This was complained about a long time ago.
CCP said "we're working on a solution" and were immediately asked a wave of questions. People pointed out that a simple check on player activity can be circumvented by a piece of tape or a rubber band, and that a system like this wouldn't be a viable solution to the problem. Of course, instead of actually LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, this information was ignored, and CCP implemented exactly the system we already knew would do precisely nothing.
As such, if you see AFKers, note down names, then report them using a support ticket on the dust514.com website. Make a point of mentioning that there are two problems - the AFKers themselves, and more importantly, the lack of competent anti-AFK measures.
There are measure intended to prevent players from AFK farming, and it's been directly stated by CCP that it's not an intended method of play. That makes it a violation of the terms of use for the game, and therefore a bannable offense. Enough reports about someone and CCP are likely to investigate the reported player. If they investigate and confirm a player is AFK farming, then they get warned, banned or deleted depending on the severity of their rule violations. And if it keeps happening, maybe CCP staff will get sick of having to deal with all the tickets and ACTUALLY LISTEN TO US to fix the problem competently. |

Thanks. Reported.
Feel free to share what map you're on along with the post timestamp next time. Might help CCP track you and identify the holes in their anti-AFK measures. |
