire economy suffers as a result.

XXXX alone cycles approximately 20-30k PED daily, which contributes to around 10% of the game's nanocube sales. This not only affects the price of nanocubes but also the minimum prices for everything else—loots, oils, ores, etc. With numerous bots causing similar disruptions, the overall economic impact is severe.If we can eliminate mining bots, we could restore a more stable and profitable economy. Hunters who mine would then have access to better MU ores, reducing competition for selling loot and boosting demand for crafted products. This would attract more players and enhance the game’s overall experience.

I’ve contacted MA about this issue, and while they’ve acknowledged my report, it’s only been two days since their response, so there’s no resolution yet. My suggestion for addressing mining bots is as follows:
First offense: 1-week suspension
Second offense: 6-month suspension
Third offense: Lifetime ban with the removal of all market value from items involved

Suspensions should be applied without prior warning to prevent offenders from immediately transferring equipment like the UL level 7 amp to alternate avatars. Tackling this issue effectively could revitalize the economy and improve player engagement.Let’s work together to encourage MA to enforce these rules and combat botting. Please support this cause by submitting support tickets, sharing videos of bot activity, and taking steps to mitigate their impact.Let’s make Make Entropia Universe Great Again (MEUGA)!

Time to shine a light on this BS

EDIT thanks to malaki for proper english and for the snake pill haha

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your insights about the mining bots in the game. It’s frustrating to see how they can impact the economy so negatively. I agree that addressing this issue is crucial for maintaining a balanced and enjoyable gaming experience. Your suggestions for penalties seem reasonable, and it would be great to see some action taken against those bots. Let's hope the developers take this seriously and work towards a solution!
