DUST Search - How to fix AFking

Bri Bub wrote:

Squadding up is not q-synching... Q-synching was when two separate squads would time their entry into a battle so that they would often drop on the same Team- I don't believe this is possible any more since the Mu-based matchmaking was introduced... For instance if two squads of EB (hell ya, we did it because if was fun if we got matched together or squads against one another) try to time their drops nowadays they will end up on opposite sides, not the same Team...

I don't disagree with Ghaz here but maybe it is a little heavy-handed to completely remove the possibility to earn ISK/SP from "low" contributors... I more so like some recent proposals where if someone stays exclusively in the redline their earnings are eliminated or greatly reduced... Sure you can still AFK outside the redline but at least you are not completely tucked away in the MCC or way back in the redline, there is the possibility that some scrub like Bri Bub will be hunting the map's periphery to offer a welcome to New Eden warfare...

I'm sorry but you shouldn't be able to q-sync pubs , that's what PC and FW is for . That's the behavior that leads to the proto stomping . People don't want that changed because they like easy wins against random players but complain when someone doesn't want to face that crap so they AFK . I don't like AFKing either but lets solve the problem where it REALLY rests at . You just can't have it both ways and trying to punish those who have to suffer because the community as a whole doesn't get together to fix matchmaking and stop q-syncing in pubs , is the real problem . They are just addicted to " easy wins " but don't like it when people get easy SP's and ISK's . Can't have it both ways . Address the REAL problem . Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .

I think I've played this game long enough to understand the difference , just like I'm sure that you do as well and you must understand where I'm coming from , so please don't try to make excuses for this conduct and condone these types of actions . I'm sure you know people who q-sync pubs , hell ... they admit it in the forums . I understand the concepts of squad play as well . Please , lets not try to make light of this problem because it is a problem and one that plagues this game and kills it's rise in so many areas . Lets solve the problem , not place band-aids over the issue or make light of the circumstances . Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .
