The problem is the system.

Doing nothing and still getting SP and ISK.

If people dont want to participate in combat you cant stop them.

They would go and hide and all that because they still get rewards.

Now if rewards are given only to those who do something in the match (killing/hacking) as soon as one team is on the losing side people would disconnect most likely and the match would end and the winning team would only get few points and wasted time.

Its a double edge sword ala Damocles with this "AFK farming" thing.

Its just human nature.

What is made by man can be undone by man.

The only thing you can do if you are on the winning team is let them sit in the MCC and enjoy your victory and if you are on the losing team,well bad luck try again , at least you still get some points.

Define "reward"

If one is a dropship pilot taking people from here to there, facilitating them to hack objectives, win the match and conquer a district, should everyone (his corp, his alliance) get points while he doesn-¦t get any ?

If one is a commander, leading the team, calling the shots, monitoring the field activity, should he be the only one without rewards ?

Any system can be abused, and the old fashioned way of disencouraging people of abusing systems, is to remove them from the system itself. Pub matches are just a bunch of nobodies together, corp matches and planetary conquer wil lbe the limiting factor of parasitic behaviour.

SP and ISK given at the end of the match for kills and hacks.

If you would get SP and ISK ONLY if you kill or hack.

you going to get owned ha ha ha

Well i'm not going to troll you

This thread is the only thing that is fun about Dust514 anymore. The mods know to let it breathe or dust will die
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.

Every time i get put in a match on the losing team with zero MCC shields and a 20+ clone difference I'm straight up farming.

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

that's just silly.

Ringworm is a fungus.

what are "whipworms"

or did you make them up?

Look up trichuris. Happy reading.

For even more hours of fun, while you farm, look up Cutaneous larva migrans.


Good times. Aren't you glad you asked?

not googling EITHER of those.

their not actually that bad, i've seen much worse things to google.
