Why is it always the Anti-Armor starter fits that we see squatting in a corner?
Ever since I got all my Min APEX suits with lots of hard work and afking, I've been running my Min APEX Sentinel in the corner. No more militia fits. Now I run proto bpos with basic modules on. Especially during FW. Not only does it take longer to kill me but it forces the blueberries to do more friendly damage which could lead to a sooner kick.
I think it's time to improve the afking experience. I've always asked for a sitting animation or at least a couch to be included in the MCC. You can a screen that shows the entire map from above or even switch between what different blueberries are seeing. That way our merc gets some entertainment and does not have to stare at a wall the entire time.

Ok, ima be serious for a bit. You guys are looking at it all wrong. AFKING is not a cause, it's an effect. You cannot fix an effect. The only way to rid an effect is to attack the cause. And truth be told EVERYONE knows as to what causes afking. It's the same cause that makes people leave the game. The only difference between afkers and people that leave, is that afkers still have the hope that this game will be close to what it was promoted to be while the people that leave have simply given up on it or taking a break.
I'll ask the obvious question, WHY DO AFKERS AFK? Why doesnt anyone ask that question? It's because we all know the answer. And we hate to argue reason. When you admit that you understand why they do it, you cant help to not blame them for doing it. But we dare not talk about that because it forces you to acknowledge the root of the problem which is the game itself. And yes, the game has made significant improvements and a couple of step backs, but the progress is there, slow, but there.
I dont afk in pubs. Why? because i dont play pubs. Pubs is for grinding isk. I dont need isk. If I do play pubs it's because I've queued and gotten scotty too many times in FW and would rather farm SP since i cant get any LP.
Why do I afk in FW? Because it takes to long to get into a match.Average time is 15-20 min (or 1-2 scotty messages, however you want to look at it) on a good day. By the time I get in, i'm already halfway in a match on League. And dont tell me to go play pubs. I dont want to play pubs, I want FW. I'll bet you'll use the same arguments if I said to combine pub queue with FW queue so you get forced to play FW.
You want a simple (yet not so simple coding wise) fix to the cause of afking?
Got to do two things:
1. Matchmaking: people are not gonna fight q-sync proto stompers with 15 other randoms. Academy newberries and veterans alike will agree to this. And if you say that those are your fav battles you are lying.
2.Faster queues. I've gone to buy groceries in the time it takes to get into a match. I get to do 2-3 raids in Clash of clans (including timers to build armies) or play 1 full match of ARAM on League of legends.That's not something that should be possible. Scotty should never have existed in the first place. He was implementation because queues would take 15-20 min or more. But now with Scotty, no queue lasts more than 10 minutes [:D] but that doesnt mean you'll get put in a match.
I GUARANTEE you that if you fix these two things that afking will no longer be an issue. The only way to argue against afking is the defend this system of proto stomping q-sync matchmaking system and long queues and I have yet to meet someone that enjoys one if not both of these things. AFKING is part of this system. This isn't the first game to use this system. You have to change the system. Dont want to? Then accept afking.
You guys are talk. We all want to get rid of afking (even me). But no one is willing to put in the work. Because we know how hard it will be to fix those 2 simple things and if it were easy, it would've been done a long time ago

I'll throw another curve ball at you guys since clearly dont care about afking.....
It's not about the isk... it's about the SP. Setting a 0 isk payout makes no difference as long as i get my SP. And if you are gonna remove the time in battle based SP might as well remove the Passive SP too because a player shouldn't get SP when they are not logged on the ps3 let alone dust.
It's the equivalent to infantry trying to fix vehicles, none PC players trying to fix PC, and free to play players trying to fix AUR. You cannot fix what you do not understand.
Telling an AFKer to stop afking is just as bad as telling a homosexual to become straight or worse telling someone not acting their race to act their race (insert color/nationalities where race is).
Discrimination on a minority is wrong and you know it. At first it seemed you guys were trying to make the game a better place but this thread has turned into pages of bullying and discrimination.
You guys dont care about AFKers only yourself. Not one post is about helping them out. Making them better players. You just want to get rid of them and punish them. Might as well just hang them or make a firing squad of red/blue berries where all 31 players get to shoot at afker for a min or two after every match. I'm sure that will teach them. Make an AI that slurs at them everytime they dont do anything and tells them how their lives have no meaning and they should just suicide their clones or better BIOMASS their character.
While we are at it, add punishment for making mistakes too. Oh you didn't kill the guy that killed me? get 5 hour banned. Didn't defend a point, mercenary gets biomassed (and im talking about the character not the 1 clone). That other guy is using FOTM, perma banned all characters.
This mentality is not gonna make things better. So next time you come up with another idea that rewards you and punishes another player, ask yourself how that idea is gonna affect the AFKer. How is that idea gonna make the game better for AFKers? Stop being selfish. It's not all about you. Other people play the game too.
Also you forget that Afkers are players, not just some script of code that puts mercs in gm everytime. And the way you all treat afkers is unacceptable and shame on you. Just because you dont like what they do does not give you the right to bash on them. Have some consideration.
Lastly, in respond to "Again having a bunch of scrub vets AFKing is far more toxic than not getting a payout for the start gaming experience overall. "
There are more qq about scrub vets proto stomping than there is about afkers. Proto stomping q sych vets have literally made more than 10 players on the enemy side leave the match before it starts only to be filled by more randoms or the same players that left for them to leave again. That's what I consider being toxic to the game.
I have not seen an afker have such a big inpact.

I no longer AFK because I don't need the SP.
Yeah. I think people dont know but there was already a nerf to AFKers in terms of payout.
Average about 20k a loss and 40-50k a win. That's not even a proto suit.
