Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So it's people who log in but don't DO anything that you have an issue with, I see. Going back to a very basic question, how exactly is someone who's not doing anything, who can not interact with you and who you cannot interact with, causing an issue for you?

The problem is not knowing if someone is afk or not, the problem is an inactive character influencing the game without actions from the player.
Why does the afk player must have the upper hand?
And again, it's not a nerf to the ground. It's not a cloak disabling. It's an iteration over the mechanics. It shouldn't be a radical change for anyone other than the afk cloakers.

Referring to the marked content in the quote:

Excuse me, but is it you who pays their monthly subscription fee?
What do you care about how people decide to spend their lifetime?

I seriously think that you and all likeminded pilots out there are going way too far with all this matter about cloaking.

Eve Online has the current cloaking mechanisms and methods because Eve Online needs them.

Furthermore, did it ever come into yours and all other likeminded pilots minds that all the unpleasant feelings the cloaking causes to all of us are intentionally been put there?

You feel uncomfortable because of the cloaking puts you in a disadvantageous position?
(for I believe that this is exactly the reason for your nerf argumentations, not the afk cloaking - you just use the "afk-cloaking" as a veil to hide your intentions, which are, to simply not possibly be stalked upon, like by a cloaked Legion searching for prey.)

Well yes, thats intended by the developers and the vast majority of the community welcomes this game mechanics of cloaking, with all its goods and bads.

However, every ship can cloak in Eve, preconditioned that the ship has the highslot, CPU, and PG, so what stops you from getting one cloaking device too?

If you think that cloaking is overpowered and thus needs a nerf, well may I give you an advice you already know by yourself, but here it is:
"Buy yourself your own cloak and be overpowered."

tl;dr
Get yourself a Legion, too, once you can afford it."

EDIT:

AWAY FROM KEYBOARD e.g. Having a bodily function, getting a drink, answering the door, baby crying and needs attention, telephone call, going to the pub, unexpected visitors.

EDIT 2:

Have you ever thought that people with limited game time skills as Cov-Ops so that they have the ability to go AFK cloaked because of RL situations that mean that they might need to? A new father\mother who has to attend to his\ her baby every few hours and can't go to Null and back to Hi Sec to dock up because it would be pointless uses cloaking to ensure they can still enjoy the game and play where they want to play? No, I didn't think so.

People AFK cloaking can dictate engagement more easily than people playing the game actively. You can go afk for 1 hour, 2 hours, a whole day, who knows when you will come back? The risk for any target in the system is permanent. The risk for the afk cloaker is zero, permanently.

People who are cloaked can only engage other pilots.

The other pilots, presumably, are either logged off, in a POS, docked up, or themselves cloaked.

It takes two to tango, as the expression goes. At least the cloaked vessel is on the dance floor.

You people are making no sense. You're obviously more concerned about me than the points I made.
I will read everything but only reply to reasonable posts about the thread topic.
I have a job, my sign is sagittarius and I love cats and long walks in the beach?

By being with a cloaked hostile in the system you risk being jumped anytime. By being cloaked hunting in a system you risk losing time, but you're not, since you're afk doing something else.
