Sylvana Nightwind Expert Intervention Caldari State 268	Posted - 2013.04.18 05:46:00 - [2] - Quote Yeah they probably have miltiple designs in plac right now. It is actually quite hard to make good anti-afk system without breaking other things sometimes :) But it is good to hear that they are working on it actively.
Elijah Sol' Dzusaki Onward Defrosted Tuna Team 545	Posted - 2013.04.18 05:51:00 - [3] - Quote The best anti-afk is changing skirmish into battlefield 2142 titan mode.
Maken Tosch OPERATIVES OF THE GOAT 2029	Posted - 2013.04.18 05:54:00 - [4] - Quote How will CCP be able to tell apart AFK players from legit players who are doing strictly recon from a single location?
Heathen Bastard Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 156	Posted - 2013.04.18 05:59:00 - [5] - Quote have it check the MCC? if they afk on the ground, they can be killed and autokicked already.

Why is that game not mentioned more on these forums!!!! It was what dust should be basic gameplay wise!! IE good spawns, cool veh(with cool spawns) Cool MCC's (titans) Back when EA made good FPS games. WE NEED THAT TO BE HOW MCC's play!
Vaerana Myshtana Bojo's School of the Trades 697	Posted - 2013.04.18 12:45:00 - [7] - Quote If you sit in your yellow zone too long, you automatically respawn in your most expensive fit in the midst of the largest group of raspberries? Threshold starts at one minute, then thirty seconds, and finally fifteen?
buddha blezz Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 13	Posted - 2013.04.18 13:15:00 - [8] - Quote i hope also retroactive measures will be taken for people who exploited this loophole to remove the advantage they gained by unfair play

Give 10 SP per WP in a match and no SP for time spent in a match and boom, there you go. You only get rewarded for performance instead of sitting around doing nothing.

Then the newbies argument about going 0/10, but that's easily fixed by SP cap matchmaking (1 mil SP for example). Even if vets are playing, gear isn't a dominant fact in the game and noobs can actually kill. Also should reward non offensive actions more. Then again, Dust being F2P attracts people that don't even know how to aim...

BMSTUBBY KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 135	Posted - 2013.04.18 18:12:00 - [11] - Quote Quote: We do have some ideas and this will be fixed and implemented eventually eventually = CCP's new "Soon Gäó"

Spkr4theDead Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 51	Posted - 2013.04.18 20:30:00 - [14] - Quote Someone has to run out for something? Someone has to get their kid? Someone has to go to the bathroom? Someone's dog just made a mess inside? Someone has to change/feed their kid while their significant other is out? There's plenty of legitimate reasons that some people sit in the MCC, and are in a squad as well.
KalOfTheRathi Talon Strike Force LTD 341	Posted - 2013.04.18 21:27:00 - [15] - Quote Yes, if one reads the Weekly Updates in both Feedback/Requests and the Technical Support/Bugs Forums one will know these things and not have to post them as a discover.

There's plenty of legitimate reasons that some people sit in the MCC, and are in a squad as well. These are all good reasons to be kicked from the match though. You aren't contributing. I agree all the things you listed would take priority over a game. It should be fine, then, to be kicked from that match. It's not like you can't queue up again once you're ready to actually play.

Spawned into a dropship today and spent at least 5 minutes hovering next to the MCC.

At least half of my SP and ISK are from inside the walls of the great MCC, I'm sure CCP is going to chance resetting the many players that AFK and risk losing even more players. The base is wearing thin as it is. There will be no "resetting the AFKers only"

The base is wearing thin as it is. There will be no "resetting the AFKers only" You're probably right, but AFKers are hardly the base. You're part of the problem, and part of the reason new players may not stick around.
rpastry Carbon 7 37	Posted - 2013.04.19 09:03:00 - [24] - Quote No SP gain while in the MCC would go a fair distance to addressing it. OFC they just hide somewhere but at least ppl can run them over once they're on the playfield. AFK farmers are asswipes. They dont care about anything but the SP... for a game they are ruining for everyone still playing.
Cosgar The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 25	Posted - 2013.04.19 09:10:00 - [25] - Quote If they implement a function where the entire team can vote to kick players from battle, that should take care of AFK farmers, redline snipers that don't contribute, griefers all in one felled swoop. Let the inmates run the asylum!
