Sepheir Sepheron Caldari Genco	Posted - 2011.05.19 18:42:00 - [1] When cloaked for an hour+ without engaging warp you must type in a 6 digit captcha within 5 minutes (obviously there would be a refresh captcha button in case it was unreadable which you can select as many times as you want within the 5 minutes) to resume cloaking. I don't really have anything against cloaking I just see all these anti-cloak threads and think this would be a decent idea cause no one really hates cloaking devices they just hate people who AFK with them... Maybe.. Yes yes I know that they could just make a macro that warps from planet to planet etc from 100 but at least this would add to the work load of the afk-cloak class lol
Danika Princip Minmatar Tactical Narcotics Team	Posted - 2011.05.19 18:44:00 - [2] No. Encouraging macros is BAD.

Edit: if you're doing something that the module is not designed to do (so much QQ) then it should require an illegal out of game action to perform resulting in CCP intervening.

You said it yourself. Originally by: Sepheir Sepheron Yes yes I know that they could just make a macro that warps from planet to planet etc from 100 but at least this would add to the work load of the afk-cloak class lol That, or using a macro to put in the captcha, as they are always broken in a couple of days anyway. using a cloaking device for cloaking is (gasp!) not using it for something it wasn't designed to do. HTFU.

He is just trying to reduce the amount of AFK Cloakers. AFK cloaking is not a problem to the vast population of null sec. Except for AFK botters and whining weak minded players. (mostly renters and pets) This idea actually promotes the use of macros. That is not a good thing. Especially when AFK cloaking is a viable counter to the 100%, risk free instant intel tool, called local. 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.
Sepheir Sepheron Caldari Genco	Posted - 2011.05.19 18:55:00 - [7] I guess so, well trash this idea then. However I am displeased at the maturity level from some people, when in my main topic I explained that I didn't give a ****. XD "is (gasp!) not using it for something it wasn't designed to do. HTFU."

Unless of course you do find it a problem, which then it is working as intended.
Sepheir Sepheron Caldari Genco	Posted - 2011.05.19 18:57:00 - [9] God I wish local didn't exist. :l

Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2011.05.19 19:02:00 - [11] Or just remove cloaked ships from local chat, after a set time. But of course, this also could be bypassed via a macro.

Wilhelm Riley	Posted - 2011.05.19 20:18:00 - [12] Best. Idea. Ever. CCP, hire this man. Etc.
Annasys Goonswarm Federation	Posted - 2011.05.19 20:22:00 - [13] I have a better idea. How about we just add a CAPTCHA to any character who has been online for an hour or so. If they fail the CAPTCHA, then their account is banned. Not only would this get rid of AFK cloakers, it'd get rid of bots and those stupid market pvpers too. --------------------------------------------- I am a big fan of knowing what you are talking about prior to making asinine suggestions or comments.
Killer Barbie Of'Death	Posted - 2011.05.19 20:31:00 - [14] Ok, this is a science fiction space ship based game. If you had a pilot in space who wanted to be in system for a particular function, (keep an eye on it, be there if needed, join up with others at a later time) cloaking up and getting out of the captains chair would be a perfectly reasonable thing to do. It would fit perfectly within the genre of this game. It plays perfecty to keep an enemy on thier toes and so many other functions within acceptable game mechanics. People who want to do away with afk cloaking want to turn this game into WoW where everything is easy. (Nuff said)
j1tabug IWINIWINIWIN	Posted - 2011.05.20 02:32:00 - [15] For all of us that can barely read these damn things normally without having to worry about eve. For me and the rest of us half blind even with glasses and a space telescope people i give you a large HELL NO
