Isn't it nice that AFK'ing affords you an option to finish a map with a reward when you can't play how you would like?
For example:
Say you're dedicated vehicle person. You spawn into the match, go to call your tank/ship/shortbus, and lo' and behold... "Denied... Vehicle limit has been reached." Why run around in your crap infantry gear when you didn't skill into any of that? Suicide, then AFK in the MCC for the match. You can put that money towards your next ship too.
or
You maxed out the turret skills. You are THE GUNNER. You go to use your go to installation on the map. Someone beats you to it. They destroy every other installation on the map. You suicide and rest in the MCC, waiting for that match where you can actually man your turret.
or
You're a sniper. Like to find a nice vantage point, and you're great at making impossible shots. You fly a dropship to some mountain/building/volcano, setup a droplink, and prepare to get to work. Then the rest of your team comes in over the droplink, expending it instantly. You're sharing your hiding spot with 15 other snipers. You suicide, and wait out the match in the MCC. There'll be other matches when you can take your sniping role seriously instead of trying to slum it with the weapons you didn't bother training.
or
This looks to be an interesting match-up of corps, except.... why are there 6 people in the MCC? After you die, wait in MCC till end of match. Why make an effort when you're so hopelessly outnumbered? You can try again in another match.

Or when you have less than 2 million SP there is no match making and your opponents don't feel guilty for shitting all over you.... but then again that's just how new eden is. My pvp toon is just sitting in storage accruing SP....
Thing is matchmaking makes sense in the world of new eden.
E.G- Im an employers and my competitor hired the "mediocre mercs guild" to protect his things..... last thing Im going to do is hire the "Crappy Merc Alliance" to deal with them.... nor would I hire "Impeccably good mercs services" to deal with them....
I'd hire "Slightly better than mediocre risk control" to kick those guys our.
TL;DR- Mercs of relatively similar skills are the most common type of merc a true new eden merc is like to find that NPC corps lore wise are willing to hire out. |

Well I'm a tanker and for the x3 event I was staying at a mates house and cause I use kb/m and I'm hopeless without them ran bpo infantry suits and weapons So not to lose millions of ISK losing my tanks.
And I still got To the top of the leader board (1706 wp was the highest I got from memory) sure I changed my tactics. Don't go in guns blazing and aim to cap points instead, which got us through a couple of clutches. I also earned 10mil My kd went down, I died a lot, but it was free and I enjoy knowing that if I managed a kill on the proto stompers they were losing ISK. And I capped 24hrs ago,

I love when folks, like the OP, try to justify AFKing. You could always leave the match and let someone else in -- at least if you do it early enough.
We are talking about a very selfish behavior that makes it progressively harder for the people on the ground to compete (and have fun) as more team members selfishly puss out.
Some of you pusses need to play some team sports and learn how to be there for other people. There can be honor in sacrifice (particularly when it's only a game). Your willingness to suck it up, do something less than optimal for you, for the sake of others says as much about you as hiding in the MCC does
Don't blame me if you are a selfish worthless member of society... I'm just the messenger. |

What we really need is a game mode called "afk farming" where you have two MCC's like skirmish but no assets/null cannons on the ground.
Each match takes about an hour and a half as the MCCs duke it out. Should be able to cap in a game or two at that rate?
i afk farm... a lot.
I do it to remain competitive in PC without having to deal with pub matches.
I'll play sometimes when my friends are on, but I would much rather play my new games on steam while afk farming than actually play dust at the moment. (just got the new tomb raider, SO much fun!)
Its just murder taxis and flaylock pistols in pubs atm... not enjoyable at all. |

I just deleted a person off my PSN friends list because they did AFK in a potentially tough match....so leaving you and the others that AFK and still getting money for it, allows me to leave you behind without much concern on my end either.
AND since when did they make a turret skill for installations? As far as I know they are only for VEHICLE turrets.
IF you only have 1 set of skills you are rather weak, even a noob can get most things that help the team up to level 3. |

People who AFK for a game are low lifes and I have nothing but disgust for them. Trying to justify it with reasons like vehicle limit reached (wait a couple secs and it won't be any more) or their uplink was used by other players ( what idiot puts one down and expects it to not be used? Don't use an uplink with your sniper suit if you don't want allies to join your position or go find another spot if they do) is just moronic.
The number of games I've seen this happen is diappointing. CCP, if someone got no WP then they should get no SP or ISK. Also, the MCC should be treated as a red zone so you die if you stay in it to long. I have also always disliked red zones in general, their should be no area on the map that one side can be in that the other cant be in to. Problem solved. |

While there might be someone who could actually help in a match, but can't join because some idiot just decides to stay in the MCC and do nothing. It makes people angry, and it just makes the afk-er look like a ******! If your not going to take part in the match, then leave! Seriously, your just making your team pick up your slack, and nobody should have to put up with that. |

Honestly.. I hate afk farming as much as you hate me afk farming.
But until CCP implements a system where you don't lose SP at the end of the week if you don't cap... its going to happen. Its just how this game is... you need SP to progress, and CCP has offered a way to gain SP with little effort. You shouldn't be shocked that people are taking the path of least resistance.
SP Rollover + 5 SP/WP + 0 SP/s in battle = what this game desperately needs. |

Honestly i think some classes (like the ones listed) were meant to be subclasses that you spec into after you get a core logi/scout/heavy/assault.
but CCP screwed it up and made leveling a six month grind with a sparse end game.
Should also point out that AFKing is a symptom of the whole SP/leveling mistake in the first place....not the diseases. |

I'm with my corp on this of course. All you afk farmers are just lame, not even a real gamer IMO. I been PC fragging for over 15 years and I wouldn't STOOP to the level of afk farming. If you don't like the game, quit playing. ******* idiots like you farmers are EXACTLY why the server player count goes down a few more players everyday.
Of course I still have my problems with CCP too, I mean what kind of MORONS make afk gaming "Okay"? (The same ones who let snipers sit in the MCC and shoot through the force fields before it was fixed... or pumped TACs way beyond anything else in the game.... or made the new "Speed" heavies that roll around the field with a shotgun pwning like it was nothing... or made the Flaylocks kill mostly in 1-2 shots no matter what.... or... you know what I'll stop with CCP **** ups now, I only have 5000 characters to write this with).
It's like the mouse wheels and every other f'd up aspect of this game. Or how about the meta level 1 tanks that cost 1.6mil fully outfitted and go down with 2-3 AV Nades as long as they are advanced (Meta lvl 3 or higher). CCP should get **** fixed or keep their asses on EVE where it's okay to sit around AFK and wait for people to come through a wormhole and blast them before they can move.
All you tards out there farming should go ahead and make funeral arrangements then commit suicide.... I know I'd be in a better mood reading that in the headlines. You are doing nothing more than ruining a game other people actually might enjoy playing. Don't expect anyone to listen on this anyways, I'm surprised the farmers have the intelligence to even read these posts.... little on reply with any worthwhile excuses as to why it's "Okay" to farm. Stupid ass. |
