It's pretty dumb. If I have a dozen high sec jumps to make I'm sitting reading stuff in my browser and not particularly paying attention other than listening for the session change and pressing the jump button.
about the only time i use AP is if i'm shifting clones around in a shuttle freelance space bum |

I think the point is that if a particular gameplay aspect is so uninvolving that players choose to AFK or bot it then the problem is with the game not the players. or it isn't a problem. freelance space bum |

you can do that on the other side of the gate, the things that are worth blowing up tend to be very, very slow at leaving. freelance space bum |

try autopiloting 10 jumps in a dominix navy issue and tell me it's not tedious. freelance space bum |

maybe if you're AFK it's not completely unusable. oh the irony!
for me, if i want to get to an agent 10 jumps away that takes ~20 minutes extra travelling at 130m/s. freelance space bum |

maybe if it played the frikkin blue danube for me that would be worthwhile. otherwise automating tasks slower than i can mnage myself is not what i would call a selling feature. freelance space bum |

Travel is a timesink in EvE. Much like taking the gryphons in other games. Can literally make dinner, and by the time you arrive, be ready to sit down to eat it. But this is a PvP game, so the "danger" and "risk" has to be travel (despite the only risk in it in EvE is when arriving to a gate).
but there isn't any if you warp to 0, that's the whole point.... freelance space bum |

I don't, thanks.
also, it does not take me two minutes to align a battleship. it doesn't take 20 seconds to align a batleship. freelance space bum |

no, i don't imagine I'm safe because my align time to the next gate is relatively short compared to slowboating it to the previous one. I feel safe because I'm in a T2 fit battleship and thus no profit is to be had from ganking it.
And if as you say, players are no safer warping to 0, there seems little reason to the inconsistency of the tool compared to manually jumping. it's just there to enable AFK play. freelance space bum |

Lord Zim wrote:Yes, it is. And AFK play shouldn't be rewarded with being just as efficient as manual flying, hence the 15km distance to travel.
well I don't really see why anyone not at their keyboard would care about travel time.
but it's nice that they nerfed it for everyone else. freelance space bum |

do you enjoy repetitively pressing a button after session changes?
I, myself, do not.

god, the misuse of double quotes wasn't quite maddening enough to get a response but then you bumped this wreck of a thread.
if you can't understand that removing midly tedious micromanagement of a function improves the game then I have a suggestion for you. turn off auto-repeat on your modules.
better still break both your thumbs with a mallet.
eve is now much harsher and more difficult. ergo you should be enjoying yourself more and not trying to dial 111 with your nose.
EDIT: please don't break your thumbs with a mallet. freelance space bum |
