Seriously. When is CCP going to fix this dumbass broken mechanic?

There is ZERO counterplay to this low-ass, dirt-bag, pussyfoot mechanic.

Let's look at the options you have when you are being cloaked:
-Dock up, don't talk in local and hope he gets bored.
-Continue about your day and hope he's bluffing.
-Try to bait a fight. Completely stupid because the cloaker has 100% of the control on when to engage.
-Move systems(really?)
-Log off.

Seriously, this **** is so broken. No counterplay to this at all and one pilot can shut down an entire system.

Thoughts?


A thread about afk cloaking. This must be something new.

I have this dream of parking an alt in a cloaked phoenix in an enemies ratting system. It does nothing for days at a time but every so often it comes out of hiding, blaps some hapless ratter and then returns to its slumber.

That's fantastic and Needs to happen.

You want to talk about broken gaming mechanics?

How about docking inside a station, snuggling into a hangar large enough to comfortably house a freighter. And casually panning around, you notice there are other docks above, below, and all around you. Within this little corner is your warehouse of modules, ships, and other oddities collecting dirt and dust. And taking a station like Jita 4-4, there are at least one thousand plus other pilots with all their stuff lying around. Let's not forget all the brokers and workers buying and selling transactions on a rapid basis...

Yet you can NOT look out a friggin' window to see if someone is right outside waiting to gank your ship?!?!?

That is broken!!!

Are people really that terrified of one unknown person?

I still just can't believe that's a real thing.

Waffles have had a mostly AFK cloaker in my home system for 3 days now that occasionally refreshes his combat probes.....but it's not that big of a deal, we just go play in one of the other thousands of systems in EvE.

With that said it is a BS tactic but it's part of the game so suck it up or go post in one of the 9 million other AFK cloak nerf threads.

He would have, but they're all already locked.

Good Morning,

Please refrain from reposting redundant threads. I have locked this for the below reasons. We all are aware of AFK cloaking and how it affects people playing the game, however thread number 956226123 of "PLZ NERF" will likely get closed almost instantly.

If you believe this mechanic does need an overhaul please feel free to create a constructed and thought out debate within the Features and Ideas forum to achieve a consensus and pitch the idea towards CCP.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

17. Redundant and re-posted threads will be locked.

As a courtesy to other forum users, please search to see if there is a thread already open on the topic you wish to discuss. If so, please place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forums needlessly, causing good feedback and ideas to be lost. Please keep discussions regarding a topic to a single thread.
