for special events like faschnacht, meat week, etc... they should have a pop up asking if the player wants to join the event if they are in the area, if they dont click yes within a certain time, they should not get rewards.

Why does anyone care if someone AFKs? They aren't hurting anyone or ruining the event. Everyone cries about " not getting my hits in" . You think you would be happy they aren't shooting and stealing your precious XP.
no they arent stealing xp, just getting rewarded for showing up...... typical mentality apparently
I launch nukes all the time, using ammo and wear and tear on my guns armor. Should I get more rewards from SBQ and Earl? No.
They aren't using hacked weapons, nuking the area or setting up missle bases. They are the least of my concerns.
but yet, they implemented a necessary damage tier to receive the rewards for SBQ, so people that just show up arent getting rewarded, they need to do something similar for seasonal events
Do you often get mad at preople who are not affecting your life in the least bit?
Second, I still got 3* from just showing up to SBQ on a second character at lvl14.
Anyone could also show up, literally do nothing to advance the event, and still get all the rewards. They could literally show up, find a spot, and then just literally do nothing the whole time.
Which would be exactly like being AFK.
So what's the difference at that point? I showed up. That is literally the bare requirements to get any rewards from the event. Be in the area. It's not based on anything like, how much your contributed, or killed.
What's the difference between a person showing up, not doing anything, then leaving after, and someone that's just AFK in the area?
And no, I won't accept the answer, if everyone did that then the event would autofail. Because that is an extremely unlikely occurrence. And if on the rare chance it did, then the AFKers get nothing.
Most people that AFK, are going to get something like 6-8 rewards, and with the rate that rare masks drop, most might not even get one going AFK.
Show us on the doll where the AFKer's hurt you.
Seriously though, thank you for reminding me to log on and start farming rewards while I sleep.
This👍🤣
Or I mean the high volume of nukes right now seem to be doing the trick.
A nice, fair idea here and something Beth should’ve thought of
I find it hilarious that some are this concerned with what other people are doing. Of all the things the game needs, this isn't even on the list.
but yet this should be ... its ok to complain about people not contributing in other events, but yet its not ok when it comes to seasonal? damn fickle ass community
I can't blame them for going afk. It's extremely boring.
boring or not, you should not be awarded for spinning in circles
Meh....in our group, we go afk during all kinds of stuff while others do the work.
We had 4 of our group afk at the event today. If I would have heard someone complaining about them being afk in local.....I would have laughed since there was 5 more of us doing the event.
Stop complaining and be thankful the event wasn't ruined by them. If they wasn't afk...they would get bored and start trolling.
Ita ok if you want to afk, no one here is going to judge you. You don't have to put up this big pretense of how much you hate the afkers. We get it, you don't want to feel guilty. It's cool, no one will think less of you. Plenty of people do it, you don't have to feel bad.
Go ahead and try it for a little bit, you'll feel much better.
Been saying this all day. This event got old after the first year. So now Beth wants you to be there on the hour every hour for 3 masks???? Yea no Ty, I'll just get my trusty rubber band , afk, and go live life.
Been suggested since the very first Fasnatch, and they have never indicated they are going to do anything like that.
What you can do is change how you let it bother you. You may not be able to control others, but you can always control how you react to others.
I don't mind AFKers but the people who drop a camp there to AFK in and are blocking tents and other camps and they have turrets reaching the event area or they don't even have a stash box in their whole camp... that's annoying.

thats ok, i never came here to make friends
Seriously? Why bother complaining about AFKers? There is no player cap in the event and if one’s going to do it anyway what does it matter if some one is afking somewhere nearby? It does not concern active players during the event in anyway! What is this stupidity?
Oh shoot, it’s Fasnacht? Thanks for reminding me, haven’t played in a while. Gotta break out the old rubber bands
Maybe the better solution is to allow AFKers to go completely invisible. If people can't see them, maybe people won't come on here to whine about the AFKers even though they have no ill-effect on the event? ;)
But honestly, there really isn't any problem with AFKers. You need to get over it.
Fatsnatch is supposed to be fun yet a bunch of people seem to only want to bitch about all the negatives, year after year. If it bothered me that much I wouldn’t participate.
theres no problem the first day or 2 of the event, then as the time goes, you start to realize the ratio of actual players vs afkers starts to widen to the point of having 10 afk vs 2 actual players doing events. i dont know about you, but ive never enjoyed doing all the work while other lazy asses are just standing around. this is also true in my actual life, which is why when i see people being lazy at work, i fire their asses
This sub is full of the toxic people who are doing the thing. The up and down vote ratio makes that clear. I've always heard that this was a shit sub for the community and today, I found out why.
Yep for real, This sub is comprised of 95% howler monkeys who are here just to vent at every inconvenience the game has, regardless if its already beed spouted 1000s of times.
Probably because it's an issue and Reddit is the main source of community/dev outreach for video games these days.
Been saying this for a very, very, very, loooooong time now.
If I see most people at the event afk I will just dip and find another server.
These people are not working for you; you are not the boss of any particular FO76 world. Just a friendly reminder.
Even if they weren't there, you'd still be doing the event, right? So how is it any different? They are just hanging out, its not like you have to do more work because they are there. You'd be doing the same thing with or without them. So what's the pronlem?
They aren't effecting you in the least.
The way you complain about this, it makes you sound like you're jealous of them.
