This skill will only enable AFKing even more. Not empty quoting. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

There are plenty of people who enjoy part time gameplay mechanics of EVE; it's part of what draws them to the game. Why chuck a sad if people aren't interested in wasting their time micro managing boring tasks. Because that "timesink" is one of the causes for price differences between the different trade hubs. It also restricts "power projection" and helps encourage people to become "self sufficient" in their own little corner of space rather than rely on "one stop shop for everything" and move it to ones' area of operations.
Granted, logistical hassle also discourages that last thing too... but those that are willing to overcome such tedium usually make off with big profits and find greater security (both in terms of income and in terms of ship safety).
My personal opinion is that hauling stuff over large distances should be made harder, not easier. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

And for the love of god, don't put "quotes" around things that aren't quotes. I'll admit... it's not hard right now... just tedious. Case and point; why go 15 jumps to get something when it is available at your current location at mere 10 to 15% mark up? Because that distance you have to travel will take time (and "fun") out of your "game."
Also, I put quotes around concepts and terms that I recognize as subject to debate. Call it "creative license" or somesuch. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |
