DCUO: Seasonal AFK Exploiters

[Updated for 2023!!!]

The following is a straight list of AFK exploiters in DC Universe Online for just seasonal events since I started keeping records in 2018. This does not include toxic players or any other terms of service offenses. This does not include AFK exploiters of regular content. I will delve into sorting and analyzing this data further to look at patterns & trends in a future article.

To make this list, the user must have done one or more of the following:

• Remained AFK from start to finish of the instance
• Moved character into the battle, but out of danger to go AFK
• Moved character as far as possible from the room entrance to avoid being moved into the field (doesn't work with all alerts)
• Moved character around and do emotes for the duration of the alert, but not contribute
• Trolled chat while not contributing

Why this is a violation of Terms of Service

While this action is not exactly the same as an executable manipulating macro, it serves the same means of automating tasks that normally take effort and engagement. Farming AFK is actually worse because it comes at the expense of honest users.

Other Notes:

• This list is 99.56% accurate, meaning it has been reviewed on multiple passes with .44% cleared as non-exploit
• This list DOES NOT include people that crashed as I give those the benefit of the doubt
• This list DOES NOT include players that start late as load times can vary depending on client hardware and connection
• Names may not all be up-to-date as players occasionally rename
• I opted not to include Leagues since players change leagues over time
• Note that some naming conventions suggest bot ot botlike accounts/repeat offenders
• The list is mostly from personal experience, but some are lifted off DCUO streams where they are caught red handed
