If they want DUST to succeed, simply kick these players who are at least gracious enough to add their names. For every consistent AFKer, ten quit DUST a month is my guess. Those ten go on to tell their friends that DUST is stupid and full of people AFKing for some reason... round and round it goes.

Laugh it up fellas, before the game crashes, they will try something as last ditch effort.

Please don't pull numbers out of the air, then base your arguments around them.

The AFK'ing is a symptom of an underlying issue, being that there isn't enough content to keep people interested. The combination of the promise of content with the punishing SP system says you either force yourself to play the game or permanently gimp yourself. If the game was interesting, people would play, and if the SP system didn't cap you out, people could leave for long periods of time without missing anything.

Please don't blame DUST's issues for the mismanagement of your free time. I like the game, the only time I consider quitting is when I see how crappy the community (you) is, and CCPs failure to address... you. If I, a long time high SP player considers quitting because of you, again, my GUESS is there are ten, low SP players actually quitting per month, and then those people tell their friend... its marketing 101. and DUSTs numbers are down, this ain't rocket science.

This list is for people who do it in the begining of a game when all is not lost. Yep, put me on the list. I seriously don't even wait for the respawn timer to tick down.

I'm sorry, but does my post in some way offend you, or does it just go against what you think? I sometimes forget that I'm supposed to blindly agree with everyone. Anyways, I'm not a newbie either. I've been playing since the closed beta and have just over 14m SP. If you fail to see why people are AFK'ing and just look at the consequences of it, then we're never going to find a solution for it that actually makes the game better. The fact that I'm not the only AFK'er should've also made you really think about the wording of your post, making it seem as though I'm out for myself, when really I'm trying to help by showing you why people do what they do. I implore you to ask AFK'ers why they AFK. If the topics "repetitive gameplay", "stale lobby shooter", or "SP system" don't come up in conversation, I'll post pics of me stuffing my male reproductive organ in my left ear.
