I've asked this of several people before (and I think you may have been one of them. Still waiting on an answer.

Source?

The stress test already happened. .

The idle mechanic and the distance traveled mechanic will put an end to this one. When implemented, if you do not engage or get engaged with an enemy in a set time, you will get booted with 0 isk and 0 sp..

I understand the reason. Afkers are selfish dbags who care only about themselves and their stats, and look down on other players to the point they think it's ok to screw the team over in order to pad their sp.

Did I miss something?

You anti-AFK'ers are the ones who wants to change the rules and limit how others play the game so you can have a better experience? Now who's being selfish?

I'm sorry but what?

You'd have to move around on the map or fight someone to not get kicked? That's BS Level 5 with BS Profficiency Level 1.

There are plenty and I mean PLENTY of different things that would cause players to get kicked because they don't adhere to this crap.

Sniping- Technically you're not engaging the enemy
Logistics- Your main job is to support.
Mapping- You're active but you're feeding your team info by looking at the Tactnet Map.
Hiding- Nuff said
And then some.

I'm pretty sure those rules aren't official and if they were these forums would be set-a-blaze with players crying tears of flames. Me included.

lol, you must really hate the redline.

lulz, this is still going on? CCP will never put a kick method based on warpoints.. wanna know why? because every fresh blueberry that doesnt know how to play the game yet will be kicked from the game and give up.

Wanna make the game interesting and keep people from AFKing or redline sniping? Then CCP can choose from multiple good ideas that are already on this forum

- Time limit for how long you can be behind the redline (couple minutes at least)
- No WP for actions taken behind the redline
- Move the redline back

Honestly, I think that they need to give a larger bonus for hacking a letter and WP for de-hacking. There should also be a bonus for being within a certain radius of the hacked letter as that will give blueberries more incentive to be in the thick of things. CCP needs to stop catering to the lowest common denominator. If they want noobs to have a chance, then they need to make a game mode or area that can only be accessed if you are below a certain amount of SP.

If you want something to change then come up with a solution instead of whining or nobody is going to take your seriously.

When blueberries steal my tank and cost me over 2 million a game they have to suffer me hogging up a slot while i AFK farm isk to make that tank back. Also if the blueberries are stupid enough to spawn on my drop uplinks then hey i will take those free SP's to.

I see these dudes on the score sheet before the match and think cool, same side as the imperfects, but they are gun fighting in MCC the whole game. They go 0-0 to what, farm sp/isk.

Well thanks a ton, because somebody willing to fight could have taken your spots. Inconsiderate.

it's called having burned out on pub matches

???

when I'm burned out, I don't turn the game on.

Then you will lose out on active SP.

I have a better question, why is it always the players who are like 1-4 or worse who are the ones that try to suicide the AFKers? You cannot feel entitled to me playing when your individual performance is so detrimental to the team. Maybe if those people AFKed I would actually put some effort in on skirmish anymore.

WTH do people get so worked up when I am AFK?

PROTIP: get over it. I'm tired of laughing at the responses

Who the hell are you. I guess we can't all be perfect like you. I've been playing for a little over a month and I go 0-6 alot. That's because I try to help take over game space, and I don't have the skills or equipment to compete. But I try and don't just stand in one place. The only way to learn is to keep trying, than maybe we can all be as good as you!!!

when I'm burned out, I don't turn the game on.

There is definately a period of time where you have to get used to Dust regardless of skill, but if youre still going 0-6 a lot after a month Im sorry to tell you, but you just arent very good at this game. You likely just need to improve your tactics and how you try to "take over game space," but me playing instead of AFKing is not going to help you do that.

...unless you're running dedicated Logi.

In Ambush, if I can die 6 times, but save 20 clones, I consider that going positive in spite of 0 kills.

In Skirmish, if I can keep a Heavy alive through sustained fire from multiple enemies, and he can hold half the enemy team down while we're hacking A, my death to a Sniper soon after wasn't a game-changer.

"Dedicated logi" is nothing more than an excuse for not being very good. Ive played games with a skinweave logi well after reset and still managed to go something like 9-1 AND doing all my logi duties. If you had actually been shooting back you may not have even had to pick up half of those 20 clones. If you suppressed/killed the enemy they may have not even gotten shot down to start with. A good logi kills as much, if not more, than they save.
