We should start a shame board on here listing all the AFK losers....

Ccp can't afford it. Player numbers are critically low already.

The real player numbers are already being obscured by ccp so removing afk would be a killer

OR people would actually play the game, since most of the time people get redlined is due to half the team being afk in the MCC.

Only afkers belive that afking is good for the game

Besides if you arent playing why do you even care to get so.

lol... blame CCP's built in mechanic.

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

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.

Its on the roadmap.

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

When my armor suit stops being gimped ill stop afking. Actually I am farming SP to switch to a Minmatar suit.

There's no mechanic ccp can put in to stop afk players that I couldn't work around.....

Besides who said I like my team? Maybe I'm a double agent ensuring your loss.

Armor got a huge "buff" thanks to the new plates. Play around with some fittings and don't talk about it on here.

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.

it is very easy to work around any limitation CCP sets. The best way to fix this is to incapacitated SP and link it to WP you gain, and ISK you risk; so you can still afk farm but if you play you can get 3x more SP and ISK. My risk/reward needs to be balanced, at the moment the risk of playing is higher than the reward. But the reward of not playing is greater than playing with a risk. For example if I die 2 times I already lost money because no matter how good i play chances are i wont get over 200K isk.

Sure there is.

If you don't leave the MCC.-NO SP.

If you stay behind the redline, and don't get any kills,revives,or repairs,-NO SP.

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.

Yes!!!
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?)

Don't hate the player, hate the game

What happens if:
- They don't care.
- Their corp doesn't care. (many don't at this point.)
- They're not in a corp and don't care to join one. (Just playing now and then for no reason.)

There's also the fact that many individual players don't care either, and its quite likely only a handful will read said list to begin with, plus there are tons of players that AFK outside the MCC and in various corners of the map, this would only cover a handful of them,

Besides, do you think they'll just go "Oh no I am ashamed, I must stop AFK-ing/ stop playing now"?
Heh, please if it was that simple to solve the problem, it would not exist anymore.

There's no quick or easy way to eliminate it, as long as you get rewarded as much for doing nothing than by actively playing, this will keep happening.

Use cheaper dropsuits adv gear is very good for pubs and pull out proto when the other team has it my adv dropsuit with a devolve is only 70k and I usually get 300k+ ISK a match

So do pubstomps, which STB seems to be the worst culprit of it I have seen.A lot of things need to stop and I am sure they will eventually. Until then I will be chilling in the MCC everytime the other team is pubstomping or running 6 murdertaxis,or when I just plain don't feel like playing but want some free SP.

Pubstomping? Stb? Not anymore then any other corp.

Unless by 'pubstomping' you mean not sucking

Making excuses as to why you stay in the mcc are just that : excuses.

LoL you troll!

I can make 11,000 SP while I spend the 20 mins taking a deuce and trolling these threads or spend the 20 mins in the game and only make 14-15,000 SP.

taking a deuce and trolling these threads > playing broke game

Yes yes and QQing is just that : QQing
B itching is just that : B itching


Well that an easy and lazy comeback wasn't it?

I am not saying AFKing is the most legit thing ever nor do I ONLY do it for pubstomps,I often do it for the **** of it or while I am doing something else.No excuses from me dood.If pubstomps and everything else stopped my ass would still be in the MCC for about 25-50% of my matches.

It's sad really I'm trying to get a ligament problem of the game fixed and all you can do is make excuses as to why your exploiting a mechanic and troll.

Your corporation should be ashamed of you, and you should be ashamed of yourself as a man.

I never said it was against the rules. Killing people is a mechanic of life doesn't mean I'll do it. It's not butthurtery it's more a moral sense for the greater good, not being little kids looking out for only themselves.

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

morals in a game... not sure if serious

Ccp can't afford it. Player numbers are critically low already.

No, actually, it wouldn't.

Since we don't know exactly how many people are on TQ from Dust or Eve, removing AFK becomes easier.

I'm betting things would seem more active too.

The only tell would be that you'd see the same names more often.

I'd like to see spawning at the MCC start you in free-fall. That way they want to afk they have to do it on the ground and at least have a chance to getting killed. That and I hate mcc snipers.

Or the fact it is against forum rules to make such a list.

That sounds like something an afker would say.... :)

We should start a shame board on here listing all the AFK losers....
