What happens if we don't want to leave hi-sec? What happens if we don't have any particular interest in low-sec or null-sec?

Hi-sec is here, it's not going away, and there are a lot of people who live in it. People who cannot get to grips with this fact have no business being in EVE, just like people who can't accept the possibility of ship-loss in low-sec or null-sec.

You eventually get to a point where everything highsec offers is too easy.

Elite high sec PVPer, checking in.
I've ganked 99 Exhumers. Do I get a medal when I hit 100?

That is the problem. Too much for too little risk.

Or just grow some balls on your pod and leave highsec.
Plenty to kill in low, 0.0 or wormholes.

You dont even have to warn then with a dec, kill what you can catch.

I've heard this said a million times before, but I've never heard a convincing argument for why this is true.

not much point arguing with you because you're beyond reason but hey, at least I gave it a shot.

Stick with canflipping?

Given ccp cannot dedicate resources to policing the current dec mechanics I propose a simple solution. War is about confrontation between players and the current mechanics allow for a range of loopholes that create headaches for players and eat up resources.

When war is declared mutual kill rights should be extended to all players of said corporate entities for a fixed duration. This would make corp hopping to avoid or exploit the mechanic futile. While it is not a fix for dec shields it would certainly make war personal and stop simple mechanic exploitation.

Till CCP fixes null PvP so you can catch stuff without a hotdrop, a camp or going AFK cloaked in one spot for weeks, hell yeah. When you think about it, baiting someone with a can isn't much different than baiting them with a cyno BS.

But you forget to mention, that flipping a guy in a retriever aint quite the same as getting bbq'ed in a cyno bate.

The current high sec war mechanics far too often end up in a situation where one side (likely the aggressor) stands to gain something and maybe lose a little while the other side (the defending part) stands to lose out and gain nothing. That is a poor driver for conflict.

Wardecs have always been and will always be pointless. As long as they follow the corp and not the player, they can and will be evaded. In effect, this means wardecs affect only people who care about their corp name, have a POS they can't take down quickly, and the clueless. Any change to wardecs that makes them against individuals will lead to those people leaving the game. They don't want to fight. They aren't going to fight. There is nothing you or CCP can do to make them. Period. The End. There is no fix for wardecs. Just get rid of them. Ganking is, was, and will always be the only way to get individuals.

The only failing of the change to wardec policing by the GMs is POS destruction. The only solutions that are needed are ones that make POS bashing in hisec possible.

This is from the same guy who emorages and bans people from his YouTube channel every time someone (including people from his own alliance) criticises his pretentious videos.

Although thats a very good description of why most wars have been fought for since the dawn of time
