PVP has only one purpose, to keep others from enjoying EVE Fixed your post. Please, cry more. You're only making me want to cloak up somewhere.
Danika Princip Minmatar Tactical Narcotics Team	Posted - 2011.05.18 15:44:00 - [2] Originally by: t'raq mardon please do. eventually you will **** off enough people with your cowardly tactic of NOT fighting that CCP/CSM will actually address the fact that it should not be allowed as part of the game since you dont actually have to be playing the game to do it There was an AFK cloaker in my alliance's home system for weeks on end a while back. Do you know how I countered him? I ignored him. I did my ratting somewhere else and did everything else I always do in said home system exactly the same way I would if he wasn't there.
Danika Princip Minmatar Tactical Narcotics Team	Posted - 2011.05.18 21:07:00 - [3] Originally by: t'raq mardon It actually does stop you from playing the game. The only thing you can do while someone is claoked in your system and you know they have a cyno and the ability to kill industrial ships is either leave the system or sit there. Cloaking in system is an amazing way to stop everyone who lives in the system from making ISK in said system. Thats why it is an extremely unbalance mechanic. Its extremely effective but takes no risk or effort once you get into the system. If you want to disrupt peoples ability to play the game and make isk, you should have to actually be at your computer. No, actually, an AFK cloaker in 'your' system does not force you to do, or to not do, anything at all. If there are lots of you, how about a standing fleet? Also, how about you post with your main?
Danika Princip Minmatar Tactical Narcotics Team	Posted - 2011.05.19 00:02:00 - [4] Originally by: t'raq mardon @Danika How would a standing fleet make a difference for the person cloaking. If we had a thousand people in the system it wouldn't make it any more likely for the person who is AFK to have any risk of losing their ship, and all they would have to do is walk away from their computer again if they even ever knew there were that many people in local to begin with. They would simply wait until there was a time they looked at their screen and saw there were only a few people in system and then try to find a target that they could kill with ease. And if they didn't find anything they would just walk away from the computer again. The logic being that if they jump on someone in the standing fleet, everyone else in the fleet warps to them. Besides, if they don't do anythign when the system is busy, just put all your bots in the one system and watch the afk cloaker never bother you again :)

Imagine being a pirate, placing your ship and cloaking it waiting for the right prey. you know you have to wait hours... well... you are in a 300mt long ship... you get up from the bridge and you go to eat, **** , do whatever you want... every now and then you go back to the bridge and check the scanner... any prey? no... still waiting... by your point of view it seems to me that even being killed interferes with the ability for everyone to enjoy the game. i like being afraid of cloaked pirates, i dont want to know if they will attack me or not (afk), being able to know if there is an actual danger by looking at the local channel is a spoil. I think being able to sit in waiting is great, and i dont think there should be a change in peoples ability to sit and wait for an unsuspecting victim. I just dont think they should ba able to walk away from the game knowing that they can come back later. And if your role playing, you cant just walk away from your ship or go to sleep and not worry that you might be discovered. I suppose submarines should be nerfed IRL?

Yes because a submarine are very similar to cloaking devices what with the being completely invulnerable and undetectable and all Oh wait, they can be detected by sonar and destroyed by depth charges and torpedoes. On second thought submarines are nothing like cloaked ships seeing as they actually have a weakness. No, actually I think they're pretty similar. You try finding a submarine sitting at the bottom of the pacific, when all you know is that it's in the pacific ocean. Now, you try finding a spaceship that is running cloaked when all you know is that it's in a solar system. Both are like finding an invisible needle in a haystack, before said needle **s you up.

AFK cloaking has only one purpose, to keep others from enjoying EVE Since when was mining/ratting for 10 hours a day considered enjoying EVE? HTFU. The same questio nto you siting afk cloucked in system how its that enjoument off the game ;) The enjoyment comes from the reactions of people like you
