AFK farm and do something else to get your sp
Play a stale build that's boring as **** just to get your sp
I know which one I choose

pretty much how I feel about the current situation. as well as the many people AFK farming.

exactly how i feel. games have just become boring at the moment. sniping is ridiculous and is heavy mass driving to score easy points much more different than sitting in the mcc? how about someone sitting in the red zone with a thale sniper going 63/0 in a heavy with an alt logi crouched behind him with the trigger taped down (oh yup i've heard of it being done) we can b***h and whine about sitting in the mcc afk but there are times when i just get sick of my squad being only one on field whiel every other enemy and team mate are sat in hills sniping or firing mass rounds here there and everywhere

I really wish the AFKers would leave the game already. They're just going to get bored and sell their characters on the black market in the end anyways.

They're like wacky ****** addicts who happen to hate being stoned. They shoot up and then fall asleep until its over.

CCP make a good game, we would have less AFK farming.

This current build is slow, boring and stupid. New games are coming out, Defiance being one of them. April 2nd is do or die CCP, get your stuff together or prepare for the mass exodus.

The AFK whining is simply propaganda. People just hate no lifers and people that try and get the max SP possible. The people of new eden know that afk farming is a part of the culture. If it was such a huge issue ccp would have hot fixed it when it became a problem. Get over it people.

Unlike EVE, afk players in DUST directly hurt everyone else playing, on their team anyways.

AFK farming is the product of CCPs flawed game types and skill point system, here's hoping for a fix sometime soon.

Coming from a goon? You guys try and do anything you can to find ways to break the game and hurt everyone you can in eve. When we do it in dust beta suddenly we are the baddies? This is new eden. Dust needs to be treated with the same standards. If I could I could smash and grief my whole team some games I would. Yes that would be hurting the team but it would also be griefing and it is a part of new eden. Explain to me how this is that much different?


Really we are hurting our team so much more then all the people goons grief in EVE?

Is it hurting the beta? Yes.

Is that really our fault for abusing a broken system in a beta where we are supposed to be testing? No, If there weren't so many AFKers then the problem might not have not gotten fixed for a long time. You can thank the AFKers for the AFK fix coming soon.

Well at least griefing takes some form of effort. AFK farming is just for people who....man I don't even know what to call you guys. But yes, you're "testing", I'm sure.

So there really is not much of a difference in what we do other then effort. Are you sure you are not just mad that I get to farm tears while watching schoolgirls get it on with a tentacle monster. You should try it sometime. 500 shields so that idiots keep blowing themselves up trying to tk. Its much easier then trying to grief people by blowing yourself up.

Try the AFK tears. The tentacle monster is optional.

I know some good sites if you want that tentacle monster in HD ;)

I watch it for the plot.

If you want to AFK farm SP and ISK that's your right. It's also the right of everyone else to look down upon you guys because you are making the matches worse for everyone else. Battles on Wednesday are more like 12v12 instead of 16v16.

It's an advantage you can use and there is no punishment other than the scorn you will get from the rest of the community. I find it funny the four people defending it as something that is not bad in any way are all in negative feedback, big surprise. Anything that helps you get an advantage regardless of what it does to the community. You guys are on the path of the demon, power at any cost.

Have some respect for the game and play it, or if you are tired of the game don't.

Tired? I'm tired of ALL fps's. At least this one if I keep at it it may pay off in the future. If you don't like the afk farming it pettition to CCP to get it fixed faster. Hating on people for taking advantage of things in front of them and literrally HANDED TO THEM is silly.

Imps as well as every top corp BEGGED CCP to reconsider how SP is gained with this slight patch. We understand they'll fix it later - but this was half assed even after all the focus they put on it by turning it into a vote. Part of that vote should of been for or against SP per second, but they didn't. They ignored every one of our warnings. If someone gave me a hundred dollars for working hard at work one day then I'm told for 75% of that I could just stand there and do nothing and still get paid - I would - damn the other co-workers who feel they need to work harder to make up for the lack - that's there emotional burden they put on themselves that should of been the burden of our cooperation who had such a dumb rule.

My personal opinion is that Skrim is trash to begin with and is nearly unplayable. So stick to ambush anyways lol AFK farming isn't possible there ;)

There are two kinds of people who play games.

Lets say there was a glitch in the game that gave you god mode.

1. You take full advantage of it. You God mode and ruin the game for everyone else. You take no personal responsibility for your choice, instead you cry how you hate godmode but since it's in the game you can take no blame for your own personal choice to use it.

2. You don't use god mode and hope that other players will also respect what the game is supposed to be enough not to use it so you don't have games ruined by selfish players.

If you are going to take advantage of broken mechanics for your own selfish reasons at least admit it. I respect that you can at least admit you care more about getting money than you care about accomplishing things and earning respect for what you do. It makes sense that you would care more about SP than what you do on the battlefield if you are in that state of mind.

Don't speak about AFK farming as some cutting edge strategy or amazing exploit. Goons earned their positioning and influence through gameplay. You are just to lazy to show up to fight and you still want your cookie for the battle.

Also it's funny that you are the one telling me to harden the **** up when you are to afraid to accept a challenge from me Crimson Moon V. If you actually start playing this game again let me know I'm still up for the 1v1 match you wanted, well you wanted until I agreed.

I already told you lets do this. You are the idiot that wants to have kain involved who isn't even in my corp in a beta where we can't even trade trade. Are you stupid or something? Kain was in the middle of the tourney when you came up with that idea.

Put up a contract and I will gladly smash you.

Lol.. oooooooooo you got called out crimson!

Better not back down moonV

I will be happy to be your second

This post isn't like you at all Deadeyes. We're lazy to show up to fights? The place where battles matter - Corp Battles - every corp is too afraid to play the Imps in. The ones who do accept defeat before they even play - besides PFBH.

I'll take that 1v1 if you want btw ^_^ I'm an HMG heavy in Type-B with a Type-A suit for fluxer that uses Boundless. Should be a cake walk for a high end assault player. Especialy since it's just 1v1 you can just... run and shoot from a distance?

1v1's only make sense against the same class/type

I said lets make it a 50 million contract 1 vs 1 in skirmish and he backed down. He wanted Kain to hold our money while kain was busy running the tourney. He doesn't want to bet more then 10 million.

The eve side betting on 1 vs 1 is an interesting idea.

Lets do a 1 vs 1 tourny and let me knock out deadeyes in the first round.

I don't understand you want to do 1 vs 1 an ambush? That's not going to work. If you want to 1 vs 1 we need to put up a contract so we have the map to ourselves. Sorry if you don't trust us but that's how we would have to do it.

Only reason I'm calling Crimson out was because he sent like 20 hate mails to me after I blew him up in our MCC talking about how trash I am so I wanted an opportunity to take him on.

I'm not saying Imps don't show up to fight. I even told Crimson I would only 1v1 because an 8v8 wouldn't even be sporty at this point for us. I'm saying AFK players are not showing up to fights in that statement.

Should always wear the fat suit while afking.
I watch blueberries try to blow me up while I'm at work. Makes my day knowing they died for stupidity

Haha all I said was nobody AFK's my MCC's. You went bonkers after that, anyways If you want to do this match I'm down. If you want to put money on it you know my conditions. I'm free tomorrow after 5 EST.

Also yes I made as ass out of myself trying to kill you a second time, I didn't know the friendly explosions had to be so spot on to inflict friendly fire.

Your conditions are stupid. How is kain supposed to hold my isk. He is in another corp. We can't trade. I am not going to waste my time if I am not going to get anything out of it. I know you might not remember me but I have played against you at least 10-15 times. You have only killed me once out of all the times I killed you and I have never seen you do anything impressive.

Don't lie your messages were full of precious butthurt crying about me being a garbage AFK farmer. Your trash kid, stop wasting my time and put up a contract. We both know how this is going to end anyways.

Deadeye - when are you going to join a real corp? Dispite what Crimson says you're much better then most blue berries and better then at least half the vets I know. The whole going up against Imps should make you quiet popular too - did wonders for me back in the day lolol

Join a real corp so I can see you in CB properly.

It's kind of a hard spot for me Crimson Ravens are my battle brothers for Killzone 3, Battlefield 3, and just about every other game I've played in the last two years. I'm still hoping we can get more players into Dust we have a few hundred in the clan playing mostly other games atm. Nearly everyone is sticking with the old AAA polished FPS's. I'm hoping CSR can get a strong force going before Corp battles actually matter.

I happen to like you and would prefer to see you expand your game a bit by joining up with a decent corp. It's awesome you've brothers like that - but if the corp you guys create is going to take a long time to properly set up my advice is use a top corps image to bolster your own reputation so you have grounds in which to recruit people who aren't terrible.

It's good advice and something I've been putting a lot of thought into recently. I know that if I don't get into good Corp battles before they actually matter I'm going to be paying for down the road. Iron sharpens Iron after all.

Exactly. It would be pretty cool to see you in corp matches. I've seen you play and would vouche that you're good enough to join any top corp. ZionTCD probably has a lack of End Game skilled players - I'd suggest joining there public channel and squading up with them or any top corp before making a jump. It may be important to join one for your future endevours - but you should still look for that right one for you.

Also - I know a lot of the top corp player base - hella fun guys. You'd enjoy the game more if over your comms people are enjoying the game while theory crafting. Nothing better then sharing a gaming interest with people who share your enthusiasm.

What is up of late with the mass AFK'ers on skirmish?

Is there even any form of matchmaking here or is Fate being a jerk by continuously placing me with the 'special school' players.
The few that do try something just seem to doing jack ****,like they never even held a controller in their life.

I'm not commonly into ranting over lost matches,but this is just getting ridiculous.

Every match ive played has had nothing but afk'ers,on both sides at that.
I just happened to have the bad streak of luck to be on the side with the MOST afk'ers.

I think its high time we need some form of matchmaking selection getting implemented,or at the very least an AFK-kick function.
A set time of inactivity to trigger a countdown warning and match kick afterwards.

Mass drivers take skill especially at long ranges so if someone is hiding on the edge of the map getting loads of kills with an MD at long range he has exceptional aim and must by psychic to predict where players are going to be in the 3seconds it takes for the round to reach them. That is if the enemy is moving because only the terminally stupid stand still if they know a long range MD is covering the area they are in.
