I've been doing extensive playtesting on afk farming (over half my games easily). I'm looking for ideas to get the most out of it.

Variation 1(skirmish): spawn in MCC, drop uplink in far direction so all keyboard users are tempted to spawn in it, afk.
Variation 2(ambush): spawn, kill reds, drop uplink in a hidden corner, hide and go afk.

Variation 2 requires more work, but produces more loot based on your hiding luck. Variation 1 is pretty certain loot per game, but long duration.

Tip for afkers: A squad seems like the perfect solution; as the leader can rotate and games get shorter. Afking in a squad would also bypass the war barge wait and just accommodate you to click MCC spawn if you notice. My alt "afk farming" will always accept squad requests, add if interested.

Share ideas to improve the yield, please :)

Why would you post this garbage. Don't give people any ideas

the droplink actually works, i scored a 100 WP in the MCC with one they were spawning at it for whatever reason

also a logi with 3 nanohives for the ragers friendly firing the AFKers, make sure they have enough ammo up there

maybe i'll make a logi with 2 nanos and a droplink..

And people wonder why I want friendly fire. (facepalm)

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?!"

A duct tape setup for getting WP is a bit on the verge of exploiting. Afk farming is the kind of entrepreneurship where you sign up for anti-piracy protection on a ship and just don't move a finger when **** hits the fan. I can see bad entrepreneurship all over new Eden, heck its even in that future vision trailer where lazy mercs get the reset button from a dread on orbit.

There is no idle timer kick currently except when waiting for a spawn.

When do I afk farm, one might ask. Let's put it like this: I don't play dust to afk. I afk to play dust with better guns. Just picked a fresh batch of Thales, while watching tv.

So it's more in the vein of a merc who kicks back because he's hourly and the client is dumb enough to pay just as well for a job not done, caveat emptor? i think I see the distinction and that's fair enough, but this kind of "ethical AFK'er" approach isn't a group charter.

Exploiters gonna exploit, and while they ruin the game for some CCP inadequately addressing the issue ruins the game for more.

CCP wholly endorses AFK activities in EVE so this is not really any different.

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.

congrats you are right below child molesters on my list of the worst types of people.

Lazy scum bag brags about not being able to play a game.
