And to be honest, this sounds too much like the Mittani's influence because of what happened between Goons and Star Fraction. Smaller alliances should have the ability to contract as many allies as they need.. without financial cost. Limiting the number of allies is feedback we've gotten from the merc industry, I'm not sure Goons care. If they do, they haven't voiced it to us vOv.
So basically you are saying you are ignoring the forums and sites like eve news. Because I barely read anything and I've heard the Goons whining. |

Shame The biggest issue was that being able to invite everyone and the kitchen sink to your war meant that hiring a merc became completely irrelevant. Hopefully limiting the options slightly will provide people with more incentives to hire mercs (but still let you throw a ton of money at allies).
Hiring Mercs has always been irrelevant, and always will be. Why because there is no point unless you have a fixed target like a POS or something. Why would I ever hire a Merc to join a war. Either the aggressor hides from the mercs, or the mercs suck so much that the aggressor wants the war to continue. I'm better off hiding off for a week, leaving corp or playing another game. What you need to do to fix wars is to force the aggressor to put up some isk, and a structure some where. Then the defender would be able to force a fight to bring a war to a close. Then it would make sense to hire mercs.
PS- Most of your professional mercs are trade hub and pipe gankers who refuse to go out huntung a war target, and dock up at the mere hint of a fair fight. In short worthless as most aggressors do the same thing, and the aggressor has lots of neutral alts.... |

Just like I ask everyone else who mentions this. Do you have any proof of Goons going crying to CCP? As your leader would say: You're not a valid subscriber, you're a NPC alt. The opinions of NPC alts don't count for anything So come back as your main, ask that again and maybe you'll get an answer.
Or more likely someone will war dec your corp/alliance. Let's not forget this whole thing came about because Mittens decided to war dec his biggest critics. I'm not about to get my entire alliance war dec because I posted with my main. |

No it sounds like boring tedium due the poor interface that alliances have. To get immersive, action packed gameplay in this situation my best bet is to play another game. Or just join an npc corp, dock up, or head to WH/LS/NS.... |
