A simple rubberband to make you walk into the MCC walls will easily circumvent this so called "fix".

Tested and confirmed!

Rubber band? Sh*t I dont need one my 3 year old wore out ds3 walks on its own.

Friendly fire after 35 seconds in the MCC would fix it.

my r1 stuck one time, so I took the pad apart and couldn't get it back 100% the r2 l2 now feel like triggers and when it rumbles I turn left, had to get a new 1

Or they could simply do what should have been done from the start; no XP for merely partisipating in a round. And by that I mean that we shouldn't get XP based on the time spent ingame. It should solely be given based on WP earned, making the more active players benefit rather than all the camping sobs I see every game.

Wanna stay at the redline taking potshots with that sniper? Go ahead, but you'd better be a crack shot to get a decent amount of XP out of it....

have sympathy with this view - but then everyone would run logis (as many do now for WP). A WP fit: nanos/ reps/ injector - and coming soon scanning - quickest and easiest way to make WP. No need to play objectives or anything.

WP need a general rethink

This i so want this..
sadly this means id probably never play the game id spend the whole game shooting afkers till i had no ammo

But is this really a problem for pubs? Who cares if people run fits to boost their WP if they are attempting to hit their SP cap?

I have said it before and I will keep saying it. AFKing problem as Babar said will never be fixed until they remove the SP per second in game and make it a SP per WP. If you make it such that you get 5-10 SP per WP then you will stop seeing people constantly AFKing and you will see more participation in capturing objectives and hives/links/etc.

I agree. But they cant just get rid of in game SP without reworking WP.

if you go 20-0 you get 1000 WP

If you follow and rep a heavy all game you can go 3000 WP - adding nothing to the team.

the WP are all out fo whack

yes its pubs. Its where people play to hit the cap.

brilliant ccp a rubber band is better than you are.

Ok I am testing this out now. The blue dots are angry, punching me in the back haha.

- I have been afk-ing for 4 mins now and my rubber band just popped off.
- 6mins in to the match and I discovered a much better place to have the band.
- match is 3/4 of the way through, still here and rubber band is holding nicely.
- The match ended.

AFK is not fixed.

You still got SP?

You still got SP?

You don't know how logis work do you? That would be at least 4000 HP that would have been healed, and since triage has a cooldown after around 150-200 HP healed that likely means that you healed more. That means that if he followed ONE heavy around this entire time, he healed him 24 separate times for the full cooldown amount. That's 23 engagements that he was able to return to in full health. You cannot say that that logi is doing nothing.

CCP just for science, I tried this


AFK is still working

in a skirmish, I got

85.970 ISK

5,068 SP

CCP should've made sprint a required action.

Can I ask what you did while AFKing?

I tried the rubber band thing (purely for scientific purposes) and I can say I was kicked from the game when I only rubber banded the left analog stick. When I redid the rubber band on both sticks AFKing works just like it did before. Except now everyone will be spinning in circles in the MCC.

I'm already capped but I got ISK.

Hey guys, I'll try to get some more hard details on the AFK system for you. But as far as Rubber bands go, I've been told it's pretty rubber band proof (and if you do find the right arrangement to make them work, please tell us via support ticket so we can fix it.)

AFK detection:
- You get a warning at 90s and kicked at 180s of inactivity; these values may be tuned down the road
- Infantry activity: move OR fire
- Vehicle activity: move OR fire
- Non-driver turret activity (includes installations): pitch/yaw OR fire
- Passive vehicle seat activity: counts as active whenever drive is active

Obviously this isn't going to be perfect, but it should significantly cut down on incidences of AFKing. If it doesn't have a noticeable impact we'll re-evaluate.

So dont worry guys this antiafk measure is totally afk proof because ccp said so (im sorry logibro, your a swell dev and all, but you fell subject to the CCP silliness bug :P)

Just earlier while testing I got kicked. There is no warning. Just back in MQ all of a sudden.

No, sorry let me clarify. The first attempt with only the left analog failed. And I was given no warning. So far having both analogs rubber banded seems to work fine.

Hmm.. thats odd, my testing worked 100% of the time so far with just the left analog. Perhaps there are other variables?

I'm sorry. You're right. It was actually the right analog stick I tried the first time. So I guess just the right stick won't work but just the left stick will. Hmmmmm. Rubber Band proof......

I wonder if thats like 80 proof alcohol. Where proof means something completely different.

i think your right.

FFS. How hard is this stuff.

Simply make it such that your character has to CHANGE speed/direction. Even aiming requires a back and forth to sweep or follow.

No rubber band... no false evictions for snipers who are looking for a target.

Here is how to solve redline afk, MCC afk and slow down redline sniping.

After 35 seconds in MCC enable friendly fire and after 90 seconds pop up a window with a 8 digit button code to prove you are a human. Use the all the L and R buttons along with the shape buttons to create a random code. Fail twice or 60 seconds pass and you get kicked and a coward tag added to your chevron. One coward tag per kick and each tag would be worth an extra 10k ISK for ten consecutive deaths.

When inside the red zone enable the same type of pass code after 180 seconds. Fail twice or 60 seconds pass gets you kicked and labeled deserter worth 10k ISK per tag for ten consecutive deaths. Enter the code twice or more times correctly and get the poltroon tag worth 7500 ISK per death for five consecutive deaths. With three minutes between code inputs a merc could do anything needed but the pop up would be annoying and needing two code inputs would allow merc to stay six minutes without being penalized.
