I enjoy reading people's thoughts on the massive AFK farming movement and was very disappointed to see the GM's had redirected all the redundant threads to one thread and then locked that thread when, surprise surprise, it went completely off the rails.
So, let's beat this dead horse.
I still think that ladder farming is the best. |

Question: If I get caught in match that's AFK/Sniper loaded, do I retain any WPs I've managed to earn if I leave the battle?
Nope, you suicide and afk in the MCC like most people.

what about wet willies and wedgies? That seems like it's more childish to me.

Not even sharted pantaloons are as childish as afk farming.
I see what you did there and I find it very childish. |

The Medic Droid wrote:I was in a match earlier today; went 13 kills 9 deaths and accrued 2025 war points. It was a close battle, we were neck and neck with the enemy team, but ultimately we lost.
Five players were hanging out in the MCC the entire match.
Five players that could have turned the tide and helped us to win.
I lose 120,000 isk whenever I die, so I lost 1,080,000 isk from that battle (I was awarded 299,035 isk at the end of the battle). I healed the wounded, revived the fallen, and resupplied the vanguard at every chance. I broke my bank trying to win, matched the enemy blow for blow, and was denied a victory because of the inaction of five people.
And yet the only argument for this practice is "the game is broken," "the game is boring," or "they don't want to lose suits for nothing."
I would like to hear an actual compelling argument. It is very annoying to lose under these circumstances.
So, what your saying is that people should continue to AFK so that you can continue to practice at a disadvantage and intimately have the mad skills to win these games. |

Also, if you do manage to kill someone who is AFK and they get kicked from the match, you are only making it so they will be farming longer than they would otherwise. Though I'm sure there are some people farming for ISK and items, most are doing it for SP only. It's no big deal to them if they get kicked from the game. They'll just join the next one... and continue cleaning the house, reading a book, watching netflix, masturbating, planning to take over the world or whatever they were doing while farming.

But really if you're AFKing then it's not just CCP's fault. The mechanic may be there because of them, but you're the one choosing to exploit it.
Yah, same goes for head shots. Sure, CCP put it into the game, but I highly doubt they ever thought in a million years it would lead to people preferentially shooting others in the head. I mean really, if you want to go running around exploiting this to get faster kills, more power to you, but I shall continue to do it the old fashioned way and shoot them in the center core. |

I appreciate whoever it was that tipped me off on throwing the mimic uplink out in the MCC. An extra 200-500 WP per match does come in handy. Heck. Makes me think maybe I should just continue farming after I hit my hard cap. |

Chunky Munkey wrote:So that fact that skirmish hasn't worked for a month, isn't a major issue they've felt compelled to fix then. The game being garbage and busted at the same time, I would have thought is a fairly major issue that needs fixing.
That's kinda beside the point. As long as people are playing, CCP will have data to work with. The gameplay means nothing if players aren't actually using it.[/quote]
So, it's really our duty to abuse the SP system by farming. Otherwise, they might not know it's not working. I guess some people just don't have a strong enough moral ethic to help CCP improve the game. All they are interested in is the next pub stomp. |

Get the new build out soon CCP, right now I'd rather play with ringworms in my own dungheap
that's just silly.
Roundworms, hook worms, whipworms, heck even tapeworms.
Ringworm is a fungus. |

Thankfully you have all of this personal experience that you can share with us. I am definately at fault for being so ignorant with these parasites
No worries, parasitology was a requirement for my doctorate.

I never did it before but this post convinced me.
At least the bugs don't get in your way all game this way too.
WIN / WIN
Throw out a spawn uplink. You could at least get some bonus points from those 20 clones. |

what are "whipworms"
or did you make them up?
Look up trichuris. Happy reading.
For even more hours of fun, look up Visceral larva migrans.
Good times. Aren't you glad you asked?

man, cue syncing would be great for AFK farming. Since you can only seem to get on the same side about one time in 20, you could easily get a squad of 4 on each side, decreasing it to a 12v12 match and extend the time in battle significantly. More time=more SP. |

It takes 38,500 seconds to max out a character by farming.
you are not factoring in an average of 100WP per match from suckas using your uplinks and nanohives. |
