I think they made it clear what the problem they wanted to address was and how this will address it.
No one has yet made a coherent counter point about why this change is bad because the only reason that is actually 100% genuine is because their low-effort isk-making will be impacted if they dont pay attention.
There’s nothing to “work around”, the capabilities of drones to be MORE effective with manual direction has always been there.
again its not about the nerf forget it. its about how they go about fixing it its the lazy way out
If you say so, but to rewrite the NPC system to make afk play impossible seems more like rewiring your house to change a lightbulb by comparison to me.
And this so-called nerf kinda is the topic, so I cant post in this thread and forget about it.
when that house / wiring is 17 years old it might be a good idea 
just sayen
Hey I hear ya on that, and for what its worth I do more agree about npc overhauls, though if Triglav is the alternative… Well thats a different conversation but one Im sure we would have common ground on.
If they are not removing AFK cloakcamping then their problem isn´t with AFK wealth generation, but simply wealth generation. They could just have raised rat HP by double, or cut the bounties by 50% and let the AFKtards running their droneboats ( and their bombers ).
But if AFK gameplay is the target, they will soon nerf cloakcamping too.
im sorry but what dose cloakcamping have to do with this?
if thats the case can i request gate camping be removed too
and yes i do think that the triglav was ment to be the “alternative” but sadly there is really no trig content to do
AFK gameplay. Getting something in game ( ISK, loot, Screwing the enemy, Lowering ADMs, Reducing a targeted group level of income ) while being most of the time AFK and paying just the minimum attention to get the fruits of your AFK time spent
A gatecamp is not AFK.
so… i don’t really get where your going with this but how would they nerf cloakcamping? Make cloaks more visible?
And if its the same sort of fix that drones are getting in this topic, then its not going to affect how cloaking in enemy territory works, and I will offer that you may still not find it an acceptable solution?
or make it where you decloak every 5 mins?
could also work with a “Broadcast Target” command type but for drones
The problem with running abyssals in sov null / WHs is supply of the filaments in addition to the gank risk. That is why most null sec residents have high sec alts to run them.
T4 / burner missions my point is more the variety of content on offer is greater in other areas of space. You also get incursions in sov null, but there are drawbacks to running them. If you want to reliably run them you go to high.
If null had anoms which were a bit more like abyssal pockets or the recent event sites then it would make perfect sense to nerf drone aggression.
Lets not go down the “you know nothing” / “i know more than you” path of childish pedantry shall we.
It bugs me every time. Any attempts to do something AFK in HS considered as crime against humanity by most players, but in same time NS ppl somehow believe they are entitled to 23/7 zero risk AFK farm, and any CCP attempt to limit it is an infringement of human rights. 
ССР вы совсем отупели что ли? Вы хотите полностью закрыть проект ЕвЕ? Так скажите прямо - игроки вы нас зае***ли мы закрываемся. Что вы творите с игрой?
CCP you are completely stupid or what? Do you want to completely close the EVE project? So tell me bluntly - players are you fuc*** us and we’re shutting down. What are you doing with the game?
Guess what?
I believe there’s issues with the ESS mechanics, mostly related to the agency window showing all available ESS, and even causing lag when that window is opened.
Know what I have done?
Gave feedback, and a suggestion on how to change it, also suggesting to add hacking content to the ESS.
I did the same for the ore redistribution patch. Gave feedback on composition of ore by system, and gave a suggestion about changing the base ore and mineral m3 amounts to even numbers out, between other stuff.
Both were things that affects me, my gameplay, and my income.
I didn’t go to the threads to complain it was simply stupid, to reroll it back, to complain I couldn’t be bothered to defend the ESS while ratting, to mention how it would be impossible to play in high sec without nocxium, to grieve about how much my income would suffer, etc etc, like many people in this thread are doing now.
Coming to give feedback is fine, but do you seriously think people wouldn’t make fun of players for coming to complain they now have to press F?
That’s not feedback. It’s simply complaining.
And that’s been, by far, the most ridiculous complaint I have seen in all of the update and feedback threads I have been to.
In most PvP situations drones must be controlled manually.
Thinking of that, I can’t think of even one PvP situation where I would prefer my drones on auto.
Just remove this functionality altogether.
Oh? How exactly is AFK cloaking wealth generation? Is there something I’m missing, where your AFK cloaked ship is doing something besides sitting idle in space? Because I have never, in a lot of years, generated any wealth while cloaked.
Or remove local: the only acceptable solution to AFK cloaking, which will be 100% effective at ending it.
