Yeah but what about those which just want to kick back after Work and set the waypoints, lay down because tired and watch the screen while tracking if someone appears for interaction.
NOT TO MENTION, it also has it's disadvantages for the "afk" traders as you call, imagine if a pirate is just in that system suddenly popping up, blowing you up because you don't reply? That's a disadvantage, then good luck getting another miner to mine your Ore again. It has its pros and cons but in the end it would realy be community service and would make peoples life easier as you don't have to freakin gloo yourself onto your keyboard while watching tons of K's being cruised, staring at your Screen like mad. Isn't it like that?
If you are a Pirate or a interaction seeker, your purpose is clear and thus being present and ready is a common thing. But while trading you wait until you reached the next Jumphole.
Please note that this for all I care could be only implemented from one Jumphole to another if you realy think it would be abused. So after reaching a Jumphole you still have to set the waypoints again on each system.
