AFK Players in Dominion PvE | Forums

[DemarMerka]

The fact that up until yesterday, was seeing the same people who have been doing it since the second week of launch. Roughly about a week and a half. Even though I have reported them every single time. Other People have repotted them for sure and they are not only still playing, they are still AFK Farming...say one thing to me and one thing only.

Ubisoft will do everything in their power to do absolutely nothing about this. At this point I don't blame them. PVAI is basically all AFKer's. Anything to keep a player base I suppose. I give it 5 more months, before some one adds this game to a Top 10 Worst Game Launches of All Time Video and it bombs.

They can't even keep people from posting spam on their forums...HAHAHAHAHA. How do you expect them to fix this?!

I apologize if it appears that I did not read the post (which I can assure you I did). My post was in the hopes that the current solution, while not perfect, will at least help in making the problem a little bit better for all players.

just an fyi there is an actual simple fix to removing the people that afk without removing a game mode like the half-wit suggested. all you have to do is make it so that if players don't pick a character in the allotted time or ready up in the allotted time in between rounds or matches they are booted from the game. It won't completely solve the problem but it will fix a majority of the people doing it.

No, there is much more simple and more logical fix. People who score 0 points and do 0 damage receive 0 XP and 0 steel. If there is no free xp and free steel, there are no exploiters.

people have started doing the bare minimum, i play vs ai sometimes with a few friends who aren't able to play against people because they don't enjoy it, they'll come out of the base get a kill and go back to doing nothing, that's not a fix.

Then they aren't actually AFK then, are they?

This has happened in every online game in every genre ever. You can stop AFKers but you can't stop the folks who do the bare minimum.

I know a lot of people are complaining about this. But really who cares? "I'm constantly seeing people sit in spawn or run in circles in spawn getting free XP off every single game".
I personally don't blame them. Why are you people fighting against bots in the first place? For XP? For Bounties? Because you can't handle a real fight? You're basically doing the same thing! So you arent any different from them. Id be sitting in spawn getting free XP too if I constantly got disconnected. I'm sick of being connected to losing teams at the very end. Starting a game and going 15-1 then randomly getting disconnected leaving me with zero XP & Credits ect. As if I never played at all.. Its annoying as hell!! Especially when the game is 15 seconds from ending.

Solution: Completely take away Player vs. AI Or Take away the credits and XP you gain from completing an AI game.

Fix the servers...

Literally Three things Ubisoft needs to do.

Hey buddy, maybe some people like PVE more, so don't shoot down people who like ot fight AI more, especially when people can practice on them. so why at epeople fighting AI, more reasons than you list off. so don't you dare suggest they remove PvE entirely.

THANK YOU someone fires a reasonable solution

Well, it means they are not afk and therefore is solution. Problem is that these people are now farming while sleeping, being at work or school, having lunch...

0 points in game, should equal 0 end of match XP/Rewards. Problem solved. With the statistics clearly being tracked, it might even be possible to retroactively remove the XP gained by exploiters, maybe not the gear rewards though. Another game, warships, did this exact thing to stop people from Afking and it completely worked.

As for no action yet being taken: They have to have a meeting about this and decide the best course of future action, of future/retroactive punishment, and find a way to implement it. Then they have to actually do it. This was never going to be an overnight thing. Be patient peeps.

I'm still waiting for their official statement against this, because I can't find anywhere in their own Code of Conduct that says it's against the rules to stay AFK in a game, and furthermore they made no posts at all saying they are condeming this, as far as we are concerned, who says that players can't afk?

Massive D., please don't act, like you don't know what is the problem. I know you are smart enough to understand the difference between ppl who AFK for a short time, and then continue to play, and AFKers-exploiters, who are destroying experience for other players...

Please, read this, and you will have your answers to what kind of ppl "they" are, and why they shouldn't participate in this (and any other) game:
