I would like to take this moment to thank people for white knighting for CCP. But like I said. You will all go free when you can get free on your own. I am not releasing any of you early because the system is not fixed. And it is not fixed until it is. I've not been hiding any of the methods I'm using from anyone. There is no reason it shouldn't be fixable.

So RvB - RED Federation has just disbanded (3000 players), and we just stole their alliance name so they can't reform. If only there were some mechanic in place to prevent these alliances from being permanently trapped in wars. I'm not even sure they can reform into a new alliance because they're still stuck in outgoing wars. Burn Highsec Griefers |

I was hoping an announcement an announcement like this was going to be coming on the day before deployment. Well played CCP. Not sure what I think about the Red Fed thing Zerg. You're basically think-tank griefing now. I've noticed corps aren't getting proper instructions on what to do when they join DecShield or on how many players they can be legally shot by. (The surrender list and the begging that comes with it just for us to let some bears out of a mistake they made by misguidedly joining DecShield bear this out).
I came into this experience thinking the only annoyance for us was the constant notifications (maybe even get some pew out of it) and that you were doing this solely based on philanthropic reasons but the Red Fed name steal and the lack of any kind of movement on your side suggests there is more to this and you're getting a little too much enjoyment out of being the hand on the mixing spoon.
Give Red Fed back their alliance name. You're actually affecting the new player base subbing on a game you claim to be an advocate for.

So an update on what we're seeing so far:
1.) We're not sure if the situation has been fixed.
2.) Wars that are set mutual by the defender can start a 24hr retraction by the aggressor. We set all our wars unmutual right before the expansion to avoid this (and rightfully so, a dropped corp experienced 74 retractions in under 8hrs by staying mutual)
3.) No wars against Dec Shield have ended in the past 48hrs (by random distribution of our 286 wars around 81 should have naturally ended by now), so something is going on
4.) We proposed a new method of maintaining infinite war by a repeating multi-day staggered sequence of dropping corps out of alliance and rejoining a few days later to restore any dropped wars. Under the old rules this would have been effective because the start date of wars were set fresh when a corp joined/left an alliance. Two devs have sworn this is fixed, but not how they fixed it. Our proposed fix was to inherit the start date from the parent war when making a copy to prevent the 7 day extensions.
5.) Corps dropping out of an alliance still do not inherit the start dates of their parent wars. Because of the dev insistence that this loophole won't work we've concluded that all wars have a hidden end-date that isn't visible to the players. It is possible that copied wars now inherit this hidden end-date timer from the parent wars. Thus it's very possible the loophole is closed and we won't know until it's too late.
6.) But using evidence from point 3 above, something has changed with wardec mechanics. Or it's a "feature" we never knew about before because we had never unmutualed wars. As I said, we should of had 81 retractions by now and we've had none. Therefore we've come to believe that the act of unmutualing a war sets the hidden end-date timer back by at least 48hrs (probably 7 days). Therefore, since it's possible to instantly mutual/unmutual a war we've begun tests along these lines to see if unmutualing extends the end-date. We will know for sure in 5 days the results of these tests.

I haven't wrote something in a while. I was hoping for CCP to end it well, but i doubted it. I had so many petitions about the "Copy" mechanism being the root of the problem, but no GM nor any CCP member answered them in a satisfying way. Last petition ended in"It will be fixed".
I am so disappointed by CCP responses in this forum. I do not know if you, ZERG, are in direct contact with CCP, but responses like "Try it on Buckingham. You might be surprised" show no professionalism.
I started another petition, my last one on this matter, to answer for and to explain the current changes.
I have to say, I am not surprised by the actual outcome.
To end it i will use some words from my favorite EVE movie

The information I'm receiving from other aggressors is about the same. There is a hidden end-date variable to all the wars, and child wars are inheriting parent war's end-date. This means our proposed exploit of corp dropping and rejoining won't be effective. Both devs were correct in their assessment that this loophole is closed (or at least very hard to time it appropriately to use it).

It looks like CCP is clamping down on it from the patch notes today. But now is a bug which stops us from accessing wardec options. Looks like the fun will soon be over though. |

So far it seems to be in the hundreds. Eventually it'll drop off though. Once everyone who wants to escape has escaped we'll just leave things as mutual and then go into a dormant state until we're needed again.
I'll update the main thread with the ruleset for the current wardec system as I understand it shortly Burn Highsec Griefers |
