Dez Affinity Ore Mongers Black Hand.	Posted - 2008.08.09 08:47:00 - [1] Don't rat in station systems, don't rat where there's 20 other guys. If the guy is following you and cloaking, move. He's AFK he can't keep following. He poses no threat while he is AFK, if he was at his computer 23 hours, waiting for you to go to a belt, is that OK? If he was hopping safespots for 23 hours (still uncatchable) is that OK? _______________

Ratting with hostiles in local and ratting with a Ferox, he deserves to die. _______________
Dez Affinity Ore Mongers Black Hand.	Posted - 2008.08.09 09:30:00 - [3] Originally by: Ulric Denrai It`s not about ratting ,i agree you can rat all over the place. But most outpost are in solar systems where you have alot belts,where you have your mining posses your labs your jumpbridge.Share that with 20 30 people cloaked . And it won`t help to have a gang next door or bait ,or bubble the gates Because you just sit there it`s more boring then any game the internet did invent.And those cloakers have ofc more accounts ,they are doeing missions in empire ,on the second screen they see whats going on where they are cloaked . And don`t tell me how you counter cloakers ,because you can`t.Did it all saw it all. So now you are saying the problem is 20 30 afk cloaks? Wat. In POS shields you are perfect safe. So the mining POSes means nothing. Jump Bridge, well if your jump bridge POS can't kill 1 guy in a cloaking ship before it kills you, get a new POS manager. When people begin to realise, just because you want to kill somebody doesn't mean you should be able to. You might want to kill everyone whenever you decide, but it's not going to happen there is always going to be a way to prevent yourself from being killed. So once you get over the fact the AFK cloaker isn't going to die soon and you move on where the boogy man can't get you. You will realise it doesn't matter. _______________

Your arguement is someone shouldn't be able to disrupt your play. You further your point by saying they shouldn't be able to do it with no effort. You forget however that this isn't a happy la la everyone is best friends and we all hold hands kinda game, you also forget that if they are indeed AFK they can't TECHNICALLY disrupt you because they aren't there. Then the real fact appears, if you move, they have to move too. _______________

You can't target people while cloaked and you can't uncloak while you are AFK, therefore you cannot do anything while cloaked. It's not the cloak that needs to be nerfed, its you that needs to get over the fact he is there and work around it, go to a different system there are literally hundreds of completly empty 0.0 systems. _______________
Dez Affinity Ore Mongers Black Hand.	Posted - 2008.08.15 07:15:00 - [6] Originally by: Zachstar I don't care what your definition of "Weak" is. Not in the face of a ganker being able to walk away and take a bath and pew pew when he is good and ready.. The insane part is those opposing a simple AFK timer.. No fuel no side crap.. But they know this means they can no longer just keep on all night, no longer means showers before pew pew, no longer means "easy mode" while those who are defending have to organize ops.. Nope now they have to sit on the computer and actually plan the attack and out.. If they can't do that they have no business operating solo in zero space.. Just like hisec easy mode ganking.. This will not last.. And that will not change despite how many times you can call someone a whiner or weak. The only difference between them logging off and them cloaking is your paranoia. You don't think to yourself, "THIS GUY IS LOGGED OFF, WHAT HAPPENS IF HE LOGS ON?!?!?" Fact is while AFK they can't do anything, while at the computer they are just a regular player. If they are cloaked they can't follow you. So go to a different system, stop being a lazy bastard that you can't rat in your 20 man station system where no one will help you if you do get tackled anyway. _______________
Dez Affinity Ore Mongers Black Hand.	Posted - 2008.08.15 14:46:00 - [7] Originally by: Zachstar Funny calling me a lazy bastard when I have to organize ops when you can go take a shower.. Sorry very poor excuse for being able to do something while taking a nap.. Going to the movies or doing whatever you want.. If you cant sit at your computer doing the same thing you do not need to be in zero sec or even logged into EVE in my view.. You don't have to organize ops, this is a game and you don't have any responsabilities unless you choose to take them. Telling me you are the one organizing ops doesn't impress me much either, it's not difficult. Don't tell me you are organizing an op to kill 1 guy who is cloaked? That would be the most pathetic excuse for an op ever. What I am saying is, you are trying to make CCP create a counter for something for which a counter already exists and it's a pretty ****ing easy one, it's called moving. Considering how crappy the log in on this game is, it's good to never log off, quite frankly there is nothing wrong with being logged in and not at the computer. The only reason you have is 'I don't feel safe'. _______________
Dez Affinity Ore Mongers Black Hand.	Posted - 2008.08.16 08:42:00 - [8] Originally by: Zachstar Before you know it they will be saying they have the right to use Macros and hacks... Its silly how hostile people get when you go against their unbalanced style of play.. Or taking a shower.. Or going to sleep while the computer burns power.. Just like the hisec gankers.. Ohhh, you are trolling, fell for it myself. _______________
