GTar	Posted - 2010.10.13 21:00:00 - [1] Isnt it unfair that a single pilot in a cyno/cloak frig can stop all activities in a system, just by hanging somewhere while at work/school/23h a day ? We are sure his friends is close and could probably drop a capital fleat in on top of one of our cap ships in a plex. Couldnt we get a afk timer on cloaking devices, that would require the pilot to move his ship (or some other proof he's active) ?

Scorpyn Inimical Eclipse	Posted - 2010.10.13 21:19:00 - [5] Edited by: Scorpyn on 13/10/2010 21:21:35 Move to a wormhole and you won't be bothered by him Also, no. Are his friends also afk 24/7? What about docked ppl? Are those also a major threat?
Herrring Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2010.10.13 21:21:00 - [6] Edited by: Herrring on 13/10/2010 21:24:44 If he's AFK, he can't hurt you or open a cyno. And if a timer is added to cloaking devices, local character list should be removed like wormholes. I actually tried this on my main is in a war with another corp, and i just leave him docked in their home station and watch movies, do work and whenever i look at the guest list in the station they are always docked. It looks like the whole time they are logged in, they are docked lol.
Sural Alpha	Posted - 2010.10.13 21:48:00 - [7] TBH, after some 6 years in this game that's all I do, I log into a hostile system, stay there afk 20 hours a day, and at times kill me something when I cba to actually be active. The only reason I pay the 3x300mil for the subscription anymore is that I know for a fact that I am ****ing someone off.

The only thing that stops your activities is your own fear. Stop trying to blame the cloaker for your cowardice. Originally by: GTar ...just by hanging somewhere while at work/school/23h a day ? We are sure his friends is close and could probably drop a capital fleat in on top of one of our cap ships in a plex. Wait a sec. How can he light a cyno if he is afk? And what would happen if you didn't use a cap ship in a plex? Originally by: GTar Couldnt we get a afk timer on cloaking devices, that would require the pilot to move his ship (or some other proof he's active) ? Or how about you grow a spine first? After that we can go about f-ing up the game for everybody else. Taxman IX: Risky Venture

Stop trying to blame the cloaker for your cowardice. This... This times infinity... Some dead guy once said "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself!", and that statement applies in spades to this 'afk cloaker' situation. -------------------------------------------- Quote: EVE-Online...

Ralnik Mutineers	Posted - 2010.10.14 00:26:00 - [11] How to find a afk cloaker? Simply start a mining op with a few Hulks & a Orca..

Kireiina	Posted - 2010.10.14 01:00:00 - [14] You can't because CCP fail at game balance. A hostile act like flying into enemy space should always have some possible counter. Then it becomes a game of who has the resources in place and makes the better moves. The fact that you can AFK cloak in an enemy capital for extended periods is abundant evidence of broken game-play. But hey, maybe in 18+ months CCP will care.
Angry B0B Caldari Zigurrat VertigO	Posted - 2010.10.14 01:01:00 - [15] Up for anything that will stop AFK cloaking ! (timer, probes, cap consuming module) It is unfair and dumb ! AFK cloakers are like macro bots, so should be banned ! Now for the Good News !!!! There are nooooo ***ing good news !!!! * Iggy Pop aka Angry BoB - Hardware

Herrring Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2010.10.14 03:07:00 - [17] Seriously. Why do you think people AFK cloak anyway? Because of local there is no point in setting up an ambush, or stealth raid enemy space. Thats why people AFK cloak with cynos so they can hit you when you dont expect it. If there was no local character list, why would people bother with AFK cloaking wasting electiricity and cpu power? Although I kinda like having local so people can see the AFK cloaker and cry about it.

Couldnt we get a afk timer on cloaking devices, that would require the pilot to move his ship (or some other proof he's active) ? To answer this question.... again.... No, it is not unfair. Why? Because you're in 0.0 space, it is not supposed to be safe. If you're too much of a ***** to continue mining or ratting with a single enemy in the system, you probably DON'T BELONG IN 0.0. Further, if your entire alliance crawls to a halt due to an enemy cloaker, your entire alliance doesn't belong in 0.0.
Haseo Smith	Posted - 2010.10.14 03:48:00 - [19] Originally by: AFK Cloaker This man makes a good point.
Kireiina	Posted - 2010.10.14 05:29:00 - [20] Originally by: Terminal Insanity To answer this question.... again.... No, it is not unfair. Why? Because you're in 0.0 space, it is not supposed to be safe. I agree, which is why a cloaker should not be 100% safe forever and with zero activity in hostile space.

Noun Verber Gallente	Posted - 2010.10.14 06:14:00 - [21] Are the rumours of NPCs being spawned on cloakers true or false?

Because you're in 0.0 space, it is not supposed to be safe. I agree, which is why a cloaker should not be 100% safe forever and with zero activity in hostile space. The cloaker isnt 100% safe, he has to uncloak if he wants to continue playing the videogame. Should we also make an auto-eject feature to prevent people from sitting in stations all day? they're 100% safe in there too.
Songar Gunin Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.10.14 07:26:00 - [23] Afk cloaker is there because you are scared of him! As others said, grow a spine, couple of balls, HTFU and l2p! Everytime someone whines about ninjas in missions some smartarse starts yammering about "go to 0.0 like a man and make loads of ISK there"... say, if one AFK guy - who btw, can just as easily be in an unprobable t3 ship - can make you run around in panic, where are those much touted "men" and the ISK? Oh and planning to come pester you in a 0.0 soon! As soon as i dl some movies and stuff so i got stuff to do while you whine and cry!
RuleoftheBone Minmatar Ore Mongers BAT PHONE	Posted - 2010.10.14 08:43:00 - [24] Sandy vagina's recommend minimizing local to reduce fear factor
Hooded Hauler	Posted - 2010.10.14 10:00:00 - [25] Originally by: GTar Isnt it unfair that a single pilot in a cyno/cloak frig can stop all activities in a system, just by hanging somewhere while at work/school/23h a day ?

Couldnt we get a afk timer on cloaking devices, that would require the pilot to move his ship (or some other proof he's active) ? The benefits of local mean that without AFK cloak ***gotry your carrier can run plex pretty much immune. I therefore declare that plexing is unfair and CCP should probably do something about it.
Kireiina	Posted - 2010.10.14 10:04:00 - [26] Originally by: Terminal Insanity The cloaker isnt 100% safe, he has to uncloak if he wants to continue playing the videogame. The only danger to the cloaker is them being idiots since they get complete and absolute safety to pick when they fight,who they fight and get the first shot. PvP in which you only engage in fights you know you will win is just cheese. Stealth with no counter is broken. But it is little surprise lots of people rather like that.

uwai223 The Darkness Within Death Rhubarb	Posted - 2010.10.14 12:02:00 - [28] Edited by: uwai223 on 14/10/2010 12:04:01 Bubble gates, set up ratting fleets incase someone gets tackled (which happens once every what 5-6 days? I dunno how dumb your guys are so it might be more) BE AWARE OF YOUR DAMN SURROUNDINGS, don't do plexes in carriers unless you really want to lose them, teach your cap pilots how to handle their damn ships and the most important of all: SET UP DAMN TRAPS. IT'S SO EASY DAMMIT. These are all things you and your guys could do, which also kinda helps with the boredom plexing/ratting brings with it. Yet you make another QQ post about cloakers. --- Hugs and kisses! XOXO We are required by our constitution to let the voters think they have a choice. That's democracy!

PvP in which you only engage in fights you know you will win is just cheese. Stealth with no counter is broken. But it is little surprise lots of people rather like that. unfortunatly the stealthy ships are very weak, making your point moot. a single set of light drones will kill any bomber easily. Other then industrials, what exactly is a bomber going to pick off? A shuttle maybe? They cant even kill tech1 frigates ffs. Also, who the **** engages an enemy where they think they WONT win? derp. Of course bombers only attack people who they know they can kill, thats WHAT EVERYONE DOES IN ANY SHIP.

Couldnt we get a afk timer on cloaking devices, that would require the pilot to move his ship (or some other proof he's active) ? I can only assume you are so bad at being a troll that you have to go for the lowest hanging fruit and kick this dead horse again. On the off chance you just have no idea how to read any of the other 32421 threads making the same pathetic suggestion, let me give you the basic facts: 1) An AFK character cannot kill you. 2) If he is not AFK then the game is working as intended. Furthermore, if you cannot play the game because there is someone else in Local then the only sensible solution is move. You are not entitled to have a system with no one else in it. This is the real problem for you. Cloaking Devices are a symptom, not the cause of your discomfort. If you got your wish, the "AFK" person terrorizing you would be siiting at a safe spot, uncloaked, in a ship fit that can not get scanned down to 100% with probes, and you would be in the exact same situation. You cannot kill an AFK Cloaker. Nor can you kill a person sitting in a Station. Nor can you kill a person at the Character Select screen. Nor can you kill a person on the Forums. Each of those examples are equally dangerous threats to your mining Op. It is only when they are At the Keyboard, Undocked from a Station, or Logged into the game are they actually dangerous.
