Well you're exactly right OP! And if you know anything about me, man, then you know that I've been receiving a lot hate, both in game and here on the forums, for being vocal about this issue. But then again you know me, I don't give a ****! The way I see, after delving into the minds of the "AFK men", and trust me, OP, I've been there on the fronts line since the beginning of this incident, I've realised that even when you lay down the law on these dudes it doesn't really change anything cause that's how they get by, no big deal there. I let that slide. What bothers me here, is that we have entire alliances that actively endorse this type of behaviour and I just couldn't take it anymore, guys! But you guys know me, man, I always come up with a solution: Here's my 5 step plan to solve this problem. |

Jin Robot wrote:Haha, the reason they do it is the same reason anyone cheats, they want a short cut. Trying to tell me you do it only so you can see ppl cry is not any better, but thats not why, you do it for the exploit of quick and easy SP. You all have the moral make up of a welfare scammer or any of the other wastes of space that exploit systems with no regard for the rest of us. You have no honor and I am just blessed to not have to know any ppl like that irl.
You're exactly right, Jin. The fact of the matter is that anyone who goes into a game looking for a shortcut at anyone's expense and then comes up to the forums to see others "cry" as they put it... Well that's a piece of **** in my books and I don't give a **** what kind of excuses they come up with! |

At least you're being a man about it. This is exactly what I mean, you had to what you had to do, no big deal. You came clean about it respectfully. I don't agree with you AFKing but at least I don't despise you. |

Okay..hope they don't fix it then..you will see when cod players finally come over they love boosting you would never find a good match then you will see why we did this Oh so you're now the hero here? Such a big man! You're the reason they need to use resources on fixing this BS now instead of doing something else for Christ! |

Fact of the matter is that AFKing is ruining game experience for others and you justify it by saying "Oh someone else is going to do it anyways so I might as well do it now"! **** that I say, that attitude is one of the biggest problems we have, not only in this game but in this planet! |

They have nothing to do with the solution because they are the problem! There's 2 alliances in this game who endorse AFK farming and they're one of them! Bottom line, I don't give a **** what anyone says. |

When you start witch hunting before reading you are shooting yourself in the foot. The Imps whether you like it or not have done a lot of the community. More than these ******* clowns who QQ all the time. As long as the job gets done! Thank you, I brought up the fix to afk again once again its up to everyone else though This dude cracks me up, guys. I'm gonna call you Jerry from now on, man. |

At least in that case, the bank robbers would be giving the money back, I bet the AFK farmers will just continue to expect something for nothing with no punishment. Exactly right, man! With all due respect I still prefer my Jerry Sandusky comparison! |

I'm going to have to agree with this. I know a lot of us - myself included - would just take our beating from CCP if they decided to take away the AFK sp - but I doubt most others would be as chill. A lot of threads openly suggest and say they're entitled to CCP's screw up. Hallelujah! The guy actually tries to make sense! |

I seriously hope that as "payment for their help" they get to keep a minimal amount of SP for their "AFK bughunting". 1500 per day since the start of this ****, no more, no less. They profit for their help, though not hugely as I assume most expect to. Well we've got to give Jerry at least 3000 as he was the one who came up with the solution! |

Heimdallr69 wrote:I don't want anything I just want this game to succeed, its a one of a kind Exactly right, Jerry, and that's exactly why I'm so God damn passionate about this whole thing! I mean I'm an intense person overall, everyone knows that, but when I see people who try to eat this great community and game up from the inside, man, that's when I'm going to react. |

A lot of threads openly suggest and say they're entitled to CCP's screw up. Hallelujah! The guy actually tries to make sense! lol - Let me emphasis something for you since you seem new. Every person in this forum - every single one - said not to do SP per second because of AFK farmers. CCP trolls us way too much - and then they do this crap even after a thousand warning and 2 thread juggernauts. for there idiocy I have no problem with AFK farming myself and will not give anyone crossed eyes for doing it themselves - especially the forum goers who are taking the most heat for trolling back. But it's gone beyond telling CCP they're butt-tards. It's become a fad and the 'cool' thing to do. So for me - at least - it's starting to become unacceptable. But it still doesn't change CCP enabled this to happen knowing it would and stated nothing negative towards the part of the community that does do this - and in fact - are qouted as saying it's ACCEPTABLE as they want mercs to play how they want - and that includes sabotage. See here's the thing, man, I have nothing against sabotage, subterfuge or trying do whatever we wanna do when it comes PC and corp relationships and stuff like that. Like you said, it's a sandbox. What I do have a problem with is that when more casual or new players show up and they're expecting to enjoy the gaming experience, all of a sudden you have 4 people AFK on their team! And oh yeah, CCP should have fixed it. They haven't though and that's not a good enough reason to go AFK farm like a ************! It's another thing to protest against CCP, but I have a feeling this whole AFK thing ends up hurting the game and community more than it's gonna motivate CCP. |

Gosh I know I shouldn't feed the trolls but alas my vanity has gotten the better of me. I would lay out an argument complete with support and facts and logic, but since you assume I'm in Dreddit I have to assume you either can't or won't read so that's out of the picture (not an Eve player, just Dust, no Dreddit membership, only affiliation). I will also try to keep this short so you may be able to understand bits and pieces. I earned all of my 7.2 million SP. I have never afkd a single game. I think its cowardly. I think its ******. I think its cheating. And I think it is ruining the game for myself and others who want to play. And people that do it are reaping some of the benefits without putting in the work, and that is ****** to all of us who want to earn everything fairly. Afking doesn't make you clever. You're not being smart by taking advantage of the parameters of the game. It makes you something just short of a cheater. And you're ruining the game for everyone else. I have more to say but I've already said too much. *sigh* Tell 'em! |
