Quote:This would most likely lead to more interceptable and gankable targets at every gate, resulting in CONTENT and EMERGENT GAMEPLAY. Highly unlikely. It doesn't make AP any more or less dangerous so the same people would still be doing it to the same extent.

People don't hate those who use autopilot, they hate those who lose because of it and then complain about losing their ship for being AFK or fapping or what ever you do while being on auto pilot. |

New ganker may have realized only after the fact how lame an AP shuttle killmail makes him.

I love players who autopilot their ships.
Especially if they have killrights.

I don't often autopilot, but when I do it's a double brick tanked 'come at me bro' ship with an empty hold.
I accept that occasionally someone might hit my windshield like a bug on the freeway trying to gank me. It's tough, but I manage to sleep at night  |

Autopiloting is just... bad. I welcome you to autopilot everywhere though, it makes you easier to blow up. |

Really explain how its bad? Yes I might get ganked but really if you lose more than me and I lose closer to nothing, and then reply I am the one who is bad? Due explain, Because I'm just going to hop in another shuttle and continue on like nothing happened. That's why people like you confuse me because eve usually has smarter players than your average MMORPG. |

If they only got your shuttle the ganker failed, a good ganker will take out shuttle and pod solo.
Usually that means your implants gone - so for a cheap throwaway destroyer they get a killmail with a set of +4's quite often, some +5's and hardwirings regularly too.
If you don't have implants then sure you lose nothing (unless your character has a lot of SP's so expensive clones).
For some it's a even a kind of sport to see who can get the best pod killmail of the day. |

This is perfectly reasonable, However were does it come from that auto piloting makes you bad now? I do not understand that if you guys are killing for sport why try to ruin it? |

I dont hate anyone, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to blow you up if you are acting foolish.

Autopiloting is often done by the AFK, if you're AFK you're not playing the game. Would you go AFK in any other PvP game and then whine when someone kills you?
Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into the brain, where they ferment. They then migrate to your keyboard via your fingers. That's where shiptoasts come from.

AP doesn't make a player bad at all, I was just pointing out the reasoning behind why (for some) it's a bad idea to use it and why gankers go for shuttles and pods often.
If a high skillpoint player goes on AP shutling around with a set of +5's or full crystal / slave set for example then they shouldn't expect to arrive at the destination with those implants / clone still intact every time. (and there's a lot who will do exactly that, then complain about ganking when they decided to take the risk of using AP).
As for the OP and why people hate others who use AP - most players (gankers included) have no problem with it at all, it's a valid game mechanic. My guess is you got that reaction because a ganker failed to get your pod and was trying to salvage some pride to a wounded ego or something.
