Sinboto Simmons SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 362	Posted - 2013.07.04 15:57:00 - [1] - Quote Just got out of a match where 10 mercs were in the mcc the only ones fighting were my squad this afk bs needs to stop it's getting out of hand
Roofer Madness Unkn0wn Killers 23	Posted - 2013.07.04 16:00:00 - [2] - Quote Totally agree. I think it's funny that people's excuse for AFKing is usually, "So what. CCP needs to fix their game. As long as there is no penalty I am going to afk." I just listened to a guy in my corp say this very thing. And you no what. There is no penalty. Except looking like a total **** to everyone else around you. Yeah, I guess there is that....

Let us offer up their names to be ridiculed before the masses. May they be marked as the cowards they are. And let their corporation and alliance members be witness to their misdeeds and shun them. (And maybe CCP do something (penalty etc.) about them?)
Crash Monster Snipers Anonymous 918	Posted - 2013.07.04 16:31:00 - [6] - Quote I think naming and shaming is discouraged... and real players numbers are easily found by going to the eve-offline.net site. C'mon, get with the program.
Defy Gravity Silver Talon Corporation 54	Posted - 2013.07.04 16:35:00 - [7] - Quote It does need to be fixed, its the most annoying thing in the game. And i'm really tired of it. A lot of people have 5k kills with 10Mil skill points from sitting in the MCC all day. I wouldn't say names iv'e got a looong list. But this is a serious issue that needs to be fixed right away.
GeneralButtNaked ZionTCD 489	Posted - 2013.07.04 16:41:00 - [8] - Quote There is triple SP going on and you guys didn't think everyone and their alts would be out to get a piece? Those dropsuit core skills are not going to get 1.4 million SP for themselves, and since I hope to one day build a heavy suit with all proto modules and weapons, I still need to add another million into weapons operation, another mill on top of that for explosives, as well as a million each into fitting optimization. If the game didn't have such an insane amount of grind built in, then maybe people would just be playing for fun.
Poonmunch Sand Mercenary Corps Inc. Interstellar Conquest Enterprises 29	Posted - 2013.07.04 16:55:00 - [9] - Quote +1. The game should auto kick them after 1 minute. You can't snipe from there anymore, so there is no excuse. Munch

Don't hate the player, hate the game If CCP gave people more SP to actually PLAY then maybe you'll see more people playing. As it is I get the same SP from sitting in the MCC watching TV than I do for actually playing. I MIGHT get 1-2k more SP playing, but so what. Watching tv > 1-2k SP

When the bare basic mechanic of ANY FPS is not working right, what do you think the casual gamer going to do? Stay? lolno They go back to greener pastures, CoD / BF. The people that are still here are mostly beta vets, and those numbers are dropping. DUST had 9000+ people... now it's down to an avg of 4000. Uprising should not have been released in the state it was released at. But yeah, AFK people are killing this game
Zyrlux Kytori Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2013.07.04 17:08:00 - [13] - Quote I killed a heavy with Gatling gun today with my Med militia smg. Not playing = no skills. Besides if you arent playing why do you even care to get so. You don't like the game then ******* leave. Standing around and beating off while you watch your sp count go up so you can get dropped by someone with actual skill later and ultimately make you whine to ccp about how the smg is too strong cause it killed your heavy when in reality you just didn't know how to play in a squad or turn around and watch your back isn't helping anyone and all it proves is that at the end of the day you don't know how to work for what you want. You just know how to beg and wait for it to be handed to you.

TEBOW BAGGINS Greatness Achieved Through Training EoN. 644	Posted - 2013.07.04 17:20:00 - [15] - Quote ... posting blacklists? like as if an AFKers gonna care about that. he just laughs his way to the forums and reads about the drama he caused in another pub match. it's like a group of "cool people" saying they're not gonna let some outcast eat lunch at a table the outcast would rather eat alone anyway than be subjected to them. you are mistaken by believing everyone wants to be in on some hippy commune circle of "good players" your blacklist will only make the forums more humorous than it is already, since most AFKers will do the work for you by adding their own name to the list while you stand back in awe wondering why they'd do such a thing such as blacklist themselves.

Watching tv > 1-2k SP I am all for cheating and glitching IN SINGLE PLAYER GAMES ONLY!!! It should not be encouraged, excused, or allowed. Not only is this a multiplayer game it is a team based game. I really don't see the point in playing this MMORPGFPS like it's a single player campaign. Not only are you too lazy to play the game you are screwing your team mates. Congradulations your lazy. Go find a single player game where you can do the same thing. Just please don't do it here and expect to be appreciated. You should leave dust and find something you actually enjoy doing. P.S. I will and do hate the AFK player. Just because you have the ability to do something doesn't mean it should be done.

CCP never stated this was against any rules, neither has the CPM members. Nobody is saying this is a right thing to do, but what can you expect??? The mechanic is in the game! People are using said mechanic to their advantage. You can choose to use it, or don't. Don't come here and judge people for using a mechanic that is working as intended. Direct your misguided butthurtery elsewhere, cuz CCP was warned about this and they did not listen. So HTFU.
Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 5615	Posted - 2013.07.04 17:25:00 - [20] - Quote Its on the roadmap.

This mechanic should have never made it into the game to begin with, but good to know they'll fix it within 3-6+ months.
stlcarlos989 SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 233	Posted - 2013.07.04 17:39:00 - [22] - Quote In my opinion if CCP has a way to track the ones who did it may by looking at SP gains vs WP gains and time in battle, then they should take away all that SP. But I'm sure all the AFKers would rage about losing their "hard earned SP" and threaten to quit. I've played in other games where similar exploits have been found and they took that SP and gave a temporary ban but I feel that taking the SP would suffice and show that CCP is serious about how people play their game but I doubt anything will happen.

I Want ToDie One man clan 0	Posted - 2013.07.04 17:45:00 - [24] - Quote you should not earn sp until you leave the MCC. You could also find out who the worst farmers are and simply ban them. People say that would hurt the player count, but farmers are technically not playing anyway. this game should have remained in beta and have more in-game players that play the game, it's only when people play that you can really test the game.

If you stay behind the redline, and don't get any kills,revives,or repairs,-NO SP. So basically,the only way to earn SP is to have boots on the ground and over the redline.If you are in a tank or dropship and you are behind your redline,and don't contribute,NO SP. It's really that easy.
BL4CKST4R WarRavens League of Infamy 396	Posted - 2013.07.04 18:24:00 - [29] - Quote Factional warfare, have a friend join opponent team kill each others LAVs until you hit the sweet point in participation and your good. Or join a friend in opposite teams, find a lone merc and spam revive him.

We did not get a buff, I have played with many fittings and the only difference between my old fitting and my new fitting is 30 HP, 3% faster, and -5 armor repair. Reason I afk farm every once in a while is to hide from the core flaylock pistols.
