Having no idle kick in matches is great isnt it guys

So you decided to join the party then?

I like to imagine all the flaylock shots I put on you killed you over and over again. Screw idle kick, let us team kill these jerks in the MCC. AFK should cost them ISK.

Die in the dirt like the rest of us. To AFK because everyone else is doing it is sh!t. Leave the match and find one where people are playing if it bothers you that much. Also, if this is being done to make a point about "idle kick"...well...think about it. It is causing the problem you are trying to solve.

Sorry guys. I normally don't come on here to b!tch, but to be in the same match on the same team as the OP, then to see him here posting about it has got me steamed.

The solution to fixing a broken game is not to break it more, especially when it still benefits you at a cost to other players who still want to play. CCP could care less about your silent protest. Maybe they can let you skill into picket signs and peaceful dissent. Damn hippies. Buy some passives, and come back in a few months to see if this is still for you.

Hey man, when in Rome Besides, explain how sitting in the MCC with us taking pot shots is really any different from AFKing yourself Not like you were out there fighting the good fight and capturing objectives either
LT SHANKS Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 39	Posted - 2013.07.01 11:14:00 - [10] - Quote When I get into these type of situations, I hop into my best proto fitting, slap and shoot a few guys in the MCC to get their attention, and jump out of the MCC without pressing X. I repeat this process at least 4 more times to let the others know that my deaths are their fault, because they refused to move and help, I took the liberty to off a clone myself instead of having been offed by the opposing team. What does this accomplish? Absolutely nothing, but I sure do have a lot of ISK to waste...

I know, thats what makes it so frustrating and led to my first ever bitching about AFKers thread We had more nodes, had the enemy contained, and then all of a sudden ***** nothing Its demoralizing so I said ** it and decided to wait out the last few minutes then I switched over to Tekken Of course actually getting a match in that is a pain in the ass, everyone just wants to fight guys who they think they can beat and I keep getting kicked out of public rooms and at this time of day ranked matches would have me fighting asians and europeans and I dont want to deal with the lag

Monocle Cognac Universal Spec Ops 26	Posted - 2013.07.01 11:23:00 - [14] - Quote Well, sorry to call you out. I guess we were both p!ssed and handle it different ways. Why I don't agree with your methods, I feel your pain. Like I said, I am not really here to cause drama. Personally, I feel that AFK is something we as players can help stop by example. Who knows though. Could be wishful thinking. See you on the battlefield.

Few months from now, is just going to be about 2000 people AFKing in the MCC every battle. So i rather take my chances with fully active players.

Devs see 2000 players logged in all the time, check the records and see that 99% of all matches have no kills or deaths, just a couple captures.
Khal V'Rani Nephilim Initiative 147	Posted - 2013.07.01 11:48:00 - [22] - Quote I would equate afkers as party crashers myself. They show up, don't bring any supplies or food or drinks, smokes, music, etc. But they bring their mooch friends who bring nothing as well. They were not invited. No one wants them there. And they can't even be useful. Which makes them lesser than a tool because, you know, tools are useful. Afkers are not. They don't even stick around to help clean up the mess they make. Cuz they're all "waaa waaa I'm leaving when xxxx game comes out" or "waaa waaa if this isn't fixed..." This applies to the people who do it all the time or for whole matches.

The problem is not the ability to idle, the problem is players are rewarded equally or better (as they don't lose anything during the match either.) for not doing anything than if they were out there actively playing. Bet if they made it absolutely impossible to idle anywhere, people would still find a way to exploit this. As long as you're rewarded without having to do anything, people will do these kind of things.
Eris Ernaga Super Nerds 247	Posted - 2013.07.01 12:03:00 - [24] - Quote Ha a lot of these same people tell me this is New Eden and then they cry about MCC campers. If the NPC corporations are only making us deploy to the battle but not enforcing that we fight in it then this is New Eden and can I earn free isk and SP for doing nothing. This is New Eden right guys? Plus this is how a average battle goes outside of the MCC... Team starts off disorganized not moving as a team to objectives I jump inside a badly fit militia tank down the road i jump out the tank and try and cross a few meters to get to objective B I get sniped by a red line sniper -262k I respawn at a drop uplink and run a few meters where I think am pretty safe to get forge gunned from the no where -262k I rage and eventually go back to camping the MCC I decide to drive around in a free lav and score several kills and annoy several team mates Win Point is if I am going to skill in to something Protoype I want to be able to use that gear but I mostly just end up getting one shotted from across the map or getting a horrible team thus I MCC camp and gain sp and save isk nor do I have to play in Dust's horribly bad and unbalanced game. Also remember guys just because you are placed on team A don't think for a second that these people will cover you. There out for them selves and will decide to not cover your proto suit even if they are running a militia if it means saving them selves. Stop calling these people you don't know allies because they are not on your team or here to help you. This is New Eden Eris Ernaga

The fact ccp won't even acknowledge this problem in any shape or form. And in fact proabaly would turn around and say it's all part of the sandbox really pisses me off. Dust is not a sandbox is a gated playground where all the swings are broken and the one swings that works u can't use because all the other kids are just standing in the way not using it

The market requires more work.. fkn mining requires more work.. where is this isk faucet in New Eden you speak of?
