If I use autopilot the faction police will kill me, so no, I never use autopilot, and no, I'm not a liar.

Sometimes I let an fc auto-pilot me around.

I still have to mash the undock thingy and jump gates manually so it's almost not worth the effort tbh.

is this a thing now that everyone hates auto pilots?


It's called "bot aspirancy".


Which seems to have quite the nebulous definition.


The definition is not nebulous, the subject it covers is broad.


And nebulous.

Generally speaking, of course.

Just like people should accept those that wish to auto pilot. No difference in play style.

I do not see anyone complaining about AFK cloaking, it's part of the game and a good reason to fleet up so you can fight if need be. When AFK cloakers camp the system I play in, I just get a cheap ship I don't mind losing and keep going, 99.9% of the time the afk cloaker is a bluff that couldn't even cyno-drop you if they wanted to.


You must be new or have poor reading comp skills. The subject of afk play style was assosiated with auto pilot, which I assosiated with afk cloaking or afk minning. Each play style are afk play styles which people want to have a problem with one but not the other because they do one and not the other.

as far as i can tell it's to make highsec as awful and hellish as imaginable. this manifests itself as a need to right-click and select 'jump' shortly after I hear the thingy go woosh.

it puts me right off my netflix.

When you are afk, you are not playing.

If this doesn't strike you as obvious,
imagine how you don't sit in front of your PC.

Next people will come up with is how they watched a movie afk,
while actually being in the kitchen ... not seeing it.

You mean like afk cloakling? That type of non-playing??
No. Also, AFK cloakers don't come to the forum to complain and demand that they be made more safe, so you seem to have misunderstood 100% of the argument, as always.

Good news: no-one isn't accepting them.

I never use autopilot. I use auto-dock at times, though, because anything else is pretty foolish.

I don't. I used to when I was new and had more to READ about Eve online than I had to do actually PLAYING it, until it cost me a set of implants, and now I do my reading while cloaked. Lol

Are you a forum alt? Have you ever wondered why your experience on the forums is always so frustrating and unrewarding? This may help.

I have done that. I have also had a movie playing on my laptop (closed) in the car and listened to it while on long trips.

"EvE, where any playstyle is OK, as long as it conforms to CODE scamming"


People target AFK-ers and high sec miners because it is the easiest way to claim they 'PvP' without actually taking any risk. It is another form of carebear.

I have killed my share of autopiloters. I really don't care about the mechanic or have any CODE-like problem with autopilot as a mechanic. In fact, if you are in a shuttle with no PLEX in the hold and are willing to lose your implants, go ahead and autopilot. I just think it's really dumb when people autopilot in 100m+ pods (especially when they do it without a shuttle or anything around the pod).

Don't get me wrong. I really like it when you do auto an expensive pod for me to shoost. But I will think you are dumb afterwards.

You sound kinda butthurt about it. Not that it's going to stop me. But, don't call it carebearing. Call it, like, idk, PvPvE? Like, I'm against you kinda but mostly against CONCORD and the gate guns?

I have lived in null/w-space since I was about month into the game. At the end of the day, do whatever you want in high sec, I am there maybe twice/month to make a trade run.

It is definitely carebearing though. It is a bit of PvP with next to no risk.

to be fair to them ... it's not carebearing
it is however an extremely low risk activity



lower risk than mining or afk'ing.

People feel hatred over others using autopilot? Man, we have some messed up Eve players if that's true.
