Coleman Gray GunFall Mobilization Covert Intervention 185	Posted - 2013.04.14 18:00:00 - [1] - Quote Why not play games of skirmish, all be logi bro's and not capture the null cannons, and just take turns capturing turrets ect, shooting each other some, letting each other rep up, repeat. Kill someone, one gets a kill, another gets a revive. Seriously, if your gonna have loads of you farming, at least farm properly.

I hope this post wasnt too complex for your logic.

William HBonney Imperfects Negative-Feedback 324	Posted - 2013.04.15 05:30:00 - [39] - Quote I would prefer if more people camped the MCC. Just like all mmrpgs you gain exp by doing mundane repetitive tasks. In this game it is shooting stuff...hacking etc ....however, because some people are horrible at fpses because it takes twitch skill and situational awareness that most RPGs do not require they put in the "for your time SP". Now this for your time SP just happens to be about 75-80% of your total SP no matter how well you perform during the match. So while I would complain about a guy going 0-10 in a game and getting 200 WP, you guys complain about someone who doesn't have a negative effect on the score. You guys act like AFKers are cheating the system, when SP is a virtual thing and this type of accruing isn't commonplace in every other mmrpg.

I remember back in April of 2012 we had two hundred thousand sp per game and on my best games I did four hundred thousand sp per game. Hey Newberry get a grip. The sp system is much more balanced than when we tossed dirt clods at each other then were were given advanced technology and thus we discovered throwing rocks was much better.

Kill someone, one gets a kill, another gets a revive. Seriously, if your gonna have loads of you farming, at least farm properly. because then they'd have to play, rather than do whatever else they're doing, the whole point of afking is to get sp while doing something else. What's the point of squadding up and afk farming then? Simple: 1) by squadding up only one person needs to do the joining, allowing others to afk with spawn click only 2) by squadding up you can take turns on who clicks the join game, while there is a slight chance the wholly afk ones get reward for a fast ending game without noticing 3) by squadding up you bring more afk into one side of match, resulting in faster matches and faster isk/loot Afk farming is primarily about isk and gear, not sp. SP is done weekly as a side product, you get that in one day's worth of decent play. E.g. I personally just donated 150M of afk farmed isk to corp for PC. Are you contributing the best you can?

The Robot Devil BetaMax. CRONOS. 81	Posted - 2013.04.15 08:06:00 - [43] - Quote I think it is there to help curb the crying. How many tears would pour if the really good players or the players who can play all the time did not get capped? Lots. People would have proto gear in two days and more tears. The tanks would be unstoppable and more tears. Noobs can't get a foothold and more tears. See where I am going? No cap is bad for this game. If you put your first 2 weeks of SP into skills that compliment your play style then there is not problems. Being a noob in DUST is hard but that is life.

I could do this, I have 2 working PS3 at home.

Name me one game where you gain experience sitting there afk not doing anything. You also have to look at it this way as well my biggest complaint is you get 2-3 afk people on your side then add in a few useless snipers sitting in the redzone most of the time so then your team is down 5-6 people so it end's up being 16 against 10 or even worse you get a group of 3 that sit in one tank and hide in the back most of the match so it becomes 16vs about 7. Yes I have been in match's that pretty much follow the example I just gave. Also I always seem to end up on the side with the Afk people
blue gt Algintal Core Gallente Federation 25	Posted - 2013.04.15 09:35:00 - [46] - Quote enough with this no skill cap bull **, IF CCP removed the cap the returns for playing a match would go down so you would only get as much as you do now if you where to play 23/7. so stfu about this ** already. Now on to the subject at hand, you get nothing but deaths counted for as long as you are in the red line. There is no good reason for being there for more then 30 secs a red line spawn ,NONE! whats that you can't see your own red line fine add a blue line to the game to show your own redline.
