Been running into a ton of players like kl0w lately, all just standing in the MCC or wherever they spawn in, and spending the entire game doing squats. His 0.04 kdr is impressive, but... |

Yup, yesterday morning we had 4 all doing that in the MCC. It's definitely helpful when you're already facing up against q-synched DNS teams every second game, who needed that other squad anyways? |

CCP won't do that though, because a lot of players wouldn't be able to cap out then.
Full disclosure: I'm afking right now with my heavy alt. I am not wasting ISK on an infantry toon until CCP fixes the skill bug. This is the real answer, OP. The question you should be asking CCP and Rouge is why are they rewarding players who AFK with big, fat piles of SP in every game?
I agree, but I still think there needs to be some passive in battle sp. If a newberry out of academy winds up on a team of veterans, which is pretty common, then he's likely to get almost no active wp, unless he gets forced into being a support role. That takes all of the sandbox and choose-your-own-adventure out of the game, and leaves them with playing a role that they have no interest in, or just not playing anything and waiting on passive sp. |

You should not even consider this as a possibility. CCP/Mothership drives EVE with Only Passive SP. No active WP or SP. You would not get EVE players to play Dust without passive SP. And the many gods know that EVE and its Pod Peeps are the best thing in the world to CCP/Mothership. That and their monthly rental fees ... so they can get their Passive SP.
Removing Passive SP is not going to happen. Now if Passive SP was the only solution and you could get Passive SP without having to log in, that might just work. But as long as there is Active SP then there will be AFK.
Plus, as stated above, FOTM or reactions to Day 1 OP gear/weapons will always drive AFK (and sniping as mentioned). Since this game is supported by CCP/Shanghai there will always be Day 1 OP bits.
Welcome to Dust
I'm pretty sure he was just talking about the passive SP from within battles, hence the staying alive part, and not the overall passive sp gain. |
