But people forget to hit the scan button all the time. Even with a probe out, after a while you scan only every 30 seconds, or every minute, or even less often.
Now you get a new sig popping up on your list without doing anything. That is hard to miss. People who are at least looking at their screen every few seconds will be aware of the new signature before the intruder has even had a chance to jump into the system.
We'll see how it plays out and how it balances itself out with the other changes, but viewing it isolated, there is no doubt imho that it's a significant nerf to the hunters.

Although if we could somehow identify people using such a bot, I'd be willing to log out in their system... 
Anyway I don't think botting is viable in w-space combat sites, only for mining. I've never seen someone in w-space who acted like it was a bot.

If hitting scan and watching a timer was boring before. Looking at an empty list in case something new MIGHT pop up will be death. Im not too worried about this.
Not at all. Noticing something pop up on your screen is super-easy. It's like getting an alarm ring from your phone compared to having to remember on your own that you have an appointment. Forgetting the appointment is easy when you are distracted by something else, but you can hardly miss the ringing phone.

The fundamental difference between a farmer corp and a pvp corp is that farmers close their static to farm, while pvp corps farm with open connections so that players not interested in farming can use the chain to find pvp. I'd never join a corp that cages me in the home system just because some people want to make ISK :p
