ReyaXZy Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Please for god's sake do something about afking in bountys!!!I suggest harsher punishments or something because seriously the afkers are getting out of hand and they are everywhere this days even on regular missions.Sorry about my bad English it's not my native language.

(XBOX)Skippy575 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Sadly I don't think DE will do anything about it. People have brought up suggestions quite often but so far nothing has been done. All we can do at the current time is either deal with it or use recruit chat.

Voltage Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 If you find someone leeching or AFK, you can report them via support with evidence. The counter measures for these players would require major matchmaking changes or other abusable systems such as vote kicking. Digital Extremes does do things about these players, you just have to report them to the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erytroxylin Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) 5 hours ago, Ex09 said: I had a match earlier, all 3 of them AFK and just let mallet do the killing. To be fair, the xp system encourages this behavior. I can kill something with my warframe and get 100% xp to my warframe. I can kill something with my weapon and get 50% xp to my warframe and 50% to my weapon. I can let someone else kill something and 75% of the xp will go to my weapon and 25% to my warframe. Because of the above, the most efficient way to get xp for a new weapon is to go into matches with only that weapon equipped and don't kill anything. I often go into missions and only do whatever is needed to not fail the mission, otherwise I let someone else get all the killing done so I can get better xp(or focus) generation.

ReyaXZy Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Did 2 defense and each time one guy was afk then i got bounty and lol even more afkers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acersecomic Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Take a screenshot, go to the Support, describe the issue and attach the screenshot. There is a category for reporting playing for afk/leeching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Report them - and keep reporting them. Or f*ck with them. I had one guy AFK'ing in a bounty - so I decided to join him in his little fishing session. Literally followed him around until he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in game but if you go through the support on the site. Make sure you have the players name and a screenshot of them on the map and the end mission screen. Also f*k afkers and leechers Edited September 17, 2018 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnarlsDarkley Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I have never encountered any leecher in 3 years...Oh wait..I am playing solo for that exact reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)vidare Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I hardly see afk'ers outside poe. One reason might be that bounties are just that boring and they hope to get a free "run" while doing something else. Some fish or mine stuff the entire bountie.

(PSN)Napalm13b Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I just can't get over how lazy you have to be to not play a game. If it's that laborious to move around and press a few buttons button to these people, I would hate to see them at their jobs. If they don't like grinding why play? The entire game is a grind.

Tunderke Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 The two possible best solution is use clan/recruiting chat or play solo. Sadly playing with randoms always have a minor - major chance it contains AFK players and if 1 at least on the missions do something then you can finish it. The biggest problem is when the regular missions have doors and you need other one person to open a door what would be nice if you can bypass with chiper.

GrumpyInUt Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 AFKers abusing the system and here I am worried about joining a high level match to level my stuff and not drag the other 3 team mates down. I don't know what's worse, AFKers or the guy on Mobile Defense who makes it a point to grab the console and slow walk to each computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's already a system against AFK. What you mean is leechers who do just enough to bypass the AFK detection system. In the case of PoE, it's fishing or mining. Maybe... Share their spoils? Like they share yours? But this would oversaturate the fishing market... Though I'm not sure if that's really a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should there be an anti AFK or Leech system in the first place? Ingame mechanics and report functions can stay as they are. The intended abuse comes from within the community, so you need to lead and shape the community itself to prevent such behaviour. Make firm, repeated, vocal statements on this matter; do not permit any sympathy, remember affected players to report "bad apples" and show that actions matter. I bet my monthly salary, that if during a DevStream DE would show number of bans they executed due to leeching, with explicit breakdown into problem areas like ESO or PoE, and not only once, but for a month, there would be less leechers in the game. If you know, there is a high probability leeching behaviour will be reported and followed with consequences, you would not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watch to see the next cool thing or be entertained when they kill themselves with Lenz or make funny jokes lol. I don't want any negative nonsense in the streams. I just want fun and positivity. If people campaigned as hard for cool positive things as they did for punishments and negativity, this place could be even more amazing than it already is. So why don't you join me and be happy Tenno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsher punishments than a single warn and a ban? That's going to be hard to beat, a temporary ban or a permanent ban for a single afk infraction is a bit to much don't you think?

Alright but don't attribute any value to the mission-quit tracker in your profile. Between all the bugs most players got a lot of abandoned missions. I remember early on it bothered me a little when I encountered exterminate missions with the no mobs bug or like when an invasion reward was a catalyst but that patch had a bug where most of the transitions between the faction areas wouldn't work. Then they introduced relics and I quickly discovered that it was possible to abandon a mission at the end while the relic countdown was running and still preserve the relic so with a lot of abandons I could ensure I always got the rare reward (Eventually they fixed that). These days I view it as players need a quit ratio above a certain limit to not be gullible Lotus tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
