Anything that effectively removes human decision making and repercussions from the game is bad imho.
I am not opposed to toggles, but I am concerned by automated insulation from consequences. That's a very bad precedent to set going forward. |

Not even condoms have a 100% success rate.  |

Abstinence has a substantially higher success rate.
In a game where the objective is to **** as many people as possible before succumbing to the inevitable Bvitter.Zzz infection, I'd say abstinence has it's place for sure - in the kitchen fixing my steak. |

If this were a config option, sure. I'd still be worried. Making it a big feature of the HUD tho? That's really, really worrying. It betrays the concern CCP has about the new aggression mechanics, which in turn implies they aren't confident that they won't lose customers to their own ignorance en masse.
Which in itself implies that CCP will pro-actively implement game design changes that effect everyone solely to insulate the minority from hurting themselves. Which is the first step to the end of Eve as a contact sport.
This green dot, by virtue of its prominence, looks and smells like Health & Safety for EvE. Really, do not want anything built in that automates decision making processes because its a slippery, slippery slope toward more 'bank mechanics' and away from Harsh Eve(tm). |
