It would be nice if there was a feature to automatically accept all contracts coming from a certain character. That way I wouldn't have to accept contracts coming from my alts all the time

It sure would be nice to send you a contract where you pay all your isk for 1 trit and watch you auto accept.

In the fairness, the OP did say from a certain character. So yeah, from the looks of things that wouldn`t happen unless you`re on their whitelist, and if that`s the case then odds are you`re and alt of theirs and the money would still be theirs.

Sure, you may mean for it to be only used with alts. But I can also see it being useful for people who regularly trade with each other.
Then there will be people who use it in ways they shouldn't.
Then there will be the thefts involving it as, if someone is auto-accepting contracts from you, you can empty their wallet.

I approve.


Though I would suggest that if an account becomes unpaid, then it stops automatically accepting contracts and auto-accept needs to be turned back on when the account is reactivated.

No, I don't think this is a good idea. Auto-accept removes the explicit consent you give for something to happen and thus the consequences of it.

Auto-accept Fleet Invites next?

That being said if it were added as an option in the ESC > Reset Settings menu to be reset like the "Abandon loot?", "Agent mission warning offer", "Apply Training Queue Changes?" then the Capsuleer has seen the warning of auto-accepting and has given explicit permission.

This would be feature you would use for your alts mainly. And perhaps players you trust very well.

As I said it should only be used for alts, or characters you trust very well.

Go half way

Put them on your auto accept list > go to contracts > hit auto-accept > warnings pops up > OK > CONTRACTS done

beats doing the same damn thing 40 times in a row with the same damn character on the same damn day regarding the same damn purpose for dammit... multiple damn characters!

I understand that I'm just adding that it should be explicitly applied and not implicit and be able to be reset and as an OPTION. CCP seem to be removing more options than granting these days.

It would work for all of us I think and is a good idea hence my argument for and against in the same comment.

EDIT: Oh and I got your "Like" cherry...1st woohoo
