This. Or more accurately: “I’m just farming ISK for some reason and CCP have succeeded in their stated objective of reducing that.”
The idea that NPCs actively attack the things that are hurting them isn’t unreasonable - they attack a gunship or a missile ship that is firing on them, they use weapon and sensor disruption to degrade the attacker’s capabilities as well as direct fire. The anomaly was that they didn’t try to defeat drones, and that has been resolved (in part) by more aggressive NPC behaviour against drones.
Drones shouldn’t be a “magic kill feature” where they are blindly ignored by the target.
