But I can understand why CCP wants to change highsec wars. If it is true that in 90% of the highsec wars no fighting takes place, then it is even worse than I thought.

Just take a look at an eve newbie, I'll call him Joe Pod.

In week one, Joe is overwhelmed by the complexity of the game, he runs most of the tutorial missions, acquires several ships and many skillbooks. Motivation: 100%

Week two, Joe has finished the tutorials and feels a little lost in eve. After all, he is most likely used to MMOs that take you by the hand and exactly tell you what to do. As usual for a newbie, he will most likely decide to do some mining to earn money for better ships to run missions or do pvp later. Motivation: 80%

Week three, our solo mining Joe Pod is approached by a newbie indy corp. He thinks yeah, eve is about social interaction, I'll just make some new friends here and meet people who can help me with getting started in eve. Motivation: 100%

Week three and a half: Joe's new corp gets wardecced. For being an easy prey alone. They did not step on somebody's toes, they did not insult any other corp or alliance. Having bad killboard stats is reason enough to get wardecced and small newbie indy corps usually get wardecced a lot because of it. Joe is excited about his first war, Motivation: 100%

Still week three and a half: Maybe a single fight occurs where the aggressors curbstomp one or two of those clueless miners with dedicated pvp ships, off-grid boosting t3s and (luckily no longer) neutral logi. The CEO realizes that there is no way in hell to win this war and orders the corp to stay docked up until the wardec expires. Our highly motivated newbie Joe Pod is ordered to stop playing eve for a week and go play Skyrim or something like that. Motivation: 10%

Week four: in a rare moment of clarity, Joe Pod begins to ask himself why he should pay monthly fees to CCP for playing Skyrim. Most likely he will cancel his subscription and never come back to eve. Motivation: 0%
