So they know not to ever bother running locates on you and that you're a total non-threat? If that's what you're going for by all means, do this.
Also either actually fight back, hire mercenaries to do it for you or pay for the surrender. Doing any of those things will be more effective and more entertaining than sitting there passively taking a shafting. |

So if he's not going to do anything his options consist of "Sit there and take the D" or "Sit there and take the D". |

Sorry to burst your bubble, but declaring and maintaining a war against an inactive entity requires no time investment. All you do is pay the bill once a week. Moreover a 50 million per week bill is entirely trivial to a dedicated war dec group that likely makes billions to tens of billions per week on contracts.
You sitting there doing nothing is an acceptable outcome for the aggressor, if it wasn't they would have dropped the war already. |

People keep talking about the size of a merc group as if it's a major factor in their effectiveness. |

Demerius Xenocratus wrote:It matters when considering setting a trap for them. A few guys in blingboats can be blobbed to death quite easily. If a merc group is large it will generally operate as multiple small groups. Also on the whole the larger the entity the less cohesive it is.
The only really consistent difference between a small merc entity and a large one is that a large one offers more opportunities to kill them. Some will be camping jita, some will be in Amarr, some in a pipe, others actively hunting something. Whereas a small group will likely only be doing one of those things at once.
Please gain more experience shooting highsec mercenaries before posting about this. |

Tbh I find it odd to wardec at all. Given a group of sufficient size it's way more reasonable to just suicide people. That way they can't prepare themselves and thus win't hide in stations. 50 Million ISK or more are better spent on vexors, thrashers, tornados and catalysts. It is not the same. You should try it for yourself some time. |

"Is it okay for someone to keep kicking the ball into my goal like that, is it considered harassment?" |

While we're one the football analogy it would be more like a team of 2 vs a team of 300 with our team having heavy metal boots on preventing us from running. I declared war on The Marmite Collective this year.
We're winning, by a huge margin. They outnumber us about 5 to 1.
Please stop citing member counts as if it actually has any bearing on anything. |

This is why carebears are horrible at diplomacy. They can't do basic math and apparently don't understand the concept of value either.
I mean wow, there's so much wrong with that post that it boggles the mind. First and foremost if it costs someone 50 million to be at war with you, and they want to be at war with you, why the crap would they ever accept 50 million to not be at war with you, let alone 25 million? They'd lose both the desirable condition that they'd paid money to create (being at war with you to begin with) and then also be down 25 million isk.
They'd stand to gain nothing by accepting it and they'd lose both money and the thing they paid for in the first place. Only a total moron would even think that's a viable offer to make. |

See if you shoot people instead of complaining on the forum you have way more fun.
When in doubt, do violence. |
