If I kill them at the dome I don't get mats. So you actually made it worse for normal players (because they no longer get mats) while not effecting the farmers at all (they still get drops like normal).

I then go do AvA/agency stuff that I would normally do just sitting afk in dome city. Talking to Deathdolly the other night (while farming and discussing agency stuff with my officers over VOIP) I really find it hard to distinguish the "botters" from the "alt-tabbers" and using a capatcha to pop up for anyone afk reported farming will be a total pain for anyone doing legitiamite stuff in the meantime. I don't see a solution unless hirez puts in specific afk-farms which will never happen or ban people which is risky considering the above statement. Afk in pvp, not cool. Afk in open zones idk as long as there aren't infinite spawned like there are now.
