FULLY automatic..  Yep thats right.. They are even charging you money for the game to play itself for you! LOL!!

 

"Hey kid! Does this game disgust you? makes you wanna puke huh? Well I'll tell ya what, let me make you a deal.. Pay me some money and I will have this game play itself so you won't ever have to look at it again! That's right.. Just for you kid!"

Is it for all their games or just that one.  But, it mainly sounds like a way to combat the grind.  Which would be nice in many free mmo's are a lot are ports of asian grinders.

I just made a post about this on the SWTOR game.The sad part is that this is a groing trend in all games,it seems there is a large base of people who pay to have a game play itself,makes absolutely zero sense,but since those people have no common sense it makes sense that the developer  caters their game design to them.

It doesn't end there,our game sucks ,so we will give you a bonus xp weekend,or free items for being a long time customer, the bribery goes on and on.I say give us a solid game and we have no complaints,but i guess they can't deliver on the solid game part,so they try gimmicks and bribes.

We already have thousands who think Eve is great for allowing offline skills,There is another game that allowed you to craft while in combat[totally unrealistic],ROM had offline learning ,SWTOR is going to have it,developers are becoming incompetent in good design,it is getting worse before it gets better.

Aeria does have decent looking characters and mobs and decent animations,but the content is null and void.This isn't a big problem if you look at how 99% of people play these games>>>>leveling,so really Aeria delivers all that the majority needs,kill stuff , gain a level,thanks for coming out.

I actually want a "king of the castle" type of MMO where I pay my peons to do stuff I don't feel like doing myself.  Now I think a player-controlled character should be able to fight, gather or tradeskill better than a NPC but I wouldn't mind delegating some stuff to a NPC.  But it can't be like this where the game plays itself completely without your input.

Why not just design the game to not be a boring grind?

Oh right, they can't gouge people by letting them purchase a bypass to their intentionally ill-designed system.

For anyone who wonders why some players are so avidly against item malls and RMT, this is why.

you want a MMO(F2P and P2P) to not have a boring grind? Impossible no such game exsists every MMORPG is a boring grind from wimpy n00b to End Game. MMO Dev's can claim otherwise but when you cut thru all the bullsh*t thats all it is a grind fest.
