Such a often parroted yet clearly moronic statement. Nobody is saying afk people can hurt you. The issue is clearly that you can't tell if they are afk or not. They can be afk all day and come back for a few minutes a day. Because of this simple and indefensible act, entire systems are rendered unusable in PVE just because some guy can enter a system, cloak up and go afk all day yet still remain a threat. |

Check out the regular rabble, highjacking another thread in F&I out of nothing better to do than argue endlessly, absolutely and moronically.
Who can take you clowns seriously? |

Such a ridiculous statement for obvious reasons. Still posting, eh?
Some people constantly seem to forget that one of the biggest niches that EVE fits into is people who don't have a lot of time for MMOs. This game was meant to be played in the peripheral as well as actively. Take planetary interaction for example, you can make more money if you do it actively but you also have the option of setting your cycle so you don't need to check back on it for weeks. How angry does it make you that I set mine for 4 days at a time? In fact the only reason I still play this game is because I don't have to dedicate a lot of time to it to progress. The game play really isn't anything special, in case some naive individuals can't tell.
This game would undoubtedly have a lot more playeres if suicide ganking in high sec wasn't such an easy and a brain-less activity that will almost always incur greater loss on the victim since aggressors can pick and have all the intel they want on a target. I would still be paying cash for my sub if it wasn't for that. That and the horrible Rattlesnake changes that flipped its specialty on its head. It's now selling for LESS than it was even before the hype of the RS changes brought the price up to 800 m. CCP made a huge by making high-sec suicide ganking a playstyle. Of course its great that suicide ganking is possible, but its far far too easy and cheap to do and is used as a greifing tool by losers that have been reduced to this game out of getting **** on in more skill-demanding pvp games.
I hate to say it but AFK cloaking plays into that peripheral gameplay part of the game, though uniquely different in that its an aggressive act against the other players in the system, creating a threat in an entire system while getting **** done IRL. Seemingly unfair, but unfairness and aggressors advantage is something we are apparently supposed to expect in EVE, (along with scam bots). The game really is a joke in so many ways. I'm very glad I don't need to dedicate much time into progressing in it.
