I think they're just the newest bots. It used to be:
bot sits ratting/mining in null
none-blue jumps into local
bot warps to pos

now it's:
bot sits ratting/mining in null
none-blue jumps into local
bot warps to pos
bot posts "REMOVE AFK CLOAKZ" on forums

I think this is incorrect, since gathering intel on people - who, roughly how many, where, etc - without local is something that hundreds, if not thousands, of us do every day in wormholes. I have to believe it'd be even easier in nullsec, as the routes are fixed and easier to scout, and how it's inherently harder to hide giant fleets that you see only in null



Once again: Might work in a single system / wormhole. But not in a region with thousands of gates. Players writing in Intel channels you might think. Yeah, but that info comes from local too Shocked

Even the biggest alliance could not keep up any intel in a region by players only because every gate (say 100 systems with at least 3 gates each) would need an active character sitting, watching, counting for 23.5/7. You might get the point now.

So, removing local completely is not the way. Remove cloakies from local might be another story.

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

I just don't understand null sec players.

Hi,

what can we do against afk stelth pilots in 0.0 ? Nothing !!!

She wait any hours and we cant mining, ratting ore others.... attacks comes only vs mining Barges ore infight Ships and are rar....


CCP we need a tactic against this idiots.... thats not pvp.


AFK waiting for 4 ore more hours is an Exploit.


Hoc



Maybe its time ccp delay local like in WH Space. There you have to rely on scouts and dscan to survive. Although I think most in nullsec will complain about a delayed local.

I dont care as long as I can take a toilet break for free. I am NOT paying for cloak fuel and that's the end of it.

AFK cloakers are meh,,,, OP needs to HTFU.

But here's my thoughts on it, i'd sure love to shoot cloakers who find themselves trapped in a system or if they are indeed AFK,, why,, well because i like to shoot anyting that's not supposed to be in our space.

true balance (if we are all honest) is them being able to cloak and others being able with some skills and the right ship to find them and melt their face.

i love cloaks, i use them a alot myself, but it is true that the current cloaking mechanics are broken, i'm not agreeing with the OP, i'm just making a point.

everything should have a counter to it, no counter makes something unfair. so before you jump on my comments with your size 12 virtual boots, i'm talking about the cloaking device not the ship it's fitted to.

afk means to be away from keyboard. not there. not able to click or type or speak. away. Roll

This.

Why is AFK a problem when cloaked? How do you know they are AFK? If they are AFK, how do they harm you? Is it that your bot safes up when a non-blue shows up in local?

I just don't understand null sec players.

Just gob smacks me how you all want eve to be another wow, where there is no risk, an everything is handed to you on a plate.
0.0 is NEVER be safe. If you want to mine in the open in 0.0 thne get escorts. You should NEVER be immune to death in 0.0.
It's bad enough that HS is now nothing but carebears skipping through the bloody flowers.

A single SB cant kill you if you have half a brain. CCP have done enough damage to HS by pandering to these fools who scream it isnt fair!!, waaa I am at risk.....

You want the profits of 0.0 without any risk, then why play eve... you can get that in wow.

the single pilot who dropped the cyno seemed to be AFK before they struck was the point. but meh, you knew that already.
