While I can appriciate the work load enforcing the old rule put on the GM department, releasing this ruling without ammending the game mechinics, or even releasing a concrete plan to do so, is a serious mistake in judgement. |

I second the call for a blue tag response on this thread. And for that matter, I'd like to see what the CSM have to say.
The effect of sanctioning war dec work around previously acknowledged as exploits, no matter how spotty enforcement was, radically changes risk/reward in empire and deeply impacts mercenaries, vengeful carebears, and anyone who just plain hates each other.
If this was not run by the CSM, it sounds like Hilmar's letter is just a thrown bone and the march to hollow out EVE's essential characteristics continues. If they DID run it by them, seriously what the ****? |

GM Karidor wrote:As it has come up:
Changing corps while in space AND online is not considered normal game mechanics (as any CEO/Director/Personnel manager trying to get rid of unwanted members can tell you) and this will still be considered an exploit (no direct relation to the war mechanics other than "surprising war targets"). Either log off shortly or go dock for that.
As for the saving of high Sec POS through leaving an alliance, yes, that's easier now, but there are still ways to still destroy a tower within normal mechanics even after the war cool down due to leaving the alliance has ended (and it has been done successfully already).
The mechanic you are referring, as far as i know. to is aggress the tower continuously for up to 18 hours before being able to shoot it out of RF with whatever chars still had aggression. On a scale of 1-10, how reasonable would you say that way is?
And you reply does not address the other issues created by this ruling. I would like to see comments from beyond the GM department for more information. |

I'm pretty sure most of the directors, and from Mumble chats, most of the students, would prefer new war dec mechanics, new systems, so we didn't have to increase the war costs ourselves. 50mil to war dec someone for a week? Maybe it made sense when wars first were introduced, but when that's 15 minutes of market trading today, I'd rather see it all updated.
There has been an organized large scale effort from EVE University to get the war dec mechanics revised to better serve their interests since the last CSM Crowdsourcing. So much so that it was felt necessary to publish 2 sets of statistics, one with EVE Uni bloc voting removed to get a more representative list. I think it's a far leap to go from that to allege some kind of insider favoritism. But at the same token, it's disingenuous for EVE Uni to pretend this is an unlooked for but welcome game change.

If the griefers arnt bothering you or in fact griefing you, why do you need such extraordinary, game changing measures?

Very troubling. I think it highlights a gap in the knowledge/effort of the CSM that used to be filled in prior CSMs by having a pirate/nonPLmerc rep on.
I'm going to run again to address that gap and hopefully get this issue the proper level of attention it should have from both the devs and the GM dept.

If I'm elected, you can be assured they will take a long hard look at the dec system so CCP gets it right this time.
