sociopaths .

I didn't think people from nullsec were this stupid, FW is in lowsec, you know? where actual fights happen

(edit) I actually read the rest of your post. Are you really saying that you would attack someone in your own faction for literally being close to you? And you call that them awoxing you? Man, I didn't think even people in highsec were this stupid.

Here's what typically happens:
- Plexer enters the plex, sits there for 10+ minutes. Maybe PvP happens, maybe it doesn't.
- When there are a few minutes left on the clock AWOXer enters plex. Not to help cap it, but to get half the reward.

Now the Plexer has to chose between removing the AWOXer by force or only getting half the LP.

That isn't AWOXing.

AWOXing is when I join your corp and kill you, not when I come into your site and swipe your reward.

Names his char Psycho.
Plays as carebear.
calls other people sociopath because he can't be bothered doing any security checks, or to monitor new members or to protect his members.
Clearly his members are just there to provide tax revenue for the OP with zero given to them by him in return.
i wonder who is the real sociopath in this story?

that's not awoxing, that's helping. the second guy could not have known how long was left on the clock. and i can all but guarantee that when an enemy warps in, brave deserving-of-reward Benny Ohu will heroically defend the complex, the system and the State, while cowardly selfish greedy undeserving-of-reward Other Guy will warp out and cloak.

Locking them up and asking them to leave usually gets them to leave.

All of the people I've seen warp into my plex have done so with well over a minute remaining. Locking them up and asking them to leave usually gets them to leave. The one time it didn't the guy had stabs fitted, but no warp disruptor or scram. Which tells me his intent was to run from any enemies that showed up.

Sounds like the only AWOXer is you. Either way, it doesn't matter. It's not AWOXing, it's just low-sec PvP which is what you signed up for so quit crying about it.

Perfect thread 10/10.

I did not sign up for someone who claims to be my ally to contribute almost nothing towards finishing the plex and take half the reward. So I make it clear that they can either leave, or they can have PvP.

I don't think they ever claimed to be your ally, but if they did, then you should be happy to share your reward with them. After all, you're only making them stronger, which in turn, makes your militia stronger. Of course, that's all garbage because, as I said, they never claimed to be your ally. The only reason they're in your militia is because of the character they made when they started playing. It's not like they have a choice and so there is no reason to pretend.

AWOXers - people who attack their own faction or side in FW wars by using various exploits - face nearly 0 penalties. They are usually experienced sociopaths who know how to **** people off enough to attack them (jump into their plex, crawl under their range, target them) while exploiting the game's mechanic designed to prevent AWOXing - the attacking party, who now has some wretched prick poking him in his armpit - takes the faction hit for attacking the irritant. AWOXers are usually older players who know exactly how to do this, who to do it to (usually, newer players).

So I recommend this mechanic: unless you're in a fleet with someone on your side they can't enter a plex you have entered before them. It would just block them out.

if people drop to -2 with their FW they get kicked out of militia iirc. not sure about fw corps though.

FW plex rewards ought to be based on time spent and distance to the button - nearer to button: more reward, longer in complex: more reward
