I've suggested somewhat similar fixes in separate threads recently:
AFK fix (for MCC AFK'ing)
Red Zone fix
Might be worth having a look at since a lot of the pro's and con's are discussed in those threads :) |

I read your solutions.
SP counter from leaving MCC and auto defense turrets in redline. Your second is similar, but I think the first one would be easily countered. The proposed idle kick is also very easily countered. People are literally treating Dust514 as a chore with the SP gain, since they can do it without playing. Protesting or whatever they want to call it. They just find it easier to make isk and sp without having to do anything other than spawn, get to a safe point and watch TV or surf the internet.
It is true that the SP counnter upon leaving the MCC is easily circumvented by in fact leaving the MCC :) but, I think that that, combined with changes to the red zone system, could make a big difference.
At the very least, it will not hurt anyone, at all. And it would make it at least a bit more difficult to leech SP/ISK.
Idle kick is not a solution, I agree. It won't change a thing, people will just rubber band their controllers...
A lot of people are leaning towards more rewards for WP/kills/etc, and less for just being there, but I think that will cause huge issues, from complaints about the wrong stats being used and different types of play being rewarded differently to active WP farming. Not to mention less experienced players getting shafted... |

Personally I hate them, even since the beginning, but when I started doing the same thing, I found out that they provide a psychological fear to the enemy, when boots on the ground sees their life go down by half they start to retreat and hide, they see their buddies die from a sniper shot, they hide. It's another tactic and its also used by real snipers in the military.
That applies to snipers regardless of where they are sniping from though.
Red line sniping is using the red zone system outside it's intended function (which is to prevent MCC camping of pushed-back teams).
Currently some of the best sniping spots are in the red zone. Not because it it the red zone, but simply because of the location. I don't blame snipers for sitting in these spots, but I do blame CCP for creating a system that promotes/allows this. |
