Again, I should reiterate that I am not suggesting we abandon war declarations entirely. I would just rather see them taken more seriously than they currently are. Every time I've gone hunting for war targets in these ridiculous 2 man griefer corporations, 9 times out of 10, they tuck tail and run as fast as they can as soon as someone willing to take them up on their war shows up. The last good engagement I had involved me losing a Hyperion of an expensive sort, but the six man corporation we were fighting was an honorable group, and it was...FUN.

haha get **** on scrub

If you let a 1-3 man corp put you out of business during a wardec then you're failing at eve.

Problem is: if there were fights, then it would ruin the statistics about wardecs. Can't have that right now.

i understand that getting wardecced by people that aren't actually a threat can be a pain in the ass, particularly if it means you can't autopilot your freighter or do whatever else normally do. However, requiring that the deccers have 10 alts instead of 2 will change absolutely nothing about your experience.

Besides, with 2 man corp + watch lists and locators, it should be pretty easy to keep tabs on them and continue normally (albeit slightly more carefully) with your regularly scheduled activities.

Before I begin, let me start by saying that I am not a carebear. I enjoy a good fight, and I have no problem losing ships, pods, implants, and whatever else goes along with it. I enjoy high sec wars, low sec fights, nullsec roams...the works.

That being said, I think there needs to be some changes on how war declarations get handled vis a vis the ridiculous 2 and 3 man corporations running around and bulk war deccing a half a dozen corporations at a time. The end result is one or two players doing little more than being a nuisance. I mean, I know we're all on the Internet here, but is it really necessary to enable people to go out of their way to prove John Gabriel's "Greater Internet @$#!-wad Theory" correct on a regular basis? I think not...

I propose that a minimum ACTIVE member count requirement (e.g. must have logged in within the past X days) be imposed on any corporation wishing to declare war on another. Set it to some reasonable number, like 10+, or even base it on some reasonable fraction (or whole) of the target corporation. Do something to make wars meaningful again, basically.

So you're saying that this individual who has war dec'd your much larger corporation and succeeded in killing one of your members should not be allowed to do that, then?

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE

Your scrubby corporation has qualified for a free wardec from Kris' Karebear Killing Korp.

See you soon! o7

This idea is 100% as bad as the OP's and constitutes a uniquely stupid post, even for you.

You're quite right. How dare I suggest wardecs actually ACCOMPLISH something.

Yeah, I suck. I forgot this was GD Light.

They already do accomplish something. Asserting that they don't is patently idiotic.

Someone pee in your Wheeties?!?! Umadbro? Sounds like you're one of those pathetic little souls that wardecs helpless high sec indies to pop their small towers. Go on, you can admit it...

Some of these vitriolic responses are rather amusing, but the point of the original post was to suggest a way to make wars more meaningful, not to abolish them.

Honestly... war dec costs should go up by a lot... 50 mil for a normal high sec corp... 200 or so mil for an alliance with 3-400 people...

Lets see that equals about 2-3 hours in some wormhole somewhere.

Summary: Carebears are bloody cowards, and need mechanical restrictions to deal with 1 man war decs, because a god damned 40 man corp of carebears apparently are no match for a single other character

No. War decs have been nerfed time and time again, crying for more nerfs to benefit the defender is disgusting. If anything, we need to make war decs more attractive (to both sides) and easier to get rolling

Easy to say that when you never log in.

I like the idea of making the corp doing the wardec larger. Right now my allaince has been at war for about 3 weeks and only one of the guys has been online the past few days but the first 2 week on one in that corp logged on. But it gets boring chasing one guy from system to system. So yeah make it where corps have to have atleast 10 players or something like that. And befor you all start whining I am a carebear I am not I know how to pvp I enjoy pvp just dont like chasing people.

So you're complaining that the corp that wardecced you isn't hunting you down?

I can help with that.

I dont see how you are helping seems more like trolling

The war fees either need to be PAID UP FRONT, to make people debate on whether to keep a character active or pay for a war, or, in case they want to exploit the game and move corps with the same characters, MAKE the ceo stay in the corp with a war bill owed UNTIL they pay the bill.

If 1-3 dudes being able to shoot you shuts down your entire alliance it seem to me that there might be something wrong with your alliance.
