Wasn't the weekly SP rollover supposed to be implemented in Uprising after we all voted on it?!

New here, whats that?

New here, whats that?

You spent 200 on this POS?
Lol haha

And I regret not one cent. It's a great game, but it needs some of the potential realized before it becomes epic.

Tbh, on top of that $200 (rough estimate, probably more), I was planning on buying an elite pack. Y'know, so people would silently "wtf" themselves whenever they see a 'Dren' kill.

The Elite pack is not that bad, dren logi and dren sentinal rock. swarm launcher is junk, rifle and shotgun is fun. It's like getting a bunch of free stuffs for buying 200k aur. I figured I'd just go with the bigger package at once vs buying several 20 dollar ones over time. Just like you , I have spent nearly 200 on this and do not regret it. Tank pack is pretty sweet for 10 bucks aswell.. just stay away from aerial lol

Its your money so do as you will which reminds me.,,,
ITS MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW !!!!!!!!!
You're welcome.

DO YOU HAVE ANY KITTENING IDEA HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO GET THAT COMMERCIAL OUT OF MY HEAD?!

Also, you just lost the game.

Why I AFK in the MCC: I don't

No one should be rewarded for not playing.

No one should be rewarded for not playing. If I don't play, I don't cap. I haven't capped in almost a month now, and that's fine by me; I haven't played.

So you are going to AFK to rack up SP and ISK for more AFKing, instead of playing the game and earning even more SP and isk (Only nincompoops lose money) so you can enjoy the next round playing...

So why bother playing if you AFK for the sake of AFKing? I don't have the time nor the will to leave myself AFKing just to AFK some more, there are far more entertaining things in life and I'd rather play.

But hey, to each their own, whatever floats your boat. /shrugs

Well thats your perrogative and you are free to follow it, but no everyone else thinks alike, and bottom line, anyone can do whatever anyone wants with its character as soon it spawns, havind said that, the consecuenses of whatever they do should be a factor wherether being punished or rewarded. IMO of course.

I'm just some random nub

blah blah blah

There's only one reason to AFK. That reason is, is that you're a selfish douche who thinks you're more important than the other 15 members of your team that you are screwing over.

If the game is boring, don't play.

This game already gives you passive SP. How big a douche do you actually have to be in order to still AFK?

None of your justification is meaningful because it's all about you. You, you you. In the meantime, you are part of the problem by helping ruin the game for people that actually do want to play. Please leave.

This is where the problem lies. As soon as I decide to take a break, I permanently put myself behind the crowd with no hope of ever catching back up. The game will not allow you to get back to where you could be if you miss just one week of SP capping (unless you want to do at least 180 1k wp games consecutively within a few days).

It's still a great game, and as prevoiusly stated, I have every intention on returning. I just don't like the fact that as soon as I do leave for the first week, I'll forever be behind, no matter how hard I try to catch up. This is why we have MCC AFK'ers - we get to stay caught up, while not playing. A rollover SP system would allow you the opportunity to work your way back up, but as it stands, this is the only way.

Isn't Derpship piloting in the same ballpark as AFKing? It's not like you're gaining WP or anything...

Now, as for why I actually AFK - I don't really want to force myself to grind every week to hit the SP cap. If I miss out on one week, that's 270k SP (I run boosters) I miss out on. The game punishes those that don't hit their cap every week, and I really don't want to fall behind everyone else.

Not entirely true. Once you have around 7~8 million SP you can have both proto suit and weapon you want to specialize +core skills. After that you can simply quit playing if you're bored and let passive SP accumulate till next build. But you spent $200 (wow) on boosters and **** and I can agree you're right now forced to AFK so that you consume those active boosters and not let them go to waste. After you consume them I highly suggest you take a break from Dust till next build/update.

Firstly, I'm quite comfy here, thank you. *Sips tea, adjusts monicle, and continues watching through the MCC shield*

I'm not trying to justify taking up a slot that would otherwise be a player contributing. I know it's detrimental to the other legitimate players. I'm explaining the reason why it's done. Whether or not you agree with it is a non-issue, since it'll be done either way.

Also, while yes the game does give you passive SP (bought 3 Omega boosters :3), it just doesn't compare to the amount you'd get when combined with the SP cap, being 180k (270k on a booster). If you don't combine the two, then you're going to be left hopelessly behind the rest of the flock, which is why we have this problem in the first place.

The rolling SP cap that's been talked about would fix this issue, allowing you to "save up" potential SP. So if you missed your cap last week by 30k, it'll carry over into the next week, giving you 210 potential SP.

As it is right now, you're being punished for not forcing yourself online every week to cap out. Whether or not you think it's fair that this alternative means of gaining SP exists (AFK MCC'ing) is also a non-issue, since, again, it'll happen either way.

I created this thread in hopes of some feedback as to the current situation of the game. The routine has become stale. If you've read previous posts made by me, I'm a diehard CCP fanboi that'll generally stand by CCP's views. I'm not even trolling when I say I'm doing this to better the community by bringing it to everyones attention why we do what we do. We're not proud of it, but how else are we to remain competitive without tearing our eyes out? The game as it is plays as one big grindfest a week, followed by 6 days of doing something you actually want to do.

Also, don't think I hate the game or anything. I love this game. I've been playing since Mordu's Private Trials, and back then, all of the visions CCP had for this game got everyone excited for the future, which we were hoping to be sooner. I'm not DEMANDING anything happen RIGHT KITTENING NOW, but the current state of the game leaves a lot to be desired. PvE will definetly have me clamoring back, and if I'm reading what the devs are talking about right, the slew of new things should keep people interested in playing (not AFK'ing) for the long term.

Finally, your last comment. I know I'm more important than the other fifteen proles romping through the sand. Why, you may ask? I'm The Amazing Flying Pig. I don't need an explanation. I'm me, they're them, and I'm vastly superior in all feats of strength and agility, more knowledgeable in all subjects (both academic and "street"), and make a fine roast when seasoned properly and turned slowly over an open flame.
