This post has convinced me to AFK in Oceania servers.

Thanks for tilting the needle bro.

You'll just be joining the others that do already. You're just another one of hundreds already.

Thanks for following the pack.

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.

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 our servers as 'refuse dumping grounds', that when you cannot play actively, switch to the US Servers and AFK in the MCC.

Would have been a better sequel.

TODAY! WE WILL INVADE THEIR SERVERS AS THEY DO OURS!

TO DO... NOTHING!

They can try to get rid of AFKers, but they will just lose players.

No problem bro.

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

This post has convinced me to AFK in Oceania servers.

Thanks for tilting the needle bro.

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.

Feel your pain, I have been on the end of this too, but I refuse to be a "sheeple" and AFK

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.

It's really that bad there? (no this isn't sarcasm btw)
it irritates me when I get saddled w 1-2 players afking... wish we could get sp for pistol whipping mcc campers.

hey there's a fix, leach sp every time you bash a camper, PROBLEM SOLVED

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.

And what makes you think only Americans are doing it?

Oh right, your posts all over this forum points to your racism.

Carry on.

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.

I'm using them to learn how to fly my dropship.

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.

Why don't you go with the flow and just play on the American severs?

You're not gonna even make a dent in their numbers, prob have 10 times the games starting up a min then the oceanic servers.

None's afking to ruin your game , but your proposing ideas to ruin theirs .

seems like a real dickhead move /

If you can't handle a real fight, go AFK

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.

Who gives a **** if some people from American servers are telling others to go to Oceania server? that has nothing to do with Americans, that's just an ******* playing on US servers. They might not even be American. Servers don't dictate your ******* nationality. There are a lot of assholes in the world, in America and your country. If i heard an Australian say "Man, the world would have been great if Adolf ****** won the war", I don't go around complaining that Australians are communists, and start taking to the streets to protest the Australian Communist Agenda.

What i keep trying to point out to you is your aren't complaining about AFKers, you are complaining about Americans. Saying Americans are the bane of your gameplay because,

"Americans are AFKing on your server."
"Lets fight back against these Americans by AFKing on American servers."

Your entire focus is the fact that Americans are doing it, not the AFKing in general.

You could have easily made the same arguments by creating a post saying "CCP, please fix the AFKing so my Oceania server can stop being ****** up", but no...you chose to make it a racial issue.

Hench the reason you appear to be racist.

Edit - Apparently the last name of a despised person in history that lost in world war 2 is a naughty word.

Why go to Oceana server to AFK anyway?

Have to give you credit. Trying to force this into a racial issue is a brilliant way to get the thread locked.

But I'm not racist.. I have US corp mates who will attest to it.. I know a heap of US players from playing the US servers... and I don't have an issue with those... the REASON I say US players is because they are the ONLY ones evidenced as to doing it.

I fully expect there to be some other nationalities doing it... but the FACT is that US players have been saying in game, and on forums, that the Oceanic Servers are for AFKing... they are openly derisive, and pretty much say 'what the f**k you gonna do about it?"

So here is the answer. We show the US servers what it's like to have 6 + Guys afk in the MCC, and maybe they'll reign their own stupid AFKers in a bit.

So you start a thread about solely Americans AFKing on your server, proceed to "get back at Americans" by performing the same act your despise on American servers, say you assume other countries are doing it, but will keep your focus solely on American players because its the only "fact" that you know of....

And I'm the one that turned this into a racial issue?

I now see why you feel the way you do : Flawed logic is flawed.

Are you proud of the unasked-for passive in-match sp mechanic you shoved down out throats after the vote on sp systems CCP?

You created this sickness.

I've quoted the facts... bring me facts that EU Players actively promote players AFKing in the MCC on OCEANIC servers, and I'll call for them to be boycotted as well...

The idea of a 'focused' boycott is to get results... with the number of US games.. we have to drop AFK Squads in order to have impact one game at a time... which we do...

I do have to admire your national pride... but listen to mine. Oceanic Players want to enjoy the game as much as everyone else... and it's proven that US players Actively Encourage their AFKers on the Oceanic Servers...preserving their own enjoyment... I'm sure they still have AFKers, but in such small numbers it makes little difference.

Even now, dropping squads of 6 AFKers into their matches ruins their gameplay experience in some small measure. Wehre as we have EVERY game aside from Ambush ruined by AFKers...

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.

I have the same "facts" as you do, viewing with my own eyes EU players afking, and claiming they afk in the Oceania server.

The idea of a focused boycott is fine, which is why i have a problem with yours. Your agenda isn't against AFKing, its against Americans AFKing. You are tagging, labeling and arguing against AFKing being a result of an American creation, which is not fine.

You are too presumptuous, for the only pride i have for my country is the ability for me to comfortably live while being in it. I merely cannot stand when someone tries to use race as a format for their troubles.

You should be complaining at CCP for allowing this to happen, to CCP for not fixing the situation. Boycotting CCP.

Or i can just take a page from your book and say "It's the Australians fault for not having more people buy the game, to fill up your servers so you won't have such one sided afk matches." But since the issue has nothing at all to do with race, but with CCP not implementing an AFK system, i don't, because I'm not racist.

Edit - I have this feeling that next you'll claim Australians having to pay more money for imported digital and electronic goods is also America's fault.

When I get back in game if I afk I'll go to America and say hello, practise my singing, talk about How my day has been going, shopping lists, day time TV soapy story plots. " that bree is such a skank" and my favourite revealing spoilers to new/old movies .
That normally incites the masses

Don't forget to say hello
:)

So here is the answer. We show the US servers what it's like to have 6 + Guys afk in the MCC, and maybe they'll reign their own stupid AFKers in a bit.

Canada and Mexico use the US servers too yet I've heard nothing in reference to them. You have no proof that these people even come from the US... some European players get faster connections on the US servers as well, go figure

Sounds like slander to me.... verging on blatant racism.

I fairness, they were trying to get a system that rewarded low SP earners.. (such as Dropship Pilots). The fact that it's abused is the gamer's fault... unfortunelty, the cat's out of the bag, and CCP needs to implement their fix... Coming SOON tm)

loss of appetite // muscle weakness // nausea or vomiting

If i was a **** I would start afking on the oceanic server, tired of these posts.

I told you before and i'll tell you again, your attempts are wasted, and will just make more people afk on your server.

it will not speed up ccp's attempts to fix the afk problem, it will just make it worse for you.
