But tell that to the instant gratification shitkids who just want Eve to become an FPS Arena.

serious question (no troll): i have never heard about bots able to scan relic/data sites and hack cans… or was it just a figurative sense about some real players whoses main objective is to earn isks?

Cant for sure verify botting for relic/data sites, but i wouldnt be surprised. AI is really going places these days.
As for human “bot” behavior, anyone can farm the ■■■■ out of exploration if he wants to with several alts, so same applies.

This cant be emphasized enough. There is competition for sites. Now players are going to race to systems when the sites spawn and its going to be the new and causal players that suffer.

Think about how much time is wasted warping around. Hopefully CCP won’t stop at just making exploration so much better - what eve needs is fast travel
With the ability to instantly travel anywhere in new eden, more fights will happen because more players will be able to get to the same places faster! Newer players will especially benefit! It shall be magnificent!
If you think such a wonderful change might not be a great idea, you are just a hidebound bitter deadweight loving the whinge bandwagon who obviously hates any change.

Exactly! And whoever doesn’t like it, just shouldn’t use it.

Yours is lacking batteries it seems.
Naah, I just went a little further on the sarcasm. 
(I’ve seen people using the same argumentation that ‘if the agency gives too much info, just don’t use it’… As if that would make such a change any better.)

Indeed, why are you?
So in a few months it’ll be bargests farming highsec exploration sites like they do everything else. ho hum.
I’m sure CCP will make it up to us. With NEW™ exploration content - that’ll require a gang to do.
The multiboxers will love it.
I feel like telling some people to go F themselves right now. 
Wonder where that urge is coming from?
I have been a scanner since I started out in 2013. I still do it on a regular basis. Not because I earn the most per hour with it, but because I enjoy exploring stuff. When I played this game for 2 weeks I was allready in WH’s scanning stuff down, feeling excited what would lie in the next system. Later on I started daytripping NS. Now I live in NS and exploring still. Still excited what will be in the next system. What will I find? I never know.
Now I can see what systems have combat sigs and how many sigs there are per system. I feel that is a bad move. It takes away from the exploring side of scanning. The excitement of coming into a system with 5 signatures. Then finding out there are 4 relic sites… 4…
Also it takes away from the disappointment the next system has 3 cambat sigs in it. Without downs you cannot have ups.
Please CCP, fix this ASAP. Scanning in my opinion is about never knowing what lies ahead of you. Like a present waiting for you to be opened.

But, CCP (ie PA) seems to think streamlining their content all on the same level will save their game …
Well, it didn’t turn out all that bad after all. Mainly because its completely unreliable.
So, I started todays session. Opened this ‘exploration’ window, found a system along my usual roaming track to set initial waypoint, there was 5 signatures in Agency window there. Perfect. So I went there. Found a 4/10, got some nice loot and left the system happy. Nothing changed though, Agency window was still showing 5 signatures in the system I just left. So I came back in case it have just respawned back. But it hasn’t. There were 2 sigs in the system by that time, and 5 sigs still showing in Agency.
I didn’t report this bug. I don’t really want them to fix this one )))
Hey, @CCP_Falcon, @CCP_Ghost gave such a powerful talk at EVEsterdam. He was talking how he was analyzing players behavior from psychological perspective. Looking for their innermost motivations.
I have been listening to Jordan Petersons lectures for past 2 years, and you know, he mentioned in one of his lectures this experiment where some scientists removed 99% of this cats brain except for hypothalamus I believe, its one of the innermost nervous centers which controls ‘body temperature, hunger, important aspects of parenting and attachment behaviors, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms’ according to Wikipedia. And you know what aspect of behavior essentially a brainless cat still has? Curiosity.
Is this change @CCP_Wanderboy’s doing? Is it Teams decision? Is it higher-ups command?
I don’t see it benefitting newbros at all as he claims it should.
I got lucky in todays session, this 4/10 kept respawning nearby, I ran 3 of them in 20 minutes window, not much loot, but still. If Agency window will work as it was supposed to I’ll farm ship out of those sites, and no newbro will stand a chance to compete. I’ll hoard billions because it is what I like to do, and then I’ll ‘win EVE’, because what is the point of it? Exploration is gone. Challenge is gone. Achievement is gone. Its turning into race to the site and farming.
Can CCP_Ghost be summoned to express his opinion on this change? I trust his opinion after aforementioned talk.

They should know what is “Malcani’s law” by now, but it is CCP, everything they do to help newbros always ends quite the opposite. Someone who designed signature part obviously don’t play the game, by the time player will get to the distant system, sites may already be cleared out, how this suppose to help new players? Pissing on vets, and making newbros confused. Great job,and whole this is under pve dev management…

I did some experimenting with this the other day and the only way I could get the cosmic sigs to refresh in the agency window is to completely relog.
Assuming that is correct and the cosmic sigs in the agency only update on login, this is the best possible outcome for this feature IMHO. On the one hand, CCP’s “target audience” for this feature, i.e. players that log in for 30ish minutes max then log out, will find this extremely useful. On the other hand, 23/7 bots and intel characters will find this completely worthless because the data is up to 23 hours old.
