Player Features and Ideas Discussion

What about introducing something to prevent posting the same ides five hundred times? Perhaps a forum ban for someone who cannot be bothered to use the 'search' feature?

At this point I've seen this tired argument often enough I can only assume people like the OP are lazy or dumb. I'm nice here and say he is lazy.

So yeah, a forum ban may be a bit harsh, but people like the OP should at least get a warning and then a ban only if they keep up with reposting their stupid ideas.

This is a thorny issue.

As I've explained in other threads on the same thing I can and have proved that with only some household items I can make my mouse spoof slight and random movement. This would utterly negate the AFK by lack of mouse movement idea, unfortunately. There's no point in the devs implementing something which can easily be avoided to perpetuate the situation which the dev's are trying to avoid.

This is a thorny subject. Whilst I have sympathy for those affected there are ways around the issue with current game mechanics as discussed in pretty much every other thread about AFK cloaky campers. Pretty much every possible counter CCP could implement has also been discussed but concerns about abuse and potential workarounds have dogged any attempt by the community to resolve what is a very contentious part of the game.

The best thing you can do is make your enemy waste their money by carrying on with your activities but in groups of pvp fit ships instead of solo. Your isk making ability drops a bit but you can defend yourself. Or you do it solo in non-bling ships making sure you're aligned and paying attention so you can insta-warp. Alternatively, go to the system next door where there aren't any afk cloakies. If he/she really is AFK they won't follow you and will stay in an empty system. If they follow you, you know they're not AFK.

In conclusion, there are already plenty of ways around the issue for those with imagination and the ability to adapt to changing situations and short of a sensible solution which doesn't screw over other utterly valid forms of gameplay the AFK cloaky campers are here to stay, I'm afraid.

Don't worry, at least this time the forum didn't eat your post completely, like it happened to me two times already.

(I could have sworn there was an icelandic voice mocking me with laughter every time it happened, too.)

Yeah, I write all my posts in notepad++ now as I've got fed up of losing them. It's pretty frustrating, I'll grant you.

Sigh, I reported it without replying as soon as it came up but I guess bumping stupid posts is unavoidable.

Hey whatever happened to Crumple?

And AFK Cloaker?

Show me where it says EvE must be fair.

Life in EvE has risks and problems. Face them, solve them or live with them but if something as minor as AFK cloaking has this much of an effect on you I hate to think how your going to deal with a real threat.

Not supported.

To be Frank i Like the Afk camping mechanic but wish CCP would Rebalance it To something similar
that To actually have a Cost to Run the Cloaking Module Ie Requiring to have a Faction Relay to make it Cap Stable
and that the Overall Mass of the Vessel has a Factor in a Energy cost


Another Function that could be introduced is a Chance to Fail Dependant on skill ad a second Tier Skill Called something like Cloaking Efficiency making it with just cloaking v you have a 45% chance that the Cloak May fail but if you train the secondary skill could lower that down to 10 % and a Implant can lower that to 5%


Or even a Deployable Module that Will for with in a 80 km Range cloaks will be Disrupted but the module its self can not be placed With in 200k from gates and that the deployable is similar to the mobile cyno Inhibitor were it lasts for only one hour
