matt Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 As some of the people before me, I'll say it again. The auto-drive script was added so you can roleplay whilst you're driving. Simply adding it to such job would just support money-farming which is simply bad and unrealistic and I disagree with the suggestion. Yeah, you'd bring a great point, but it still ruins the roleplay concepts. Link to comment

It may also encourage people to take the longer routes that are being currently avoided. Sorry bro, I think i misread your post in my last reply, wasnt exactly targeted at you. That's my bad entirely. Link to comment

It's unfair for people to assume that we want something so that we can "AFK money grind". I dont give a fuck about money, and when I'm on the server I'm on it for a reason, not to go AFK. This would allow my character to work on some passive RP while I'm trucking, instead of having to dedicate all my time to managing the script functions of the job, leaving me with not much chance during a run to RP. Oh don't get me wrong, my past character started his IC career with a heavy RP focus on trucking, I know where you're coming from. But if people fear the "afk money grind", I'd rather have the uninterested truckers cruising at reasonable speeds automatically than what's currently done, is all I'm saying. Link to comment

I'm confused about this though, you've said that it was added so we can RP while driving, taxi and truck drivers seem like the place where most of the RP while driving would be happening. And I've said already I'm not a money person, but if someone wanted to use it for work which is entirely the reason people do it irl let them, it's not up to us to decide how people play, if it breaks rules, report it.

Far more realistic than the current state of things. Link to comment
Paenymion Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Pretty sure nobody would actually "farm" using the autodriving. It's so slow and stops at red lights. Anybody interesting in farming could do four deliveries in the time it would take to do one with autodriving 😄 1 Link to comment

Also a good point, but they could just put their feet on their desk and chill, maybe even go AFK and their character would just collect it's money by itself. Fair point though about the realism though. Link to comment

I own a speedo express that hits 120 on a good day, auto pilot is stopping me from getting money as quick. Link to comment

I think the ability to skip the driving part takes more away from the scriptwise job than any roleplay around the job. Link to comment
