I am going to assume this person does not live in Null sec.
The idea is unfounded. What purpose does this serve?
What benefit is this to anyone but the OP who seems to find it necessary to whine about a perfectly functional game mechanic? The purpose of the cloak is so you can not be seen. So what if they go AFK? If they are AFK, they are not shooting at you.
This is an unfair mechanic to anyone who lives in Null in my opinion. Not everyone has the luxury of station tanking like the OP does. |

So if you make no money why do it? <-baited answer You are obviously gaining something by freaking other people out. If they stop making money, you have removed that amount from their war chest just as much as if you blew it up. That is the missed point kraiklyn Asatru wrote:Srsly screw that.. disconnecting after 15min?? thats ********. You telling me I cant even take a nice long **** without disconnecting. I need my biobreaks Dude if you are in the can, what does it matter if the client shuts down??? You arent at it! which is you know the whole point. Also if its good enough for the navy to be done in under 7 minutes, its good enough for you.
You do it because not everyone has a station to dock up to when the moment arises to go AFK.
I mean, seriously, why is this even a topic of discussion. Cloaked is cloaked. What does it matter if you are AFK or not.
And, because it is a pain in the a** having to reload the client just because you needed to step away for a moment.
In my opinion, AFK cloak is no different than AFK station tanking.

No action in say 15 minutes(no typing no movement no interaction) and suddenly "You have been disconnected"
Solves so many issues in the game
And it will have 0 zero effect on anyone actually playing
Why hasn't this been done?
Because the people who ACTUALLY ice mine would start bit***ing. We don't want angry miners flooding the boards.
At least I dont.....
Edit - Because mining ice takes forever.... I know, I tried, and regretted it. >.< |

As for mining I pointed out it was an acceptable afk activity and the 15 minutes could be moved to easily 45 minutes (max worst possible cycle time on mackinaw/retriever)
Then, based on your previous statements and arguments determining what is and is not afk, it is not really possible to input an AFK timer into game effectively, or efficiently, while taking valid AFK mining into consideration.
AFK is AFK.
But in the end, it comes back to OP argument of AFK Cloakers. This is unfair to null sec citizens. |
