While I did take advantage of the MTU, and play solo L4 missions dropping an MTU in each room and going back with my noctis to retrieve it and salvage all ships, at the same time however, i wouldn’t have an issue letting a newbie do the job of the MTU’s and pay them 10% above Jita price for the stuff while i collect it to ultimately reprocess then sell.
While I don’t have a say in the topic as far as abyss goes, i don’t mess with that, When it comes to the MTU, either leave it be, or just get rid of it… i’m sure nullbears would be happy to get rid of it (sarcasm)
effectiveness of this forum is greatly reduced by bunch of angry trolls that are opposed to everything and anything just for the sake of opposition and trolling.
Too much energy and time is consumed by pointlessly arguing with these individuals.
They have little experience in the topic they are discussing but have a negative opinion about everything and pretend to know it all
I completely agree with OP and see a reason for this option. I unknowingly started a similar thread and glad that CCP team has agreed to look into it.
I think any QOL improvement is great for the game.
My first time i quit EVE in 2004 was because to refit ship was taking hours. You had to buy individually each item and then fit it to the ship, there were no tools to refit the ships, no buy all, no multifit, no saved fits, nothing ( not even pyfa )
and if you were loosing ships fast 99% of time you spent in game was flying back and forth between trade hubs refitting ships. ( well there were no trade hubs like today ether )
Quality of life improvements are extremely important to any game as it makes people stay.
PS
especially entertaining that notion that by MTU skipping empty wrecks will impact the economy, can you please STFU for God’s sake, and stop embarrassing yourself.
You say that, but that’s the kind of thinking that introduced the mtu in the first place and the price of salvage plummeted afterwards, greatly reducing the opportunities of the loved profession Noob Salvager.
The kind of thinking that gave the orca mining drone bonuses. Now many players are not using barges at all and are instead using Orcas as solo afk mining ships.
The same applies for people that ask to be able to hire npc body guards or npc haulers. It’s to make their life ‘easier’.
People ask for help/outsource jobs to specialists because they are difficult, time consuming or risky. If all jobs become easy, quick and safe everyone does it all themselves and they won’t interact with other players. And that doesn’t make for an interesting game.
Considering what you want can be achieved by shooting wrecks (a problem in abyss space only), why buff all mtu’s everywhere? Why not just make wrecks in abyss space destructible?
