For all my fellow AFK farmers;- I will be organizing an AFK marathon tomorrow 1/1/2013.
We start at 8 am EST and will continue till we cap out tomorrow. 900K SP is available for harvesting along with some sweet sweet tears tomorrow.
We can get squads together a farm the crap out of SP tomorrow.
AFK FTSP! |

Why thank you sir! I have fixed the date . |

You would have already capped out. The last time CCP did this, it was a mad rush for that 280 K SP with boosters. I got 200 K that day. Imagine if we get 900 KP SP tomorrow. We don't even have to play till may 6th LOL!

Correction. CCP is working on the SP allocation system so that it benefits both the noobs and the veterans and not the AFK mechanism.
You see other than having a time based SP system like Eve (which everyone wil cry about);- CCP is in a catch 22 system. If they give more SP based on Kills or WPs;- the vets will rule. If they give SP based on time spent in game;- the vets will AFK.
Its gonna be hard to find the balance but as long as SP is based on time spent in a game;- AFKers are here to stay.

Yes many of us do cry for the underprivileged AFK'ers . Us working merc's do feel sorry for you folk and understand the challenged need a helping hand.
We know how it must feel to be New Eden's welfare recipients. I know its not laziness like some try to say you guys are just weak and that's not your fault you were born that way.
As many threads as you create about being on new Eden welfare we all hear your pain since the only way you are relevant and get any attention in the dust community is by being an AFK'er.
Its OK sentient here is a tissue for you.
Hey! If its free I am taking it . The beauty about all this is I will be a million Sp ahead of the curve !

Dude I have done it once before. Its painfully long. You are looking at atleast 30 skirmish games at 30K SP or 60 ambush games at 15K SP.
Either way its time consuming. At 30 minutes for each skirmish game or 15 minutes for each ambush game that's almost 15 hours of gaming. Im telling you there is nothing more draining than that. I am gonna mix it up. Some AFK, some skirmish and some ambush so that I don't drive myself crazy. And once I am done I am putting the game down till May 6th LOL! |

I would do it just because most of the AFK crowd are a-holes about the entire mechanic and their abuse of it.
Back on topic though, it could be a good time to get lots of wins if I am the only one on the ground hacking objectives in skirmish starting Wednesday.
LOL. It doesn't even matter. PC and FW start in 2 weeks. Y'all pub scrubs can stay where you are. We will be in low sec kicking ass or getting our ass kicked. Either way it will be wayyyyyyy better than carrying all you pub scrubs on our backs. |

Kiro Justice wrote: I understand, but...If you just want to AFK, why even play Dust? I don't get the purpose behind it, if not to play.
Its quite simple actually;- CCP does not have a catch up mechanism. So say if I want to take a break for a week and come back in a week, I have lost about 500K SP. In the world of competitive gaming every SP counts.
Now if CCP did have a catch up mechanism there wouldn't be any reason to farm SP.
Hope that clears up the air!
Edit: Its CCP's fault that this game is more of a job to grind SP than fun |

I see. Well, not that your choice really bothers me but if it's not fun to "Grind" there are plenty of games where that's not necessary. FW and PC are coming out soon so it really doesn't matter but...I was just wondering why stay if the game is no fun? Since Grinding SP is ALL the game is at this point.
Dust has a lot of potential to be a real cutting edge game. I want to keep playing this game but at the same time I don't want to go crazy with the bugs and fall behind the SP curve. Games are not fun when you rage.
I have hope that this game will be much better one day and that's why I stick around. While this may make the chickenshit clowns in douche EX mad, but honestly I couldn't give a **** about them.

SoTa PoP wrote:the only thing i can say against you SA is your trying to convert ppl in beleiving this is all fine and get them together to make afking really painful for casuals.
Point taken. I am very good at motivating or demotivating people and what you say about people believing strong figures is true.
However my rebuttal to you is that don't people have their own minds? Cant they think for themselves? If they cant, they will be stepped upon and I rather be the one doing the stepping upon than be the one being stepped upon.
This whole post started out as a haha post because I troll and like trolling. From that is spiraled onto something about honor and integrity and whatever crap shoots out an ********. Heck those clowns from douche ex started another post about how to counter my AFKing. People are so uptight and my mentality is if someone gets butthurt, I will shove it some more.
AFKing is not a problem for casuals. Casuals are the problem for casuals. |

Can't argue with efficiency. For what you're trying to accomplish, it works and you have legitimate reasons. Hopefully we can actually meet on the battlefield on May 6th though. All you forum posters seem like you're really good at the game, and I want to put my skills (or lack thereof) against someone (Non-Pubbie)
Plenty of gudfites coming ahead. Your guys will be fighting Gallente and we will be Caldari. Hopefully it will be more fun that red line pub stomping . |

Fortunately for you and your kind, CCP seems to favor people not playing their game. Here's hoping things get shaken up with Uprising DUST Fiend, you and Sentient both care a lot about Dust as a game. You both enjoy playing Dust. You both want the game to succeed. Stop looking at every difference between your two approaches to the frustration of a long hard beta as insurmountable. They're not. Focus instead on those things we all have in common. Sentient, and every player who has ever afk'd a match in Dust, loves this game so much that they'd rather electronically loiter in an MCC than play Skyrim, Defiance, hopscotch or baseball. Remember that! These players believe that what they gain now by afk'ing will be worth it to them later when the game is updated Everyone should try to stop hating and blaming and flaming and try to understand what the other person is doing. And why.

Just AFKed a game. You wont believe it but one of the guys who AFKed came in number 1. Yes! Number 1! I was number 11 with 0/0/0. There was a dude that went 0/9 with 0 WP. How can you go 0/9 with no WP in a skirmish game?
But I saw honor among AFKers today. People were trying to blow us up but my fellow AFKers shielded me with their bodies.
Sniff! Sniff! Brings a tear to my eye.

Its been 7 grueling hours of AFKing and some gaming here and there. I have harvested 400K SP so far. Its a long road to 900K SP for the day. Will I make it or wont I.
Stay tuned.

I must confess! I have shamed my fellow AFKers. I actually played a few games. I feel humiliated .
I don't deserve the Merc pack giveaway! |
