I have a solution for you Shut down Wardecing Mechanic... If people want to pvp they can do it in Low sec and Null. Stop Suicide ganking in highsec by taking away the abillity to fire on other players.
Fixing this might get EvE subscription base up to 1 million subs. And that to me Is personaly worth getting rid of most of the griefers. They are in the way of progress. Anarchists, psychopaths and the criminaly insane people have alaways been taken care of in IRL. If we had let Our world function like EvE you would not be able to step out your front door without a shootgun posse having your back. Its Unrealistic that EvE is not Policed more, A society can't function If you let the sociopaths run Free. It crumbles into chaos and despair. In EvE that translates to declining Subscriptions as most people dont like to get stomped on.
Now facts are clear we cant keep going like this or the game will die. Hopefully CCP undestand this and puts in mechanics that get ridd of the "Problem People" If there are no easy targets they will quit and I dare say that for each griefer gone 4 carebares will take his place... 4:1 ratio its totaly worth pushing every last one of them out of the game... They are in the way of progress, they are not contributing to the betterment of the game, They have to go, Every last one of the litte griefer cockroaches have to be shown the Exit door.

OR we go to low sec and fight fair fights instead. or why not go to Null?? instead of acting like a Coward? I know some of you get your kicks from ******* people over. And I have always let it go in the past. But after spending the last 2 years ( was in low and null sec before) in highsec it has become very clear that some of you are ******* this game up. Either its because your are clueless about what you are doing. Or its actually a planed action to wreck EvE... either way it needs to stop..

Any updates?



Does this mean that if players are killed by other players before CONCORD can do so that the insurance is still paid out?

Useful service to us smaller corps with no way to defend ourselves to grief corps other than pay stupid amounts of money to merc corps.

I support this

Except CONCORD.

Seriously, a lot of people want to act like things are only one way in EVE, but they clearly aren't. Yes, there is a large PvP sandbox element in EVE, but it is regulated in various ways. Players figured out how to use a pre-existing mechanic in a novel way, to defend themselves against the "harrassing lawsuit" version of wardecs that run rampant in hi-sec. The devs first decided to treat it as an exploit, but after some consideration, re-allowed it. People use existing mechanics in EVE in all sorts of novel and original ways to circumvent things that would otherwise inconvenience them or make their lives harder (not to mention to scam, trick, bamboozle other players, etc). I'm not sure why your ability to wardec carebears on a whim, knowing that will screw their week up 100% of the time, should be held sacred.

I think the question you need to ask yourself is why using game mechanics in unconventional ways always seems to be fine as long as it's not something a carebear can do to affect the way you like to play. Funny how that always seems to be the argument people like you will make in situations like these.

I'm fairly certain the devs didn't create the wardec system thinking that it would be used to incessantly harass carebear corps in hi-sec. What would you say if they raised the wardec cost to 500m ISK? Would you be crying about that, too?

First, no I didn't come here from WoW. Second, are you trying to argue that reputation is so meaningless in EVE that the idea of using it as a means of getting other players to act within certain boundaries of dignity and integrity suitable to their relative positions is pointless? If so, that's a bigger indictment of EVE than it is of some game mechanic you happen not to like.

What corp worth entering combat with is going to want a "Dec Shield" badge of shame plastered in its alliance history?

War decs are fine as they are. High sec griefers need to come to low sec and learnt2play. Or wardec people who want to fight.

If they're asking for and receiving special protections on the basis of their claim that their purpose is to train new players, then a high percentage of relatively old characters (who are not actively teaching) would tend to work against that claim. In addition asking for special protections and receiving special protections would seem to me to work against their stated mission of training new players in all aspects of EvE; a game where nobody's special and nobody's safe.

If they weren't asking for nor receiving special protections, then the decision would be moot, and the community would decide if they wanted to punish those who attacked E-Uni.
