this is very simple random afk timer. after 2-3 minutes of no actions on the character. it gets kicked and loses all SP for that match. or black list so players can report people afking and they get the smack down by concord or a fine

So if a player can earn SP/ISK per time in the game and never have to leave the red line, why would they?

Just bringing this up because if it is time related, people in a skirmish that are getting red lined or bad at game and just dont want to mess with it (pick one). They can just sit in the back with no danger and hit the daily cap everyday... CCP did you think about this kind of AFK farming?

Passive SP for standing around in a match is suddenly a problem because of the daily SP cap, and made obvious by the imbalance between the passive (time) and active (WP) points awarded.

Don't have time to play due to other obligations? Just boot up the game and queue up a Skirmish match where you can stand around in your spawn. Check back on your merc every so often to put him in another match as you study or take care of your daily chores. That way you keep up with your cap and you get your real world obligations taken care of.

Need to move every so often? Get your kid to shuttle your merc back and forth, or build a modded controller to randomly twitch. I'm pretty sure someone could implement that with M/K pretty easily. It would generate an interesting arms race between CCP and SP farmers that would waste everyone's time.

Or...

CCP could simply implement a rolling SP cap, dump the time SP, multiply the WP/SP conversion, and double the result for the winning team. Imagine what would happen if you actually incentivized the behavior you wanted?

How about if your character does not move for move then 3 minutes you get kicked with out SP or ISK.
If you spend more than X amount of time in the red line you forfeit your position on the team i.e. kick no SP no ISK.
If more then X % of your team are camping behind the red line, your entire team forfeit the match.

I can't see this being a big problem in corp v corp matches, Any corp that's worth it's salt in battle would not do this, well at least I hope they wouldn't, doesn't seem like a sound tactic to me anyhow.

The daily SP cap is so low that all these doesn't really matter. It just isn't possible to AFK grind SP because you'll reach SP cap so fast that the process can't be called grind.

for **** s sake theres been passive sp for a couple builds now and its not been a problem. soSTFU

There has been passive SP since the beta went live brother. But this is a different kind of passive. You get SP per second for being in a game whether you do anything or not, that is the difference.
