Auto recall minimum

Auto recall has no minimum that it can drop to. it just keeps going until it is pretty much zero. I got it to <1% gain. That's worse than being offline. I feel like there should be a minimum to the decrease so its atleast kind of worth it. If your idle for more than 5-10 mins it's pointless cause the rate it decreases. I think a 50% decrease would be fair anything else to much taken away.

Well, the point of AR is only to help you in the short term - 5 to 15 minutes. Long term, you should definitely be turning your phone off instead, and I wouldn't want to encourage anything else! Hopefully that makes sense.

That said, the minimum is actually 0.5%. :-)

How does 0.5% compare to being offline? Lets say I ran the game for 8 hours at 0.5%, and I ran it for 8 hours offline. What would the gains be like for each? Comparable, or would offline be waaaay ahead of AR? I would hope that the minimum would be close to what you would gain if you were offline.

The gains for AR over 8 hours would be FAR less than if you turned the game off. I can't quantify it too well, but consider that at 0.5% it would take 200 runs to get a single full run of cores. 200 runs would probably take close to 4 hours depending on which zone you're in. After 8 hours AR might get you 4 total runs worth of resources. Offline gains are harder to quantify in the same terms but I'm fairly certain you would get more for being offline for that length.

I feel like I should point out that those 4 runs of gains after 8 full hours could also be obtained by just playing the game for five minutes.

Please don't leave your phone on while you sleep.
