I figured as much, but I don't think that the AFK macro user is the majority of the reource gatherer. I see far more extractors than samplers. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw someone sample, so I don't understand why the dev's would feel the need to limit AFK sampling with macros, especially when they coded the game to include such macro's.

Survey events don't get rid of sampling macros at all, it just changes them.
/sample;/pause 2;/stand;/sit;/pause 28;/stand;/ui toolbarSlot01;
Put it on the F2 button on your toolbar and let it go. If it hits one of those "events" then ending the sampling to sit (and heal your action/mind) effectively ignores it, then when you sample the next time it's like it was never even there.

The amount of events is ridiculous. I do NOT AFK sample and i find these extremely annoying.
I am a zabrak and my sampling skills SUCK since my support stats are so low. I'm getting LITERALLY 3-4 pop ups per sample run and this is just way too many.
Not to mention the PAIN of failing on a 300 Action cost pop-up...
Not to mention that waypoints are STILL broken so the redirect pop-up is useless.
Sorry, I have lots of heavy harvesters but need camping xp. What else am i going to do while camping since i don't need to craft anything (would love to do traps, but they take too much inventory space so i only make 3 of each kind that I use). Anyway, the pop-ups are very annoying--3-4 of them? Come on!!

Juat when I get back into suyveying, and with macros yet, the Survey Event comes along and stops me dead cold. I would like the dev's to consider a toggle for this so we turn it off in order to sample with a macro. Or at least to auto deny it after a certain amount of time, if an option isn't selected. I don't have the creds for harvesters, or the inclination to sit at the comp while mining to click the mouse. What do you other miners think?

I think the point is to *limit* the amount of AFK sampling. It's not like the events are exciting or even useful. They are there so that people don't do it -- so to answer your question -- no, they aren't going to have an auto-deny or override option.

I know a method of getting around the Survey Event popup. Last time I tried it, it worked 100% of the time, and doesn't require things like /sit /pause, et cetera. However, should I post it here? If I do, then you can bet the farm that they'll nerf it. Opinions?
