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

Because taking time off from improving the game to spite players that found an exploit in their poorly designed game isn't equally or more lame.

I don't think it's slander to put a game identity on a list for AFKing... nor do I think game identities need to be concerned about privacy with respect to public in-game actions.

It was me who sent the messages on an Alt of mine. If I catch you AFKing.Farming in the MCC like a p@ssified B#tch, you're getting blacklisted you motherfkers. I've added everyone in this thread who has admitted to AFKing to the list as well.

The players who are on this list, have a reaaaalll special treat coming to them and their respective Corps. Until that treat arrives enjoy Farming in the MCC for as long as you can, because judgement is coming real soon @ssholes.

Their goal is to prevent vigilante justice. The last thing CCP wants is cyber bullying, hacking, or a real life confrontation making its way into the news. It attracts the most dangerous kind of PvP, the litigation kind.

It wasn't meant to be a put down. Sorry about that.

The "stupid" statement will be taken seriously by some people. Hence the clarification.

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....

May 6 we-¦ll get grouping becoming something that have value, the afking will probably happen only in pubmatches, cause when real isk is involved, afkers will be kicked from the corp and the corp match.

And teamkilled.

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.

Or are people actually making lists of AFKers and sending them messages about it?

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.

Carry on.

As for boosters/AUR/SP/etc take-backs/refunds, they may be considering it. You never know what they'll do when under pressure: http://www.dust411.com/2013/04/10/merc-pack-refund-debate-update/

*Sighs*

But........am I being unethical? Not until CCP says it's a bad thing, verbatim, not some, "We'd prefer if you didn't," bull.

Am I being selfish? Yes. However, even though I know it's an evasion, I could just as easily call you selfish for not camping with me. As far as I know, Skirmish has no time limit, so if everyone camped, we'd all get massive SP rewards from a single game. You are cheating all these poor SP-less blueberries out of easily earned SP by discouraging AFKing.

I wasn't suggesting there was cause to think they would, I've said several times I'm fine whether or not they do it.

I was pointing out that if enough people pressure CCP, it might happen. They do all kinds of things due to audience pressure, and if they are planning to refund merc packs, boosters and all, the only way to not give away free SP boosters and AUR would be to remove SP gained via boosters. Which is a possibility as far as I can tell since they've yet to say it's off the table.

And if there is a chance they will be messing with peoples SP allotments, there's also a chance that they may penalize at least those players who openly admit to abusing a mechanic publicly. Like, say, here in the forums. Where it's all been flaunted for the world to see what they did.
