Please just go away. You think it’s a player issue because you haven’t got a clue what I’m talking about, just like everybody else that think’s I don’t know how to play this game. This issue can’t be outplayed. The rats will always switch and focus the same drone and if you don’t recall it then it dies. If you recall it then they immediately switch to the next one and you have to recall that otherwise it dies. The result is an hour of this process to finish 1 site, and then this will happen in the next site and the site after that, and the site after that. I’ve tested this already a few times. ---

You think it’s a player issue because you haven’t got a clue what I’m talking about, just like everybody else that think’s I don’t know how to play this game. This issue can’t be outplayed. I think all the post I have read are saying it can be worked around and it’s not that big of an issue. Yet your response is normally the same. We just dont have a clue. So if most disagree with you out of the 60+ post, I’m definitely thinking you need to rethink how you play. And rethink how you talk to people on the forums. ---

So why make the thread if you are not interested in others opinions? If you truly are interested in having your thread recognized and changes made you are going about it the wrong way. Try having intelligent debate with the others in the thread, even if you dont like their opinion. Most likely this will just be deleted because you are just being mean, and going no where on the subject. ---

Because the opinions are stupid. The opinions assume I have no idea how the game works and that I don’t know how to use a VNI, rather than accepting the possibility that I might be telling the truth and a legitimate issue does exist, and having an opinion on that. ---

So in return you assume everyone knows nothing? Why, because they disagree with you? I did read your main post and a few after. It was clear and still is you are being very negative. Not sure what you expect to accomplish. I flagged this thread, I suggest others do the same. OP is just rude to put it nicely. ---

> [@Quor\_Dresden](#): > > So in return you assume everyone knows nothing? Why, because they disagree with you? I know they don’t have a clue because of the way they respond to the point I am making. If I started telling you how to do your job, you would immediately know whether I knew how to do the job or not based on my responses. Therefore I do not have to assume anything, I know for a fact. The only person who caught onto what I said in this thread was the one who explained that it was a possible glitch. ---

Lol, fix your boting software. How can you ever complain about aggro in Null anoms. There is no aggro there. I did ratting in VNI for few hours per day for month. Not even single drone down. Can’t even remember they got aggro by all that time. Bots live in null like in actual haven and they still complain… CCP I demand triglavian AI in null anoms. VNI boting issue fixed. No need to ruin good PvP ship just to change nothing. ---

There is aggro but mentioned at start of this nonsense but you should have fixed that by now. If still have problems then you are a problem. Anyway I really enjoy that someone actually have problem boting while ratting. Whatever bug this is, make them appear more often. ---

Instead of googling for solution you came crying on forums bitching on everyone who tried to help. You didnt present screenshots or video, your OP does not really show how experienced you are at the game. You were told that high drone aggro is a normal thing for some sites and rats. Only then you elaborated which sites you were running and continued bitching how we didnt read your mind earlier about what exactly the problem was. Then again you didnt come for solution, you came for compassion and hugs. You came to hear the game is broken, the world is wrong, and you are right, and you are a victim. So everyone suggesting solutions were wrong before they even said anything, right? Tell a boy you have a problem, and he will suggest a solution. Tell a girl you have a problem she will hug you, say she feels for you. 😉 When you’ve coolled down try leave/board ship trick. ---

I can agree with this. The farther away from your ship the more likely they’ll get agro’d. Trick is to keep them close, and use sentry drones for long range attacks, and pull sentries when targets get within 50km (depends on ship). Basically use sentry drones to pull targets, and normal drones to kill close in targets. If you’re using weapon system try to keep target in weapons best attack range. I have a ship that operates in the 5-57km range with weapons and drones, beyond that its sentry drones. Also i didn’t use drone links, instead use drone nav medslot modules, as the faster the drones the less damage they take and the faster they get on a target. But that’s me, speed over range, speed over optimal drone range. And always keep an eye on drones, dock them as soon as you see them getting agro’d.
