Player Features and Ideas Discussion

AWOXers - people who attack their own faction or side in FW wars by using various exploits - face nearly 0 penalties. They are usually experienced sociopaths who know how to **** people off enough to attack them (jump into their plex, crawl under their range, target them) while exploiting the game's mechanic designed to prevent AWOXing - the attacking party, who now has some wretched prick poking him in his armpit - takes the faction hit for attacking the irritant. AWOXers are usually older players who know exactly how to do this, who to do it to (usually, newer players).

So I recommend this mechanic: unless you're in a fleet with someone on your side they can't enter a plex you have entered before them. It would just block them out.

The ONLY thing i would like to see is that attacking other Corpmembers in Highsec still call the Concord.

People who attack their own faction or side in FW wars by using various exploits face being banned from the game. If you have proof of exploit use, send a petition to CCP.


(edit) I actually read the rest of your post. Are you really saying that you would attack someone in your own faction for literally being close to you? And you call that them awoxing you? Man, I didn't think even people in highsec were this stupid.

If you had to be in a fleet with the person who entered the plex 1st, how would war targets get in there to... you know... do war related stuff.

nullbears only know bubbles and ratting and cap-blobs.

Here's what typically happens:
- Plexer enters the plex, sits there for 10+ minutes. Maybe PvP happens, maybe it doesn't.
- When there are a few minutes left on the clock AWOXer enters plex. Not to help cap it, but to get half the reward.

Now the Plexer has to chose between removing the AWOXer by force or only getting half the LP.

In a loose sense it is. You're technically allies (blue to each other) that are supposed to be working together.

that's not awoxing, that's helping. the second guy could not have known how long was left on the clock. and i can all but guarantee that when an enemy warps in, brave deserving-of-reward Benny Ohu will heroically defend the complex, the system and the State, while cowardly selfish greedy undeserving-of-reward Other Guy will warp out and cloak.

It's one player harming someone who game mechanics say is an ally. That's close enough for me to call it AWOXing.

As for the second guy not knowing the time on the clock, that could happen. If he lands less than 10 seconds before it finishes and there is at least one non-militia member in system, if he lands any sooner he has plenty of time to warp back out. If there are only militia members in system, his d-scan will tell him the plex is occupied before he activates the gate.

All of the people I've seen warp into my plex have done so with well over a minute remaining. Locking them up and asking them to leave usually gets them to leave. The one time it didn't the guy had stabs fitted, but no warp disruptor or scram. Which tells me his intent was to run from any enemies that showed up.

i am shocked and appalled that you would even consider threatening or murdering your compatriots

but yeah you're the awoxer here :P if you're shooting guys to keep them out of the plex you're taking, fine. you're doing it right. the OP's asking that the complex be locked which is ridiculous
