CCP’s mission/ratting engagement and isk faucet imbalance as compared to isk sinks. Mission running in this game is so ludicrously boring and formulaic any real person doing it will fall asleep, and bots can do it with ease. And you can just keep doing it with little to no cost, endlessly, 23 hours a day, 7 days a week.
you are wrong. i like CSM. all of them.

CCP stagflation best stagflation
I agree with all of that. Killing NPCs in missions and Anomalies is boring.
But you can’t expect that CCP will fix it with one patch.
You know that PA is EVE Online’s publisher, right?
Nice toxic masculinity.
You fail to consider a third possibility, eh?
Ah well, always nice to get fanmail.

Just use auto targeting missiles if you want to AFK.
It’s what I do.
What were you thinking? What about abyssal sites and guristas npcs?
basically, the only change in your eve play style is to pay more attention and prioritize targets. Even when I rat in drone boats I keep the personal goal of getting through the site as fast as possible. In abyss sites, I don’t let my drones roam free either. Stop being lazy with your drones.

I thought this was the case for the ore rework too.
Veldspar prices and tritanium skyrocketed, and all other high sec ores were left int he shadow, which was pretty bad.
If you look at prices of high sec ores now, they are evening out, and slowly returning to their original prices, with plagio taking the lead again.
The change caused the ore and mineral economy to bleed for a while, but it already healed up for the most part, which was quite fast imo.
Is it completely healed?
Nope.
People are still adapting to low sec mining, but some alliances already did a lot of work into setting up operations there, taking advantage of the new market.
Are the structure changes that will be taking full effect at the start of next year do more damage?
Probably, as might become harder to compress ore and transport it, but smart people will take advantage of the changes again, and will force the market to stabilize once again.
This is the main point of the player run economy.
People overmined veldspar and flooded the market for profit, so now it isn’t as profitable anymore.
Now, people might move away from AFK ratting and missions running, but it will only benefit those who adapted and stuck over for profit.
If neither of those are profitable? Then people will just move to the next thing, like me mining plagio now instead of veldspar. 
Drone assist vs NPC’s works everywhere, not just null sec. It only works vs players in null sec, drone assist vs NPC’s has always worked everywhere.
Bots already target and prioritize targets, this update will change literally nothing for them. And even if it did, bots already “know” when NPCs on the site are dead, what prevents them from hitting F after just one dies?

Really? Can you explain me how the explorer bots works then? they don’t use auto agression stuff I’m sure…

This is decidedly false, and had you read the previous discussion you’d have already realized your mistake.

you only have yourself to blame for horrifically bad fits
What problem are you talking about exactly?
Works fine for the most part. I’m not debating the fit though. Just pointing out that auto-targeting missiles aren’t used for just AFK situations.
why? actively aggressing has always been a better ISK generator then letting them auto aggress anyway, any well written bot won’t care about this change because they’ve already been doing this. This hurts the normal player while bots makers are laughing.
