Touval Lysander Zero Wine 564	Posted - 2012.11.01 20:15:00 - [1] - Quote Your Eve client sits waiting for you to roll your mouse, click on something or press a key. Whatever key you press, whatever mouse action occurs, a function is called and things swing into action. Let's say no inputs occur for 5 minutes. Your drones redock and/or your mining lasers stop. Let's say no inputs occur after 15 minutes, your mods turn off. If any of the possible inputs occur, timer restarts. i.e. Active players are not penalised - ever. You're not there? We don't care. Cascading systems failure. Worth a thought? Notes: - It's not a new thought but "AFK" seem to be a point of contention and generates a lot of "I hate you". - AFK miners, missioners and cloakers are exempt from this thread. They won't see it anyway. - This does not stop bots. If you suspect a bot, please report to the approriate authorities. ..oo00oo.. "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

Wacktopia Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group 275	Posted - 2012.11.01 20:18:00 - [4] - Quote So basically an anti AFK cloaker thread? The bottom line is that now I have one of those annoying signatures.

I like the idea of having to be at keyboard or your mods shut down, i would never leave my ships out in space. To afraid I will come back with no ship. I kid you not, a player in this game said he hates other players because they do not like his view of the game.

I wish... people don't afk mine by choice, there's absolutely nothing to do while you're waiting for an asteroid to pop, there's 0 reason to be interacting with the game until your cargo is full, or your asteroid pops. that can regularly take more than 5 mins. afk mining isn't something people decide to do, it's some thing the game pretty much makes them do. even sitting with the game window open staring at the cycle timer doesn't make you interact with the game, there's no difference between being at the keyboard or away from it in regards to mining. Reading my posts is like panning for gold; most it will be useless, but occasionally you'll find a nugget of gold.

I don't CARE what afk miners and missioners are doing. I don't like the idea of mods being automatically shut off. I AM the one to decide when they go off. IT IS MY SHIP. There have been times when my husband and I have had to RUN away from the kb to help our kids if they are hurt, or something has happened. We know we are fairly safe because we cloaked.

(or just use a software macro).

So what if they want to help their kids with homework, surf the web, get some work done while they are also mining.. I'ts called multi-tasking and I don't care!!!! It does not affect me ONE BIT. In fact it makes them a better gank target. Why would afk mining bother anyone? There they are. A hulk mining away - I dont' care if they are present at their pc or not, why do you care about it so much Touval? -á *DISCLAIMER* Regarding this avatar - any resemblance or similarity to other avatars-áeither living or dead is purely coincidental.

I promise I will ~~probably~~ never do it again. it has nothing to do with being happy with it. having said that; if i couldn't go afk while mining i wouldn't mine. the isk/hour wouldn't be worth it if i couldn't go and do something else while mining. i don't mind pausing my tv every few mins to tab back to eve to unload cargo and change targets, that's about as much as i'm willing to do for mining's **** poor isk/hour though. your idea is terrible and badly thought out because you've never either encountered, emulated, or even tried to understand the "problem" you're trying to fix.
