If 500m is a hardship to you, you need to be doing other things than declaring war on goons. Please see your nearest level 4 agent.

Any true monocleer would easily pay that cost. I make more than that DAILY.

Please tell me how this new wardec system is supposed to be 'better'?

Apart from the obvious minor benefit that war is slightly easier to administer, it seems setup to protect large alliances. Not that alliances even have to be that large before war costs become painful for smaller corporations.

So please explain to me how this is an improvement on the old system. For everyone apart from massive alliances, that is.

In short, it's vastly more expensive to declare war. Why? It's not like 0.0 alliances don't enjoy targets in empire as a break from 0.0 blobbage, so this change seems to benefit no-one (apart from Solar Citizens)

PIF such a poor boy. I make that in a minute!

would you like my 5 man corp to go capture their stations?

war declarations exist to provide fighting in empire, that is the point of them - they are nothing to do with 0.0 territorial war

the point I am making is that the new wardec system seems to make declaring war on alliances vastly more expensive than it was previously - why is that necessary? the only beneficiaries are large alliances, who won't give a toss about the cost when declaring war themselves, but are protected from wardecs from smaller entities - that seems bizarre, why was this change necessary? it seems a strange change for the worse

I haven't talked to our personal CCP liason yet, but if I had to guess then I'd say that CCP gets that the obvious point of empire wardecs against large null groups are for the sole purpose of getting easy ganks on solo people carrying loot into/out of hisec.

So maybe they only want to encourage hisec "wars" that are actually wars instead of things used to pad killstats and get easy loot.

pay vastly more than the old system? why?

please explain why the change was necessary

I would think that a "large null group" would be able to protect its people carrying loot into hisec?

Your ignorance is absolutely legendary.

What war have you been involved in where shutting down the supply line was not an obvious goal? Lol if you seriously were.

Easy ganks a problem for you? You're in the wrong fuckin corp if they are.

If its easy to take something significant from the biggest alliance in the game the game must be broken huh?

While its true that CCP has created a system where everything favors the large alliance

Want more targets? Pay more...

you could also ask nicely if they could declare war against you, asking wont hurt right?

if you can't afford 500m easily, then wardeccing goonswarm would be rather pointless.

There is this thing called roaming. and gathering Intel of enemy movements. you are not going to take all of goon space with 5 people but you can go in with a scout and 4 assault Frigs and kill ratters. Or you can keep bawling on the forums, whatever.
