Ok, so you guys denied my event points idea, and NiM0's remove AFK idea, well here's an dea submitted by Ghettoicedtea a while ago.
This will solve AFK for ec, so I hope you will read, and take it into concideration.

so we will get cool weapon for tasks? or ecs? anyway good idea
Or you could just you know add a button that you have to accept it within 5minutes?
I do agree this would be better as players have to work for it. Take bot event off this list because they already give ec once in awhile.
also we can make like if you do your quest some times in a row you get bonuses
Perfect idea!MOAAAAAAR ec :D
I don't see AFK for ec is a Big problem in era. I think staff team got other stuff to do then Solve a little problem about AFK for ec!(note i don't collect ec anymore)
How about for ever 100 trash you currently have in game you can spend it for 1 ec ;)
no it is bad idea to exchange trash for ecs. he we will tasks like aj sad then we will be able to get ecs while getting money
shut up about free ec, get over, tell me how does free uploads affect you? besides your pride.
I've got a old Iphone 5 laying around i might just make a nub account and plug it into the wall and AFK forever on a trampoline and in about 7 months time ruin era's economy with tradeable ec items... *Insert evil laugh*
by the way whats trampoline
1 iPhone 5 is not old, just because iphone 6 came out it doesn't mean that it's old.
2 you don't ruin any economy, right now the new trade ec items cost let's say around 5-10k shells? well when the is a lot of the new items then the price will go down, so no you're not ruining anything, you're helping them out
lol after 7 month you will have only 100 ecs. believe me i know. :-@
Seems like your math is a bit too optimistic and SashaGryg's is about in the right ballpark.
On the plus side, AJ, you did prove that you're not an AFKer.
Currently, free EC are given out at a rate of 2-3 per week, not per day. This does not count FB uploads since an AFKer isn't usually on to get those.
2-3 per week times 52 weeks = 104-154 EC in a year. In 7 months that would be 56 to 84 EC. With occasional FB uploads an AFKer could raise the total to 100 in 7 months.
This excludes summer months - which seem to have a higher rate of freebies given. I suspect this is because the EC are being used to entice new players to stick with the game and summer seems to be the peak recruiting month for new players. This is the main reason why EC are given out freely. The longer those new players play the more likely they are to spend the real $ that keep the game alive for those that no longer spend any real $. Giving out the EC entices them to play longer.
Like most people say ec if for doing events. They are an accomplishment for winning. And also how will people between 100-200 hours do this in a hours time?
It won't be fair to new and old players alike
Didn't they use to give ec twice a day?
I say keep the system people that get like 10 ec every day might disagree, all good stuff cost ec and theres some people that get like 1 ec every onto or so, and some people that right when they get off theres a ec upload/free ec so I say keep the AFK ec thing.
