To my surprise it is not considered an exploit to AFK cloak in anomalies 24/7.
It's entirely unfair, there is no way to counter this, which is very odd. We're playing Eve after all.
If you're going to be working for a few days, just log in your three accounts and cripple an entire system for a few days with no risk to yourself.
Am I the only that thinks this is madness? |

THIS IS SANCTUM!
Um, lacking a well here...
Anyway... It's lame, yes. If you have several hours and a smartbomb or a swarm of friends to ping drones between you could always find the edges of the grid and try and decloak him. In return for your day of play time he'll replace his 20k frigate and T1 cloak and be back in system 15 minutes after he notices he's dead. |

/signed, for once agreeing with an AFK cloak whine It is a pretty ****ed up game mechanic that three-four cloaked frigates in a system can stop the profitable CA's from spawning. Not that I care, living in NPC nullsec, but still, it's a little frustrating that they don't have a better system in place.  |

Any respect I once had for CCP is slowly being flushed away. With other issues they've deemed them to be an exploit, but refusing to accept THIS is an exploit... is silly. |

Grow some? How is growing a pair of balls supposed to make sanctums spawn? Oh wait, you saw the title, clicked on the thread thinking it's another AFK cloaking whine, and made a horribly ignorant response without reading a word the OP said. That makes more sense. |

Because its not an exploit. Its area denial. They are preventing you/your corp/alliance from making isk or playing. If they are there but not doing anything they are afk and no threat, if they are there group up with a friend. Coming here to cry like a baby will get ppl using agents to locate you and just do it for the tears. Man up and work around it. |

Forgive me for not knowing carebear terms/problems but "cripple an entire system" would be considered a pvp term. OP will want to edit it to "I can't make my isk because they bug annomalies in a system" |

Either way my point still stands. Man up, deal with it. Adapt. As OP says, this is Eve. Crying on 2 seperate forums (that I've seen so far) isn't dealing with it :) |

Thats just weak. For all I know they could be planning a cyno?
Except someone with reading comprehension V trained would be able to figure out that the OP isn't asking for hotdrops to be classed as exploits. Originally by: Salicaz

No, your point doesn't stand, it's a crappy game mechanic. |

There is no threat, so everything you said was pointless.
The problem is the anomalies do not re spawn with a pilot on grid. It's not a risk or threat, or anything to do with PvP. |

Well post in the missions and complexes forums, and make it sound less pvp :) |

But you said it had nothing to do with pvp? Unless its a thinnly veiled attempt at an afk cloaker thread it needs to be in the forum that is for pve stuff as i mentioned. Bringing it to the warfare and tactics one just confuses players like me who whip up a troll :) |

Of course your usual HTFU noob here goes here.
... but how do you propose stopping an enemy you can't find, can't see sitting inside the plex stopping it from despawning? Griefing your local and making you fear the red boogeyman is one thing, but preventing an empty plex from despawning while taking zero risk and requiring zero effort is pretty bad. |

Well, not by coming into forums and making it known how much it bothers you. And petition it, if CCP have said its allowed then meh. |

I agree with the OP. How are we supposed to hunt and catch ratting carriers if the plexes are empty, ffs? |

Yeah, Ok yeah AFK cloakers suck but that's totally not the issue. The fact they are afk cloaking in the sanctums and havens is the issue.
As far as I am concerned they can sit in here all day but that should not prevent the player from choosing to go and make isk, they choose to run the site and make isk with that risk but the fact they are AFK in sanctums and havens means they aren't doing it for kills because well we cant rat so wont have loot and salvage to collect and ships wont do anything at all.
You can't combat that, yet other stuff in EVE can be fought against.
CCP fix it so they respawn whether or not a player is sat in it or not please, thx. |
