CCP will it be possible to change some game mechanics for cloaking and afk camping ? When will be something done about hot drops that only thrive players away ? Dont you wannt more ppl to play eve ? Dont you want more active players and less afk accounts that ruin the gameplay for most of those who are active ? I am playing for over 20 years now, but i never saw in another game something like afk invulneralble in active game areas. Maybe in 2025 you will do something for the best of the game …

I swear, you people won’t be happy until the ability to cloak is removed completely.

They can’t AFK cloak 24/7. There is a timer and you have ways of decloaking them. It’s not like they can just sit in one spot cloaked for 23 hours out of the day and just go to work and leave their ship sitting there.

Active players aren’t the ones whining about cloaky camping, it’s the nullsec krab bot fleets…

Holding sov is a meme. Its not actually your space. It belongs to cloakers and hot droppers AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.
When someone is AFK they cannot harm you, do they?

Cloaky droppers wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt for the fact you have to rat or mine for like an hour to make up for losing 40M isk. The worst part is they just filament out after shitting on you. They dont even want the space themselves.
Oof, might want to improve those skills or get a more effective ship.

Why in 2025 when it was already done in 2021?

You are clearly not playing for over 20 years. At least you haven’t been playing since 2021 and missed the change completely. There is no forever AFK cloaking anymore.
My guess is you are a returning player and should dock up immediately to get up to speed on current game mechanics. Otherwise you are in danger of ragequit due to ship loss.

Just to stir up the pot: I also consider myself somewhat experienced in the game and I cannot share the position that the current situation is very balanced.
Longtime cloaking is still way too easy, the ability to jump in cyno reinforcements too powerful as a threat. The Mobile Observatory too costly for an absolutely underwhelming performance. It will almost never lead to an actual kill or even a successful removal of the cloaker (rare exceptions), as it just forces him to renew his decloak-defense timer once every 15minutes, so he stays totally immune. And thats an easy task on an alt that has the only purpose to wear down the locals attention over time, to strike them with a cyno-ambush later on. Yes, the Mobile Observatory removed the option to really “afk cloak” for hours and days. But that doesn’t mean the situation is “good” now. It’s better, yes. It’s still “bad” from my perspective.
