AFK Farming in pve

I think something should be done about certain players abusing the new pve rewards by just afking every battle:

(last screenshot shows someone complaining about him afking more than once)

I think eff points should actually matter. However, turret eff points should be reduced so people don’t go to turrets and leave cargo ships in certain missions alone.

I dont really care about efficiency points, I just dont like some people just letting other poeple do their farming for them and taking the neodium for the win.

That’s the strangest thing I’ve seen in a while.

The likelihood of Fire Support failure is high if only 3 are playing it. That’s a lot of waiting through mission failures if that really is the agenda. It is easier to just play it.

This particular player though… afk in pve? I have been in Fire Support with him once before. It was a few days ago, and he played it that time. In these screenshots, he brought a ship commonly useful in Fire Support as if he intends to play it. I’m not trying to close any doors though. Carry on with the investigation :slight_smile:

I think fire support would be pretty easy to solo in a guard… I don’t think he has to sit through many lost games. 

Fire Support mission is perfect for one reason. It’s easy to complete and you get +1 loot spot from it.

Also fire support is perfect for farming because the enemys won’t attack the start point. It could be changed that.

Fire support is easily soloable in a frigates

Your signature says “destroyer” instead of frigate.

It is even easier to solo it in a destroyers :smiley:

this why milf brags about getting tons of mono, neod and berry drops? lol

Well you’re half right, I afk about 3 minutes till I get kicked from the battle then I will join in just before boss fight to make sure we win, I can solo the boss with a guard just fine and don’t get points for damaging the boss. Judging from high pug failure rate I’m actually doing them a favor.  If pugs have issues even get to the boss with 3 man, I do not believe they can 3 man the boss. Try go completely afk in r8 and r11 fire support and tell me how many times pug can finish it off. Unless you can provide a battle report or video proved me afk the entire battle, please don’t use such words. If afk 3 minutes then finish the pve by winning it is not allowed by game rule then I will stop, if it is allowed then I will continue doing so, need a response from dev/gm.

Yeah but it takes longer for them to GET to the boss, and you are also being VERY impolite by doing this. I hope you get reported and action taken, to be honest. If you do not enjoy PVE (which I don’t), then don’t do it. Do PVP instead.

Wow. What a I) I C K.

You can get it even quicker in Co-op vs. AI. I’ve received monos with r7 ships, neodium whatevers with r8 ships and beryllium with r11 ships. I know Milfuelle can play regular skirmish, but co-op vs. AI gets it done even quicker with drastically less chance of loss and shorter games due to human players smashing the ai. Another bonus to co-op vs. ai is that it does not drag pilot rating down to t3 range the way skirmish does.

It is mainly a time issue and a higher chance on failure if a guy decides to disconnect. I agree with Millanbel. Dont want to play an entire pve match, then dont play it at all. I always report these kind of afk players. It s wasting the time of other players.

 

 

After being kicked for being AFK I logged back in: see, NOT AFK!!! I had to use my keyboard to log back in and make sure I got the rewards from 3 other poeple doing the mission.

 

 

 

How long have you been doing this that it is actually justified for you, and you really see nothing wrong with it?

I tried PVP and I get pm’ed by raging players accuse me of hack and the inability of my team doing anything. almost most of my pvp matches would fail without my input, I’m done carrying my team thank you very much.

Let’s leave it to the Dev/GM? If they allow such behavior then don’t blame me, if they do not allow then ban me, I don’t care. Also how do you know I just did it for a couple battles or for 3 years or you just trying to flame me? It would make more sense to self-destruct in the beginning so I don’t get kicked from the game at all and just loot when the screen flashes? I can say I did it for 90% of my battle for 3 years but without proves, how can you tell between a player that was afk for couple battles or for 3 years?

It’s a waste of time for them to try it in the first place, if they constantly fail a fire support pve because they bring squishy interceptors then how can they win? Why would they try? I should carry my team to finish it because they’re not willing to bring a non-interceptor class? How do you feel about I die every battle in the first minute with a r6 mk1 modules interceptor and let my team finish rest of the PVE? If the game have solo mode I would do it but nope, have to carry my team in pvp, co ops, and pve.
