Everything is a waste of time in some way or the other, if you just argument it the right way.
How about seeking a more efficient way of dropping and positioning them ?

Of course I expect many replies saying it "dumbs down" probing or makes it too easy.
The problem with this is, that "making things faster/easier" has no end.
It's an ever ongoing process making people accustomed to things getting easier,
which leads to people not having to actually work for something,
but just asking others to do it for them.
It's the lack of challenge people get used to ... and suddenly they don't want challenge at all.
Things like this ... probing formations ... are just a minor part of the overall picture of people not wanting to do something,
with the argument that it's a waste of time.
EVERYTHING is a waste of time. There is NOTHING that's not a waste of time,
you just need the right arguments.
edit: Your post was a waste of time. My post was a waste of time. Still the OP posted it, instead of doing something
more fruitfull or productive. See what i mean ? He INTENTIONALLY wasted his time, although he didn't perceive it as such. That's actually a really stupid thing to do and yet he did it.
More and more people cry about things being a "waste of time" and
what's hidden behind their argument is that it's "effort".
"Effort" is a waste of time, thus please give me a way to deal with this faster/easier.

No, he's not.
He' asking for "effort" to be removed, not for making something more user-friendly.
There are hundreds of things that could be hidden behind the "user-friendly"-argument,
but again ... it's only about removing "effort".
And the arguments already keep coming ...

In my opinion there are things that need brain and skill and whatever and then there are things that are just monotone and dumb things that are annoying and waste your time. Putting probes into formation has nothing to to with creativity or being "better" than others. It's just annoying.
So it doesn't make it easier to find sites or ships. It just takes out a boring part of launching probes. If you fear that it makes probing too fast then add a timer and say the formation takes 5 or 10 seconds to finish.
There are several ways to drop your probes and there are ways to do it faster or slower.
You're just doing it in a non-efficient way.

Ah ... so now it's not a "waste of time" anymore, but actually "effort".
Thanks for proving my point.
It's not about the time, it's about the effort ... as you just stated.
What i really hate about people is when they just drop random arguments that fit,
just so they get what they want.
Too bad people will not see behind this and actually still respond to you ...
