So, since the changes are now in and ready to go, Bort... take the time to give this little fix.
#1, make the default setting "unchecked" instead of "checked".
#2, make it for all dots just the same as it is for Free Dots.
#3. Also put it in/on the "Quick Tactics Editor" so we can set it when doing our tactics... and/or simply on the player's page when setting tactics either way (QTE or just setting regular tactics from player's page).

True. But, I don't mind him giving a bump up to a great idea! Guess something good came of it!

Just bumping for possible Bort sighting.

Dear Mr. Bort.

This suggestion is a very low hanging fruit that shall yield many smiles. It should be super simple to apply and loved and adored by (almost) all players.

Thank you for listening.

Bort already posted on Discord that auto-boost on non-free dots was a no-go because it would involve charging someone actual flex.

Imagine if you got hit by a bus, had 40 paid dots all on auto-boost, came back after 3 seasons or so only to find you had 40 useless dots but had been charged for 400 boosts? (40 x 5 x 2 seasons)

I see his point, is what I'm saying. Just my 2 cents.

His point is valid if you continue with auto-boost default being "checked." If the default option is "unchecked" and the user decides to enable it then that's the risk they would run.

Adding the auto-boost check to the quick tactics page would be sufficient as a fix/compromise imo.


If I made 55 dots and had to do like 5 clicks on each player to disable, it would make me want to die.

Yes. This. It doesn't work if the 'auto check' in the box stays. Both things need to happen. No more 'auto check' and the ability to 'auto boost' all dots. Then it becomes a useful tool for all. Also avoids this for some dot builders;

Absolutely. I have only 24 dots and I just finished having to go through each and every one to avoid MISSING boosts before season rollover. If I could have some place... any place, such as Quick Tactics or even Quick Training page... or some such similar page in the game... then I could set for 'Auto Boost' for my dots and no longer need to worry if I missed one or if I, for some reason, got locked out of logging in (internet down... computer crash... bad storm creating havoc with satellite reception... or any other reasons).

Caveat; I mean, I'm likely gonna do my boosts myself so I can get the max out of them... BUT, again, I have seen people 'miss boosts' before and I've done it a couple of times. It happens. With, likely, the future of quality dots being 'non-early boosters' (unless there's a change between now and then) then if you miss ANY boosts doing dots that way, you are SCREWED. 5 levels behind for life. Nothing to do but retire and recycle, wrecking some poor bugger's team in the process. NO margin for error. So the ability to be 100% SURE by being able to set for 'auto-boost' is almost paramount. Either that or there's bound to be the eventual angry "I missed my f*ckin boost and now we're screwed!" post... followed by "Contact Support". DD... gird yer loins, brother. I see the wave a'comin.

if you are using auto boost you are probably not optimizing your boosting
