Oceanic Servers are the AFK Servers...
Got to the Oceanic Servers to AFK...
Oceanic Servers are flooded with games that have one team 75% AFK, and the other 20-30% AFK. Day in, Day Out, and as an Oceanic Player who enjoys a good fight, not impossible ones, I join my voice with dozens of others in a call to AFK on the USA Servers until such time as CCP stops the AFK Problem.
Alone, each voice that cries out from the Oceanic Server is lost, but together, we can screw up their games like they screw up ours.
I call to everyone fed up with the USA Players treating their servers as 'refuse dumping grounds', that when you cannot play actively, switch to the US Servers and AFK in the MCC. |

Its a pretty sad state of affairs, but theres a handy work around for it, queue on the asia servers theres always great games to be had and TSOLEs squads could really even up the odds against some of the better asian squads getting around.
You must be pretty pissed off to start a topic like this, but its pretty counter productive and even if ppl did this it would be highly ineffective, theres many times more games being played on the US servers at all hours, they'd not even notice..... unless you got ppl to do it as full squads lol. |

If it's any consolation, an AFK "fix" is in the pipeline for 1.4. |

I am pretty pissed... and it has gotten to the point where I've had games that 13 of the team was AFK in the MCC... 13 of 16... And they were squadded in 2 groups of 4, and 1 of 5.

AFKing, period, just plain sucks. But yea, asking americans to abide by your rules? LOL when in history did that ever happen? Hopefully they figure out some long term solution for AFKers. |

Funnily enough, I've received support in-game about this... as well as heard some funny things. Been shot at more in the US MCC than normal... and been screamed at in TEAM chat to go back and AFK on Oceanic Servers...
Seems some impact is being felt. |

Wow, who would've thought that CCP's incompetence to pump out material at a decent pace would make everyone who AFK's fight each other on the servers? I don't point my finger at the AFKers on this one, but I'm hoping people on this forum are intelligent to know what I'm implying... |

If it's any consolation, an AFK "fix" is in the pipeline for 1.4. Anyone else recall when AFK-ing was going to be fixed in 1.0? Some people got excited and then... bam, nothing.
+1 to the OP for suggesting a protest over game-play. Matchmaking alone is so bad I'm thinking about taking up AFK-ing. |

you're going about it all wrong... time in match=SP, Oceanic games are now so biased that games end far too fast to gain SP effectively.
servers with more balanced teams offer longer matches, so you'll spend more time in match and less on loading screens or in your quarters.

I don't think of it as AFKing... I'm capped.. and I gain nothing from doing it... I do it just to ruin their game experience, as they are ruining mine. |

I wonder what CCP is going to claim about their inactivity to this AFK-problem which has been adressed for ages now that this is finally (hopefully) escalating.
Or are they really afraid of losing numbers on DUST?
Note to CCP: SOONGäó & ROADMAPGäó aren't cutting it anymore, time to bring that promised "open communication" you've talking about.

Yes CCP is afraid of low numbers and no 1.4 will not have a AFK fix. BTW I AFK on all servers, its the only fun game mode we have. |

I know plenty of Americans... and while I cannot say ALL the AFKers are American... I can say that at the very least, most belong to US-based Corporations... That could mean anything of course, but in most cases, Corps tend to stick mostly within their own region so they can play together.
Note: I said 'mostly' there are US and EU players in TSOLE, and Asian Players... so I don't expect ALL to be American in American Corporations.. but when you go match after match with different names from these corporations.

In most situations, when someone blames a single country of people for something that isn't even directly related to origins of the problem (CCP not implementing an AFK system from the get go), it tends to reveal they're racist, or at the least prejudiced.
You could be complaining about AFKers in general, which is the actual problem. But you feel its only American AFKers, or at least...all your posts demonstrate that emotion. |

European Server - Can't really understand them half the time.
US Server - See an AFKer in the MCC (not me) the guys on team chat start yelling at him to 'Go to the f*cking Oceanic Server! That's where you should AFK."
Asian Server - Seriously, these guys don't talk... it's eerily quiet, and scary.
Australian Server - 'A f*ck... we got 2 squads of AFKers in the MCC."
It's not a matter of bias, or racism.. it's a matter of KNOWING that the Americans view the Oceanic Servers as AFK farms. |
