Always in the thick of it.. never just standing on a hill. My point is, there are legitimate times when a mech overheats and explodes in combat.
If I were PGI I would be looking at accounts that consecutively overheat within say 1 minute of a match start.. over and over again.
Again, that and put a random capthcha "safety" over the launch button and you could stop at least the Macro miners and catch the overheaters as well.
You know ,now that I think of it, If I had to be punished occasionally to get heat farmers out of the game, go for it I can suffer.

Well don't hit O. No offense but the fact that you even need to use override shutdown is not very um, reassuring but I guess you are right people mash the button and take a gamble. It's fine.

I just had two games with one infamous ones - the first thread in this forum naming him was started on November 24th ...

But it still makes me suspicious. So I report the people that I think may be farming. If they are not, then the devs/mods will see that they are "real" players when they investigate and nothing will happen to them. But if they are a farmer then I hope they get banned.

yeah because farmers wait til 5 min in to do it or people accidentally do it in the first 10 seconds all the time? there's nothing tricky about it

Is this not a Beta? Are we not here to break the game?

You are soooo delightfully wrong. There are numerous times when I've had the CTD during team load, or some sort of bug that makes me exit the match right away. Then guess what? My mech is just sitting there while everyone is singing my curses because they think I'm trying to AFK farm.
It is the splodey-suiciders who are intentionally doing it.

that's a good point. PGI could stop the farming in a heartbeat by removing the money just for showing up, and increasing the money you get for doing things, but they refuse to. so its on them that we have game after game of 8 on 6's, and when people ragequit over it PGI will have no one to blame
between the no-HUD over heat bug, the matchmaker bug that makes constant 8 vs 7's, the constant DC's and the constant suicide farming, my first thought (being serious here) when i enter EVERY match is "i wonder if i'll be on the short team or the full team?" because more games than not one team is short a player or two. its not even noteworthy really if one team is short 3 players, esp on the weekend

Uhh I was referencing those players that shoot their guns, overheat and die without moving in the first thirty seconds. That's quite the feat to do if you're not doing it intentionally within the first 30 seconds.
So, you sir are delightfully wrong.

Hence why I log in once or twice a week to see whats changed, spend an hour or so on the forums and see if anything is changing for the better
