AFK'ers are exploiting Mirror Invasion

in Feature Episodes, Events and PvE Content
As the title states, AFK'ers are ruining Mirror Invasion and are getting the rewards and no penalty. People in the DPS channels even collude to do AFK runs. Basically, they are laughing all the way to the bank and it's frankly insulting. Scrap the event, or ensure a huge AFK penalty is applied to all STF's that gets bigger the more a player does it!

If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.

    While I don't agree with those that AFK in teams that are actively trying to accomplish the mission as they can hamper the rewards for the rest of the team, those AFK runs in the DPS channels (and other channels) are pre-made groups that all agree to do nothing and hurt no one. It is not unlike the solo ISA runs they sometimes put together (one person fights while the rest warp out at the start).

    I disagree. The very fact they make AFK runs encourages others to AFK, even in PUG's. There is no excuse for this behaviour!

    if a person is AFK and does not contribute to the completion they should not get any rewards and they should also be booted from the if they are not active for 30 seconds, and do not mean flying in a circle to seem like they are active
