And what about those people who actually put in time creating out of game tools / spreadsheets to do this.

Effectively you want to simplify your production without putting the effort in.

Ask any seasoned industrialist and they will talk about spreadsheets... or Fuzzworks or some other site.

Eve isn't supposed to be easy... you're supposed to think about things.

Go download the EVE data dump, perform recursive queries and output it how you like, adding in your math.
The more tools CCP provides takes EVE away from being a open sandbox.

In Industry remember that
Effort = Reward

in all honesty I doubt it will raise the bar in fact it will lower it.

The game has already been dumbed down a fair bit already with regards to the skill changes to make things a lot easier for new players yet people still want that to be lowered more. I'd say that's pretty true for incursion runners these days as of since the last skill change and more people being able to get T2 weapons faster thinking that's all they need and yet they're still missing core gunnery skills.

The thing with industry work is that you need specialised characters and have a keen business like mind to be able to build the things you want to sell to make a profit and when you rely on applications that pull data from the game it will not give you an accurate reading on how much profit you truly make or if you are making a loss as it does not always have the correct prices when looking at purchasing the minerals and components.

This is why spreadsheets are pretty much a requirement if you want to build for profit. Some of us put a lot of time and effort into updating and maintaining spreadsheets to know which item to build at the time that will sell at a nice rate for a pretty decent income.

The idea to put something similar into the game so that players that don't want to make their own spreadsheets or test out those applications that are already out there will just increase the amount of lazy players in the game who want to be gifted everything instead of putting time and effort into working for something themselves. does that to you look like its raising the bar?

another aspect would be that it would also introduce more 0.01 isk'rs to the market as well but on the upside it would also introduce more bpo buyers so those that research the bpos will enjoy taking the isk from them players.
