How much longer are you going to let one stupid, irritating and very costly bug go on?! I've seen a lot of players complain about losing their rental on a research slot that was in use and now it's finally happened to me. I did have a blueprint in it but because I couldn't remember exactly how the bug works (hah) I have now lost the slot. I gave away two other slots I found to players that needed them when I found them for free and this is my reward.
FIX THE DAMN THING ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I'd love to believe that Exodus and PoS lab slots would alleviate problems with lab slot shortage I don't believe that the people who have 5 or more lab slots will care or think of giving up their slots. They have the lab slots, they can use them with their million alts and they don't care. The only people that can fix this are at CCP, they seem unwilling to listen to the players and ignore the constant stream of players who lose their slots. Nice way to treat the people who pay your wages :) Come on how hard can it be? A few lines of code? I don't know CCP, you guys do so come on fix the damn thing before people start to quit over it.
Players like David Goodwil have a REALLY good point too. When you start playing and pick a career I don't recall it saying anywhere "If you pick science as a career good luck finding a lab slot" so you are forced to mine, PvP, do agent missions..... which might be fun but not if you want to pursue a science orientated career.
CCP, how about even a 'temporary' fix? Forget fixing the bug, although you seem to have done that part already, change the time period between getting the notice of the slot being inactive and you losing it. For example, you don't lose the slot due to inactivity instantly but get 24 hours notice that you will lose it due to not being used (even though it is in use....). If the unrenting bug is such a hard one to track down (must be for it to exist for this long) then surely making this change would be a lot easier and would save so many problems. You'd also be guaranteeing that people play once a day .. perhaps... maybe... kinda... even if just to check if the lab slot they spent weeks / months finding is going to unrent itself.
Or alternatively....... FIX THE DAMN BUG AND MAKE THIS CHANGE! Asking nicely doesn't seem to get things fixed so I make no apologies for the tone of this message CCP.
