But you also AFKed which essentially makes you as bad as them.

i do afk. that's why I'm not better than anyone else. I'm just stating the truth.
Much time ago (closed beta) i suggested a 1 WP = 5 SP system hard capped. That's it. If you do well in battle, that's great you just gained 6k SP. If you afk you gain 0 SP. Tah dah! Problem solved!

Was this just one game or many?\

The matchmaking system is still rather broken and it's going to be thrown out soon, then replaced.

It's not unusual to be tossed into games that only have 1-2 players in it until the last few moments when everyone else just gets tossed in.

I've even been in a match where I was the only one for the entire game... was great actually. surprisingly peaceful and I got to look at the scenery.

i just quote myself because everyone is still ignoring this^

Yeah but Leukoplast shouldn't be complaining/ comment on this if he is one of those people who do afk.

Sure he's all MLG and l33tzor and **** but that still a pretty weak show to me.

hey at least we're all afking on oceania and keeping out of the american servers.

LOL! Calvin B, explain yourself immediately!!

err, no. AFKing is rife on the Oceania server, which would be why so many Aussies and Kiwis play on Europe and US servers.

Maybe he's just like me/us. Let me explain: you do a great game. You do own with your 200k proto but someone on a lag, a forge gun, a group of 20 players kills you. You go 50-1. That's a great score isn't it. But when you do you gain an average of 250k isk. Your profit is "just" 50k isk and something like 1500 sp more than usual.
Now on the same match you afk. You don't die. You don't kill. But you still gain and profit more or less 150k isk. moreover you gain SP.
Now, tell me, what will you do, if you like the game, you know it has potential, but it's still a bit broken?

I would play it?

I can't understand why you guys are afk'ing, surely it's a huge pain to have to keep finding a battle every fifteen minutes?

don't hate the player hate the game.

So because it is possible to do, all players should be absolved of their decision to abuse game mechanics?
What a bullshit thought process. CCP didn't make people AFK. People made their own decision to do so.

wow... i love how the event to lessen AFK causes mass AFKing.

I sometimes wonder if we're all just a part of of some sort of massive psychological experiment.

Abuse? It's a game mechanic that allows you gain sp and isk even if you're doing nothing, maybe because ccp wanted to reward ppl unable to be useful for their squad, who knows. ccp is well aware of the problem since closed beta. They changed SP systems many times, but still afk is "permitted" somehow. But, please, understand that I myself posted a solution, even in closed beta i posted that same solution that would solve afking. Still nobody gives a damn. Either players and ccp.

Who won? Just curious cuz if no Null Cannons are taken then which side (if any) takes damage?
That is all. Eriknaught out. END TRANSMISSION.

MCCs do deal damage to eachother, and the attacking MCC always attacks first.

I never said in the OP that I was against it, nor do I deny doing it. Heck, I'm AFKing right now in the Oceania server.

It still feels dirty, I'll admit, but this game is too much of a damn grind. I AFK on my main, then I actually go play the game on my alt, because I am honestly tired of using the AR and calogi suit. AFKing gives me a chance to keep up in points with my main, while I go test out new weapons and suits on my alt.

LOL! Calvin B, explain yourself immediately!!

Speaking of akf parties, did you ever get that dancing hive video yet?

Yep that's me at the bottom. Unfortunately I happened to just join the game. For some reason I couldn't find one game that had not already started. So no I was not AFK I was lookin for a match so I could play murder taxi. I like to try and run you over and if I miss I jump out waddle my fat heavy self toward you and mow you down with my HMG. I cant do drive by's so this is the closest I can get.

back in beta I used to afk for about 10 or 11 games, now I just don't care if I hit cap or not, I play when I play and that's it.
