EvE Mag recently published an “anonymous” letter from an alleged eve player who has developed and uses a Macro to mine.
As all good eve players know, this is against the EULA and will get you banned. RPGN.net do NOT condone this activity, but it’s an interesting article and I’m going to re-post it here.
You can also read the original at EvE Mag here.

Not only am I LIKE the Cheshire cat, I’m also just like you! ~The Evil Macro’er
Please let me introduce myself. I am an American, in my early thirties and I have two kids, two cats, and a neurotic dog with a Quaker Parrot buddy. I’ve played some MMOs for 4 years at a time. I like Front Lines: Fuel of War and ketchup goes on just about everything but a good steak. I am a degreed professional but not a programmer, I served in the military and I knew Obama would be the winner. I am also an amateur macro’er. Yes, I have macro’ed the holy crap out of certain video games. I’ve been doing it for more than 8 years now so tell me; at what point did you notice your Eve gaming experience going down the tubes because of me? I’ll bet your downward spiral really has nothing to do with me macro’ing, now does it?
