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.

Doink!

you two must have a lot in commom. i bet you two just yell at eachother all day lol now stop feeding ppl your tears and comparing me with your version of jenza lol

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.

Hell yeah I do! As I said when I get fired up, I either yell or make beautiful love. Sometimes both at the same time. Speaking of which, did you grow ******* hair yet?

your a classic. You start with a huge post that said only 1 thing - you get mildly trolled and then bring in sex girls and hair with lots of cussing. is it wrong to love you? Dont worry i wont be like your apperantly bad g/fs ill love you no matter how dumb you look ^^

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

You know guys, I was told by the dudes that there's a strange phenomenon going on here in the forums and one of them suggested that I take a look and see what I can do about it. What I'm of course talking about here is the age old "lazy piece of **** syndrome" like I tend to call it. Now the people who know me, also know that I'm dealing with these type of punks on a weekly basis in my personal life so I guess you could say that I've got some experience on the subject. That being said I rarely reply to these type of threads cause you know me: I don't give a ****! This time it's a little bit different though and with this post I'm gonna perform some straight talk, and here's how I'm going to lay it down for you guys. First I'm going through some of the reasons that make this whole thing curious, then I'm gonna delve a little deeper and give these guys some life advices. And guys remember that this is not a naming and shaming type of thing and I don't try to be too hard on you guys.

Now, guys, we've seen a lot of lazy fucks here on Dust 514 so that's nothing new but there's a key difference here with this new breed of lazy fucks. Let me give you an example: You guys remember when Mr. Spero from Imperfects was caught with his virtual pants down AFK farming in that MCC, guys? Well like any other aspiring CPM member he tried to weasel out of it, no big deal guys. That's a normal reaction guys. Not blaming Spero or anything. There's a chance the dude has turned over a new leaf and stuff like that. The point here is that the guy was ashamed of what he had done and he did what he had to do!

So that brings me to the current situation and the new breed of AFK farmers: The EoN alliance. Now let me be perfectly fair here and note that they probably have a small percentage of members who are stand up guys, so I do apologise to those few good dudes. As I said this is not a naming and shaming type of statement, boys and girls. Anyways it ends up that the EoN dudes have come up with this gimmick where they are proud of being lazy fucks! Man, would I love to hear the background of these guys! Everyone who knows me, know that I've been born and raised in a culture that values hard work, honesty and earning your own keep. Well EoN let me send a message to you guys right now: You haven't earned **** in my books!

So I tell you what, guys. You go read some Hemingway, then you take your pencil necks out of your apartment, come over and mow my lawn. I'll give you guys a couple of bucks so you can go buy yourself a few ice cream sandwiches. And that's everything I have to say about this subject, boys and girls.

Mildly trolled? I'm pissed man! But I tell you what, man as you seem to like my style. You join my channel Ric Barlom Talks and we'll have a little Dust talk show. You can be the comedy relief. BTW do you need helium to sound like you do or is that all natural?

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.

My methods are unorthodoxed but it does get results

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.

so all it takes is saying your full of tears - gotcha. Ill try to remember you have the emotionality of 3 y/o whose truck rolled out of his reach and crys for it lol

No one cares if you AFK, aside from some carebears, but there's no reason to constantly make stupid and pointless threads about this. You AFK, I AFK, CCP knows we AFK, cool story bro.

You're still going on about the tears, aren't ya? No, seriously bro, I apologise. Didn't mean to bully your ass. Just get yourself a job and start earning your SP in game too and we're settled.

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.

lol this guy bullied me by cussing a lot. did you get your girls by yelling loud enough too? lolol

The funny thing is, all the vets that have been pretty much exclusively afk for a while now, have left a large gap, where new players have been honing their skills and getting SP.

I highly doubt the competition that will face the few that hardly actively play will be the same as when they decided to start to perma-afk.

Maybe some will relish that fact, but I imagine some will feel as though they are entitled to be better at the game and will cry when they are not.

It does turn some of them on, you know.

I still play some matches but usually not till I am capped so im not afraid of the new wave of players I have still some tricks they never seen and this is true for most of the AFKers vets and I never play for the fair fight like most of this new wave of players do. it'll be fun once may 6th comes about

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)

Your methods aren't unorthodox, they're abusive to the current system. Fortunately for you and your kind, CCP seems to favor people not playing their game.

Here's hoping things get shaken up with Uprising
