Thread: Please don't add the autorun

I highly doubt the auto-run will be a forced mechanic. They won’t remove the manual run at all.

But also, we using macros for crafting and such. Complaining about some potential auto-run sounds more like hating on SE because they try to bring things from mobile version of the game.

I think both game can learn from each other and we need to stay open minded about it.

The issue I'm seeing is that this is CBU3/CS3 we're talking about here. Dungeons got dumbed down for the trust system already so who is to say we aren't getting a monkey's paw with the auto-run as well?

I can already imagine extremely simplified terrain layouts just so the auto-run doesn't get stuck on things when pathing to the quest objective.

The game has been dumbed down in a lot of ways and has suffered greatly for it. Dumbing it down even more won't improve anything.

We don’t even know how the auto-run will work though. I agree jobs deserve a rework, if that what’s you mean by “dumbed down”. But it’s a bit of a stretch for me to compare jobs where we don’t have choice to play them that way, and a potential feature that nobody forces you to use.

Trust system exists for people wanting to play alone, I don’t see the connection with it and the fact dungeons are all same easy design.

I absolutely agree that they cannot add an "auto run" feature. Being able to walk away while your character does all the travel for you goes against the very spirit of the genre. This would only be a negative, and that's not even considering how it might absolutely ruin map design to accommodate it.

There are lots of players that want more reasons to engage with the open world, an autorun would create a class of players that don't even engage with the open world as-is, and further de-incentivize the developers to expand the world in any way.

Then I don't know what to tell you, the connection is clear as day to anyone who has been here long enough.
It is a fact that they have stopped using certain mechanics, any kind of "interactable" in the environment for example, because the trust NPCs can't do them, going so far as to rework old dungeons to remove those mechanics from them as well.
