A lorry would be a hauler and lorries require constant input, EVE doesn’t by design.
Why does AFK refer to the player? Does that mean if I log in a miner but then log in a lowsec PvP char and focus mostly on the PvP flipping back to the mining barge when it needs input, then I can claim I’m not at all AFK?
From what I can see all this crying about people being AFK is all made up anyway. There’s no way to actually know if someone is AFK and there’s certainly no way people are gaining from long period of being AFK, so it seems more like an excuse than a legitimate issue.
So anyway, back on topic. So far the ganking changes have been very light and CCP needs to do more. The excuse of “some people are AFK” is not a strong enough justification to keep ganking in the game especially when there are many PvP mechanics that allow much longer periods of inactivity. This is even more true when definitions of “AFK” are stretched to include people who are at the keyboard but not looking directly at a client window.
But I’m not Lucas. I get that he’s someone who posts here a lot but that doesn’t mean everyone you disagree with is his alt. You’re just using it as an excuse to derail the topic.
The part where you think you can play on two characters at the same time without being AFK on one of them.
If I’m doing faction warfare and watching Netflix, the window that is focused for input is always EVE. You on the other hand have characters logged on without even having the client in focus. Yet you think you’re not AFK.
You’re just making up excuses as you go. Face it, whether someone is playing one clients or a million, whether they are staring at their client unblinkingly or have some other thing going on at the same time, none of it matters. It’s just an excuse you use to attack people who don’t play like you do.
I could do the same. I only have one account so can’t multibox and have no intention of doing it. I could say you’re playing EVE wrong and throw shade at you for it. But I don’t.
