If they consider it an exploit, they've had long enough to say so.
IMO, it would be an exploit if it was a theoretically solid design with an oversight in it.
This isn't a solid design, it's a design which blatantly rewards lack of effort. That's on them. |

Rail tanks are working as intended, so are supply depots.

They definitely don't like it. Devs have been in IRC saying very clearly "we don't like AFKing we want players to play the game" but it's their responsibility to make a game in which playing is more worthwhile than AFKing, both in terms of ISK/SP rewards and player enjoyment. |

I think the problem your having is that we aren't "justifying" it, it's perfectly fine with me, your the only one that's calling it a bad thing. If CCP starts rewarding us for playing the game MORE than just being in the game, I will stop AFKing. |

if your using number 3 which would make the most sense my simples of it fit just as well as AFK so you want every weapon to have the same range and damage to while your at it so someone can't exploit(2) them? exploit is just a bad word if you think it is like any other words. |

This game, I'm tellin' ya.
I agree with you. I had a conversation in local the other day regarding who was more of a "tryhard", maybe some of you will agree.
Is it:
A) The MCC AFKers (or the "I'll sit in a tank way behind the redline under something so I can't be orbed") who are apparently so terrified of someone getting even the slightest SP advantage over them.
or
B ) The people who are actually trying to do something despite the fact that they are outnumbered (due to AFKers)?
I'm not the greatest, but when I play the game, I play the game. The only times I have AFK'd have been in my Merc Quarters because I fell asleep.
I'm starting to fear that the direction for Dust isn't the same one I envisioned with all of the early videos and hype. It is turning into redlinefest after redlinefest, it doesn't matter which side of the redline I am on, it just seems that I am on it every match I play.
Matchmaking is still garbage too, so very very disappointing. Hit Detection is still broken, I love how I hit them and see blue hexagons, they shoot me and I see the respawn screen WTF is up with that? |

It's more of a description of SP boosters than AFKing, and you probably use boosters, don't you?
A more apt comparison would be sitting in an MCC so I can get my SP without having to put in effort. Whoops, that's what I'm actually doing, but hey, work smart, not hard. And when I consider hitting the SP cap to be work, that's a error on CCP's gameplay, not my tactics. |

As a former professional athlete I can say drug abusers are already rewarded lol
You really think professional sports are "clean"? Clean athletes end up the nobodies in the sport, or have a short career due to burn out. Buying "over the counter" stuff isn't much different than taking hard drugs if you know what you're doing. Drugs banned in one sport, can still be taken in another sport...funny huh.
Lance Armstrong says hi btw... he seemed to have been rewarded very nicely for his drug abuse... and they never found him positive lol.
So the winner for the worst comparison ever, goes to you :P

But you admit it's their mistake. They invented a game where SP gets you ahead of other players, and they made it so you get 5 SP per second just for being in the game, and only 1 SP per WP for actually playing the game. I would prefer if they switched those two around, and if they did, I would gladly play to earn my SP rather than leech it. |

CCP has had more than enough time to specifically state "this is an illegal exploit" or something like that, they have not. I believe they should have, but since they haven't I cannot see how anyone can advocate removing SP from AFK'urs.
You LITERALLY laughed your ass off? dumbass

But... that doesn't change the fact that it was a horrible comparison. Nobody is getting ahead of anyone by being AFK...nobody is getting more SP by doing this.
How is taking performance enhancers the same as being AFK waiting for SP?
If your comparison was with boosters, then even so... horrible comparison. You can buy boosters too, and in fact you're supporting CCP when you do. So if I AFK WITH boosters, I'm supporting CCP more than people who don't buy boosters.

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 |

I love when people take thing literal. :) I might actually laugh my ass off.
Clearly they do not want people to do it. But they basically support it for the next month creating a event that has people playing 5 battles a day to gain rewards. I am sorry but Currently holding strait As in my 400-500 lvl classes is more important. Therefore I am using the advantage of AFK battling to allow me to study while gaining the reward. And if you call someone stupid for doing such a thing, you might want to look at yourself for a change. Actually it is quite genius move. It allows someone to complete their more important task while gaining in game goods.
I am sorry it would not be bad if CCP said ya you need to complete 25 battles over this next week. I could do that in the weekend when I have time. But in the middle of the weak na I am going to spend my time on more valuable things. While using a mechanic in the game to allow me access to the rewards.
If it was not for the current event I would not take the time to log in. |

Actually the playerbase has dropped off so badly semper that it rubber bands like crazy you cant find full matches and are often thrown into other region servers so yea game is slowly bleeding to its death.
If the game was actually fun to play id play it i wouldnt even care if AFK would result in the same outcome. I AFK because the game is boring and i play it because of the few handful of friends willing to suffer with me holding out hope that the game becomes fun again next build when we can go bash everyone. |

AFK'urs are harmful to the game. It appears CCP doesn't want to take a stand on it (at this time) so it is quite legal. Harmful to the game, harmful to the team of random scrubs you don't care about. If there was such a thing as Karma it would be harmful to that too. Just not against the rules.

if AFKing was considered an exploit, CCP would've deleted the thread that told people about it, since you're not allowed to talk about exploits and would've stated that so and so gameplay is considered an exploit.
Seeing as I can't find the message stating AFK gameplay is an exploit, I don't think it's a exploit.
sometimes I'm AFKing, but then im just RPing that I pooped my suit, and shouldn't move because it'll get in all kinds of weird and unwanted places. |

Listing is not a solution... When CCP announced the "1 sp every 5 sec" spent in a battle, it was obvious this would happen....
Solution ? delete that part of the SP income. Instead, add a multiplier to WP earned when its turned to SP.
Something like x4 WP = total SP.
So 2000 WP = 8000 SP.
That and adding minimal WP requirement earned to get any ISK.
there, afk is gone. That or denial area you can't stay in more than X minutes. If you just add an anti-idle function, people will just tape their left stick and run against a MCC wall. |

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.
For some reason, CCP is rewarding them for not helping you. That's an issue but it's not the fault of the player who doesn't want to help. |

I think you're still getting confused about why people AFK. You seem to think we are hiding because we aren't "manning up," but I'll say again, AFKing is done for gaining SP without having to spend time on the game, not because my sole existence is to troll you. |

Calling your own perspective "the logical point of view" is hardly a trustworthy testimonial.
You're allowed to prefer that people play the game or leave. Unfortunately, those aren't the rules of the game.
EDIT: And stop referring to "you guys" when disagreeing with me. I tend to play the game because I actually like DUST. |

Didn't the TC just mean that comment from the in-game voice you hear when you're on the deployment screen for too long? (paraphrasing) "All mercenaries are required by contract to deploy," followed eventually by "your inactivity has been noted in your records," or something?
Or are people actually making lists of AFKers and sending them messages about it? |

This game, I'm tellin' ya. 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?" I'd love to see this for no other reason than I'm tired of seeing nerf threads and this would liven things up a bit.
CCP: "What? Your upset we took points from you? We're upset you took advantage of a system that was implemented to help out players who suck at the game but still try. Cry me a river and get back to fighting if you want that SP back some time in the next month." |

It's just funny that so many people feel entitled to get free rewards, and have such trouble seeing the problem with that.

Free rewards? People paying for boosters...with real money.
Didn't realize people standing around waiting to get their SP is considered being rewarded. You get 5 SP per second...where's the free reward?
I can AFK and get 6-8k SP a game with boosters. I play, get 25+ kills, and maybe get 9-10k SP. Where's my "reward" for playing?
People crying about AFK'ers now is starting to look pathetic. Here I thought this was New Eden, home of Harden the **** Up, yet there's soooooo many tears about people AFK.
How about all you crybabies HTFU? Yes? No? Continue crying?

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 |

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! |

On BF3, I get 600 xp for not doing a single thing. I get points for being in the game, and get points for my team winning.
That's an exploit too I guess... i can lvl up my character without playing a single minute.
You have no argument other than people getting "rewarded" for not doing anything, So next time I AFK, I'll pull out a sniper rifle, go on mountain somewhere, and look like i'm sniping. That way, I'm not "abusing an exploit". |

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.

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. |

As for sniping, give the charged rifle with 3 complex damage mods a chance. OHK's 99% of all militia suits, scouts and Type-l non-heavies, and there are plenty out there right now since vet's are bleeding out of the game lately. You're bound to get lucky once or twice a match and at least connect a shot.
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/

Havent red the whole thread but from what i saw, there are people defending the possibility to afk ?
I'll be honest and admit i'm MCC afking myself while cleaning my apartment, cooking and i'm late on cap. Though, i'm still in favor of making afking NOT possible.
I LOL at all those trying to demonstrate that afk is ok.
1) Lore Wise : You take a contract from an NPC corp and you're getting paid. The most logical choice for those npc corp when you dont or pretend to fight would be to just pop you off the BF. No reward, No SP. bye merc.
2) Gameplay wise : This is a FPS. Afk all you want mining in EVE. But being able to idle in an FPS is just idiotic. Anyone that will say otherwise is either an uber-cowardly Carebear or an 8y-old that doesnt know anything about FPS.
Yet, i would tend to agree with those saying that AFK till now is CCP's fault. Not the players. Creating a mechanics that just screeeeeeeeeeeeams AFK and never reacting to any complaints from the player right when it started is on them. Punishing the players now would be as idiotic as the system itself.
Just as a reminder : here's a thread posted DAY ONE they announced the 5SP per sec in battle. When we got a daily LOLZ Cap at the same time :https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=457946#post457946
So NO ! no way CCP gets to punish players when they got warned day one this would ruin skirmish. |

While I agree with you totally on 90% of your post, I have to say that just because CCP was warned that it would happen doesn't mean CCP can't punish people for abusing a mechanic in a way that it was not meant to be used.
Let me put it into a hypothetical:
"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)."
Not saying they should, but they do have that right. |

hmm.......not sure what your trying to say. Sarcasm? U suggesting CCP actually thought about the players and thats why the afk is there so they can catch up? If so your probably right. any of you guys ever thought they want it that way . And CCP has better things to do besides rip off their customers
Or are you saying the afk system is preventing them from catching up?
Either way i was hoping for a response from the guy i quoted anywayas

Yeah cuz CCP is all about helping the needy, its not like they are a corporation trying to make money from you. how generous of them to take away my sp I guess the $40 wasnt enough Another bright idea from the dust 514 fans, screw the players. Must be hard managing CCP as a buisness. Not being ripped off is like stealing from the homeless and getting away with it. The game is free, you spending money on it is a result of you wanting to, not of CCP's status as a corporation.
You spending $40 on a free game has no bearing on you abusing an in-game mechanic.
If you used a booster while AFKing and CCP decides to punish you for it, it's not CCP's fault you decided to abuse game mechanics while using RL money.
And you aren't a player if you are AFKing and not playing the game, so how is it screwing over players? |

Reasons CCP should steal from me:
The game can be played for free I broke a rule that doesnt exist I didnt have to use real money while breaking a rule that doesnt exits another ignorant comment as if ive been buying boosters to afk in the mcc and i dont ever actually play the game. part 2 of ignorant comment is that it only screws over the people who give money to CCP
Are you reading this guys:
CCP has the right to "punish" people for breaking rules that dont exist, and dont worry it only affects the paying customers. After all Its not CCPs fault i decided to become a customer. And all the hours youve played the game well..who gives a **** you afk when you clean your room and watch tv your title as player has been revoked.
This is what I see everyday when i hop on the forums, Useless, backwards thinking, uneducated reasoning. Please CCP nerf them. I am beggining to regret purchasing my 2nd booster. Not because i dont like the game, but because players like Baal wanna reach into my Account and decide how i should play and what punishment i deserve for not playing like him. Who knows you might actually listnen to these guys |

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. |

No one is trying to enforce a rule that doesn't exist, you are struggling and flailing at the issue when no one is pushing it. CCP has the right to punish people who abuse game mechanics because it is their game. AFKers are in in many cases costing the teammates they leave to fight their battles for them ISK by not backing them up, thus CCP has an excuse to do so if they so wish. And they could very well refund AUR spent on boosters used to abuse a mechanic. Do they have the drive to do all of this? I doubt it. Will they? I'd bet $20 on no. And yet you insist on insulting people who are supplying no ideas whatsoever to CCP, we are just discussing how hilarious it would be if they did.

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.
I don-Št know if you play EVE or not, but by the mindset, i-Šll infer that you don-Št.
In EVE Online, the first game of the New Eden universe, all the characters gain SP passively as they train a certain skill (Train skill and gain SP, instead of Gain SP apply on skill). And passively is the only way to gain SP.
Yep, you don-Št even have to be logged in at the game to get SP. You can just pay, and let the char training for years to return later and
"Oh, but like this, if i join today, i-Šll never have as many SP as a veteran from 2003!" Yes, you are correct! No matter how much one play, even a no lifer that plays 23.5/7 will neve have the same SP ammount that a veteran does.
However, the total ammount of SP is nothing compared to the application of said SP. You, starting today, may specialize and perform better at something than me, a 2007 char.
I-Šll say again: You, starting today, may perform better at something than a multimillion SP character in EVE online.
Why am i saying all this?
In Dust, prior to Open Beta, there was a lot of experimenting with the SP system.
Do we transport the pasive SP system of EVE to Dust? Should no lifers get sp in such a rate that they may cap the points in less than 7 years? Should the guy that works and just want to relax 2 hours playing a game, feel so overwelmed by the younglings that play this game like crazy, and have no chance agaisnt them? How to combine reward for proactive behaviour and not penalize passive one? How to reward an active, but bad player? How to retain a bad, but participative player, if he can-Št gain points by playing?
Due to diferent styles, plataforms and target public, we have a mixed Active / Passive system that rewards the ones that play a lot (but with a limit on how much this is rewarded) while maintaining the original "Progression with time"
I don-Št feel "entitled" to get rewards. I payed the Merc Pack to join the game, i worked my ass to get my skinweave suits, i skipped work to participate at the Battle of Caldari prime (Both here and in EVE).
It-Šs just that i-Šm sort of a "native" with the SP system of New Eden and you-Šre coming from different lands, with different costumes and a different mindset.
Not saying that you-Šre wrong, or that we can-Št discuss percieved abuses, but what you consider a "problem", is actually a "solution".
In my perception, this system is implemented for the following reasons:
- It rewards participation in battles (You still have to click to join a battle), if you-Šre a good or a bad player. - Retains the audience - Makes you login now and then - Gives no lifers and real lifers opportunity to get on the same "character level", within a bell curve of course.
It-Šs an unfinished game, with several restrictions, and no impact on the universe (save for sporadic promotions and storyline advancements). This is but an empty shell of it-Šs possibilities, and because of this, a lot of people enter just to gain SP.
Public matches are meaningless, corp battle are braging rights. No PC, no interaction with EVE (save pew pew from the sky), absolutely no reward whatsoever for playing this. (If you say that just for being a shooter it is a reward, i would rather play TF2)
When those thing are implemented (May 6), i-Šll bet with you a beer that the ammount of afkers will drop next to zero.
Why? Because social interactions > game mechanics.
There will be battles that mean something, and to be part of them, you-Šll join a group. The group will want your participation, and will kill/expel you in case you don-Št do your part. No need for game mechanics, a simple group behaviour will solve the issue.
So, stop sharing a false information that this is an exploit, because it isn-Št. It-Šs a candy for those eagerly waiting for the meaning to appear, because right now, it-Šs just a generic shooter with random people using crappy communication between them (how many don-Št even turn the damn voice system on), shooting meaningless stuff that have no repercussion in the universe. (Save of course, for sporadic events).

Actually what I would find hilarious is how bad of a hit in players CCP would have if they did this. I dont know how they are doing right now but I do know that if they were to implement one of these suggestions (for the lulz) then this game would die. There are enough people that I see AFKing that CCP would take a huge hit in the population that plays this game. If you think the game is bleeding players now if they were to do this they would have tried to stop bleeding players by cutting an artery.
I honestly dont care what other people think of me and I enjoy all the people who cry over AFKers. I do play the game but I also mix in AFK......why? Simple if you create a system where you level out the rewards despite an individuals effort in the game then the individual will stop trying so hard and will simply start doing only the minimum requirement to earn the same amount of reward. Its human nature. This is why socialism/communism systems always fail. They rely on everyone working as hard as they would normally work if they were to receive the fruits of their labor while at the same time giving them the same rewards as someone else who is much less skilled than they are. |

If you think the game is bleeding players now if they were to do this they would have stopped bleeding players by cutting an artery. I honestly dont care what other people think of me and I enjoy all the people who cry over AFKers. I do play the game but I also mix in AFK......why? Simple if you create a system where you level out the rewards despite an individuals effort in the game then the individual will stop trying so hard and will simply start doing only the minimum requirement to earn the same amount of reward. Its human nature. This is why socialism/communism systems always fail. They rely on everyone working as hard as they would normally work if they were to receive the fruits of their labor while at the same time giving them the same rewards as someone else who is much less skilled than they are.
Silly bunny. Myth #3: Under socialism, there is no incentive to work
Socialism rewards hard work, while under capitalism the richest people are the ones who do no work at all. In a socialist society, the working class controls the means of production and the fruits of its own labor and therefore has a real stake in the realization of its full capacity to produce. The main incentive to work under capitalism is the threat of being fired and starvation.
Under socialism, a person is paid according to the work they do. Under capitalism, the least productive members of societyGÇöthe bankers and CEOsGÇögrow obscenely wealthy while working class people live paycheck to paycheck.
Your analogy doesn-Št refer to the afker, it would mean that the CEO of the corp, managing the PI, and the rewards of the mercs work, would be filthy rich, and you don-Št get enough money from your work as a merc.
Plus, you are forgetting all the other variables present.
Why AFK? - Powergaming - Max reward/time - Boredom
How to avoid AFK? - Powergaming (If you participate you get more SP than being AFK) - GIving interesting content to play with - Social response (Ban/Kick, Team Kill)
May 6th will bring a lot of new things for people to play with, things that actually matter, and thing people will kill you for.
Just try to be afk on a real corp match with a good contract at stake and the money of Planetary Interface on the table.

I wrote a long post to reply to this and then realized......I am waisting my time. You have obviously been indoctrinated to believe that the rich are evil or somehow none of them worked to earn their money. I have relatives that would beg to differ with you on that but hey you can believe what you want. What I post here will obviously not change your mind. |

I read a little more of this thread today and I just wanted to say that if the posting behavior of some of the involved parties is any indication of their typical behavior out in the real world, I mourn for the future of humanity.
I'm not going to bother arguing the whole AFK issue anymore, though I do sincerely hope that CCP has some surprise ********* in store for the AFKers. |

Maybe a simple guilty conscious lol. AFK'urs are harmful to the game. It appears CCP doesn't want to take a stand on it (at this time) so it is quite legal. Harmful to the game, harmful to the team of random scrubs you don't care about. If there was such a thing as Karma it would be harmful to that too. Just not against the rules.
Or maybe that its just that I feel sorry for the dead horse that continues to be beaten relentlessly. I didnt expect my 5 second reply to garner a novel in response but thanks for the effort. |

The best way of avoiding a discussion is to end it with your own conclusions. Give me 6 numbers from 1-60 please, since your magic crystal ball can predict the future and probably read minds too.
You used a bad analogy to explain a behaviour that have nothing to do with the analogy.
People work because they like to be productive and do thing they like to. People that continue to do something after retirement live happly, and people that abruptly stop doing things tend to wither and die sooner. You can check studies in Occupational Health Psychology and who know, try to see the world a little bit differently than what looks like a simplifying dichotomy.
I don-Št want to enter an argument over socio/economic systems, specially if you are trying to use your personal references to explain the whole.

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. |

So wait a minute. Are you guys saying that when I'm out of town and have my wife log me in and sit in the mcc that I'm exploiting the game? How about the fact that I'm sitting in the mcc now and after I post this I'm going to hardies to get a frisco burger? Is that an exploit? I think not. What we call that round cheer is a good plan

if you don't spawn, the voice says something to the effect of "your unwillingness to fight has been noted" and other "get back in the fight" type messages. i think that's enough to count as fair warning.

What i-Šm trying to say is that they don-Št need to change their mentality, the other players will do this for them, be it by kicking them off the battle, or shooting them to death.
The "problem" will be solved by the players, not by CCP =)

Loooooots of room to be killed or messed up by strangers. you can do that now.. so this really doesn't apply to you at all does it?
As of now, what can i do at this game that have any kind of impact in New Eden ?
Answer: Nothing.
Why am i supposed to care if all i can do is shoot people in the face?
I-Šm waiting for May 6, then i-Šll join my alliance Dust Corp, then i-Šll do something other than shoot people, i-Šll conquer stuff by shooting people. Whooooooooooooole difference. |

Also, do you really expect to invite strangers to fight for you in corp matches?
That is exactly what i-Šve been saying all the time!
Pub matches doesn-Št matter (for me at least), and corp matches won-Št tolerate afk players. No problem to be solved. |

Pub matches will still be used plenty for new players and people who want a break from PC/FW. Not fixing them would be terrible. |
