More butthurt about afk cloakers. You carebears are pathetic. Grow a pair.

Just to make it clear, you afk cloak to **** people off right?

You mean theres another use for them?

Sounds like a direct nerf against in-game intel gathering.

So a normal day for you is maybe an hour of PVP in lowsec before work. You leave for work afk cloaking in low sec. Get back from work late uploading chat logs to your phone and crawl into your bed where you lol and giggle before you fall asleep because atleast you could **** people off without breaking a sweat for several hours?

Don't get me wrong, I think this is the sort of game where pissing people off is alright and should not be removed. But to me there's a line; when a player can **** someone off for 9 hours without even being active then it has crossed that line.

Imagine if you were the carebear and you wanted to go out and PVE but you couldn't because you had a contact in your system that you knew nothing about, only that you were PVE fitted and wouldn't stand a chance against a PVP ship with a decent player behind the screen. Maybe you'll take the chance and do some PVE while fanatically hitting Dscan hoping you'll catch the ship warping to you in time to escape. I might not happen for hours but you know, sooner or later that person is coming back and he's going to kill you.

Don't know why I took the time to write this knowing you'll more and likely give me the finger because you don't care what happends to carebear because you're not one of 'em so why should you care. As long as you can have your fun right?

What i'm suggesting is compromise; If player doesn't move his mouse for and hour or two he'll be kicked from the game. Or something similar!

Last time there was an afk cloaker in my system, I ratted. I ratted solo, with no back up for hours and hours and hours, Sanctums & Havens were all mine because everyone else was docked up scared. It was the most ISK I've ever made ratting in a day.

I took the risk, I reaped the rewards. It was after that day that I started afk cloaking myself, I began to understand the reasons why people do it. Try it before you form an opinion on it, you may like it and your point of view might surprise you.

but yes when people do it to me i get irritated so if it keeps happening chuck an alt in there home system and do the same back
if they have 1 alt afk organise 3 people with alts to do it in there system
payback

Why is this needed? Cloaks are fine and balanced.

As far as AFKing is concerned, it requires the same amount of input as gathering intel from the local channel. The difference is, that intel from the local channel is a guarantee, whereas the psychological effects from AFKing are not.

I have tried it, it's part of why I said it's a lot of fun doing it yourself. I however feel that it is a broken game mechanic, maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I feel I should have to at least warp around for a couple seconds to validate my asshattery.
