We're always looking for new wars. Now with new war baiting strategies:

Step 1.) Build a 1 man corp that has tower anchoring rights in empire
Step 2.) Place a tower in a highly desired system
Step 3.) Anchor many labs and hardeners at the tower
Step 4.) Turn the tower offline
Step 5.) Wait to be wardecced by people wanting to steal the labs
Step 6.) Turn on force field and hardeners, unanchor and scoop labs, apply to join Dec Shield
Step 7.) Leave Dec Shield, wait for wars to cool off, repeat process
Step 8.) Tears

hows about....people stop blueing the hell out of null sec and fight each other?

Why are complex moves this needed just to get wars going???

Ridiculous.

If people start doing this, the whole thing will get ridiculous real fast.

Because that will be the straw that makes the whole thing ridiculous.

No one in nullsec gives a rat's ass about Dec Shield and highsec wardecs. Stop assuming everything has to do with 0.0, FFS.

If people start doing this, the whole thing will get ridiculous real fast.

From what I hear, things that go on in Highsec are exactly what nullers worry about...

Edited from the aggressor's viewpoint:
1. Start a one man corp
2. start another
3. start another
4. have corp 1 dec target 1
5. have corp 2 dec target 2
6. have corp 3 dec target 3
7. have your takedown team join corp 1, don't use roles.
8. corp hop your takedown team from corp to corp.
9. If a corp gets drawn into Dec Shield, walk away, just like you were going to anyway, when you built the 3 corps
10. Problem Solved

Don't join Dec Shield, it's a scam to permanently war dec your corp.

edit: You've pretty much reached the limit of your experiment. The only people who are going to get trapped are those that are attached to their corp names. Therefore, no one will dec with a corp whose name they value. Therefore, your strategy becomes stalled. Ironically, you've proven that, despite the flawed mechanic, corporations can easily avoid this problem. In effect, you've solved the problem through education. It now seems unlikely that your experiment will bear the fruit you hope it does.

I meant the trapping in various way not only this one. If people use this one and find other way to make people bite on with a war dec, the dec shield will grow even faster than it does now.

I think you misjudge the value people place on their corporate / alliance KBs. Some space fairing people put a lot of their interseller kredits into making those look good. Plus domain space and all that.

Which is precisely why every single alliance and corp with something at stake isn't going to war dec under that corp name. If necessary they'll create an alt corp and conduct the war through that entity. Even assuming they bother with it, because the only application is in high sec. There's no need to do it with the main corp. You'll still get the KMs no matter what. But there won't be any KMs, because war in high sec is pointless unless the defender is a willing participant.

If it's pointless because the defenders have to play for it to even bother, why would people care to create separate war deccing entities in this situation? As a member of an alliance that participates in a fair number of high sec wars, the only part about dec shield that is irritating is the massive number of notifications and setting up standings.

While I'm sure certain groups will go through the trouble of "create 8 war deccing corps and scrap them as they get dec shielded," I think more of them will just keep trucking along because they simply dgaf.

NO ONE WILL ******* WARDEC TO KILL ANYTHING IN NULL.

EVER.

Were you dropped on your head? There is literally no reason to besides warning people "omg were gonna like totally attack you" and get them to laugh at you while accomplishing nothing but dumping ISK.

If you want to shoot a tower in low or null, you go to the tower and start shooting. If you want to steal modules from an offline tower, you just pick them up. That's it. The OP is very freaking obviously talking about highsec tower bait.

But they won't go on that parent corporation's killboard. And for some folks that's a big deal.

In any case, your work-around is just that, and the fact that it is now necessary to create a special secondary corporation to dec someone shows how broken the system actually is.

Anyone who values "branded" killboard results over tactical flexibility is an idiot.
