Very troubling to see a vast amount of the AFK Exploiters boasting on forums with out any type of action by the game developers.


This is a first for me .... people are actively ruining the game experience for others and theres no action ingame nor on the boards.


I hope the next patch fixes the AFK Issue ....has there been any word if it does from people from fanfest?

I was AFK all day yesterday, and I guess it did have to do with getting a shortcut, or at least a step ahead. I didn't have the time to actually play, but I didn't want to let 3 weeks of SP go to waste either. I did the only logical thing.

I know a few that do this just to have ccp work on fixing it you may not notice that but a lot of people are doing it for that reason

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.

Jesus Christ that's the most dumb thing I've heard ever since I entered these forums, and that's saying a lot! That's like saying Jerry Sandusky was just trying to make the cops to catch more child molesters!

Explaining sense to the ignorant is like snowboading in the Sahara. Try as you may you aint gonna get it done.

+1

well you guys do have a bad rep

Never heard an afker say they do it to **** people off, but shouldn't that be an even bigger reason to deal with it?

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*

We were the first beta testers yet we are disliked and ignored

And yet here you are, responding for the umpteenth time.

Nobody "GAF" about how much SP you have, dude.

You aren't really the issue here; 9v15 pub matches and the game's hemorrhaging of new players is the problem

Give mercs the freedom to play how they want, regardless if that kills the game. Call it AFK 514 and watch it sink. Nobody will give that game second look. You would have it all to yourselves, till you all decided to go "help" some other game..right into its grave.

So some new player tries this game and has multiple options for content (you are a spoiled brat) and joins a match. He sees you and five of your buddies chilling in the MCC. Your team is destroyed. New player never comes back, therefore never has a chance to be upset about "lack of content". Your logic is as flawed as your morals.
