Thats why most of us play EVE at all. There was some grand thing or another that led us to the game and kept us playing over a few years. Forgive me for choosing to participate in something the way I choose to.
The point I was trying to raise is that all to often war decs force corps of people to play the way someone ELSE wants them to play. Eve is not a pvp or pvp game uniquely its what you choose to make of it. Most of you who run around blowing stuff up (especially those who pvp!) are supported by those who choose PVE activities.
The reason why I choose to argue about wars is all to often these wars serve no other purpose other than harrasment at its most basic form. I cannot play in a function which my character is tuned/designed for so in the end all that achieves is the removal of my playtime. Which when I pay for out of pocket, which means they are taking my money. This is not fun, and a good way to turn people off to this game entirely.
Why is it that carebears rarely engage in pvp? Many reasons exist. Hell maybe some off us just arent good at it. But, most importantly is because we choose not to. Our choice is once again punished and we are forced to play according to someone else's playstyle. So going out at shooting enemy war dec targets doesnt appeal to us. More importantly its rewarding someone else for a way of playing the game, while punishing the other. If so maybe a way to turn the tide on those corps that war dec randomly.
Give it a option of pilot license revoke and let them get stuck in station or forced to do indy/missioning. Because thats what is happening. Whats good for the goose is good fo the gander.
In the end PVE and PVP are necessary mechanics, both are needed to make the game run. Thats fine and needed for depth and interaction.
I do understand wars will happen to high sec corps. I have fought in them in the past, and I have even enjoyed it sometimes. But when they stack up at it becomes more of an grind to even log onto EVE? Thats when something is wrong.
A better question would be; why do half of all carebear types quit within 6mos of starting to play Eve? I'll save you the tedious Google'ing .. it's because they get bored and unsub.
Have you ever PvP'ed? Yes, you just don't realize it. Have you ever placed a market order that was priced competitively? Have you ever warped out when someone was trying to get you to fight them?
Guess what? All of those things are PvP. Eve is PvP, regardless of what you tell yourself.

When I first played Eve, I joined a mining corp. I mined and did missions and that's it. Then we started to get wardecced by random small corps left and right. I was told to dock up and stay docked or leave corp and continue mining. I did as I was told. I was taught to be scared. It wasn't long before I quit Eve.
6 months later I saw an ad for Eve. It seemed really interesting and complex. And it was so open. Then I started to think to myself...
Why did I quit again? Oh yeah... those war decs... Umm... wait, why didn't I just fight back? I didn't want to lose ships! Wait... why do I care about losing pixels again?
I resubbed. And you know what? I'm still a carebear and I still suck a pvp.
But I'm not scared to defend myself anymore. I trained combat skills up some more that I needed to for missions anyway. I flew around in FW for a bit, died a LOT, but learned a lot about what PVP entails. Then I went back to carebearing with my newfound knowledge and skills. It's made the game a whole lot more fun and dynamic. In fact, sometimes I get the itch to just go get in trouble for the hell of it. Sure, the people who kill me mock me afterwards. My killboard is kinda embarrassing but it's not completely one sided anymore.
Just have fun with it. And if it's excessive then don't give them any content. Drop corp or just plain avoid them if you don't want to fight. It's not hard to do with the corp is so small.
In the end, they might catch you and kill you... but we're capsuleers. Jump into a fresh clone, dust yourself off, and continue where you left off. |

OP, everything you wish for is totally available to you.
Your every Eve desire is catered for.
It resides in an NPC corp.
The only cost to you for this hedonistic playstyle? The tax levied by the NPC corp.
If you want to shun the Eve taxman, so as to mission and mine undisturbed to create a wallet that will never be enough, you join a player made corp. Joining said corp comes with a few downsides. The ability to be wardecced is one of those downsides.
Pay the taxman or pay the penalty- only you can make this call. Don't complain when you reap the rewards and don't accept the penalties.

@OP : I'm a peaceful player who doesn't like to agress oher players. That said, i accept and enjoy EVE as it is, and even if my main activity is to pve, i have learned to at least survive in hostile environment as well. It's fully part of the game, as much as raising your skills or wallet. There are plenty of solutions (a lot of good advices already posted), but you don't seem to wish to make the effort to learn them. Then stay in your station and cry. Favoritism is good - CCP 2013 |

Did you continue the war or let it expire? Unfortunately for many Industrial corps the reason they don't fight back is to deny the aggressor "content" so to speak. You don't want to have too much fun for everyone or it may never end.

That is a missconception that is spread in eve. For example.. we are among the most dangerous high sec war dec groups. We are NOT going to let you go because you did not undock. THe more annoying you are the more likely we will keep the war going. Some groups we kept it for like 6 monhts. Others that interact and re respectful we are more likely to give them a break.

EVE is a PVP game. It's not a PVE game. It's designed / coded for one player to shoot another player. If you're trying to make EVE into a PVE game - you will fail. You are paying to play a PVP game - you need to understand that.
This whole thread makes me picture some dude with a pony saddle staring at a cat and saying the cat is all messed up. Don't most of the people playing this game play it for the PvE? (IE High Sec stuff)
I feel this game is neither PVP or PVE based but both. Many (factoring out miners and folks who want to get into industry full time) begin by learning PVE prior to wetting their whistle in PVP while other heartier folk jump right into PVP with no intent on carebearing. Carebears need combatants and combatants need carebears, it's a symbiotic relationship with the market place being the element that defines both sectors as parts of the whole. So in short, play this game any way you please just be aware of the other parts of the machine and how to best deal with them. |

High sec repeat war deccs and the alliances that do them are actually good for the game when you really think about it.
New Eden is a harsh climate to call home, ganks, awox's, thieves, and wars abound, and thats just high security space. with the rise of these alliances you get something you really never had before. Incentive to leave high sec, even if only for 7 days to avoid these mercs. Sure you can sit in station and cry all day about it, but thats just weeding out the weak from the strong or the common from the crafty. You need to be more than average to really thrive in Eve. You cant just sit in station the second danger appears and then cry at it to go away, and theres a difference between that and tactically docking when a massive fleet tries to jump you.
90% or maybe a bit less percent wise, of merc corps will NOT cross the .4 line because they lose the ability to use meta-gaming in their fights. In low or null there is no neutral untouchable logi or ewar, no out of corp bump ship you cant touch because anyone can be shot freely with minimal consequences. And you can bring friends in without the CONCORD intervention or assistance declarations.
They also destroy ships and stop market stagnation, especially in the barge and hauler markets where the supply is high and the demand COULD remain low if they didn't die ( afterall most people dont buy more than 2 of the same type of hauler / barge if they use it regularly, they need to die to force them to buy another ). Gankers provide this same service and teach the valuable lesson of protecting your assets from others, something you need to know how to do in low or null.
On top of that high sec wars teach you ( or are supposed to ) to watch Local, Scout, Stay aligned, and use the watchlist. All valuable skills in the long run.
Ending the wall of text here i say this
The rise of the Mercenary Corps was one of the greatest changes to high sec CCP has made in a while, it helped give people reason to go to lowsec and beyond or even just try it there rather than sit in the chicken coup of high sec hoping a wolf doesn't steal one away in the night. And when you do finally leave that pen:

Your choices are extremely limited.
you can
1) try as best you can to support your activities within an NPC corporation
2) Find refuge in a much larger corp / alliance that operates primarily out of lowsec / nullsec
3) try to become a griefing focused player yourself. buy multiple combat focused accounts / characters. upgrade your PC and buy another 2 monitors.
Fighting back doesn't really work in most cases. A couple players with multiple accounts and a high skill-point stock will destroy many magnitudes their numbers of low skill & industrial focused pilots. This is fact - if it didn't work that way small dedicated wardec corps just wouldn't exist.
Eve really isn't a game that caters to individual skill in pvp in the traditional sense of 'What is gaming skill?' Traditionally popular online games require hand-eye coordination, fast reflexes, situational awareness, and multitasking. These skills in abundance count for approximately **** compared to the far more effective methodology of tactical knowledge, human resources management, patience, and investment (your time, your ISK, and your real world currency). Furthermore what accounts for "Eve Skill" is applied mostly in preparation and patience rather than action during an actual encounter. Once a ship is pointed in most small scale engagements the result tends to be a foregone conclusion. |

I do NOT support repetitive and pointless wars that hinder high sec corps from being able to play the game. If I mission and mine that is my choice. Getting ganked randomly is bad enough, but thats somewhat realistic. Cops are rarely around for muggings and murders. But being forced to NOT be able to play a game that we pay for is pretty ridiculous in the long run. I enjoy the space themes, I enjoy piloting spaceships, I enjoy many of the facets that EVE has to offer. But I do not enjoy sitting in a station spinning waiting for countdown timers to end. Because thats what happens mostly. Thats the best way to get war decs to end and thats BS. Paying off pirates who are harrasing you seems counter intuitive at best.
If a war has a true purpose, like territory (but thats nullsec), monetary gain (griefing for money), or even because you were slighted.
When you are repeatedly decced by 2 man corps, 1 man corps running multiple accounts, etc etc. This is nothing more than people who are looking for free kills against the squishiest targets they can find, and that wont shoot back.
Its these wars that break high sec corps, scare off new players, and generally give way to nothing more than bullying and people who get their kicks from fighting things that cant shoot back.
This is a thread for specifically and useful arguments.
And yes I might be a carebear in EVE, but Ive served in actual combat in real life so I dont want to hear insults etc etc.
Cool another rl combat veteran...
Since you are a vet and I am a vet then you should know that numbers do count so on the 1 and 2 man corps drop the mining lasers and go shoot that one guy. So two or 3 of you get your war deccer camped and the rest of you go mining. I learned that tactic in boot camp. |

I personally wouldn't admit to being a squishy target that won't shoot back even if the opposition is a single guy. Just sayin'.
I'm not sure what branch of which nation's military responds to attack or the threat of attack by letting the attack happen, refusing to defend itself even when they have numerical superiority and just generally disregarding the entire concept of force protection. In the US military we have these things called force protection conditions which you increase if an attack has occurred or is expected to occur, typically this involves arming additional personnel, stationing more armed watches etc.
If only somehow that concept could be applied to a computer game where it doesn't even matter if you get killed and where fighting is fun, vice terrifying. |

I think the more important part of fighting back is not that it makes the war end, it is that it supplies gameplay for the defender.
When your response to war is to not play the game for the duration of the war you're totally depriving yourself of gameplay in an attempt to deprive the aggressor of content. The entire game is driven by content created by players interacting and becoming involved in conflicts with each other. I don't know why people don't expect and plan for those conflicts.

Couple of easy steps for fighting low numbers of High Skilled toons.
1. Spend a day training ECM skills. 2. Undock everyone in cheap and cheerful ECM and drone frigates. 3. Learn to keep your distance out of scram range. 4. Jam and Tracking Disrupt while drones peck to death.
You may get a kill, you may get killed, but it will be a laugh either way and won't cost much. All you need is a few corpmates.

ECM isn't the best option because it tends to force people to wait out their weapons timers which allows them to jump or dock which is a problem since 99% of engagements take place on gates or stations as they are the only natural choke points.
In a situation where the opponent is likely to attempt escape stuff like nuts and TDC are better. |

An option that hasn't been named...
There is an under-appreciated and somewhat controversial (but also sort of wonderful) alternative for small corps/corps that don't mind a quick disbanding:
Dissolve your corporation. Reform it seconds later with the same name (etc.). It costs 50m ISK to declare war. It costs 1.6m ISK to form a corporation (+ whatever for renting an HQ, posting a recruiting ad , etc). If you don't mind the 20 minute hassle of re-establishing your corporation, it's a lovely and troll-y response to try-hards attempting to inflate their killboards.
The ISK piece of it is sort of icing anyway, right? The guys dec'ing highsec mining corps don't care really about the cost of the dec. They also don't care really about making carebears better players. Carebears who don't want to fight and aren't skilled to fight, thus, have this little disappearing-reappearing trick as an option...for now. |

You're either paying in ISK, killmails, or lost playtime. And it's because you allow it. Imagine a gymnasium full of thousands of people, mostly crowded shoulder to shoulder. Now imagine them all pushing and shoving eachother to get more personal space. That's EVE Online. You're letting yourself get shoved, while refusing to shove back out of personal choice, and complaining that you're getting shoved. Shove back.
Thorvade wrote:Its these wars that break high sec corps, scare off new players, and generally give way to nothing more than bullying and people who get their kicks from fighting things that cant shoot back.
If a corp is going to break over a 1 man corp wardeccing them, or a newbie is gonna quit over losing a mining barge... then the corp would have broken and the newbie quit for any number of other reasons. Actually I think more people quit EVE due to engaging in boring solo PvE burnout than they do from getting griefed.

Thats why most of us play EVE at all. There was some grand thing or another that led us to the game and kept us playing over a few years. Forgive me for choosing to participate in something the way I choose to.
The point I was trying to raise is that all to often war decs force corps of people to play the way someone ELSE wants them to play. Eve is not a pvp or pvp game uniquely its what you choose to make of it. Most of you who run around blowing stuff up (especially those who pvp!) are supported by those who choose PVE activities.
The reason why I choose to argue about wars is all to often these wars serve no other purpose other than harrasment at its most basic form. I cannot play in a function which my character is tuned/designed for so in the end all that achieves is the removal of my playtime. Which when I pay for out of pocket, which means they are taking my money. This is not fun, and a good way to turn people off to this game entirely.
Why is it that carebears rarely engage in pvp? Many reasons exist. Hell maybe some off us just arent good at it. But, most importantly is because we choose not to. Our choice is once again punished and we are forced to play according to someone else's playstyle. So going out at shooting enemy war dec targets doesnt appeal to us. More importantly its rewarding someone else for a way of playing the game, while punishing the other. If so maybe a way to turn the tide on those corps that war dec randomly.
Give it a option of pilot license revoke and let them get stuck in station or forced to do indy/missioning. Because thats what is happening. Whats good for the goose is good fo the gander.
In the end PVE and PVP are necessary mechanics, both are needed to make the game run. Thats fine and needed for depth and interaction.
I do understand wars will happen to high sec corps. I have fought in them in the past, and I have even enjoyed it sometimes. But when they stack up at it becomes more of an grind to even log onto EVE? Thats when something is wrong.
EVE is a sandbox, which means you are subject to non-consensual player interactions every time you undock. You wanting to play your game does not override them wanting to play the game their way. They take steps to play the game the way they want to - you can do the same. Epic Space Cat |

Did you continue the war or let it expire? Unfortunately for many Industrial corps the reason they don't fight back is to deny the aggressor "content" so to speak. You don't want to have too much fun for everyone or it may never end.
When I was doing HiSec decs, the most fun decs were the ones where they fought back or set up traps to get me. I lost ships sometimes but had an enormous amount of fun.
Decs where the targets try to "deny me content" by staying docked resulted in me employing the same tactic; keeping the dec going and if I was particularly annoyed by the corp, I would stay logged in and docked even when I was not at the computer so they could never feel safe to play (and when they did get used to my presence and undocked to run a mission, I was right there to get them. :) ) Epic Space Cat |
