I think all AFK activities should end. Especially sitting in a station. People should be ejected from all stations if they are not at their computer.



I give myself a 0/10 for that one, but I am very self critical.

I agree OP: Remove afk players. Start with the Jita market bots first.

You brought it up… vOv

Anyway, the question for this thread remains: how it AFK:ness a hot issue? Why does it need to be stopped?

A hole expansion so you can turn your ratting/anom bot back on seems to go against a lot that CCP has done in the last 3 years.
I don't think they will go for it, i think your just going to have to set scan probs to overveiw and pulse it like the rest of us at keboad people that run around in low/null.

I wanted to paint my space ship red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

Plenty of what?

Also: yes? Being about the summer expansion doesn't really answer why AFK:ing needs to be “killed”…

Not really, no.

There's a few people mewling about unrelated issues (cloaks, mostly). In post #14, you call “the game mechanic” broken (without specifying which mechanic you're referring to, and how it's broken). In post #15, Deviana provides an issue with cloaks, not AFK:ness, and also explains how it can already be countered. In post #21, Corina discusses AFK:ness, but somehow I suspect (s)he is being sarcastic…

So yeah, the question remains: how is AFK:ing a hot issue and why does it need to be killed?

I feel as though I am being trolled.

AFK cloaking is not a problem. Remember an AFK cloaker cannot warp, tackle you, shoot, or activate a cynosural field. If you are worried about someone doing these things, you are not worried about an AFK cloaker.

Really AFK cloakers work best against Robots, they're like a Turning Test. You are against Bots, are you?

What is this thread you speak of, and why aren't you posting over there instead of here?

Who is this "we" you speak of? Do you have a ferret in your pocket or something?

How is this more important than CCP making curtains for the door in my Captain's Closet?

How can someone who is afk affect my game play or yours when we all consent to being blown-up upon undocking?

Why do you think you should be able to dictate how others play the game?

Do you really expect you'll get a Dev to respond here?

What do the CSM think about your cunning plan?


When answering these questions please show your work.

…or I can use this thread, on the topic of killing AFKing during the summer expansion, to discuss whether killing AKFing is even needed or if it's just a pointless waste of time because it's not really a problem.

A token left with judgement a memento left ajar
A secret never wanted death defying little charms
How to defend pretend selective ****-away so long neglected
Pretty-frozen underground from above the odor leering

Pass the meat from which I stink of
All those tethered whether-wise

A blood stain all the wiser desperation kicks the stool
A little bruise to lose demure a staple cut and dry
In the sink dissection decimation is the rule
In determining direction acting agent act the fool

Pass the meat from which I stink of
Putrid helping kept inside

Tincture Warning Second cousin to the new invention
Addictive so charming second only to a forced unfusion
Tincture of lead be said with no remorse full of confusion
Wish to enjoy this weightlessness lay me out full worm garden

A prick upon the finger looking back like hacking through
To develop in the mixture of a portion of a view
The distant elevation of a faded wicked high
Divination ask a question of a spirit for a thing you used to hide

Pass the meat from which I stink of
Passed out serving on the side
From the meat I'm suffocating
Cutting from the bone to hide

A noose-knit put on sweater tie it up around the arm
Looks to grip along the trigger down the barrel of a gun
Assume today a game to play cardboard house in dissaray
Tremble little joker think dig it deep don't be afraid...

I wanted to paint my space ship red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

What is this thread you speak of, and why aren't you posting over there instead of here? Becasue this is the 'Push for CCP to changeit'thread, not the 'give Opinion thread'

Who is this "we" you speak of? Do you have a ferret in your pocket or something?'The dozens of players that have reuested this in the old and new forums'

How is this more important than CCP making curtains for the door in my Captain's Closet? +1 to that!

How can someone who is afk affect my game play or yours when we all consent to being blown-up upon undocking?'The main Thread can give you some insight on that'

Why do you think you should be able to dictate how others play the game? " No, but how they are effectively, boting in the game,well yes!.

Do you really expect you'll get a Dev to respond here? Yep.They have replied multiple times in other threads of mine, for good or bad..

What do the CSM think about your cunning plan?When and *if* they show up i will notify you...
