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)

edit: he's a simple suggestion: the cost of wardecs should be based on the size of the corporation/alliance making the declaration, not the alliance you are wardeccing... if you want 8000 people to have a license to gank in empire, pay more for it... surely that makes vastly more sense than the current system and allows cost to scale with affordablity more pragmatically

"shutting down the supply line" goddamn i love armchair generals in eve

nobody anywhere runs anything of importance from hisec to nullsec with characters in the alliance

OP FYI actually it is any Alliance that has a 900 members or more gets a 500 Million price tag.

50 Mill + 500,000 K per member if I remember correctly.

Why do you need to wardec Goons anyway? They live in nullsec, where you can shoot them no matter what, and not even lose sec status.

He wants freighter kills to be cheaper

Shutting down hisec logistics is a valid goal in and of itself. But I guess nullbears also want hisec to be 100% safe when it comes to their own assets.

Pity we generally don't run around with freighters in GSF in hisec, we generally use altcorps for that. Only dumbasses get caught in hisec in GSF chars, and **** them.

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

Deklein --------> that way

Otherwise CCP has said numerous times, including at fanfest, wardec fees are being adjusted to pay for targets. You wardec a 8000 man alliance, you PAY for the privilege of shooting a potential 8000 people in highsec.

Now, we all no that most 0.0 alliances avoid high sec except the few people who do logistics when not at war, during war they use alt corps.

Either way, they live where you can fight all day, every day and twice on sundays for FREE, so if you want to complain about price, go to freaking Deklein and shoot all the ammo you want for FREE

pay vastly more than the old system? why?

please explain why the change was necessary

So if you really did post because you want to be at war with the goons I'd suggest finding one of the many corps/alliance they have wardec-ed then contact the leaders of those groups and offer to pay the ally fee to join that war. For example, for us it would be about 15 mil (at the moment) every 2 weeks to join our war.

But this is old news,

Issler

its necro when people stop posting.

I think you've answered your own question. Making it more expensive to wardec a larger corporation gives an incentive to grow your corporation. The opposite is also true. When non-eve players read stories about eve, they're reading about the large null alliances. That's what brings in new players. CCP obviously wants people to play with others rather than play alone with their alts.

Looks like the OP resurrected it about a week after the last post, according to the timestamps.

you pay less isk, you get less targets

makes perfect sense
