Are they wearing Heavy suits?
If not, suicide bomb them. If they ARE Heavies, or if they survive you suiciding, bring friends and repeat the suicide attack. Even the toughest go down with 2 - 3 suicides.
And unlike real players, they don't respawn, because they're AFK. And when they come back, they've been booted from the match, and didn't get any ISK or SP for their... ummm... "efforts".
If you're running solo in Skirmish, just hope they're on the other team next time.
And unless you KNOW the person was in the match all the way through, don't assume that 0/0 means they were an AFKer. I've had hatemail from someone for "making the team lose" when I joined so late I didn't even have time to spawn before getting the "defeat" screen. How was that my fault? |

He's probably a better LAV driver than me. And almost certainly better in... any other game with cars of any kind at all. |

When did I imply that he's a GOOD driver?
Better than me means that you can be behind the wheel in Borderlands 2 for a whole minute without dying (my current record is less than 30 seconds). My skill at driving in videogames is similar to my skill at cooking. And I make this happen. |

Can you link the post then, because I can't find it either. And I've looked in a LOT of threads on the topic. Including the one you referred to specifically, which as mentioned, only had the GM post where it was locked. |

Including the one you referred to specifically, which as mentioned, only had the GM post where it was locked. I told you the thread. Seems they did a ghost edit. It said what I told you earlier. I have no reason to lie and would not have mentioned it multiple times in different threads Don't worry CCP I will start a civil thread with my ideas and suggestions. Just give me 12 hours. Gotta get some sleep.
You told us a thread which doesn't currently have what you claim it once had, and which I had been following and doesn't show the signs of missing dev posts that you'd usually expect to see if there was an edit. If someone DID edit something out, they either did a very subtle job, or a heavy-handed cut of a lot of content that I'm pretty sure I remember never having been there.
So again, got an ACTUAL source? Rather than "I remember this but it's not there any more" source? Because I'm pretty sure the latter doesn't actually qualify as a source.
Particularly when the devs here have generally been open about retracting and correcting themselves in the past, rather than editing out comments that were made in error. |

You may not use your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play. You may not rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in any way to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or achieved in the Game. Don't tactically bold out one part of a sentence and ignore the rest of the context to support your argument. AKFing DOES NOT DO ANY OF THE ABOVE ANYWAY. How is AFKing "using your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes"?
Nicely done. You know that "or" doesn't mean the same thing as "and", right?
No?
Lets start from the basics then. "And" means all of the things on the list are required. "Or" would cover ANY example where ANY of the listed conditions is fulfilled. One single solitary condition being met is sufficient. If I said someone had to be "blind, braindead or in a coma" to not see me coming, and they were blind, but not braindead or in a coma, that would satisfy the requirements I set down.
In the phrase "third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play", you AREN'T required to use macros to fill that requirement. You aren't required to use third-party software or other stored rapid keystrokes either. Any particular pattern of play that operates outside of the normal flow of gameplay and is rewarding you excessively for not participating fits the requirements of the phrasing. AFK farming is therefore covered. If an idle kick function is implemented that only registers controller input, and someone rubber-bands their controller's right stick so the character keeps spinning and doesn't get kicked, that will also fit the criteria as defined.
This is the kind of really, REALLY basic English that you're expected to already know whan you start at school as a native English speaker, so I hope it's a second language, and I hope you're just really good at the language for a first-year student, and if not, you should probably be hitting the books while you're AFK.
You're earning SP and ISK at a higher rate than is normal for a player who isn't attending to their console. You're breaking the risk-reward mechanics that are deliberately present in the game. It's obvious to anyone who actually stops to think about it that this isn't how the game is meant to be played. It's obvious even to most people DOING it that it's not intended, but many do it anyway because they think they can get away with it. I hope some kind of fix for this is included in the next build.
Quote:You're argument is stupid. Think before posting. AFK ratting, mining, autopiloting, pubbie scaring, and a whole lot more are TOTALLY LEGAL IN EVE. Soaking up a couple of games worth of SP is nothing compared to these.
...and then you go and prove me wrong about seeming smart for a first-year. That should be YOUR argument is stupid. You know what else is stupid? Providing evidence of your own illiteracy whle trying to call someone else stupid.
And with that said, I've thought of a relatively simple almost-complete solution. Time-based SP earned can never be more than triple your WPs.
If you toss down an Uplink at a spawn location and a couple of badly-placed nanohives, then you're going to rake in maybe 200 WP. That means you're still getting well under 1000 SP for an AFK match. You may as well have already passed your cap at that point. If you don't do anything at all, you get the nothing you earned.
It might hold some really poorly-performing new players back, but most of them can rake in more WPs than someone who's not in the game, and someone performing that terrible should really be trying to pick up their game, not asking for more handouts.
Add an in-game report function and have someone from the dev team who can deliberately enter games with a flagged player to watch for the requisite behaviour. In the meantime, if the devs confirm it's an explo |
