Actually no. After the controversy last year that lead to the implementation of the ilde time b4 getting kicked out of a match, I became a huge AFK advocate for my fallen brethren that were not able to continue their AFK experience.
AFKing was important because of the current progression system and by setting a "cap," it lead to a weekly goal... a responsibility. Only until that goal was meet could many of of us (did not affect all of us) start playing the game for "fun." This is true for many games that use progression systems similar to that of eve and dust. I used to play Battlestar Galactica MMO and would AFK a lot.... especially when mining or waiting for a fleet to build up.
It adds to the realism... think about a person who gets in line for a video game release 24 hours in advanced who decides to take a break to go eat or use the restroom and disappears for an hour or 2. Should his spot be considered given up? While those that sit behind him will grudge and say yes because they want an opportunity to get closer to the goal, those in front will agree that he earned to be at the spot.
Now, I know that legion will be going a different route with the progression system, two things I assume would remain the same. First is long term progression (I shouldn't be able to unlock EVERYTHING after a day... or a week). I should be able to play this game for months or years and still find goodies to unlock. Second, which relates to the first, you can only progress on one progression item at a time. In other words if I'm working to unlock an assault rifle, I can't not use that same SP (example) to unlock another suit or module. It becomes exhausted.
The goal is always to not make the game feel like a "grind" and AFKing helps a lot in that aspect. It keeps us sane and from asking ourselves "why do I continue to progress?" to which many will answers are " I don't want to get behind" and sometimes the only way is AFK from time to time.
Now I'm not saying there should be no consequences, I mean so many times when mining my ship would get attacked. Luckily it had an auto attack defense mechanism which gave me some time to come back and defend myself. But I never got kicked out of the server for it. I would assume a similar experience occurs in EVE... and therefore, would be nice to include in legion as well.

Eve has Twitch integration, so hopefully Legion will too. Then you can let us watch live-streams of the big battles in our Captains Quarters.

Leaving nothing to do but line up next to One another and try to push the enemy back into their MCC. When I see this line of sadomasochist competing to see who's bullet will get the kill first. This is when I absolutely lose interest in this game. This is where I wish I could set my controller down and walk away. Or maybe CCP could make it so I could equip a shovel and a bucket and go out doing some mining. Or maybe a rag and some turtle wax so I could get points for polishing the Noll Cannons. What, you don't like driving LAVs into the red line and slaughtering them as they spawn? You can't tell me you don't even like sniping them as they drop from the MCC. Any good dust player, when the enemy is redlined, will take out his Logi suit and farm WP.
I got bored with all that long ago. I guess my point is the matchmaking system is broken. |

When I was young an old strategy RPG game called Battletech (I hope you guys know it and the MechWarrior franchise) gave you money after a certain amount of actions, so I just used to jam a pencil into the keyboard next to the cursor keys and go have lunch or something and come back and my guy had accumulated a ton of credits.
I was AFK, my pencil was not. If anything, he had become one with the K.

I refuse to believe that you haven't seen inception. The most overrated movie of 2011?

No, I have seen it, I just have no idea how it relates to me sticking a pencil into the cursor key section of my keyboard to cheat at an old DOS game more than 20 years ago

No Sir this is not a joke. Sometimes the red berries need us to put our controllers down.
Yea, those games if I don't put it down, I throw it at a wall...
