Sounds epic hack the gate and you get 30 seconds after complete hack of a feedback loop local where they see what was there for the next 30 seconds and only after 30 second’s does it refresh
Gives people the chance to counter this play by having an alt eyes on each gate to their farming system, if they are lazy then that’s their own problem.
Is there a rational for hiding yourself from local chat besides emptying out local and not getting a target when people see you camping and can check your stats?
You want less interference for your activity and more gains, which in turn means you need to accept more risk.
A suspect flag is not risk. Who even cares about that flag? What you are after is null sec “AFK camping” where flags are irrelevant. The risk for your increased chances to catch something is that you have to put your SP on the line.
Why is that even it’s own topic? You clearly, by your own admission, talk about AFK cloaky camping.
Yes they will not change AFK Camping because CCP now only looks at the bottom line…how to generate revenue. They’ll look at botting as an offense but not AFK cloaking…both are AFK and both generate potential ISK, both the player has to be on at some point, but next to none. CCP is too busy figuring out how to stop people from plexing their account to worry about AFK Camping…lol
CCP could generally care less how many people PLEX their account vs how many people pay for their subscriptions directly. Somebody still has to buy those PLEX from CCP, so they get paid either way. And since the number of PLEX needed to keep an account active is fixed, there’s little incentive for them to care about in-game PLEX prices.
EDIT: RMT and botting are separate, although related, issues, and CCP does have good reason to care about those.
And absolutely none of this has anything to do with AFK cloaking…
You’re taking two different things and treat them like they’re equal. You’re also misleading yourself, possibly because of some serious feelings towards afk cloakers, affecting your judgement.
A farming bot always and literally creates isk, otherwise it would not be run. It literally creates isk, through bounties, potentially 24/7, until banned. You equate that to an afk cloaker who, 99.99% of the time he’s around, does nothing but sitting there. Even if he demanded isk from whoever he bothers with his presence, he would not be literally creating isk all day, 24/7.
Aside from this, are you somehow managing to ignore that the botters ships is being active all day, while the afk cloakers ship isn’t. It just sits there, doing nothing.
Even IF afk cloakers magically managed to pull isk out of renters 24/7, this isk would at least still not be created out of thin air, because there is no NPC magically creating it… but as that’s not even remotely possible, consider this nothing but a sidenote.
Can you now understand why he calls you a chestnut?
