I don't like the fact I have given up on AFKing, it feels like I have caved in to peer pressure. The objections to it seem so irrational and pathetic, I did literally smile when I noticed two people my team AFKed.
You honestly don't understand why people dislike those players who abstain from helping in a team based game? Let's use any team endeavor as an example, like a professional sporting event. Every player on each side will draw a contractually guaranteed salary for taking the field, regardless of their performance, with certain bonus incentives encouraging them to play at the highest level they can. Now imagine if a player on one team decided that they weren't going to participate in the game, that they are going to simply stand on the field while their team attempts to beat their opponent while playing at a disadvantage. For the purposes of this analogy keep in mind that this selfish player will still draw their basic salary. How would the teammates of this player feel about this decision?
It's difficult to say that games have a "Social Contract" in quite the same way the rest of society does, but considering that playing DUST is a completely voluntary endeavor and we're all here to have fun and compete with one another it strikes me as odd that some people would choose to AFK instead of enjoying the game.
In conclusion, I sincerely hope you're a troll.
Dust can be frustrating. (Gò»°Gûí°)Gò»n+¦ Gö+GöüGö+)

I'm going to assume this is a troll thread. I sure hope it is. It is not, I am genuinely confused, When I was trying to learn to fly dropships I was not helping my team win, I was crashing dropships but apparently this is not wrong . When I tried to learn how to use the plasma cannon I just gave the enemy team warpoints and apparently this is not wrong.
The key here is that you were trying, at least. You were trying to learn how to use tools to help your team. Sitting in the MCC taking up a spot on your team's roster isn't trying, it's giving up. Going 2/16, while it costs your team clones, is better than going 0/0 because it at least means you're attempting to help.

If it was an actual profession sporting event they would hate the person that just stood there in the same way as they would hate a player without natural ability, So I should hate players on my team without natural ability.
Your point is sonewhat valid, playing with unskilled players on your team is very frustrating. But a player that is selfish and lazy is worse by far. I will take clueless blueberries straight out of the academy over AFKers any day of the week.
