Deterrence OF application

[jesus]

Often see DTR AFKing in space, alone near their POB. Not answering to any hailing, no guns moving... no nothing. Been doing missions alone to test setups today and this guy been afk for about 1h if not more. he havent moved during my 1 hour move. (the screens are 15+ minutes apart). Its usual DTR farming time to officialdom? it's sad AF. not really what is expected from a faction who want to become official especially when most of their member doing this

I note DTR has clocked up 49 days over the last 3 months. That is 23 days more than the next faction GMS.
We are all probably guilty of sending our trader on a long cross-system run and getting distracted in RL. It happens.

Your complaint has no merit when trying to negate them going OF simply by this single incident. I note they are not even parked by a base, which is usually where AFK activity takes place. I would give them the benefit of the doubt. And no, I have nothing to do with DTR.

Please... could you also refrain from using the abbreviated term AF as it is vulgarity isn't it?

sorry (not at all) if i hurted your feeling but its not the first occurrence of afking from DTR i've noticed. Often near their POB or Delos Or snubs afking out of pvp zone doing nothing while caps kill.... afk money farming... why i don't report? i don't see the use since staff already know about it already

Well, to quote your namesake, "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone".

Oh, and if you want to be a potty mouth, keep gulping the feces and spitting it out.

Did you challenge and kill the DTR? You are in a hostile GB.

Often ... usual ... most of their member[s]...

Trying to establish a generalized narrative from a singular data point is not statistically or intellectually sound (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faulty_gen...ralization).

Often ... afk money farming...

We held a little fundraiser-event internally a few weeks ago and racked up more than 15 billion Credits by the ten highest ranked donors alone.
There is no shortage of funds inside DTR and if money is needed by a member, we supply that internally by giving it to them from either the DTR-bank or our personal funds.
During the last month we supplied funds for 2x 5k-transport, 2x Serenity, 1x Dunlin, 1x Cr, 1x BC, 1x Dreadnought and about a dozen codenames iirc.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_silence)

After seeing your initial post on this thread we had an internal talk with the player in question.
He assured us that he had to attend urgent RL responsibilities that tolerated no postponement (it's a game after all).
As he is a veteran of Disco and knows his way around, I expect this to stay a single occurence.

Shame.....

You can F1 in space and then post in disconnected later to be safe if there's an IRL emergency - if you weren't in active interaction it's fine, a vet should have known this instead of afk

[Oprixy]

"when most of their member doing this"

Ahh yes one person being afk in space for whatever reason means that the whole group does it, yes, yes of course.
