CCP! Jade Constantine meta gamed us. Meta gamed the Goons!! *sniff* I want this fixed right now!!!!!!!!! *sniff*

By the way any word on when you will process my job application?

Come on Jade, being able to lock allies into mutual wars is clearly a really bad idea. Right now, I could form two alt corps, have them wardec each other, and then grab a bunch of free allies or even paid mercs, make the war mutual and never let them out. This is a bad thing, and these changes go a long way towards fixing that problem.

Limits on allies are not just about Goons, why would *any* corp wardec anyone else right now? If you do so, you are subjecting yourself to a possibly unlimtied number of allies. You talk about 9000 vs 100, but what about a 20 vs 20 wardec. Right now, the defender can pull in many hundreds or even thousands of allies, and there is no way a small corp would be able to deal with that.

what exactly does goonswarm have to lose by being in a highsec war with anyone

answer: nothing, because we've been using neutral alts in empire since 2006

Guys, before this goes on any further, kindly take off the hats and get real - we do not develop with one corp or alliance in mind...

Yeah it appears so - your FHC foreign legion alliance might still be on the cards.

Jade, the problem with all of your arguments is that you think of nothing but Goons this and Goons that. I have yet to see a post where you put more emphasis on mercs and high-sec wars than you put on "STOP THE GOONIES FROM BLOBBING EVERYONE". Maybe just repost your idea without all the anti-Goon sentiment and it will more than likely be received much better.

Also stop with the tinfoil hat bullshit.

@ Marlona Sky - Looks like you're (or at least a group of FHC folks are) doing this already at the merc level, which sounds intriguing and cool.

I'm reading the same post over and over and over again while trying to find some issues people are having with Inferno 1.1

it's a bit tiring

here, have this

Because it's good game design. In fact, the way war decs were designed with Inferno was absolutely in keeping with the spirit of the sandbox. Allowing entities to rise up and defend other entities, should they wish to. Only problem was, that goofball Jade found a way to use the sandbox to grief Goons, something that is certainly not allowed, especially with devs who came into the game via Goonswarm to begin with being in charge of game mechanics. Favor the blob, everyone should be in 9000 man alliances! Stupid.

I'd say you should just spawn them a few t2 BPO's while you're at it, but honestly, that's less egregious than changing the rules for the sole purpose of benefiting the largest entities in the game.

I thought you were for the supercapital nerf

You've got 36 groups of people that would of jumped on the war regardless if it was against you, or if we had declared war on the flying unicorn corp/alliance, the fact of the matter is, we did not whine about these mechanics, we embraced it. Its high-time you did the same and get over it, you wanted war and you got it, and we plan on playing by whatever changes are put or left in place. Also, stop claiming victory when you are not even participating in the war.

How will you ever find time to post useless 10,000 word essays and run you rp "business". You barley log on as it is.

Inferno wardec system was meant to counter this by giving highsec communities a respite from being wardec-spammed but the attempt got hijacked by mental invalids who complained that "goonswarm is protected now" despite the fact Goonswarm's home region has zero CONCORD protection and they do all their logistics through alt corps anyway as an adaptation after years of managing highsec supply chains under the old, non-scaling wardec system.

Let me tell you about the repair systems skill or energy pulse weapons skill. This isnt a negative effect, it lets the RAH adjust to incoming damage quicker. thats a positive.
