Selinate Amarr Red Water Syndicate	Posted - 2011.03.20 15:31:00 - [1] Edited by: Selinate on 20/03/2011 15:31:49 We got a lot of threads about this before, and they would pop up every now and then, but this weekend it seems that there were suddenly around 10 threads (EDIT: I'm using features and discussions and also assembly hall for this #, roughly) made just for the sake of AFK cloaking. Did some nefarious corp decide to afk cloak on your botting operations? Did some big bad cloaker make your carebear self run for the station while they sat there, scanned some moons, and had to make dinner? Seriously, what set off the community to AFK cloakers so heavily this weekend?

Were I of a cynical nature I might think that the rent is due and they haven't got it due to not being able to bot

Goose99	Posted - 2011.03.20 16:31:00 - [8] It's positive feedback. Teary cloaky whine threads encourage more cloakers, which in turn generate more teary whine threads.
Diablo Ex Caldari Reasonable People Sanctuary Pact	Posted - 2011.03.20 17:14:00 - [9] It means I must have had a good weekend so far, I guess I need to sit down and play some. ---

Were I of a cynical nature I might think that the rent is due and they haven't got it due to not being able to bot Thanks. If true, it all becomes much clearer. I may now go and sit in a system too, just for the lulz. Originally by: Allestin Villimar Also, if your bookmarks are too far out, they can and will ban you for it. Originally by: Torothanax Low population in w systems makes afk cloaking unattractive.
Dr Sheepbringer Gallente Halinallen veroparatiisi Inglorious Carebears	Posted - 2011.03.20 18:21:00 - [11] One starts the rest follow. Forums follow pack rules if you know what you are looking for. Thus the rules also affect predators. It would be interesting if CCP could release the before and now numbers of people being cloaked and stationary :) Originally by: CCP Shadow Dr. Sheepbringer -- It's not that kind of horn.

P.S. Bonus Friday link ! best reply in a long time, and the epic mullet guy does the song so much better, although the lyrics are still **** but the whining comes in waves, the afk cloaker whine has been around for a while as said
Mutnin Amarr Mutineers	Posted - 2011.03.20 21:45:00 - [13] It's like the FoTM thing for the forum warriors. If you have read Eve-O forums for anytime at all, you will see the trends. Something gains a bit of steam, then it's same topic over and over by 50 different tards, til something new to whine about becomes the next FoTM. It's macro one month, afk cloakers the next, then maybe some ninja looter or pirate whines mixed in the middle. ect..ect..
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2011.03.20 22:49:00 - [14] Plus, it's CSM voting closing time, so whoever panders to AFK cloak whiners might get some extra votes or whatnot, amirite ? _ Make ISK\|\|Build\|\|React\|\|1k papercuts _
Marchocias Snatch Victory	Posted - 2011.03.20 22:51:00 - [15] By "sudden influx" do you mean "constant deluge" ?? ---- I belong to Silent Ninja (Hopefully that should cover it).
Reyold Bengali Caldari	Posted - 2011.03.20 22:57:00 - [16] Think I'll resub my scout/cyno alt just to get in on the fun. ------- Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Lindsay Logan	Posted - 2011.03.20 23:10:00 - [17] I guess macros whine when an afk cloaker is in their system since it ****s up the bot. Anyone else with a brain will realize an afk cloaker is hardly a threat.

Renan Ruivo Caldari Hipernova Tribal Conclave	Posted - 2011.03.21 02:41:00 - [21] As long as the cloaker isn't a **ing carebear, who can't stand the idea of losing his own covops it's all good Which means, you see a lone thanatos ratting on an anomaly? Don't be a ***.. try to hot drop it! ____________ I like woman because breasts

Diomedes Calypso	Posted - 2011.03.21 05:17:00 - [25] Edited by: Diomedes Calypso on 21/03/2011 05:18:48 Edited by: Diomedes Calypso on 21/03/2011 05:17:55 I'm thinking about starting an AFK cloaking(edit) service... I'm getting good at finding ways for accounts to pay for themselves with types of low maintenance trade orders (edit) More revenue from AFK botting would just be icing on the cake. Maybe i could charge 15 million a day per system, guranteeing maybe 20 hours a day and typeing "I See You" now and then in local just to provide higher quality service. I could charge for war decs too.. maybe I could charge people who don't want to be war deccd fees to have three corps continually war dec them ?

Ingvar Angst Amarr Omni Industrial Coalition	Posted - 2011.03.21 13:08:00 - [27] The beauty of this is that if more and more people do it in botted systems they'll have to change the bots to not warp out unless a different condition is met or they'll simply not be able to bot. When that happens, the door is really opened up for interesting times.
Kuronaga Kantian Principle	Posted - 2011.03.21 13:09:00 - [28] Doesn't make much sense for botters to complain about it. Without the ability to afk cloak, they can't even bot themselves.

I thought i went back and corrected that..in my second edit.. ... unitential but it probably did show a mental association I had... ...probably for a legal way to find the caching... and something within my low level of technical prowess There would be a certain meglamaniac pleasure from the role play aspect too.. I might give it a try if I ever get a second computer...even small delays of session changes while pvping wouldn't be worth the income from the 10 to 20 other clients i might have logged in if I took on that venture.
Sisohiv Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2011.03.22 05:43:00 - [30] Originally by: Othran Edited by: Othran on 20/03/2011 15:52:49 Its one corp (and their alts) whining and generating the new threads - corp is High Flyers and is a member of Red Overlord. Were I of a cynical nature I might think that the rent is due and they haven't got it due to not being able to bot Were I a realist I might wonder why you need to bot to "pay the rent". Just buy ISK like CCP design requires.
