Well last evening I had to put in some overtime and work from home. I really wanted to corp battle. But either the corps that could field 8 players were been taken or we were getting 1 man corps. I got so bored I actually took a one man corp battle and went to fight him. Another buddy of mine joined the corp match and we were taking turns killing him.
The point of this;- Dust 514 gaming is got boring as ****. There is no real reason to play this game anymore except farm SP. So I decided to do just that while I had a few Baileys.
Match 1: Line Junction: I sat my ass right at the back very close to the red line where no one could snipe me or get me. I was reading some comics looking at my team get their ass whopped. We lost. My rewards;- 210000 ISK, 5 Logi Vk0 and 1 Limbus. Total match profit = 1 Million ISK give or take.
Match 2: Line Junction again: Repeat what I did in match 1. Got pub stompped again. Rewards: 80000 ISk and 1 Sigaris.
Match 3: Manus Peak: My favourtie map for snipping. Team stacked again. Sit my ass at the back. Team red lined. Rewards: 160000 ISk and 10 Balacs
This was pretty much the state the entire evening. Except for 1 game where I got no rewards I was minting by not playing.
Now why should I even bother to play this game and help out my team when I get the best rewards for doing nothing and there is not real incentive for me to do well during the match when I get better rewards for not doing a ****? With the new match making system there are only 2 outcomes;- either you get red lined or you red line the enemy. Either way it is boring as ****. I had ony 1 good game last night where the teams were evenly matched. Other than that it was pretty much lame.
With reasons like this AFK farming is justified. There is no real reason to even try and do good in this game anymore. I absolutely refuse to help thse blue dots anymore unless they get mics and have enough experience in the game.
To CCP: LOL. Do you think but putting an idle timer you are going to fix the problem? The problem is not with the gamers who AFK farm but with you CCP trying to band aid the game instead of fixing what is wrong at the core. There are so many ways to achieve this and so many suggestions have been put up. Do you think by putting in an idle timer you are gonna fix AFK farming? All I have to do is sit in a corner and keep crouching ever so often. And that is just one way of me not playing the game and farming SP. Heck I can also get a LAV and drive around the red line.
Stop bandaiding stuff instead of fixing it. The reason why people AFK farm is because they are bored of the game. Work towards increasing the gamers interest in the game rather than come up with ideas to band aid stuff. If it is band aided it can be glitched again too! |

Couldnt agree more. Thats why the thread. One of my boys goes 68-5 and gets only 12 K SP with boosters. **** that ****! |

semperfi1999 wrote:In truth they would easily eliminate AFK farming by switching their SP rewards around. 1 SP per second in game and 5 SP per WP in game. This would mean good players would max out faster and then stop paying pub matches and play more corp battles. Also I think they need to stop randomizing the salvage and make the salvage related to the number of warpoints.
IE WP of 0-500 no salvage at all, 500-1000 some salvage of the lower end items like adv nades, 1000-1500 adv suits and other adv lvl weaponry, 1500-2000 proto suits and weaponry, 2000-2500 high lvl vehicles and possible officer weaponry. Not to say what exactly you would get but those are the possibilites so you cant do really badly and end up with a tank or 2.
I really like this idea. Just the salvage bit based on WPs will be more than enough reason for me to get out there and kick ass. +1 |

@Knarf Black and @Ruby Heart: Guess what? Your childish behaviour is not gonna make me change what I am doing. I am gonna AFK farm the crap out of this game, get the best SP and rewards and do some other thing that is fun in the bargain. And when this game does get fun;- I will have more sp than you can ever imagine.
Enjoy! |

Good to know, I mean the pathetic 47 year old diabetic adult who is too lazy or mentally handicapped to pick up his controller and ACTUALL PLAY THE GAME, is the mature one. Let's not forget that he likes to blame others(CCP) for his ill actions and behavior while all the while claiming it to be justified.
You convinced me bro, you are way more mature than we are.
ROTFLMFAO. Love the trolls. If you would have checked my stats you would have seen I have over 5000 kills and a KD of 9.6 with over 500000 WPs.
I am putting up this thread after all that and over 1 year in the beta. Guess what? Nothing changes. I am still gonna AFK farm with my main and all my alts. I am gonna abuse the **** out of this feature and put up ways to work around CCPs band aids so more people can AFK farm effectively. Heck;- I am gonna start a chat channel called AFK Farmers so what we can all share our various AFK farming tips there .
Till the game gets fixed or better |

You cant stop me. And the MCC is the worst place to AFK farm. If your team looses it can blow up. I know cool locations in all maps where you can AFK farm without having to worry about the MCC blowing up.
I really need to try gunners idea of the rubber band on the controller. I got a leading controller that would really with with AFK farming. |

Knarf Black wrote:I just literally can't understand how your attitude could be conducive to actually enjoying the game.
Thats because the game has become less enjoyable. Call it beta burnout. Call it anything you want to. People like me have been playing this game for over a year. I bet most of the people in this game dont even know about the PS3 hard freeze issues. People have actually lost PS3s beta testing this game.
That is our dedication to the game.
And then we have these ******* noobs coming in crying nerf this and nerf that and OP this and OP that rather than adapting to the ******* game. If CCP practises what they preach about HTFU they should tell these numnuts to HTFU and adapt to the ******* game.
Instead CCP is trying to band aid a broken game that people will easily find ways around. Its an absolute disrespect to all those gamers who put in a year of their ******* lives into this game. And to make it worse these dumb ******* noobs come in and start preaching the Gospel. SoonGäó. Its a Beta. etc etc. and they really dont have a ******* clue of what needs to be done or what they need to do. In game and out of game.
Now do you get my bitchy attitude? |

Fox Gaden wrote:Since I regularly loose massive quantities of dropsuits and equipment getting my butt kicked by the best Corps in the game in Corp battles for no Skill Points, War Points, or Isk reward, the idea of going AFK in a Pub match where I might be able to accomplish something is completely foreign to me. Perhaps if you are not enjoying the game right now you should take a break and come back in six months when it offers more variety and content.
If you stay away a day or in this case a week you get behind. As a competitive gamer I cant afford that. AFK farming is the next best thing when the game is not fun anymore. |

LOL. When are you gonna get real and have people looking up to you instead of looking up to people. Thats the whole problem with scrubs. They always look up to someone and get disappointed when the people who they look up to let them down.
Guess what? We are Mercs. We dont look up to anyone! Period! The only thing we look forward to is money and 0.0 is where it lies. **** pubs!
Dont look up to the people in the top corps. Learn against them or roll with them. |

How can I learn to "roll" with them if you're hanging out AFK in the MMC. See my comment above. SA: You hang out with them in the MCC and see how much ISK and Salvage you get in the end. The you squad up with them and do the same thing every game
