I actually have a good reason for the six of my characters that are in their starter corps staying there.
Come sale time a character with no corp history gets a premium price over one with a corp list that makes your eyes bleed to look at. And at 1.7B to transfer right now, every little ISKie I can squeak out of a buyer counts.

Their risk/reward ratio is hugely skewed. As a person in an NPC corp, I would agree with this assessment. However, in EVE, if the risk/reward benefit is hugely skewed for something could you really blame someone for choosing it? It would be foolish not to. Wardecs and NPC corps need to be fixed, no question. Social corps and Awox buttons are not the way.
Wardecs, yes. NPC corps, no.
The only thing wrong with NPC corps is that they cause a flood of tears in this forum from people that like to use words like 'force' when discussing game mechanics. For some reason these alleged sandbox promoters seem to get real wound up when someone else is not using the sandbox the way they want them to.
Now wardecs on the other hand...where do I even start. The entire thing needs to be wiped out and started from scratch. So many years of patchwork fixes has done nothing but make it worse. CCP has had the time now to see what works and what doesn't. It's time to grab the bull by the horns and rewrite all that legacy code into something befitting of this century.
Sure, it'll be a pain in the ass for the coders and will use up a lot of time some might consider wasted, but it needs to be done. Else it will just keep getting more muddled and more unworkable as each new layer of 'fixes' gets rammed on to it.

What intellectually dishonest rationale. You're trying to paint a picture whereby only nerfing wardecs, already one of the weakest mechanics in the game, is the only way forward, and that's just patently untrue.
Really, Kaarous? You're actually going to go there?
All you do is cry because CCP won't nerf everything except awoxing and ganking. As it is you have risk free 'fun' shooting fish in a barrel. But that's not good enough for you. You actually seem to want God mode for your chosen play style. It was great fun back when you were 12 playing a single player game, but those days should be long past.
If you are afraid to work for your kills, then you are playing the wrong game. If you are afraid of consequences for your actions, then you are playing the wrong game.
It's time to wipe the tears of your face and start playing the game that's in front of you. Not having a tantrum because it's not the game you decided it should be.

You're hatred of the truth and of evidence (as Kaarous provided) is sad.
That's the difference between you guys and myself.
You see posting here as some sort of contest or combat. Something to be won or lost. I see it as a place for sharing information and ideas.
By the way, "You are hatred" is not English. Just thought I'd share that information with you.

Total immunity to wardecs is nice and cozy and safe.
Yeah..but it's not, is it?
NPC corp miners getting ganked all the time. Haulers in NPC corps getting ganked all the time. Builders in NPC corps getting screwed due to mechanics changes ( or another player does some market manipulation) when the stuff they just spent a month building becomes worthless. Traders in NPC corps being at the wrong end of a trade war. Mission runners in NPC corps having their mission objectives stolen. Just plain folk in NPC corps being scammed for all their ISK.
The list goes on but I think you see what I'm saying. It's simply not that 'cozy and safe'.
So as much a really small, really verbal subset of PVP people like to whine about wardec avoidance, it's just not really a thing. There is danger at every turn for those in NPC corps. Plenty of ways to make them miserable without crying to force them into a barrel because you are too lazy to actually make an effort for your kills.

You are trolling, right? I got my first couple of solo kills (even one 1:2 I remember) against much older players in an FFA (Free For All brawl) organized by Crossing Zebras only a couple of months into the game. And I didn't stop successfully PvPing solo and in fleets since then. The SP wall is a myth, just focus on one hull/weapon system and you are competitive in short time. Yeah, focusing on one hull/weapon system can make you perfect with it around 25 million SP, which is around 1.5 - 2 years depending on your implants. Add a few million if it's a cruiser system and about 10 million more if it's a battleship system. Then see bittervets undocking only in fits which reliably beat the crap out of your system of choice, and continue this miserable existence of being content for everyone over SP wall, till you leap the rest of SP wall.

There is no justification for any corp in EVE to have wardec immunity.
That's about NPC corps, right? If not, then ignore what I write next.
I'm pretty sure that the sudden loss of a significant portion of the player base is a pretty good justification for keeping immunity. On the other hand, if immunity is removed the people who stay in NPC corps will be wardeccing everyone and utterly destroying any corp less than 500 people.
People won't even bother making player corps. No point to it. Most NPC corps will be larger than the current alliances. The game will be completely changed.
So you have two options. A game that is slowly but steadily increasing it's playerbase with immunity as it stands now or a game with half the population we have now where everyone is jammed into a dozen mega-corps.
It may seem a simple thing to remove immunity, but I feel you haven't really looked at the consequences of doing it.

It wasn't a good enough justification for the ISBotters. They can't hold the game hostage by threatening to withdraw their subs anymore, and CCP standing up to that selfish, petty tyranny is a good thing.
Yeah. And don't forget the Awoxers either, Kaarous.
Whooie! Did they ever throw a fit. But y'all are still here after declaring your hate for the game that CCP destroyed with balance. None of you left. CCP didn't cave to your pathetic cries of falling skies and mass unsubs. No, you just moved to the next most risk averse PVP you could find. Like the ISBoxers are still here. Still multiboxing. Just adapted.
There's one thing that everyone has in common in this game. From the fluffiest carebear to the most heartless alliance leader, they all fill the forum with anger, threats and tears when it's their EVE that CCP is looking to fix.

Getting new players out of NPC corps and into player corps is now an important goal for CCP.
As it should be. It's just that turning them into fish in a barrel is not the way to do it.
There is no more incentive to leave NPC corps than there was 10 years ago. That's the real problem. Make being in a player corp meaningful.
Balancing the awox situation was a start at positive incentives. And positive incentives are what's needed. Not removing wardec immunity. Not forcing players out after 30 days. Not raising taxes to 90%.
You shouldn't be punished for wanting to stay in an NPC corp. You should be rewarded for leaving it. Though many may never leave, as is their choice in a sandbox, many may actually want to leave if the rewards are worth it. And speaking of sandbox, why aren't player corps more inviting for new players? It's not CCPs place to force them out, it's the player corps place to make it an interesting and exciting option to staying in NPC.
There are good corps in the game. Even some good teaching corps. The thing is that there are so few of them it's frustrating for players to get into them what with the draconian interviews and massive wait times.
It's all you whiners in high sec corps not willing to take new players under your wing that's the real problem here. You don't want to do that, it seems. What you want is new players being forced to make one man and small corps of inexperienced players so you can practice the manly art of war griefing for your own risk averse pleasure.
So stop with the ranting and raging and start doing something about it. If you seriously think it's good for the game as opposed to being good for your chickenshit play style, then open your doors. Welcome new players into the fold and make it a fun and positive learning experience to be blowing up ships. Or don't. But don't cry if you are not willing to be part of the solution. Just go away and let someone else that actually cares about the game do it.

Except for the part where CCP gives player corps so little to offer. That's their problem, and they need to get around to fixing it. That will mean a big net nerf to NPC corps, once CCP finds the spine to do it. And just like the ISBotters, the NPC corp carebears will cry and howl, but their time of standing in the way of improving the game will finally be at an end. Quote:

I was an awoxer for a long time before CCP decided it wasn't going to be allowed anymore, and as a result I have been in more corps than probably anyone in this thread. The "griefing" corps you are frothing about? They are the friendly, welcoming, helpful ones, the ones who take newbies under their wing and teach them all about the game. You claim otherwise to perpetuate a lie for your own selfish benefit. Quote:

We are, and we always have been. But CCP's PvE centric, boredom oriented design for highsec makes that an uphill battle. Something carebear chickenshits like you work so hard to defend.
Is there anything more carebear than being a CODE logistic pilot?

You're not a carebear and you can defend yourself. You are also not identifying yourself with your spacechar. Just saying that carebear as a term is of no use. It actually helps them when people use it. It needs to be dropped ASAP and replaced with something more descriptive. They are people who do not wish to defend themselves. That's so much more accurate on so, so many levels.
I was just prattling on. I hadn't actually spoken to this iteration of you yet and that's the best I could come up with on short notice.
But since we're on the topic. I call them the SRA (Severely Risk Averse). I think it's a better description of what we have here in EVE as opposed to the traditional MMO carebear.
