Poor you, you actually have to pay attention.

But I'll tell you what does. The fact that they aren't original thoughts - everyone else has had them and discussed them a thousand times over. These forums have a search feature for a reason. Perhaps if you had an original thought ever, you might have used it like no one else does.

The real issue is the fact that you don't know if the person is AFK or not.

What people are really asking for is a mechanic put in place so that if someone is cloaked in system, then you know that they are not AFK. If they were, they wouldn't be cloaked (or in game) for very long.


Oh, my GOD. You have to make a judgement call, in a videogame!?

Someone get Ripard Teg on the phone right now!

Seriously, cry more, pal.

If they are afk, then they are no threat, and thus no problem. If they are at their keyboard then they are legitimately hunting you, and thus no problem.

What you want, on the other hand, is the 100% removal of any speck of uncertainty. Which is T.S. for you.

I searched 'Kanuti' on all the killboards I know. He doesn't exist. You're either in an NPC corp because you're a newb and a liar, or too chicken **** to post on your main.

There is one thing I agree with, though not for the same reasons. Just about every other online game I know of has a mechanic for the removal of players that become AFK after a certain period of time (ie no input). Not only does it work to reduce server load, it also works to detect the use of automated third party systems.

Fixed that for you. Since it's impossible to know, you have no choice but to treat them as if they are not AFK and therefore a threat.

Oh and Loyd, do tell how "paying attention" will let you know if they are AFK or not? I'd really like to know.

UaE has posted a platypus and Jonah has posted ponies, but in the interest of staying on topic:
Baby sloths get swaddled

since sloths are the most AFK cloaking animal in existence..

It won't, but paying attention will let you know when they actually do decloak and you should have plenty of time to get away.

Anyone who complains about AFK cloaking wants to farm in safety, the game is not supposed to be safe.

How is that a problem? Well, I suppose if your response to that is "never undock", then it might be.
