JM Nosnam Frog Morton Industries Anuran Origin 0	Posted - 2012.01.29 11:06:00 - [1] - Quote Hi there. Could CCP implement some sort of "AFK indicator" into EVE? This could take the form of a yellow circle next to the persons name if they hadn't clicked on anything in EVE for say 5 minutes. It would need to be only visible in corp chat, and not in local. I know it annoys corp members when others don't respond in chat, and I think it would be a good way to help everyone know why they aren't responding. If the yellow circles not there then they are ignoring you! JM Nosnam
Gerrick Palivorn Caldari Provisions Caldari State 100	Posted - 2012.01.29 11:08:00 - [2] - Quote Uh huh nice try, not going to happen. Troll GD they take the bait.
JM Nosnam Frog Morton Industries Anuran Origin 0	Posted - 2012.01.29 12:08:00 - [3] - Quote Why is it "Not going to happen"?
Grey Azorria Federation Industries 29	Posted - 2012.01.29 12:19:00 - [4] - Quote Eve already gives you too much free information Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Serge Bastana GWA Corp 56	Posted - 2012.01.29 12:41:00 - [5] - Quote I used to think it was a good idea but someone pointed out that it's too easy to exploit, you put up your AFK indicator in corp chat and someone looking to gank corp mates, or a corp spy passes on that information to another corp who comes along and ganks you if you're in space or pulls some other stunt like camping your station if you're docked.

Saphira Star VIRTUAL LIFE VANGUARD 0	Posted - 2012.01.29 16:18:00 - [7] - Quote AFK = Asking For Kicking
Robert Caldera Caldera Trading and Investment 127	Posted - 2012.01.29 16:30:00 - [8] - Quote such kind of indicator would be an afk cloaker nerf and local boost. this is exactly the opposite of whats required.

JM Nosnam Frog Morton Industries Anuran Origin 1	Posted - 2012.01.29 18:33:00 - [10] - Quote Yes, the idea is simply to stop corp mates getting frustrated with other corp mates. Well, to make it a little less frustrating at least

Well, to make it a little less frustrating at least In that case a self selected AFK flag seen only by corp mates would be the answer, not one that that automatically broadcasts to everyone whether you're afk or not ...which i see was not what you suggested, but trust me some idiots will.
mxzf Shovel Bros 402	Posted - 2012.01.29 20:47:00 - [13] - Quote As someone who has gone off to class/gone to bed with Eve running a few times by accident (after alt+tabbing and such), I would fully support the ability to display the fact that you're AFK. I would propose that the window be adjustable and you be able to enable/disable it in various channels (since some people hang out in channels other than "Corp"), but I like the sound of the idea.
Sadaris Missions Mining and Mayhem Northern Coalition. 6	Posted - 2012.01.29 21:39:00 - [14] - Quote Auto clicker o noes the afk cloaker is never afk

It would allow me to know right off the bat if my boss is off taking care of his kid.
JM Nosnam Frog Morton Industries Anuran Origin 2	Posted - 2012.01.29 23:04:00 - [16] - Quote Is this the right place to make the suggestion or is there an e-mail address I should send it to?

Jack Carrigan Order of the Shadow The Revenant Order 502	Posted - 2012.01.30 04:12:00 - [18] - Quote Point 1. F*** no. Point 2. This isn't WoW (see Point 1.) Point 3. Give me your ISK/stuff. Point 4. Biomass queue is over "War is not measured in terms of who wins or loses, who is right or wrong.-á It is measured in terms of who survives."
JM Nosnam Frog Morton Industries Anuran Origin 2	Posted - 2012.01.30 18:17:00 - [19] - Quote Why F*** no?
doomlord289 Rock Grinders Gryphon League 2	Posted - 2012.01.31 03:52:00 - [20] - Quote JM Nosnam wrote: Why F*** no? As I said before, people tend to only read the title of the thread and maybe the first sentence or two. He obviously missed the part where you said: JM Nosnam wrote: It would need to be only visible in corp chat, and not in local. It's best just to ignore the replies from people who obviously don't read the entire post. EDIT: Also, bump for a good idea.

LeHarfang Intersteller Masons Wonder Kids 26	Posted - 2012.01.31 05:00:00 - [22] - Quote I agree that seeing if others are afk would be nice. Of course it can be used by spies inside an ennemy corp to know when peoples are afk, but usually people, will either be cloaked or docked when they are, do it does'nt really matter. They will get killed the first couple of times until they learn to hide when theyre afk (cloaking, docking, etc.) . Edit: Also, there is way too much garbage posts in this topic. We dont care about what you think of the OP and what you think are his/her motivation, we care about what you think of his ideas and arguments. If you have nothing to say about them, dont say anything.
Caliph Muhammed Caldari Investment and Security Industries Innovia Alliance 64	Posted - 2012.01.31 05:21:00 - [23] - Quote Make it a optional turn on, sure. Automated intel, nope. Whether i'm afk or not is none of anyone's business, corp mate or not unless I make it so.
LeHarfang Intersteller Masons Wonder Kids 26	Posted - 2012.01.31 05:27:00 - [24] - Quote You know what? I don't think it's needed anymore. If you're afk and you care about your corpies, you should tell them that you are. Nothing automatic nor manual is needed. Eve is'nt a chat software, its a game and gathering intel is part of it.

If you're afk and you care about your corpies, you should tell them that you are. Nothing automatic nor manual is needed. I also agree it's true that it shouldn't be needed, and it doesn't annoy me at all when someone goes afk (as I understand that things crop up unexpectedly in RL), but it has been a cause of annoyance to my corpmates on one or two occasions, and I feel it may be a fairly simple thing to implement for CCP. When I tell my corp I'm afk, that doesn't help people who log on after I've said it in corp chat. Some of my afk's end up being longer than intended.
