Prehaps a Performance based salvage, isk and SP might work

AFK farming is the result of CCP tying time spent in matches to SP rewards rather than SP rewards being performance based.

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.

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.

Im AFKing right now. Getting my SP while i work from home like a bawz.

Oh and idle timer meet rubber band on right stick=doing 360s in the MCC

The OP and the couple of guys below him are some of the most worthless crybaby nerds I've seen on these forums. You want a fix to stop you from camping in the MCC like a B%tch? Would you like some sort of magical remedy for your obesity too?

Here's a suggestion you f#cks. Stop doing it! Fixed.

The game isnt broken or boring

@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!

Oh we're the childish ones!? 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.

Joke's going to be on you in a year when you're still not having fun. Just sayin'

all matches end up with one side redlined? really hmmmmm

I have about 1 in 5 games redline the rest it usually fairly good matches where points passed back and forth - granted most the games one side will on average more points so they slowly pull ahead untill un reachable (this needs to be fixed currently only way to catch up is if you manage to curb stomp and abelt o push the current winners all way back to redline and keep it even then that doesnt always work and isnt very common accurence anyway i digress)

about 1/5 of my matches also end very close 10 clone difference, one point on mcc difference, once i had match where blues were just about to win with good margin on mcc health with only one last bar on red mcc when the redberries had huge push and managed to bring the clone count down and just pull a win - was great game even though we lost.

in these games where it is close or not a redline I see one common thing- no one is afk farming in the mcc or any other location (as far as i can tell obviously cant see if any redberries hiding but im assuming) those games that redline are because 2/3 sometimes more are afk/redline fail sniping if you people got off your miserable asses and stop moaning
"the games no fun and is broken and ect" then you might get some good matches.

When one side has a numbers advantage even small one it starts to count in the battle sizes we have now.
when we are having battles over 52 people then fine go hide in your corner we dont need you anymore 1/2 missing doesnt matter as much.

The game isnt broken or boring its your attitude and your lazyness to try and enjoy a game rather then to be given a rolercoster where all you have to do is sit there with your hands in the air hoping that sign when you got on was just boring health and safety bullshit

sorry just no. no justification for AFK farming. oh great! now we will have 50% of games where only 4 guys play while the other 80% sit in the MCC farming. isnt actually playing better? i bet the op talks crap abt redline snipers too. atleast they play!! kind of.

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.

I do it in the MCC, doesnt matter if it blows up doesnt cost you a life because the game has ended before your death registers.

I have my active and passive boosters running for 11 months. By then I will have over 28 million SP to invest in whatever I want to invest in. Wont make a difference. I will still kick your ass.

I just literally can't understand how your attitude could be conducive to actually enjoying the game.

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.

...People were exploiting by crashing LAV's and repping them.
Rather than fix the problem CCP capped skill points per week
...
If you fixed the rep exploit correctly in the first place you would have many more happy customers.

I concur,

People were exploiting by crashing LAV's and repping them.

Rather than fix the problem CCP capped skill points per week. Hmm like thats going to stop scum like exploiters, only way to stop exploiting is take a hard line on it and ban the fools.

So exploiters are still here and they only have a small inconvenience now they can only exploit x ammount per week instead of unlimited sp.

So we now get afk sp grinders


CCP try to stop this by having an inactive timer.

Exploiters are still here so guess what......

They will find away to expoit the inactivity timer, ie press a button every few mins, run at a wall etc.



CCP please fix issue, no business ever suceeded by creating work arounds, fix the issue and ban exploiters simple quick and effective. Leave the potential to exploit until you can fix it properyly. Just make it clear anyone abusing will be banned.


CCP have annoyed the player base with the CAP, they annoyed the player base with the afk farming, and this will continue.


if you fixed the rep exploit correctly in the first place you would have many more happy customers. now you only suceeded in keeping X exploiters at the expence of X squared potential customers.

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?

Not even slightly, and I've been here since Replication, too. Perhaps you should consider some deep breathing exercises.

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.

Sex is way better man. What do you think I am doing when I am AFK farming?

'we are looking into it'

quote from the mouth of CCP Nullabor seconds ago on twitter. your time is almost up. enjoy your fun while it lasts.

It's so bad that I simply queue Ambush and have fun there.

~Peace

The sad thing is...you guys (The top corps in game) are very skilled, and do have a large following of players that look up to you.

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.

Glad we could help, ambush is where it's at for all the cool kids.

I actually have to agree with you here

A. 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.

B. 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!

C. Dont look up to the people in the top corps. Learn against them or roll with them.

Let's see so what I gathered in this elitist crybaby thread is:

1. I'm butthurt because I should be rewarded more than the average joe or pubby because I get more WP's therefore I should get way more SP.

2. I'm butthurt because I got killed in the face by a pubby in my pimp gear, so why bother fighting if I can stand in the MMC and get good SP than the poor pubby that is actually trying to play the game.

3. Im butthurt because if I queue solo without my buds I might get shot in the face and look bad to this community of 14 year olds that idolize me. I can stand in the MMC all match long and safe face by creating threads to redirect the real issue at hand.
3a. I'm a whiny brat.
3b. I'm immature.
3c. KDR is boss, screw team play.
3d. I think KDR will increase my length by 2 inches giving me 4 inches total.


Serious tip.

I'm enjoying the game, i'm probably mediocre at best ...I win some I lose some. The one thing that I can't take is losing a Skirmish when I have 7 or 8 on my team pretending to snipe AFK or hanging out in the MMC. Just play the damn game people, and have some fun.

The sad thing is...you guys (The top corps in game) are very skilled, and do have a large following of players that look up to you. When you AFK in games and post this crap here then others follow. The AFKing is at an all time high in the last week since I've been playing. It's so bad that I simply queue Ambush and have fun there.

~Peace

a. I only look up to people that I respect. If you don't play the game, I don't respect you.
SA : DILLIGAF
b. Your own opinion.
SA: Its not an opinion. Its a statement. Big difference.
c. 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

best post ever.

Yes because it makes sense not to fix a broken game mechanic.
