Step 3: Give 'em a hug.

Step 5: Profit

I heard that doesn't work anymore?

It doesn't work because most AFK farmers use Heavy suits now.

AFK in a heavy suit with armor plates

Lol

+1 That's what I use when I AFK Farm.

They don't want to play the game, but also don't want to miss out on the skill points. So they abuse a mechanic that ccp was dumb enough to put in.

I see it as the drug addicts on welfare. Hardworking people are paying for these slobs to reap the benefits.

Being compared to AFK farmers is offensive to both drug addicts and welfare recipients.

CCP didn't "put it in" it was obviously a game mechanic glitch that idiots are taking advantage of. I think if you go 0 and 0 you should get no isk or skill points.

ive seen a few random ppl call a tank and go sit in the back somewhere, then afk for the rest of the match with a 0/0/0 score. I'm tempted to see if calling a lav on top of the tank still kills both vehicles.

No its not an in game glitch. Its the result of CCP putting in their SP gain system of 5 SP per second and 1 SP per WP. The second they said this it was predicted that PPL would AFK farm because you get 70-75% of your SP from time in game not from how well you do. I have said it before and I will say it again. To stop this you have to make it not worthwhile. If you make 1 WP = 5 SP and 1 sec = 1 SP then you will have fixed the vast majority of the problem. Why AFK farm for a measly 1000-1500 SP when if you play a good game you will get 10,000 to 15,000 SP in a single match? This is the change that needs to be made. Until that change is made I cannot blame the people who decide to AFK farm in the MCC because it is so profitable.

Look at it another way. People AFKing for SP are on the edge of leaving for good. You are noticing that a lot of the "veteran" players do this lately. What does that tell you about the health of the playerbase?

hopefully they remove the free sp/isk and find a better matchmaking method (not a tweek) in the next build. The next build can't come soon enough.

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.

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.

The difference is that they are trying.

By signing up to the fight there is an expectation that you will fight. Anything less is, well, pathetic.

What is pathetic is having to do more than 50% of your teams work for them. I cant even count the number of games that I personally would have something like 20-3 with 2000 or more WPs capping letters left and right without a squad just so the rest of my team could **** the match away with most of them having 500 or less WPs. That is doggone pathetic! Especially when we still lose and the enemies MCC didnt even get out of shield. Why should I put in any effort when the rest of the team is not putting in any LEGITIMATE effort? So far as I know theres people on my team throwing the match intentionally to help a friend on the other side, hows that for an exploit? Stop crying about it, use your head for more than a tacnet display, and maybe the rest of us will hit the ground and help the team win.

weak ass stat padders cant keep up with their image so they just all stand around afk on the map either in the MCC or far off in spawn where nobody will find them.

solution: call in an LAV and push them into the redline so they get auto kicked.

Spoken like a true loser. Thanks for making my point for me.

Good players don't hide in the mcc. Players hiding in the mcc are, by definition, bad players regardless of stats.

Either play or don't play, but leaching off the blueberries for sp because you are too leet to bother with the actual game is, as I said earlier, pathetic.

If we want to talk about by definition then you are obviously ignorant. Stop crying because we refuse to do your work for you and are letting yall do the work for us for a change.

justify my sloth

We sloths need no justification!

This game has become boring, repetitive, and old and CCP is very slow at delivering anything new that would keep vets playing instead of farming.

Soon Gäó is not cutting it any longer!

However since there will be no SP reset the Vets have to keep up with the SP cap and what better way to max your cap but not have to play a very boring redline fest than sit in the MCC and farm.

Blame CCP not the players.

BTW if you jump up onto the half walls in the MCC you can not get team killed by a cooked grenade either.

was just in a match with 4 players mcc sp farming

0/0
0/0
0/0
0/0

needs to stop

When the menu jams and I cant choose a suit and I get kicked from the game, I lose isk and sp and yet these fools get rewarded.

to everyone who hate AFK farmers.... YOU ARE BAD. first of all CCP cause this to happen not the farmers, blame CCP. second, if you cant even pull your own weight you shouldn't rely on the better players to win the match for you. if you are good enough you should be able to pull your whole team. third, stop playing by yourself idiots. if you have a squad thats 3 other people you can count on to carry the team. or maybe i just play with very good people and everyone cant do what we do....hmm well get good

What if you just don't get the kills or deaths because the other team is all hiding on their barge? You should still get the sp for looking for them right?

EDIT for Completeness:
If I remember correctly, the current SP/WP system was "voted" on by the players. This was a request to make it easier on the new players who are just starting up to get up to a slightly competitive level of fitting ability before their hairs all go grey and fall out due to the vast difference in the abilities of a LV5 anything and a LV1/2. I think that the system isn't as broken as some of you think. Consider a 2000+ WP per match player vs a 250 WP per match new player. At 5 sp per WP that's 10000+ WP+ booster, vs 1000 sp to the new player. Yes the player that is higher skilled is going to increase his SP pool quicker, yes the new player didn't do as much for the team as a whole in the match, but 250wp=10 assists to the player with 2000 wp. Each kill being 50 wp means that he had 40 kills. That is four times more than that new player getting the assists off the Skilled player who has been playing the game for a good amount of time and possible 10 times where that new player save the skilled player's butt by putting rounds into other players that died later with less starting armor or shields than if they were in a fresh suit.

I bet that anyone who has played this game for over a month on a regular 3-5 days/week has seen their fair share of assists and has often finished off more than one player quickly to go and finish off another player afterwards while the new player is either dead or taking cover. Don't be too quick to write off the 5sp/sec rule. It is there so the new guys/gals can get into Duvolles or Tanks or whatever you currently believe is unfair when used against you, to help you and your team come out on top.

If you think the mechanic is broken because of the number of people going afk, consider this, CCP has yet to give us pool tables and cards in the MCC. They aren't there for lounging in they are there for deployment. The real question I have is if they are being used as a lounge to chat or just afk in, then why is the character playing, PSN Home would most likely be a better place to AFK in.

Attitude is everything, I believe in throwing myself in the line of fire to protect my team mates, even if it costs me a suit or 10, not stepping up and taking control of your merc destiny by participation in the battles is a sure way to lose your edge, respect, and a whole lot of isk when/if friendly fire is put in play.

Kinda shocking people admiting there AFK grinders, can someone make a list of all these idiots names so when i get in a match i know who won't be pulling there weight so i can do extra for the team.

To all those people that say "blue dots are ********" or " i went 20-3 and capped 3 objectives by myself with no support so i give up"
-Really so you assume before the match that all the blue dots won't do anything or they will be ******** so ill just sit in the MCC?
so your feeding to your own logic by sitting in the mcc in the first place.
-Ya blue dots can be ******** sometimes, its your job to show leadership, and motivate them as well as push that extra bit. Did you ever hop onto team chat? even though there many not be anyone there, you can communicate your tactics Example "Everyone needs to rush B, everyone rush B now" or if you have 2 letters on the 3 letter map "Hold the letters don't attack A, i repeat hold C and B don't push for A" or if your low on clones but winning on MCC damage and have majority letters "Every hold the letters, and revive downed solider, we can win this by MCC damage" Simply by doing this and calling out your tactics or your squads tactics can get blue dots motivated and organised.

As the system sits right now its broken: i think they should keep the 5wp=1sec, but for every lets say for every million skill points you get you get 1 wp taking away (example if you have 1 million sp you only get 4wp=sec in battle) but that 1wp is then put towards your WP to skill point ratio for example if your at 5 million sp you would be getting 1wp=1sec but you you would be getting lets say 5 sp=1WP this would still allow new players to level up and get good gear fast and would promote team work for the veterans

lol master farmer eh?

the vets have been playing this for like 6 months now with no new content

when ppl start talkin **** about ur corp over pubs and not in a battle u know the community goin to ****

So, you'd wilfully steal from the poor if only it were legal?

That's your logic here. Fail.

So, you'd wilfully steal from the poor if only it were legal?

That's your logic here. Fail.

That is horrible and not even analagous to this situation. This is more similar to taking your character in an MMO to an area with creeps that cannot kill you and just put yourself on autopilot and leave while your character runs around killing everything slowly earning XP. As I have said if you have an issue with this then go to CCP and tell them to use my solution. You will see AFK farmers drop dramatically and virtually become extinct. Anything else is just you raging. Whats that famous Eve saying???? Oh yea HTFU

this is a video game...you're comment = fail
all i was saying was people need to stop putting the blame on players and put it on CCP. also if players blame the AFK farmers for loses then they need to question their abilities at playing this game. you should start

Lol. Silly kids these days. Take a look at my previous post. It doesn't matter if the people you are screwing over are next door or across the Internet, you are actively choosing to screw people over because you are too lazy to play the game. Pathetic.

so you saying that you will cry about every person AFKing because you need their help with winning? you call me a kid but you are the one who needs to go up. start lifting so you can carry your team and not have to worry about AFKers hell id rather hae AFKers in ambush more kills for me and less kill for the enemy.....man up son

It's not cheating, it's abusing the system which is done in plenty of games and Eve too

Wow, the childishness is strong in this one.

i myself find it funny how you AFK exploiters keep finding excuses for doing it like its the most natural thing to do, but you need to admit youre affecting the game in a negative way, imagine if all players start doing it , the game would render unplayable and totally lose its purpose , or would you like to have a team of statues on your side when you occasionaly decide to play legit ?

Friendly fire soon, problem will be better then.

Friendly fire soon, problem will be better then.

Actually I would love to get into an Ambush game where everyone went AFK. If noone dies the game keeps going. You could afk for several hours and then after many hours suicide yourself so that the game ends and you get your cap SP in one go. Would be much more efficient then having to go back every 15-20 min and restart another skirmish.

you are gaining more SP+ISK compared to a player doing nothing in a lobby , at the same time youre indirectly hurting other players that are on your team by not playing, maybe CCP should create a AFK game mode just for you guys so you can have MCC camping partys together and not filling up slots for players who want to have a balanced game

Aww Crap, The Warriors might be back with this tactic to be had. lol

I have no morals or special values when it comes to participating in an online game.
If I want to camp in the MCC and farm SP I am going to. It is a VIDEO GAME people. It's about
Doing all the things an average person cannot do in real life, like blow **** up, or mow someone
Down with a mass driver, shotty some baddie in the face, steal someone's vehicle or teabag someone with a dropship.
So excuse me if I'm not doing what YOU want me to while I'm playing MY game the way I want to play
It. There is no code or honor here people. It is not real life.
I will not apologize for ruining your gaming experience while I am enjoying mine.

I highly doubt you save a lack of morals just for video games. That attitude has to blur into your REAL LIFE. Doing what you want in a video game is your choice, but why would you choose a team based game to neglect its purpose? There are plenty of sandbox games that would allow you do whatever without affecting other people who rightly expect participation.

So you like to ruin other people's game experience. . . . and proud about it . . .while ENJOYING sitting in the MCC.

Then should CCP remove all of the crap blueberries from my game because they ruin my game experience?

If you haven't noticed many blueberries are getting better. But there will always be new players. We are talking about effort here, not skill. Contribution, dude.

wow some of these people who are fussing at the AFKers are just plain idiots you all should just stop logging into the forums like seriously. i dont AFK but i can clearly see that the AFKers are not at fault with this issue.
many of them are tired of this boring game and are too busy to care for this game.
but they also want to keep up in sp to get their gear while CCP finds a way to fix this crappy system
anyone want to cry about this should get a diaper and a bottle

Look at my previous post on the last page and then talk to me about the effort and contribution I am seeing in the game right now. This isnt an isolated occurrence either.

And you are dead wrong.. blueberries are getting worse and worse and worse.

Prove me wrong and you get a cookie

Yeah people are actually crying. Tears are actually rolling down cheeks. Stop exaggerating. It's called a valid gripe. If the game is boring, do something else that doesn't screw people who can tolerate the boredom.

I cant wait to you are SP capped so you can quit dust because there will be no reason to eat a sandwhich or take sh!t while your character is nothing more than a statue.

Prove me wrong and you get a cookie

I love the comments against AFK farming in here. Its like you assume that one or two people could carry the entire team by participating. Apparently you dont understand just how bad the bluetards are these days.

Case in point - This morning, I jumped on before going to work. I was originally going to AFK farm while I got ready but then I saw that the match opened with only 4v4 so I felt bad and decided to actually contribute.

Soooo, what happened? I went 23/7, was #1 on the team while actively capping letters trying to win the game for the team. What was the result? A LOSS because all of the special freds on my team were too afraid to come into the complex and fight. They all kept to the edges of the map where they were safe and went 1/6 or 2/4 at best.

With that, I ask you champions of participation, whats the point? This is proof positive that you cannot backpack your entire team. All it leads to is frustration, boredom, and an increase in apathy. Id rather keep my furry butt in the MCC and continue to dream of the future while I eat my egg sammich.

I was new once, you were too. I was blueberry once, you were too. Were my c0okie?

Yeah, I was new.. but then I also read about what the objectives of the game formats were. I knew I actually needed to capture a letter to win the match

Cookie denied.

You generalize the bad performance of players around you like everybody is the same, every match is the same, that a player that goes negative in one game cant have a 40 kill game in a different skirmish.

Yes, people who play games that highlight participation actually do expect that to be the main component of the match. And you ridicule this? What other types of purpose do you miss?

You do realize that you are assuming to know what is going on in other players heads while you are witnessing them in judgement, right? And maybe you know the circumstances surrounding what led to those players to thinking that way, too.

No, cookie, I'll take a blueberry muffin.

Friendly fire soon, problem will be better then.

This isn't an exploit, I just choose who I fight for and who I don't. That should not stop me from taking any contract that will still pay me regardless of completion or failure.

I am basing my interpretation about what I see....

Situation A - There are a clump of blueberries around the CRU and firing around them, nobody is pushing out.. I spawn, run to objective C (nobody is there) cap it, and then run to objective A and cap that. Before I am done with A, the enemy had already had the time to move to C and de-hack. Wanna know where all the blueberries still are? Around the CRU or running out into the open part of the map and away from anything that could be productive to winning the match.

You seem to think that these matches are coming down to the wire and you only needed that AFK'er to push you over the top. Take off the rose tinted glasses

Then quit the match and join another. Stop screwing everybody else`s game because you wanna cry.

You are not the only person with a brain that plays this game. So you can think in a creative way while those you think less off die in some inferior way, great. I witness the same thing. These mcc squatters would farm if there was picking your nose skill. And be pretty good at it.

Actually I would love to get into an Ambush game where everyone went AFK. If noone dies the game keeps going. You could afk for several hours and then after many hours suicide yourself so that the game ends and you get your cap SP in one go.

Genius, we can take over one of the event servers and claim it's a protest, so we are now roleplaying too!

Wait a minute... People actually take the time out of their busy schedule of "soaps", "cleaning" and "wife time" to play a game that in reality they aren't even playing?

tip: you'd have more time in your daily duties if you don't even fire up DUST.

You don't need to "pull your team into a win all by yourself" you need to stop playing to give someone else a chance to be part of a team. Mercenary contracts, or "battles" are just that, contracts. Fight and get payed or don't fight and don't get payed. It should be that simple.

"I want my gear, but I don't want to earn it"

Yes CCP is Partially at fault, but quit acting like if the AFKers don't get to choose how they play. I don't even mind them, but the **** you're saying is stupid.

can I get in on this?

QFT. This is not hard people, but I do enjoy the twisted attempts to justify being a dbag to the rest of the team.

Pay me 5mil ISK and I will throw you on my back and give you a tour of the battlefield. I will show you sights you have never seen before like what an objective looks like.

IF you play the game just fine then why do you need me? How would I or any of the other guys called out in this thread help since you obviously have it in the bag already?

I will make a deal with you. I will play the game if you personally give each and every blue dot lessons on what they need to be doing in the game.

You make it interesting, we will play the game. Its on you now buddy, have at it.

My only fail is continuing to care what you opinion is considering you arent even absorbing what everyone is telling you about why they AFK.

You can QQ all you want but Im done responding ... peace out girlscout

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?

I do lol when people try to put all the blame on CCP though, you're both to blame, no one is forcing you to grind SP you greedy bastards.

Pay me 5mil ISK and I will throw you on my back and give you a tour of the battlefield. I will show you sights you have never seen before like what an objective looks like.

Twist a little more please. I play the game just fine, and why would a pay a dbag like you? You'd probably just afk considering that's your forte right?

You know that even a quick battle is a contract. You signed up to fight, or is that too hard to comprehend? Your choice to legitimately choose to fight or not happened before you signed up for the battle, but no matter. I'm sure they'll be some skills in afking soon that you can skill up in if that's the way you like to play.

I mean, kittens, CCP already gives you passive sp. How pathetic do you have to be to still afk when you're already being given passive points? Lol.

"We" don't need you. We'd prefer you leave or play, but don't bs in the mcc thinking you're too leet to play, thereby taunting the entire game with your fail. Thanks.

"We" don't need you. We'd prefer you leave or play, but don't bs in the mcc thinking you're too leet to play, thereby tainting the entire game with your fail. Thanks.

Trust me, in general, I think the blue dots suck too, but that's not an excuse to add to the dismay by adding suck to the game. At least it isn't for me.

Personally, I don't care if you play or leave, but don't waste a slot kittening around in the mcc that might be used by a player who wants to, you know, play the game.

I'd rather play with blue dots that suck, but want to play, than people who think they're too good to actually play the game. Fine, go away then.

Yay! GREEDY BASTARDS!!

It's a good thing that this crap is happening in the beta.Plenty of time for CCP to fix this ,,anomaly,,.

It's a released game with no more resets...

It's still a beta and it's meant to stress test the servers, but hey, If you want us all to get reset again then sure, why not? I'm sure you have more to lose than me, I've got 2.5 mill SP, you down? I'm sure the AFKers would be happy to know that they and everybody else have been wasting their time for the last 2 months.

CCP considers BETA to be a marketing term for a game that will see future content. That is such a perversion of the term. The stress test already happened. The balance of current assets already happened. There will be expansions, not wholesale revisions, from this point forward.

Oh, and we are officially commercially released. That's not semantics, that's a fact.

Oh, and we are officially commercially released. That's not semantics, that's a fact.

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

Source?

I guess is the fact that is an AUR market, people is spending "real" money in the game, and DUST 514 is in the PSN market as a FULL game.... not a demo.

CCP is making money from this game... so that is the equivalent of an "Official Release".

1. It's not the first beta to have functional microtransactions before release.
2. The AUR market existed when we were still in closed beta.
3. A beta isn't a demo, it's n incomplete product.

Almost every point Noc used to "prove" that it's a commercial release is flat-out false. Balance issues and basic core gameplay elements are still be altered and redesigned on a fairly regular basis.

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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?

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.

Sniping: You're moving from/to a location to snipe, marking enemies with scope, and firing at (engaging) enemies.
Logistics: If you're not moving as a Logi, then you're probably doing something wrong. Not necessarily, but even so, you'll have to be actively performing actions to get WPs, even though you may be technically engaging with teammates rather than enemies.
Mapping: Unless you're squad leader, and therefore using the map to set and alter squad orders, there's no reason to be doing this for a significant amount of time.
Hiding: If you're hiding in a position for long enough, and not moving at all, even slightly, then you're not active and not productive at all and shouldn't be considered as such.

As long as there's a reasonable time limit on the idle system, and earning WPs actively (Repair Tool, Assists, Squad Commission) consistently, then you should be fine. If you aren't fine, I'll be complaining too.
