I still hold out that CCP has a way of tracking those who abuse this "mechanic" and have all SP gained that way removed in the Uprising update.
Omg the lulz |

I love how people still try to justify it to themselves, instead of just admitting how lame they are.

I know right, it's almost like I'd rather the game be better for everyone, instead of being selfish and just making it better for me |

[quote=Logi Bro]Yes, CCP forces you to abuse their mistake, I'm sure.
And no, I don't use boosters. I'm fortunate enough to have a roof over my head right now. |

Just because someone gets away with something, doesn't mean they should
Also, should is one of those words where when I write it, my brain is like...that HAS to be wrong...nope... |

AFK using the game mechanics to the extend in which it was made, no rule about or of and no harm to actual people.
so how is it valid again?
I somehow doubt the only reason steroids are banned is because it's bad for your health. Then again, I don't exactly agree with people getting paid obscene amounts of money for playing a game while people are starving to death and being murdered
My comparison sticks if you don't over analyze it. I'm sorry I didn't research my analogy for you AFKers, maybe if I was off watching TV instead I would be better like you guys |

Because nothing says New Eden like AFK....
What makes me really sad about saying that....is that it's true....
I hate you guys....so much....

Not really, I'd just prefer people to man up and either play the game or leave. It's alright though, I can't argue this with you guys, because you clearly feel entitled to it and simply don't understand the logical point of view. Carry on, oh wayward son. |

I severely doubt this would happen, but you have no idea how happy I would be. If this does happen, I will make a video JUST for it. Oh, the lulz, the lulz.... |

I want the RTS and consequence, not a K/D ratio to brag about.
It's just funny that so many people feel entitled to get free rewards, and have such trouble seeing the problem with that.

HTFU? Because people are abusing an exploit?
You're rewarded because you're gaining SP, the primary component in this game to advancing yourself as a character, and you're gaining it by not playing the game.
It's cut and dry, you're the ones who are complicating it.
And the only thing pathetic is people AFKing lmfao |

You don't think not playing the game, yet being rewarded in the game, isn't an exploit.
I can't explain it better.
As you said.

I'd just like to say, that despite my fairly clear stance on this, I am also fine whether this goes unpunished or not. While I think the poetic justice would be delicious indeed, I really just want it for the lulz.

Baal Omniscient wrote:"A store (CCP) sells goods (distribute SP). They decide to donate goods to a pantry (give 5 SP per second) in order to help and feed poor and homeless people (help poor/terrible players). People who work at the shelter (AFKers) can legally skim goods off of the top (AFK farm) to help themselves out (breeze through matches without risking ISK) while disadvantaging the poor further (leaving others to play without team support).
Just because these people (AFKers) CAN skim goods (AFK farm) legally off the top (at the expense of others) doesn't mean the store (CCP) supplying the goods (SP) can't penalize those people by adjusting prices on goods in their store (adjust SP totals) when they shop at their store (play Dust) if the store (CCP) finds out who was skimming (who was AFK farming)."
Dude.

They take away the SP you earn from your boosters.
They give you back the AUR you spent on those boosters.
You still have the product you payed for.
The SP that was stolen however, that's up to CCP to decide what to do with. |

Cutting out the cancer and making an example of them would only serve to strengthen the growing community, since new players wouldn't have to watch people sitting around doing nothing being rewarded in an FPS (and it would also deter people from abusing game mechanics, if they knew that at any point, CCP could and would punish them for their actions)
To the person who wrote me an essay on EVE, EVE isn't an FPS. What flies in EVE isn't always going to fly in DUST, different games are in fact different |

Alright, I read it, sorry about that bro. I agree with basically everything, except that it isn't an exploit. People aren't going to be in PC and Corp matches 23/7, no matter how many goodies they give us.
People who feel entitled to earning SP in DUST for having their PS3s on won't change their mentality in the long run. If the option to exploit the system remains, they will continue to do so. |
