I know its a crappy thing to do but until CCP decides to do something here is my solution. I need every non AFKer to help. Here is a list of AFKers I saw tonight. Feel free to add to it. If you see these people on your team or against your team. Just leave. They can't afk if they have no match to AFK in.
Telcontar Dunedain Jamarc Allen Nova Knife Tiel Syysch - all Imperfect if I remember correctly

If syn didn't support it the participants would be reprimanded. Haven't seen it happening.. |

Lol I guess get your names in before it gets locked down people. Honestly if CCP locks it, it shows how much theu care about this game and its player base. Not at all... |

Pfft. Not much of a CEO then.. notice its only the 1337 corps who are abusing game mechanics? Guess your not very 1337 either if you have to cheat. |

I don't understand how abusing game mechanics, regardless of what match, is a non issue. Its a bannable offense in any game, besides this one apparently. |

First of all, people don't afk entire battles in CoD, BF3 ect. Secondly, I said abuse game mechanics, not go afk. Going afk is not abusing game mechanics in those game either. Ultima Online, one of the first MMO ever, banned people for afk skill training.. not the only one either. |

But its not anymore. Those sp will stay with the character forever from here on out. If sp got reset this would be a moot point, but its not. |

I will agree that the rewards for time are a bit high... But there's honestly nothing CCP can do to stop people from idling except make the game more rewarding and interesting to actually play it.
If they introduce an idle-kick... People will just use macros on their controllers, or run around every so often knowing how long they have to move.
If they introduce a vote-kick... People will just abuse the hell out of it to kick people they don't like regardless of if they are AFK or not.
They only thing to really do is lower the rewards based on time. They can't remove them completely, because they were put there in the first place as a 'consolation prize' for the people who get like 100-200WP a match at most on a regular basis. This system allows those people to progress at a good pace still...
(As a side-note... The only people involved in actual abuse of game mechanics here are the people using grenades to try to teamkill.) It's hilarious to dance around those people, and make them kill themselves for no reason btw.
Exactly, it wasn't designed to stand in the MCC all match as a veteran player and farm isk/sp. Therefore, iys abuse of a game mechanic. |

Actually I've known people who've had to leave whole matches in some fpses but have staued in the match in case they returned on time and for the W/l ratio change, wouldn't that be abusing the system? Explain why he hasn't been banned. Also even in Eve systems have been abused for about a decade because they can be, CCP won't take the petty route and ban for it's short comings
Apparently you have never reported a bad afk farmer in eve, because when they get caught, they get banned. |

OP, you get to be responsible for all of the crying that results from that.
If the match never starts you get no reward, if it does its a match between two afk farming teams that runs till the timer expires, you get your points and no blueberries get wrecked, how is it not a solution? |

Might want to think about having to play the same maps/build over and over again for a year before bringing in the afk police. EDIT - Pretty sure there are more names for you to add to the list on the front page of this post, quit slacking.
Actually I started a couple builds ago, firat occasionally on my father's account (he got an invite for having an active eve account) it intrested me enough to get the merc pack and join myself, after a build or two, I realized the utter trash that this game was back then, and quit to go play more exciting games. YES, I quit playing! For the same reasons you afk. That's the difference between me and you. If I don't like it, I don't play! Previous toon was skryd mewgun for anyone that interested.. |
