DUST Search - AFK farming in squads, brainstorming

my issue is im not being rewarded for playing the game i can do nothing and still make the same SP, the 1500 extra is not incentive, this whole system is fail resulting in us afkin for the sake of the eve player gaining passive sp or w/e, so in a way it's a protest against a failed experimental system in place for not rewarding us for doing well in the game while incentive to camp the MCC with mysterious bonus SP is in place. and dont no one start on me with that "bigger picture meta gaming" non sense were stuck in limbo here, there is no meta game unless u call the travesty of 8 vs 8 epic.

no ones trying to ruin pub match game here, if your expecting some randoms to carry you thru a pub match your doing it wrong. that seems to be the biggest problem of ppl vs afkers, because the afkers are not helping to win? the afkers are in protest of a failed system they are not trying to ruin the game, they're trying to prove that the system is failed incentives to play the match. the system does not work from an FPS standpoint. you make stupid systems they get explouted- thats the nature of online gaming.

I have that fit, although I usually use it for actually playing the game... ...this is a fascinating idea though. Read as: "CCP, when are you going to go after AFK farming in Dust?!"

Not exactly. CCP forbids botting and encourages (tacitly) activities like Hulkageddon, which is a player-led ganking event designed to kill AFK miners. EVE does not have a redzone. Even in hisec (heavily policed star systems), it is possible to suicide gank very expensive ships in very cheap ships. Without friendly fire, there is no way whatsoever for players to punish farmers. I'm not saying that CCP needs to get out the ban hammer, just that redzone and (especially) MCC camping need to deprive people of SP.

Admittedly, I can understand AFK farming as the only sort of "Jita Riots" that we can manage on Dust. However, I also call QQ on the notion that people who suck at "doing well in the game" should earn a piitance of SP, ISK, and Salvage. Without a PVE learning experience, noobs have no options except pub matches. Could it use rebalancing? Sure, but that rebalance needs to be balanced for both uberplayers and casuals, otherwise the game is dead in the water commercially. Of course, once we can control districts, doing well will be far more rewarding (financially) than stinking.

Dear Devs, You said you were tracking the AFK farming issue and actively working on a fix. My first suggestion is to track this Jerk (tm) and find out if he is A: Trolling, B: A fine example of Seraphin, C: Actually AFK farming. Regardless of what you find, my previously emailed suggestion should be applied to Any character from the email addresses associated with this individual and possibly all associated IP address as mentioned. Yes, the included Google search will help with the task. Enjoy yourselves now that you have found a target for your experiments. Actually, Kal, this brings up an interesting point. I'm not a litigious person and have no intent to do anything; BUT, if a hypothetical corporation like ScIdama were to sell "Active Oomphers" that increased a person's yield for playing the game... ... And this ScIdama corporation knew that some people were exploiting loopholes in the game to increase their yield without actually playing... ... Might not all of the people who bought "Active Oomphers" and who were unable to achieve maximum yield because they refused to use said exploit have a viable class action suit for financial damages based on ScIdama's failure to actively attempt to stop abuse of the exploit? Again, I don't want ScIdama to get sued by anybody because it would hurt my ability to play an awesome game called Mud 2345 that they are developing. I just want them to stop the exploit AT ALL COSTS.

What makes it worst is that you are forced to go through that in order to gain your weekly allotment of SP. Tough kitten. You are not entitled to a "weekly allotment of SP", you are capped, not allotted. Heavens, THIS garbage just proves why a cap is needed. Devs, the smell of entitlement in AFK farming is starting to seep through my dropsuit's air filters... ...please bring the ban hammer.
