ENY and Tower Sleepers

[Scca]

I can't say I have seen this in prime time.  Is tower sitting more common during off hours awaiting a side win?

It happens in prime time, but the effects are lower, maybe ENY of 10-12 at worst.  On weekend mornings, I have seen ENY 17+ from tower sitters who have been on since the prior evening waiting for the win, but it never happened, and they are in sleepy land....

isn't eny only based on those in flight/drive??

Back many moons ago.... did you not get booted for tower sitting?  Seems like it, but my memory is fading.

Never was booted.
Yes your memory is fading.

Falling asleep while playing isn't considered "tower sitting".

just remembered hitech found a way to get rid of the tower sitters in the new version.

You asked for a link and being the helping type of player that I am in gave you one.

Personally I hardly ever read the posts that semp posts, for the reasons you stated above.

I was just trying to be helpful,  that's all.

I read part of the link you posted but got pulled away.

Did HTC mention people sitting in ack guns away from the field getting timed out for inactivity?   Wouldn't that be something to fix it?    You get a few warnings and then PUNT.

And when they're using something like autohotkey to get around it?

Or even easier, a penny jammed between some keys on the keyboard.

Punt them for that, too.

Punt them for that, too.

So you're essentially saying to detect them through magic.  Got it.

Some people just Femaledog, piss and moan about everything in this game, it only really only affects those that want to fly the low ENY planes. Here's a helpful suggestion to get around the ENY learn how to fly other planes.  I swear some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope.

The problem isnt with ENY or tower sitting. The problem is maps that are remaining in rotation that are no longer conducive to active and interactive game play for the numbers that are on. This would include one of my absolute favorites.

As much as we may like some of the larger maps. They become a detriment to good game play because there simply isnt the numbers to warrant them any longer

All large maps need to be cropped by at least a 3rd. As the arena numbers improve. So should the maps sizes return
