EVE General Discussion

Sure, cause people leaving belts and anomalies to dock and stay safe cause there's an AFK frigate in the system would, on the countrary, stay and proudly fight as soon as a not-AFK roaming gang enter the system :)

Stop being lazy and bad. If you're upset that you can't find a horde of defenceless ratters in every system you jump to its because you're terrible. There are tons of people getting ratter kills and the secret is that they work for it, while people like you make forum threads whining about how you jumped into a ratting system and didnt get free kills and so obviously the game is broken.

I actually shut down an entire carrier farming system out in Outer Rim the other day just because I sat in an Anathema with combat probes out.

There were 5 carriers total. 1 JB'd out and the other 4 pilots all logged off.

Was actually very humorous.

Is it because cloaks are broken or overpowered? Nope.

It's because people are cowards, idiots, and are not prepared to defend their system from a possible hot drop that I could have brought (which obviously didn't happen).

If you are afraid of someone sitting cloaked in your system, its because you cannot defend said system. If you cannot defend said system, you should not be in that system. Nothing is wrong with cloaks. It's your inability to be prepared that needs "fixed".

Should maybe try roaming some active warzones instead of the places that people jew.

Best advice yet.

Hello every one. I would like to say a couple things that's already been said ever since this issue's been brought up.

CCP have said time and again that AFK cloaking was NOT game breaking, how hard is that to understand?? This issue has been argued, debated and beaten to no end and yet a minority of you just keep on bringing this up.

It's long past time to move on. It's long past time to look elsewhere for problems and solutions that we all encounter. It's time to forget that any solution to this is going to make or break Eve as a whole. Yes, I may sound like a politician and rightfully so and yet this issue gets brought up and rehashed so much I wonder how many other's besides me gets sick just from seeing another thread on a worn out issue.

In my honest opinion, I believe we all have a right to play how we choose, I believe that maybe there ought to be a limit somewhere, but the fact remains, AFK Cloaking is here to stay for the forseeable future.

I seriously doubt and I know this from reading the countless arguments and discussions it's time to let it go.

FLY RECKLESS

This thread does little to convince me -- reason why is because I could log on 6 other accounts and post 18 more times in support of my position -- the forums are not a 'said' all to the discussion. In the game people are more prone to admit that cloaking is broken -- it's stupid to say that someone afk for 18 hours in a system is a solid game mechanic. CCP is hesitant to change this because - hey, that's +1 to the online player base and it's 15 bucks a month for the account.

As a player though it makes the game boring because it forces targets into stations - CCP needs to understand this.

This is another issue that needs to be fixed, although the interceptor changes ARE a step in the right direction, still I refer to my last post about cloaking:

lol this again

Same could be said of the many many outposts in null. I have no idea whether you're cloaked, or sitting in your station afk, or at your keyboard sitting in station watching local. Which means I have to suffer the same thing you do whenever I make more than one or two jumps given the ridiculous number of outposts in null these days means there's usually an afk player in a station every few jumps.

At least if you disconnect while you're afk in station, it doesn't eject you into space and leave you sitting there to be scanned down. It does that to me when I'm cloaked and disconnect.
