Been playing the game for a few months now, and am having a good time, in general. The corp I'm a member of has been served with wardecs twice in the last 3 weeks, both times by a bunch of twits who are likely bullied on a regular basis in real life and bring their neuroses to the the game as some sort of salve to their bruised and battered egos. Both time the servers of the wardecs were seeking nothing more than extortion. The first time the offending corps ceo had his account shut down by CCP, and I don't know how the second is going to turn out as they seem to be more organized and have a larger membership.
The point being here, If I want trouble, I'll go looking for it in losec. These ****ers have no business serving a wardec for no other purpose than extortion. If they have a legitimate beef that's fine...take it to losec and leave the rest of us alone. It's bad enough seeing this crap go on every day in real life. To have to put up with it in a game is utter BS, and CCP needs to put a stop to it.

Mad...? No. Just tired of getting caught up in the psych issues some of the players bring with them into the game. That's what ECT and anti-psychotic meds are for. Extortion is against the law in RL...needs to be in EVE as well.

You seem to be under the misguided impression that highsec is a no-pvp zone. Wardeccing a corp and demanding isk is a completely legit game mechanic. If your corp can't defend itself from rival corps, then it has no business existing.
I would suggest that you either get some pvpers to help defend you or hire some mercs, but judging by the way you're talking about the people who decced you, you appear have issues differentiating games from real life. I'd suggest that you give up gaming in general because it's obviously too much for you to handle.

This. Beeing or having a corp is a privilege, not a right. Join a corp that can actually defend itself or drop into a NPC corp.

Dissolve the corp. Just make a private channel for you and your mates, set sandings to 10 to each other, and bam. It's just like being in a corp, but with no fees! 
Seriously though, posting on the forums to whine about wardecs is a very bad idea.
On another note, how do you like your pods in the morning? |

I was in low sec yesterday harassing some gate campers, and I was promptly threatened with a war dec. I couldn't help but think , ummm I'm in lowsec sec right now you don't need a wardec to engage. Whats the point? Should small corps like mine, who spend most of their time in low/null/wh even care that we are decd?

Pretty much the only benefit to them would be that they don't get sec standings loss if they shoot you. Also that if you happen to pop into high sec they can shoot you.
If you don't even go to high sec, there's nothing you should be more worried about than normal, except that you know you are being hunted rather than just being paranoid that you are. :D

Extortion is our business. Tears and complaints from the likes of you is just the icing on the cake. War is a part of EVE. Sticking your fingers in your ears and going nah nah nah nah nah pretending the bad people aren't out there will serve noone.
Oh, and the whole "ingame bullies have real life issues" fad is so past millenium...

whine whine whine
op when you are getting your butt handed to you on a platter by wardeccers, you don't look very hardcore or resourceful when your first response is to run to the forums and whine about it. It's called game mechanics, and they are working as intended. Maybe your corp should man up and figure out a way to deal with the problem yourselves. Or you could stay docked for a week or longer and just post more whine here. You know, either way.

Wait I'm confused. The "truth" of them being extortionists, and yet it's right in their corp name. Did you figure out what they did all by yourself or what?

The whole point being that it is far too easy to serve a wardec. And it undermines the corporate driven structure of the game.

Well you didn't find any pitty on the forums and you aren't likely ever going to find any in game.
First thing you need to know is that Eve is a PvP game. If you play Eve Online you are a PvPer, if your a not a PvPer then you are logging into the wrong game, its as simple as that.
You complain about getting Wardeced in Eve is the equivilant of logging into Counter-Strike and complaining that people are shooting at you.
Carebears do exist in Eve, but the game is not made for them, it is made for the type of guys you seem to be trying to avoid in game.
I wrote a blog a while back about Eve, and while I usually don't like to toot my own horn, I think its good reading for anyone who is confused about what Eve online is all about.

I imagine you'll be getting a few more war dec's once people read this and realize they lost 5 minutes of their life, which they now want you to pay for with interest.

Don't pay any ransoms, it'll just make you a target of more.
Set some nice long skills, log in and stay in a station or better yet cloak in a system far from anything. Then go outside and enjoy the day.
Boredom is what kills them more than guns.
It's also possible that 1 or more spies could be in your corp. Most of the chronic war declarers try to get a spy in before declaring.

People never seem to learn that posting on the forums about 'omgz i got wardecced its stupid and should be banned QQ' generally attracts even more corps to wardec them for the lulz.

In the beginning of EVE there where no sentries and no CONCORD. Amazing players like you went dock when successful players entered the system. Lots of bad players where complaining so CCP came up with a compromise. That compromise is the wardec mechanic we have nowadays. As any compromise it's less then awesome. The only thing we got out of it is hiding the core of the game. Lots of bad players fall for it and stay for a few month before they are driven back to games they can be halve decent at.

I've seen this thread in a million variations since 2004. It's not going to change, sorry .
Some advice:
- Don't advertise that you are an industrial corp. Stuff like recruitment threads, chat spam, bio entries.
- Stay mobile
- Have a good look at your member base. Some people use alts to inilitrate corps to look for targets.
- Don't fly alone
- Don't go out of your way to avoid a fight. Get some cheap ships and fight. Might as well get some experience while getting curb-stomped :)
- Don't corp-hop to avoide the war (CEO makes new corp and all members transfer). It's an exploit and gets you GM attention.
- If you keep getting owned just join an npc corp.

Wardecs are crucial or hi sec will be truly PVP free. All corps are formed for a purpose, or the players may as well stay in the safe NPC corps. Always that purpose must allow for PVP, even if its a loose arrangement with a PVP corps to protect them. If a Corp has not provided for the high chance of a war dec then they have made a big mistake, its up to them to correct it, not the game.
