Do you take cash out from an ATM Machine? Do you experience EVE through an LCD display? Do you suffer from RAS Syndrome?
High sec wardecs aren't broken, it's high sec in general that is broken. To say that high sec war dec mechanics are broken is redundant, since war dec mechanics are an attempted "fix" for high sec, to allow PvP somewhere where PvP is not allowed, in a game where PvP is the norm. Of course it's going to be a silly kludge.
For the rest of us in EVE we merely raise our eyebrows and say "what is this "war dec" you speak of? I expect everyone to shoot me in the face if they are not blue, and I only trust blues so far too.
Stop whining about a mechanic that's actually just a hack and HTFU. |

If it is "reasonable" or "naturely acceptable" to "buy" such "privilege" to war dec a corp, shouldn't it be reasonble for the carebears to buy "privilege" to not get deced? Or pay to get the war void?
If you emphasize on the legality brought by the money spend, then it should also be true the other way around.
Plenty of war deccing corps in high sec will call off a war dec for the appropriate billions of isk. So you can buy your way out of a dec - it's just much more expensive (ie everything you own). But you want immunity. No. The only way to be immune is to stay docked or - not play EVE. |

Yeah let's remove consequences for anything. Lost a ship? Doesn't matter, have another one, cos you know people might rage-quit when their 20bn isk ship they spent years training for is popped. Other people are richer than you? Can't have that, some people might be upset and discouraged and stop playing. Just give them free stuff.
No I don't think it's stupid at all. In fact I think it's what makes EVE what it is. Quite unique. And quite attractive, to a certain mind-set. Yeah "other games" might have millions of players. Only EVE has people sinking substantial numbers of real dollars into the game either through PLEX or multiple accounts. And kudos to CCP for thinking of a way to allow it. They get the money, and players get pixels that have a very real chance of being obliterated. There's the thrill.
So anyway, the possibility of not being able to log in makes you value actually being logged in and free to move about a lot more. There's a price to freedom in EVE. I used to be a carebear. I didn't know how to defend myself. Now I do. I know I can roam high sec confident enough that even under a war dec the deccing party will get a bit of a shock unless I'm really not paying attention. I can always log in. A player not willing to invest time into understanding how to play EVE properly doesn't deserve to undock. |
