Simple.
Make the inside of MC a dead zone like the red line on the map. "You are cotractually obliged to enter combat", so if you don't get out of the MC in 20 seconds and join the dame, you're dead. Event better, kick them out of the battle altogether with no SP gain.
Would also solve the issue of sniping from the MC, which is most annoying. |

Eh?
I was under the impression you can't shoot down from the MCC. Actually, i'm 99% sure of that. |

I've seen snipers doing it, had not realised that their shooting must be nullified by being inside the MC though.
Ignoring that, what do you think of the Dead Zone vs AFKers idea? |

No big deal, I'll go hang off a redline ladder somewhere  |

wish they had a system where that AFK players will lose 5 million ISK and about 2000 SP for being AFK.
just being kicked out or having no SP/ISK gain won't deter most AFK'ers.
i think a harsh punishment where they actually LOSE ISK and SP for being AFK. |

This isn't the first thread with this suggestion.
It's one of the better solutions to the problem, and I've +1ed it before. +1 to you for bringing it back into the light.
But as mentioned, sniping from the MCC hits the inside of the "shield" that stops incoming fire.
Dropping grenades onto enemies doesn't hit the shield though, so that works just fine. |

AFK is a sypmtom of burnout.
Add in the incentive to grind for the Endurance event, the fact that a single merc cannot change the course of a battle and you have a winning formula for Conscientious Objectors. |

Burnout is natural at this point for peeps who have invested heavily in DUST. And just like swarms, REs, dropship waffle-pressing, lag-tanked scouts and many other issues I've forgotten, the MCC afk'ers are performing a useful, if annoying role.
I don't disrespect it, but for myself i'm psychologically unable to not fight for my team.
Just wanted to say that a single merc can effect the course of a battle. For most, this won't be through their elite super-killer-rambo-soldier skills, but through the placement of uplinks, the hacking of a suppressing turret, the taking of a CRU/NullCannon, reviving from the back of the line in a heated firefight, etc. Sometimes it means resetting your uplinks back in the safe zone so your side can't clone themselves too fast =P
But there are certain mercs, who when i see them running solo on the other team of bluberries, I know we have a fight on our hands. |

Why fix it? With so many other things broke with the game.
On Monday and Tuesday I played 5 games like I should as part of the Human Endurance Tournament, all Monday and Tuesday I got 0SP petty much as I had already hit my cap. There was no real incentive to play.
I did try on Monday to win but when half of your team are sitting in the MMC, it makes it hard.
Tuesday, I thought I'd see if I could make a difference still but no. Half a team again. And now they are savvy about it too.
I used to be able to stand in front of them and suicide grenade them, but now when the AFK, they used a good suit so I can't take them out that way.
The rewards from the tournament are already being dished out today, and if I play 5 times a day, I get a little menu of stuff for free. I would hit my SP Cap in a day or two of normal play anyway.
Here's hoping the update on the 6th solves a few things and adds more to the game because at present it's going nowhere fast. |
