I have no problem with cloaky camping by active players, but it is impossible to bait into traps people who are asleep or at work. The focus is on intel gathering to assess risk, CCP please implement this so you no longer reward AFK play.
I am in a bomber, traveling at 300 m/s cloaked. I want to create a bookmark that is on grid but at the edge of the grid. The goal is to use this spot as a warp out after dropping a bomb. I will be on grid to see the damage but able to cloaknand move as soon as I land. With the new grid sizes, this could be over 14000 km from the gate. I will be at my keyboard patiently waiting as I travel. Yet unless a major incident occurs, I do not want to risk doubke clicking in space and screwing up my path.
The above scenario is valid play. I am setting up for an attack. Yet I could go an hour without clicking in eve. Why punish me?
Same scenariobae above but with a differebt player. They use a very simple automated input that rotates the camera a random number of degrees with a random interval of minutes between each rotation. This would probably be a fairly simple automation to impliment. It would classify as any interaction from the client and so not trip your suggested AFK detection. How would CCP spot this automated input? They really can't because there is no pattern to detect that differs from someone being present and randomly spinning the camera not to be ruled AFK.
So basically, your suggestion could be worked around with automation that would be difficult to detect and would punish legitimate non-AFK play. Why do you want CCP to implement this? |
