We were going to replace a lot of them with the usual "go there and get stuff" but we felt we weren't doing anyone any favors.
I think youÆve got a typo there. It seems that you were trying to say, æ but we felt we didnÆt want to do anyone any favors.Æ

Those courier cargo mission level 4, who you can earn huge quantity of money, juste with afk jump, is like afk macro mining. Good to ear that there are removed!
QFT
You obviously have no idea what youÆre talking about. 2M-4M for hours of travel time doesnÆt make a rich man. Most level 4 courier missions paid well under 1M total, it was just the huge load Need a Hand, Multiple Orders, Various Deliveries and to a lesser extent Station Maintenance missions that paid over a million, but with a minimal haul of 40k-50k m3, usually into the 100k m3 + range.
Those who have claimed they got rich off it also usually say theyÆre using a freighter and do a whole bunch simultaneously while also hauling NPC trade goods as a secondary cargo. ThatÆs still a lot of work planning out the logistics of all that, and that was precisely what made it interesting.
AFK means youÆre not there. ThereÆs a difference between actually being AFK and not staring at your screen during endless warps and gate travel.
But thatÆs right, I almost forgot that so many players would rather that Eve be nothing more than a complicated X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter and complain about any player who finds a different facet of the game enjoyable or rewarding.

Do not tell me what is boring, I am quite capable of deciding that myself.
That pretty much sums it all up.
[sarcasm=lightly salted] One last request though, please make every single thing a player can do in this game require at least 2 hours of devoted butt-in-chair screen-staring eye-bleeding boredom (and ownership of a Raven). [/sarcasm] (( In addition to the  I also require that a nod, shrug and single raised eyebrow be added. Thank You. ))
