well its my way on saying the game mechanic need to be fix. when the 16th place with 0/20/0wp guy gets 80%+ the sp and isk of the guy in 1st who goes 32/0 that there is a big problem with the game mechanics on rewards. till its fixed I have no problem with AFKers. rewarding people for just breathing is a bad mechanic and that's how I see this one.

Impefects Statement Regarding AFKing

Need I say more.

you should of said America has a obesity problem because America is working on the drug problem with law enforcement and laws while CCP isn't doing an kindof hunting AFKers and there's no rule stating I have to do anything but spawn in. btw you are being mean to the Taliban, they just need some love and they'll be the next wave of tree hugers. your point is invalid.

Yes because we all know imperfects are so concerned about having a good image on the forums or in the game......

Seriously where have you been. Imperfects image is that we r the biggest trolls in the game....AFKing would just serve to enhance that image.

This is what come's to mind when I see people AFK

AFK does not adhere to the rule of cool



BURN IT!!!

I've argued against AFKing in the past, and that won't change.
But, why not at least snipe hunt and do something that's safe enough for you and could be interpreted as helpful to your team? Use Starter fits, they work just fine.
Or MCC AFK in Ambush - you can get 2 -4 matches in in the same amount of time and be up 3000-7000 SP ahead of someone ruining skirmishes for corpmates.

I played afew AFK MCC games,from playing these i can tell,The players bring up this "AFK farming crisis" are loons. No one is in the MCC most of the game(besdies myself in the ones iv played), it's only when it's a losing battle that i see more people chilling in it but that's when the enemy has most of the control points and your teams MCC is down pretty bad while other team still has their shields.

I cant blame them,why risk your suit when a game is about to end or you know for a fact your team is just doomed at that point?

my suit is free... so yes it is too expensive. hey when i play i carry 6-8 people most games 1-2 of which are AFKers but hey i play because i like playing, i AFK because i need to do other stuff and haven't capped out and i really hate the reward system in place right. i stop AFK matches when im capped because then i feel rewarded for actually playing rather then just spawning in and breathing for the match. its like getting reward for turning on the game was 90% of the reward why would you do anything else.

You lose me at sportsmanship in pubs

AFKing does not ruin the game. AFKing does not mean that you are having others carry you, or that there is somehow a lack of honor or principle. CCP wanted to make a game that used exp to give it that rpg feeling, not a bad idea, mix a fps with rpg. The only problem is then grinding, this game, for the most part is a PvP, and being such requires that if one wants the greatest advantage they must put in the most time. Just like all RPGs there is mindless farming that occurs.

This game is no different. If someone likes to play the game and they die 15 times and get no kills while only getting 200 WP they have done more harm then an AFKer. So why don't we hear an outcry against them? Because they are trying? Play the game how you like to, it is the fault of that bad player that MCC camping is a viable option. You guys should be yelling at the scrubs to get their game up to par so that the SP rewards aren't heavily impacted by the time you spend in a game.

My new favorite is the guys who just stand in the MCC but aren't AFK. A common one I've seen is two characters, usually a heavy and a logistics that reps the heavy so you can't suicide the heavy. The logistics is usually at the controller and runs around so you can't suicide them. It's hilarious since wellGǪ there are still actively playing the game, just not leaving the MCC! Your'e not even getting the "away" benefit of being AFK.


I mean I get it, most of the matches now are utter futile and completely pointless after the first three minutes, and when the team is camped back to the red line, I see the point of standing in the MCC, go for it. But to start a match at your controller never jumping out is ridiculous!

Say goodbye to the AFKers and the useless shithead snipers.

I'm talking about the ones who are "sniping" from the MCC, anywhere else where they can actually get a good view of reddot positions is valid, MCC not so much.

come on really

Uprising in 7 days. Who the heck cares.

Unlike AFK farmings, I actually enjoy this game, so if I feel like not playing it at times, I just don't collect the SP that I didn't earn.

It's ok to have a little honor in games, even if it puts you at a disadvantage to the dishonorable.

Oh you mean the players that are the reason why CCP started the SP gain per second instead of making SP gain relative to performance?

You just lost 2.2 million SP

Do tell - who's your super secret source?

If match-making was fixed and every skirmish didn't turn into a redline affair because your blueberries weren't up for the fight against a squad-stacked team, I highly doubt AFK'ing would be a problem. Couple this with the lack of a method to catch up on SP if you miss a few days and you could eliminate all AFK grinding.

I prefer to kill level 1 boars outside of Stormwind to level up.

they said they are making an anti-idle system which means i'll need to pull out a few rubber bands now...maybe

Who cares?

popped your like cherry

AFK = wasting time?
I dont think you know how it works lol.

One solution would be a redeployment timer. Say 1 min. if you don't redeploy to the battle field in that time then you are removed from the game. Otherwise what happens on the battle field is what happens. If they are on the field they are risking a dropsuit, you just have to find them. I have spent battle just practicing flying the dropship. You should be allowed to do that.

I think they should be kicked out of the MCC after 30secs. In the airborne of you dont jump at the door they push you. Same should apply here.

why is this still going on? just let it die already, CCP isn't going to fix it.
