It’s quite simple. Instead of accepting the fact that you have to put in effort to secure your space and make use of it, you are here demanding of CCP to fix something that’s supposedly wrong, despite it having been in place for over 12 years and being no issue at all to people that understand game balance and the status quo and that make use of the tools available to them.
Botters are hampered by afk cloakers. A cloaky in local means the bot stops functioning. Now if you advocate for the abolishing of afk cloaking without counter nerfs to the actual cause of afk cloaking (local chat), you are supporting botters, irrespective of your actual arguments to wanting afk cloaking removed.
You are showing that you do not understand the whole system, or do not want to understand it. That you only see your limited perspective, without caring about any other and that your only goal is to have the system changed in your favor and that’s why you’re being called out. There are only a select few groups of players advocating for the abolishment of afk cloaking:
- RMTers / Botters
- Renters
- Totalitarian / entitled people
- People that don’t understand game mechanics
- People that don’t understand game balance
The first 3 can’t be reasoned with in any way and neither can they be educated, because they have a singular goal that they will want to achieve in any way possible. For RMTers it is hard cash. AFK cloakers hurt their bottom line and make them angry as a result, because their income isn’t as efficient as it could be.
Renters should probably be merged with the 3rd category and the totalitarian / entitled people simply aren’t interested in what other people think, or what the facts are about. For them, it’s all about themselves and their own believes, nothing else. https://www.chrisshepherd.org/on-the-totalitarian-personality/
For the latter 2 it depends on their intellectual capabilities and how willing they are to educate themselves. If they are willing and capable to see beyond their false premises and limited perspectives, they will understand why they’ve been wrong and move on, perhaps even making use of their newly gained wisdom to effectively combat afk cloakers. But if they aren’t willing or capable, they are better recategorized under “entitled” and are a lost cause.
I also wrote a post about this in another topic.
Now, in what category do you believe to fall and do your actions support that believe?
