Autopilot is broken -why don't CCP fix it?

-No experienced players use it.
-They only players that do use it are newbies who don't know any better, and specialist haulers.
-What's the point of having a game feature if nobody uses it?
-Adjusting it so you warped to within (say) 5km of gates would make it a useful feature that people would actually use.


The only reason I can see for it being the way it is, is to make 'autopiloters' gankable (essentially: everybody else suffers so a handful of bored, killmail-obsessed, oldtimer trolls can gank folk).


I regularly have to do 'the Jita run' which involves 24+ jumps, having to right click 'Jump' on the gate in the Overview every time is just hassle. Why does it have to be this way?

you know there's a hotkey, right?

bind it to mouse3 or mouse4.

Stop right clicking, use the radial menu. Should lessen your issues.

I've been playing 2 years and I AP all the time. Food, Shower, Family, Door, Phone. Or just plain don't feel like clicking and traveling long distances.

Nothing is wrong with AP. Keep it as it is.

Because CCP wants you to play the game, not click a button and come back in 30 minutes.

I've added you to the list, thanks.

And for serious discussion: any ideas how to make task "move some cheap crap 20 jumps in freighter over high-sec" more interesting and "true-Eve style" game?

Use Red Frog. Nothing is more "true-Eve style" than paying someone else to do your dirty work. Well... except maybe ganking them while they do it.

However my question is wider: i ask not about me but about all players. It means i ask about Reg-Frog pilots too. Because using this service only solves boredom of hauling for me. But some RF pilot will deal with this boredom for my ISK (only if pilots of RF are humans and not bots but this is outside of this discussion)
