How can an afk cloaker affect the environment if he's afk?

Even then, afk mining isn't so much a problem except when they whine about getting ganked. And then propose stupid ideas to counter ganks.

Because for all their chest beating and insults slung at high-seccers null-sec players are the biggest carebears ever, won't rat without an empty system, won't mine without 100 friends on batphone, won't enter grid without numerical superiority and capital backup, lets face facts null-sec is full of pussies.

Um... no it isn't.


Botting is using a 3rd party program to mimic human behavior, ie to play the game for you.

AFK cloaking is specifically not playing the game.

So, what you're saying is, you've never been.

Then why do they bother?

AFK Cloaking is the counter to Local as an Intel channel.

AFK Mining is the counter to...

... Bueller?

... Bueller?

Been there, done that couln't stand 3-4 hour PoS bashes left after a month. Also stop alt-poasting

Boredom.

I said Counter, not cause.

It is the counter. Watching rocks evaporate is boring. They go afk to do something more stimulating. On the rare occasions I mine I bring a book.

Botting is a computer controlling and affecting an environment without human presence.

To get to it, Your presence in EVE is gameplay relevant. You're existence in a system affects flow and control of gameplay.

Being at attendance of your computer is you playing the game. AFK cloaking is a process of botting by allowing your computer to alter gameplay without your actual presence.

Discuss, and I'm mad, no I'm not quitting, I wish I had stuff so give me yours first.

I still believe there should be some method to scan down a cloaked ship.
Granted it should take a very long time for actual cloaky ships and less for say a drake with a cloak but both should be scannable with enough time.

I am talking 20 minutes.

One probe to find a player and put you on the same grid. (random 100 ~ 200km distance from them)
Another probe that can find a player with a slow moving probe that basically explodes and decloaks them.
Wrath of Khan "The thing has to have a tail pipe"
PS - can only use a covert OPS to find the cloaky ship.


IF someone is truly AFK they can be found. if not well the chances would be almost 0.
