its getting way to common for people to ISK farm, they spawn in the MCC, do nothing and still get ISK. Remove people from the game after being inactive for too long and specially when they are in the MCC |

This is know as the AFK issue, SP farming and is being worked on by CCP/Shanghai. It is virtually impossible to Farm ISK in DUST. It mostly falls from the MCC after any match. Besides, ISK isn't the issue, SP is the Only issue.

Well, they both are issues. Because I tried it myself to see what you get for it. and its not a lot, but its too much for doing nothing. It should not be rewarded at all!!!
Besides you have a player in your team thats a waste. I've been in games with 3 ISK farmers, that is almost a squad of players not doing anything to help win the battle but do get rewarded. That is stupid and unfair. |

To be fair, as was previously mentioned - they are likely not farming isk, but are AFK farming SP. Isk is too plentiful already, SP not so much. |

Did a few afk runs this week myself. Would play for the first 5 minutes or so on skirmish and afk the rest of the game. Would still end up ranking between 1st and 5th place.
Why? Since skirmish is such a long game mode it is relatively easy to hit the 1kSP cap each map. Why should I spend isk dieing and respawning when I know I won't get compensated for the extra effort or cost? |

because that is the name of the game. You should always pay attention to how many times you die and how much that costs (risk vs reward) The way I play is like this. When I start the battle I spawn with my advanced gear. If I die 2 times, I'll spawn only once with my less advance gear. After that I will only spawn with free militia gear. I calculated that that will always give me an ISK profit. Even if its not that much. But when I go 30/1 in a match I get high reward which compensates for the lesser games.
Another thing I do to make ISK is play a lot of ambush matches in militia gear, these matches are not that long, but still pay you ISK.
If your not making money each game your doing something wrong. I do lots of game just in my militia gear as well, just to earn the ISK. So your whole explanation that dying cost ISK doesn't work. Furthermore from the moment you do nothing you are a worthless link in the team, and a team is only as strong as its weakest link  but I wouldn't expect you to understand that. |

Why is there not a removal script for people that have no input for extended periods of time? It is relatively simple to implement and anyone standing still with no actions for 5+ minutes would make their intentions fairly obvious. |

In which case all these tools would have to do is sit in the MCC and spin around in circles.
Play the game or don't...do not sandbag my team. If you want to go AFK do it in your merc quarters!

Ok so they are inactive stood still..... rubber band around the controller to make you spin in circles is easy enough to combat that problem. |

i said this before in General.
CCP should introduce some kind of electrical pulse in the MCC to players who stay longer than 2 mins. this would degrade dropsuits overtime but encourage peeps to move. only probs is that if u spawn in when red dots are campin underneath this would be suicide. so to fix this there should be an option to redeploy on the ground. once redeploy it would be impossible to redeploy back to mcc. another thing would be to disable repair tools while in the mcc as it would be possible to farm wp if this was introduced as you'd only need a sqd of logi bros repairing each other. |

And I wouldn't expect you to understand what I said either. If I made the 1000wp to hit the cap, why should I venture out and do anything anymore? I don't mind losing and I'm not required to carry the team to victory just because you can't help yourself. I'll just hang out in the MCC while you squander our clones. |
