Courier missions should be removed. They are an annoyance for players, and the only purpose they serve is feeding the macros. Those things are all over, when you kill them, bot grabs another cheap industrial prestocked in station and clunks on. Eve would be better off without courier missions.

Believe it or not, there are players who enjoy this alternate mission type.
And just because bots are abusing the hell out of this game feature doesn't mean it should be removed. The bots will simply move on to other areas of the game and we would be right back where we started.

supported times infinity.
If you like this kind of mission so much, do it in contracts.

Pretty much this. Doing courier missions is quite convenient in some situations and a nice alternative to combat missions for people who can't or don't want to do mining.
You also have to keep in mind how important standings are in this game, and currently missioning is the main and often only realistic way of raising them. This means there needs to be as many ways as possible to do missions. Removing courier missions would only make an already flawed missioning system even worse.

If you don't like courier missions, use an agent that gives very few of them (like Security or Intelligence). When a courier mission shows up, decline it. It's not exactly rocket science, although you might have to run a few couriers when researching it :)

My biggest complaint with courier missions is that they are very obviously used by bots. Wander low sec long enough and you'll come across a hive of bots running a courier agent.
I don't think courier missions should be removed. They definitely need to be revamped.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

It's a bad suggestion to decline courier missions just because you don't like them.
There are already too many occasions that I have to deny missions just because they want me to kill minmatar or gallente...

While raising standings for non-combat alts, courier missions are quite welcome. While my main is busily blasting through combat missions the alt can AFK AP the courier mission. Very low reward, but there is no risk or interaction required.
Yes, it is easy to bot. How would you modify courier missions in order to make them less mechanical? Ideas that occur to me after a few seconds of superficial thought include having the agent redirect the shipment mid-mission, require the player to carry contraband, have a delivery that must be made inside a particular window of time (no sooner than X, no later than Y), or multiple items, only a small number of which need to be dropped off at a number of stations along the route.
IMHO, removing courier missions altogether will hurt more players than botters.

They could make it a mission type where you move goods through deadspace areas trying to avoid npcs and sensor grids... Which would be dynamic so it would be harder to bot them.

If you want to run combat missions in a Mammoth, go ahead and do so :P
I would prefer courier missions staying like they are now.bThe macros that get blown up by suicide bankers will be losing standings for failing missions - it all adds up eventually.

Bots already have perfect standings from running 23/7. You'll lose sec faster than they lose standings.

Yes, lets behave like headless chicken and kill a completely decent type of mission just to satisfy our craving for security against what we perceive as a threat. Now where did I hear something like that in RL again... |

I always hated that Center for Advanced Studies only had advisory agents, and even more when my level 3 agent gave me 6 courier missions into lowsec in a row. Courier missions have some flaws that I'm not entirely sure how to work out. But that's not a good justification for removing them.
Not supported.
As it stands, the best way to make money and/or raise standings via courier missioning is to get a good storyline agent so that the quick courier missioning pace keeps the storyline missions rolling. The best way to thwart macro miners then is to keep courier missions short and low-pay, and make sure storyline missions are complex enough that macros can't complete them.
