So I'm starting a list of all people who AFK and putting you guys on blast, as you are ruining the game. When I'm dying constantly trying to take an installation and you're sitting in the MCC, I wanna jump through the internet and break your jaw.
This list will hopefully help CCP see that there's a huge problem and fix this, feel free to add to the list. I'm going to do it for every game I notice it from now on.
Game I'm currently in EKH0 0ne, cr7 jfc, and tyh s are all sitting in the MMC from about the middle of the game on. The first two went 0-0 whole game while tyh s went 1-1. There were two others sitting in the beginning ground spawn but I didn't get a chance to spawn over there and see there names.
Seriously go to Ambush if you wanna AFK, atleast when you hide in the hills your not hurting the game as bad as in a skirmish. |

BTW I understand if you AFK the last few minutes of a completely lost match, I don't do it as I'm hard headed and could care less about KDR but I understand. This list is for people who do it in the begining of a game when all is not lost. |

Sorry your TV is having issues with compatability with DUST, I wasn't aware thats a problem but it's still no excuse to sit in the MCC. Load up a scout suit with dampners and hide in ambush it doesn't hurt the game as much. |

You see instead of Dust 514 I am working on my home theater systems and then I intend to play some Skyrim/Fallout 3/New Vegas.
As far as breaking my jaw?? Lol.
I live in Cartel Land. Theres black humor and then theres Cartel humor. I.e. some trees fell on the main City power distribuition and the City went dark so the Cartel decides to "help" with some emergency City lighting.
Fifthteen metal oilbarrels spaced evenly in the city streets and they did provide light as the gasoline in each barrel burned.
Too bad about the unlucky fifthteen guys who were "selected" to be in the oil barrels. |

Sometimes squad leaders can drag unknowing players into combat with them. You won't see them in the MCC unless their controller gets bopped before they get back... Had that happen to me a few times. Hate to be afk myself...but CCP is incredulously slow at handling any issues.

I'm not sure if you can add me or not. Does it count if you're on top of the MCC with a sniper rifle, forge gun or swarm launcher on the maps without towers? Usually just to survey the battle field and plan how I'm going to get my WP's that game blowing the crap outta installations,vehicles and snipers. |

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. |

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.

most afk tweakers don't realize people who AFK also play. they just start playing when they cap.
why?
you now have a small bankroll. newly minted skills. thus possibly new fittings...
and then we have a weekly SP cap based on time in game.
The OP should cross check his list with WPs, K/D, etc and see how small his measures up to the AFKers. You know. Just for ***** and giggles. |

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. |

This argument has gone on in the forums long enough.. I don't care what reason people have to AFK farm, I assume they are handicap socially in some way. It is a video game, and they are going to "fall behind" in a video game, if they don't log in and ...... what???
What other video game do you expect to log in and earn... something? I think I'll load up EA NHL hockey for a few hours, my team will lose but I'll have some free skills for later.... it is an exploit for no lifers... ***** off.... no really guys, I log in cause EA NHL sucks as is, just bear with me.. I'm doing the right thing,,, what, you need a GOALIE to carry you? Phhhffttt, get good.

He doesn't give a crap about African babies dying from disease and starvation so you can't really be calling on his help here.
My hypothesis is that we are stuck with AFK for a while as CCP just can't risk any negative consequences of "fixing" AFK. The player numbers are just too damned low.

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. 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.
Tanker constantly AWOXed by Bluetard Tank Squatting Scrubs. This is why I AFK. I'll need those Pics of your own Phallis in your Auditory Cavity, at the very least penetrating the Tympanic Membrane. Sign said Image and send with an Unedited Photocopy of your Driver's License/Non-Driver ID, and make sure you have your TV showing PSN XMB Proof of PSN ID, also DUST 514 Avatar displaying Character Name, and your Grandmother holding up your Birth Certificate next to you, during said Act, giving the Camera a Thumbs-Up |

This argument has gone on in the forums long enough.. I don't care what reason people have to AFK farm, I assume they are handicap socially in some way. It is a video game, and they are going to "fall behind" in a video game, if they don't log in and ...... what???
What other video game do you expect to log in and earn... something? I think I'll load up EA NHL hockey for a few hours, my team will lose but I'll have some free skills for later.... it is an exploit for no lifers... ***** off.... no really guys, I log in cause EA NHL sucks as is, just bear with me.. I'm doing the right thing,,, what, you need a GOALIE to carry you? Phhhffttt, get good.

TQ Digital MMORPGs with AFK Bots & Training Grounds (Conquer/Eudeamons/Zero Online)??? Sim Genre??? Fighters w/ Passive Unlocks (MvC2)??? Action/Adventure (Assassin's Creed 2 & up)??? Need I go on??? & LOL @ typical "No-Lifer" Retort..... The Hypocrite ACTIVELY playing a Game calls AFKers (Inactive/Passive Gaming) "No -Lifers" when they are, more often than not, "Living" Life & participating in Other Activities..... Same goes for the term "Tryhard", as if "Trying Hard" to WIN is bad unless it is themselves, whereby they are PRO if a "Tryhard" is not presently making them look quite "Noob"..... LOL, kids these days say the darndest things |

This list will hopefully help CCP see that there's a huge problem and fix this, feel free to add to the list. I'm going to do it for every game I notice it from now on.
Game I'm currently in EKH0 0ne, cr7 jfc, and tyh s are all sitting in the MMC from about the beginning of the game on. The first two went 0-0 whole game while tyh s went 1-1. There were two others sitting in the beginning ground spawn but I didn't get a chance to spawn over there and see there names.
Seriously go to Ambush if you wanna AFK, atleast when you hide in the hills your not hurting the game as bad as in a skirmish.
You're gonna need a bigger list.
However, you can probably get away with just Excel, not enough players to bother moving to an enterprise database. |
