AFKers are as harmful to the game as more active saboteurs. Both will result in people who aren't suited for New Eden storming off in a huff.

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.

Does AFK currently happen outside of pubs?

Nobody has any obligation to help you win the match. That seems to be where you're getting messed up. You seem to feel like people on your team are obliged to help win and that you're entitled to their help. That's not the case.

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

This game, I'm tellin' ya.

You play a game, to not play the game.

People underestimate CCP, read the terms and agreement, CCP doesn't need to tell us their gonna punish the AFK'ers, they simply are just gonna do it and when people kick up a **** storm about it CCP will laugh in their faces, proabalby with a response similiar to "What you complaining about? not like you played our game is it?"

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

The game i want to play will come out in the next years. The game i-¦m willing to play, wil come out May 6. The game that i am playing, is a generic futuristic shooter.

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.

Carry on.

Abusing an exploit???

IT'S NOT AN EXPLOIT. You get 5 SP per second. How is that an exploit? How is this different to a sniper off somewhere doing nothing in a mountain? Gets 0 kills, and 0 deaths? You're saying he's "abusing an exploit" too?

I get passive SP from not playing the game also...does that make me a cheat? Your argument is brilliant as the 5sp per second mechanic CCP put in!

I haven't seen a single comment from a Dev, or GM saying this is against rules. So until then, all you crybabies can keep shedding tears, taking names, and trying to TK.

Crying on the forums about people being AFK is the most pathetic thing I've seen on this forum. "OOOH NOOOO HE'S GETTING SP FOR NOT PLAYING!! BOOO HOOO! QQ"

While you're at it, complain about people using boosters against people who are not. They are obviously getting an advantage right? Must be an exploit! They're abusing 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.

Sorry passive SP, you're an exploit now.

Your right Lance, you're not abusing an exploit. You are abusing a mechanic that was put into the game in an attempt to help players who try their best and still fail to make decent SP earnings.

All I'm saying is that if CCP doesn't punish you for abusing a mechanic meant for people who try but fail, that's fine with me since they plan to fix the system. But if they DO decide to snatch away all SP from matches in which you had less than a certain number of button presses or moved under a certain distance or whatever criteria they may or may not plan to use, it'll be funny as hell to watch all AFKers rage over loosing SP they risked nothing to earn. It'll be almost as satisfying as when missile tankers and dropship pilots got their missiles nerfed. ALMOST.

My tear glass isn't in hand, but it's nearby just in case.

Hey, I'll be on a mountain sniping... don't ever say I didn't try cuz I went 0-0... i'm a terrible sniper

Edit: CCP can't take away SP from people who used boosters. They never commented about it being a cheat, so unless they want to refund people their money back, they can't take away SP. Demanding that they do is being a drama queen.
