Anyway, ya, auto scout ruled we you had some geek running his last few units around. Just select all your guys and hit "L". Was it "L", been a long time.

Could I also have auto villager creation, auto barrack building, auto unit/counter creation , auto resource gathering, auto unit/counter targetting system pls?
That way I can eat a pizza and watch the game being played at the same time.
In fact, can I just have auto-win system pls?

I think you misunderstood. He means you press a button and the unit would automatically wonder around and scout. It's no always the most effective form of scouting though.

Have you heard of command queuing / shift-clicking? There, your auto scout

Again, it's one of the things that separates the rookies from experts, so it's good to have it.

Auto scouting was never as good as scouting yourself. An auto scout would go off in some direction and go right through the enemy base without thinking. In AOM you want to scout near your base first and look for forward bases if you are playing norse and keep your scout away from the enemy TC if you are norse/eggie....
Personally I think an auto-scout feature would be nice yet it would never be as good as yourself controlling the scout. There would still be a large gap between rooks and experts with this feature present.
When you present an idea, you're basically asking for people's opinions. If you expect everyone to agree, then don't post it.
Nobody was insulting you.

Gathering information is too important to leave to anything running on auto. It would probably fool more people to think they are scouting well enough when they were not, than it would actualy help. Get used to scouting and your game will improve.

I think it would be a not-so-great idea. I like how they have it, and besides, in the beginning there isn't much to do but move your scout around. And there's shift-clicking.
