Because the game (In theory) will only get better, we want to get as much SP as we can so we're not short on any once we get Uprising.

The game is broken, there is something wrong when I can play a match of Skirm get +1000 WP and get 4k SP, but when I AFK camp I usually get 5-6k SP.

Its ridiculous.

This silly thread again? How much of this thread is out there?

AFKing is simply a symptom of the disease that is Experience. I've played MMOs for years and all of them are the same and all of them suck. Grind up your level, grind up your gear, grind up new gear, grind up new gear. (Note I don't play most MMOs anymore).

Trying to fix AFKing is just going to lead to new and exciting ways to break the system.

Switching to a WP only system seems like a good idea until you realize how easy it is to break WP just by dropping some uplinks before you go AFK.

Kicking people out of the MCC seems like a goof idea until you realize someone will just park a dropship on top of a building and that also allows people to spawn in on him while he is AFK enjoying the view.


This is like DRM. You make DRM to hurt hackers and thieves, but they don't care. They break the DRM a day later while the common customer is cussing because he got viruses from watching to much **** and now is over his 3 install limit.

I've read reasons for doing it, excuses like "this game is boring", "this game is broken". Well, then why do they still log on and waste their time doing it. Maybe the game would not be so boring if they... Played the game. Just a theory though...

come on really

Sentinent Archon, at it again. Thoughts?

Uprising in 7 days. Who the heck cares.

IRuby Heart and a ton of other people, apparently.

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.

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?

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?

I refuse to play this game until May 6th. Stopped playing the day before 3x SP

That doesn't even make sense

You just lost 2.2 million SP

I read CCP has a plan to stop AFK Farming... Glad to hear it!

Ever heard of a thing called practice? New players will die often, though, if they stick with it they can get better. Yelling at them will not make them better players. I am against AFK'ers because they DIRECTLY affect me. In other RPG's you mostly affect yourself. It is unfortunate we can not isolate these AFK'ers to lobbies only full of other AFK'ers.

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.

Meh... My pride is worth more then that

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.

CCp said that they are looking in to it, for Uprising. I am going to see whether they actually do this.

As an AFK farmer I would absolutely love to see this implemented.

If I could have a skirmish game go for close to an hour while the null cannons stay idle and the MCCs just shoot eachother. that would be awesome.

Could get 45-60k SP per game that way!

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

Is AFK farming fixed with the release of Uprising?

Who cares?

I hope all the AFKers recieve bacon 4 all their hard efforts!
