But people have left the game in droves because of auto tagging. Something which happens in the background and will probably never see again as its doubtful you will ever jump to one of your own tagged systems as the likely hood of that is so low.
The horror of autotagging something which nobody will actually notice has seemed to ruin the whole experience of exploration for some people.
To be honest, I just don't get it. Seems to be a ridiculously minor issue to leave the game over.
To be fair, I don't think auto tagging is all that's made people leave the game, it's just another symptom.
And in any case, why should players not feel strongly about something that ruins their immersion, the story and role play they have for their character, especially when it's forced upon them? You say that just having an ADS in the game, even if you didn't have to use it and it wouldn't affect you at all and thus would never notice it would diminish the game for you.
