Haniblecter Teg F.R.E.E. Explorer Elitist Cowards	Posted - 2008.08.09 07:04:00 - [1] This is really a valid tactic? One that ccp endorses? Cloak, then afk in your enemies ratting system for 22.5 hours a day, 7 days a week. For the remaining half an hour--the time when you're not tooling around with your alt--you uncloak, scan out a ratter, and gank them. We have a guy like this named Ghostthor. He's a raging ** for this. CCP do something about this pure ***** ----------------- Friends Forever**
Haniblecter Teg F.R.E.E. Explorer Elitist Cowards	Posted - 2008.08.09 07:40:00 - [2] Originally by: Ioci I see this too. 1 guy can't gank me. 2 can give me trouble. 3 means you fleet up to get rid of them. I don't know. Cloakers don't bother me. There are always people on who would rather be PvPing and are more than happy to sentry the system, waiting for someone to flag a belt. Often with 1 and 2 reds, I will go to a belt and bait rat. Have fun with it. If you are that tight for ISK, go to another system. I just think you are misreading the problem. Fly safe! Why should I have to go to another system (they always choose the best) to accommodate for his 'valid' game mechanics....game mechanics that allow a person to afk for most of the day until they decide they want to actually want to 'play'. Game mechanics that prevents you from doing anything to correct the problem. Taken to the extreme, you can have everyone in an alliance afk cloak their alts in an enemy system/s. What are you going to do there? Is that a truly valid tactic? Or is it more akin to griefing? ----------------- Friends Forever

Who knows what they could be doing, afk cloaked.... Eating a sammich? Washing their hands? bio break? NOT PLAYING EVE!?!?!? Coincidence? How about giong to work for 10 hours like the guy I mentioned. **. And if you're playing eve and need to get a sammich all of the sudden....LOG OUT! Dont stay safe and secure in your silly recon. ----------------- Friends Forever**

Everyone forgets things, like logging. Originally by: Haniblecter Teg And if you're playing eve and need to get a sammich all of the sudden....LOG OUT! Dont stay safe and secure in your silly recon. But then whining carebears who can't fit PvP ships to fight through ganks wouldn't come to the forums crying... What then? Oh yea, cause the problem is Im just not fighting him. That all I have to do is hop in a nano of my own and take him down. Oh wait, he's cloaked. And carebear? Watch your tongue little boy, even bears eat berries. And fight through ganks? What? Have you even read the thread? Cloakers dont gate camp, so there's nothing to 'fight through'. ----------------- Friends Forever

Coincidence? or god forbit looking up **.......not that id ever do such a thing >_> You're afk cloaked in a system for 23/7: Wake up. Log on to main after dt. You go to work. You take the kids to soccer practice, you pork the misses. You do two missions with your alt in empire. You pick up the kids from practice. You check your afk cloaker in the system. You eat dinner. You go to bed. Valid Game Mechanic or Grief? ----------------- Friends Forever**
Haniblecter Teg F.R.E.E. Explorer Elitist Cowards	Posted - 2008.08.09 08:18:00 - [6] Originally by: Aerieva Rat in pairs or use the system next door, leet afk cloaking tactic overcome. Station system? Only a handful of good ratting systems? Why should regular players put up with griefing? Any responses? ----------------- Friends Forever
Haniblecter Teg F.R.E.E. Explorer Elitist Cowards	Posted - 2008.08.09 08:29:00 - [7] In addition: Is there any other like corollary to cloaking in general? Something where you're 'playing' but completely unfindable and therefore invincible. Besides being in a station, no. Any other instance, people are able to get at you. So in the very least, cloaking is easily the most *** module in the game. People who use cloaks (with the exception of stealths, we need scouts) like to get as risk free as they can. You want to defend that? Be my guest. But dont call this stand-up-and-fight mofo a *. Further, if you want to annoy an enemy, if you want to be in their ratting system causing havoc on your own, go for it. I'm all for it. But do it with 10 safe spots and buzzing around. Or logging on to kill stuff. Dont do it by afk'ing for half a day to, Im guessing, lull the enemy into expecting your away. That strikes me as griefing. ----------------- Friends Forever**
Haniblecter Teg F.R.E.E. Explorer Elitist Cowards	Posted - 2008.08.09 14:32:00 - [8] Originally by: Orar Ironfist "Hey look at me i fail so hard that i cant kill this 1 guy in a system. Please CCP change it so he cant be there so i can farm all day with no risk at all! " You can't kill him fail bunny, that's the thing you dbag. He chooses fights, times, location, and is nano'd so he can disengage if the system #'s explode. It'll be more difficult after nano's get the dose of medicine, but that doesnt eliminate the griefing aspect; the fact that you can sit in a system for however long you want, and be invincible. ----------------- Friends Forever
