The reality is that 90% of alliance ratters can't organise a revenge BBQ when confronted with said tactic let alone mount a fast enough response to stop the kill in the first place.

But this is NOT the issue. It's the threat of it when he's in bed. No counter UNTIL he pops up and WHEN that happens is unknown - possibly for days.



An "alliance" which goes to 0.0 with a "sacrifical lamb" attitude for their members is as worth as an industry hi sec "alliance" that explodes the instant someone war decs it.

Why in hell are you playing THE harsh PvP game, in THE harshest PvP zones, with an afk hi sec Mack miner attitude to begin with?


What's different in this thread than any thread created by a random hi sec ice miner with deadspace shield booster who had someone coming to pop them?

It seems the same attitude: "I just want to mine / rat in peace, leave me be".

That's fine, but EvE is a game of consequences, of broken sand castles, of nasty guys.
You got to accept EvE is EvE in the end.

An AFK cloaker is NOT active but has exactly the same effect as though he is. It's a no-risk, no-counter tactic to deny hundreds of players their space - often for days at a time. And you CANNOT stop it


Imagine if something prevented AFK cloaking...

...



...



... and people in corps like DR who have/had 24/7 coverage just take turns at logging on cloakers in your system, i.e. 6 guys staying non AFK taking turns for 4 hours a day?


What other thread would we see? Nerf non AFK cloaking?


EvE players are not stupid, they DO circumvent silly obstacles like that.




Learn to play EVE then.
If they take turns, they either jump thru gates to come to the system or log off and on.Both tactics leave them whith a few secs vulnarable.Its so tasty to kill a logged off dude in his safe spot.Twisted

I like how the OP felt the need to hide behind an alt. AFK cloaking is not a problem. Idiots not knowing how to deal with afk cloakers is the problem.

Yes, hello. By posting in a forum visible to and postable by all who play this game, you are inviting all to give their opinion. This is not your private batphone to CCP, it is a public forum. Posting here implies a request to all for their opinion.

tl;dr - Shoot CCP an email if you want a private conversation, ****.

By the way, since we're already talking, do you want to buy a rifter? I've got the cheapest rifters in Metropolis. If you can find a cheaper rifter, buy it!

I read enough top see that youre a whiny *****, who despite having carried on this horrible thread for 14 pages, has received a grand total of 2 likes. You're an idiot and AFK cloakers are not a problem, mechanics are working as intended, stop being a stupid whiny ***** and figure out simple tactics for ****'s sake.

Are you seriously so oblivious and full of bullshit that you are going to pyramid post the contradiction to what you have just claimed? This has got to be a troll.

I'm sure you have alts to keep it alive, so everyone else might as well vent their disdain upon you. Fourteen pages of examples as to why you are a little **** seems a fitting punishment for your **** posting.

I like how the OP automatically classes someone just so he can get the game changed to how he likes, who determines theyare AFK? You? Because on quite a few occasions i have waited in a system cloaked at your pos/belt/complex for hours on end for carebears like you to run a site in the hope I can drop on you for luscious buttsecks, I'm not AFK so don't class me as such Evil

Also I love how its filled with mostly noobie alts, to afraid to smack with your mains?

Well IMO the cyno mechanic is utterly ********. Insta-click and spam some caps? That's the only worry I'd have for AFK cloaky. Anything else is your lookout. Make a spin-up time or cooldown time after cloak on the cyno. No more '1 press button and 1 second later there's a ton of caps'. But then I play WHs, where we don't have to deal with (super)cap blobs like ****. No local out there is considered *fun*.

Dropped in to call the OP an idiot, then found 14 pages of others doing the same.

Left satisfied.
