Greetings!
I just thought I'd throw in a couple words on non-consentual PvP. In my humble opinion, this is a potential game killer-in fact, it's slowly eroding at the fabric of this game as we speak. Here are the main points:
1) Newbies are at a severe disadvantage if they join any corporation-they can be ganked without protection anytime that corporation has a war declared on it. Lack of new blood is the downfall of any guild(or corp) and the best most corps can hope for is stagnation.
Erm, stay in high sec space and don't **** anyone off, yal will be fine, no risk, no rewards

2) Veteran players who have opted to specialize in non-pvp skills are at a severe disadvantage. They are forced to either hide in stations during times of war or remain outside of corporations.
Again, Veteran players who don't wish to partake in pvp, then stay in high sec, and don't **** anyone off. Low risk, low rewards Quote:
In my humble opinion, there must be "safe spots" where players who do not wish to do PvP can survive, and even thrive inside of a corporation environment. Let's face it-if we wanted to play alone or vs a computer, we would be playing stand-alone games.
There are, it's called high-sec space, and to keep these safe-spots safe, don't **** ppl off.

I am personally watching my former corporation essentially disintegrate due to non-consentual PvP. We have recently lost 3/4 of our active membership. After attempting to switch corps to avoid wars 3 times in a 2 week period, 1/3 of the guys that left went to solo corps, 1/3 went to PvP corps, and the other 1/3 who left quit EVE altogether. This was not just some loose group of guys-the bulk of us have played on-line games together for over 2 years.
In closing I'ld like to say that I view PvP as being real similar to sex. If its non-consentual, it's just rape.

As for this last part, non-consentual pvp is one of the things that makes this game rock. Your forced to outsmart your oppenents and evade them. It's up to u to survive, don't try to change one of the most popular aspects in the game, just because you've played for 2 years, and still haven't learned how to survive. Sounds like your Corp might need a bit of quality WoW time, I hear it's pretty safe in THAT universe
