So, with the rampant AFK farming going on, I thought we could share the techniques we have seen and how to counter them.
So, a few i have noted:
Spawning in and just going AFK in the MCC. Countered by overcooking a grenade in close proximity. Even more fun if you do it with about 10 bars left on the MCC as they are likely not paying enough attention to respawn and will be kicked.
Getting sneaky and spawning in and going to hide in the hills. Countered by hunting them down and then either suiciding on them or dropping LAV's repeatedly until the drunken pilot finally drops one on him.
Spawning in in a heavy suit with or without armor repair. I think a dedicated team could suicide one after the other to counter the repair, but I haven't actually tried it.
Spawning in and sitting in a turret. Does suicide grenade affect these? Otherwise the only way to counter would be to get the other team to kill the turret.
Finding a ladder and climbing half way up. I've yet to see a counter to this one.
So, any I missed or any counters to add?

Edit: I'm not against AFK farming. I just like team killing by blowing up 600k ships.
Nice. But if they are high enough on the ladder, an exploding LAV wouldn't affect them, would it?
As for farming to maximum potential, aren't you better off being the only one farming on your side? If too many are farming, the match would end sooner and you wouldn't make as much SP. Highly effective for isk farming, I suppose. |

to op you forgot the rare afk tankin(HAV) in the redzone.
A) where did anyone say it was stupid?
B) I did forget to put that one in. It can be countered by dropping LAV's on the HAV, though. Can't it?

Actually, I'll second this. Anyone know why it works at times and other times it doesn't? |

Heh, another plus to the ladder method is that it interferes with snipers getting to their redline roof positions. |

I have never seen nor heard of this. Tell us more about how that works? |
