Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So many new faces at this topic...

I was away for few months and seems the collection threat was locked down and new ones are starting over and over again

Just remove local and add scan probes so people can find cloaked ships and be done with it. Everyone wins (except wh I hear but who cares) thank you.

ccp have made a response and it was "working as intended" someone who is afk is no threat at all if they're at the computer and waiting for you to go to a belt then they're not afk and not part of this "problem"

I've dealt with cloaky campers for all 6 years I've been flying in null sec, it's not any kind of big deal at all, just use the options the game gives you.

This is my favorite option:

CCP has stated more than once that cloaking is working as intended.

As a tactic it is one of the most cost effective ways of attacking the morale and pocket of your opponents.

There may have been many complaints (and there has since the day cloaking was introduced, usually of the WAAAH I can't rat with a red in local variety) about AFK cloaking but there has been no action by CCP in all that time, that in itself speaks volumes.

As to Teckos Pech's excellent but unfortunately now closed AFK Cloaking Collection Thread try the link.

I agree with OP

DEVs MUST RESPOND TO AFK CLOAKING!!!!!!!!!!

They should ban anyone who posts on the forums asking for AFK cloaking to be 'fixed'. That would be the perfect response for the devs!!!!

this is pathetic.. whining about AFK cloakers when they are not a direct threat UNTILL THEY UNCLOAK!!!! at which time you can engage them on equal footing.

if you cant handle the risk GTFO of nullsec.

But if they uncloak, they aren't AFK now are they? That's the point that so many try to drive into people like the OP, but reason and common sense are languages people like those don't speak.

And you are right on the last part, these whines are never actually about the AFK cloakers or local...its about RISK, as in they don't want any. Until the fear of the unknown can be nerfed, and until PvEers can function in the dark without aid of a nightlight, we will continue to see these threads.

You are quite right. That being the case:
