Nope, it removed an exploit. And true to form, the carebears moved right on to a different exploit. Your end goal is that wars either stop existing, or are so weak that they might as well not exist. The answer is too damn bad. They're too weak already, if anything they need buffed, and their cost dropped to match the price it costs to flip a corp.
buff war decs to the price to flip a corp. This is an example of someone who doesnt have the ability to view life from another's perspective. There are others that want to play the game in their own way. Not your way.
There is a whole universe of pvp opportunities. Why would you want to further buff high sec war mechanics? |

If you wouldn't nonsensically react to the hate-bait ... ... and instead read and respond the posts of those you were already talking with ...
... it would help.
Let me repeat ... increasing the wardec fee solves nothing.
People still have that money. And your idea opens up the door for abuse, because people can and will simply wardec themselves using alts.
That would make it unnecessarily expensive in general. That would mean people group up even more ...
... and THEN we have the same situation as now ... ... with someone new coming up, proposing some idea that simply does not work.

What you want is for deccing anyone to automatically be a waste of time, isk and effort. You want wardecs to be 100% worthless.
The answer is no.

This would allow the small guys to war dec, and at the same time ensure that too many corps couldnt pile in on an industrial corp at once.
Also remember that the base cost of a war for corporations was 2 million isk with the doubling and a 3 war limit. This made it possible for very small groups without an alternate source of income to exist. Whereas now the players that would form these groups join an established group rather than creating their own, adding to its power and contributing to its spending capability. Instead of having many smaller, less dedicated PVP groups that a mixed or pve focused group could actually defend themselves against instead you get these powerful highsec apex alliances that Joe shmoe can't hope to seriously oppose. There's also the fact that the ally system, or more specifically the unilateral nature of it, makes wars horribly unappealing to groups not entirely geared towards PVP. Not only is it certain that the only people who will ever declare war on you are dedicated PVP groups, but the size and power of those groups will be much, much greater than it used to be. There were some benefits to the Inferno changes, but overall it has been super harmful to highsec PVP gameplay.

My only issue with wardecs is that they have no substance. No goals or objectives except your personal ones. I don't mind the current mechanics, but they can easily be avoided and/or abused at the same time by both parties. There is no substance in wardecs like you get out of FW. By substance I mean, capture/destroy X = profit or points. Only profit is from loot, tears, or isk via merc contracts. Wardecs need a better prize/motivator.
I'll bet most wardecs go something like this:
Red 1: We just wardec'd another corp. More targets! YARRHHH! Red 2: YAH! Red 3 and up: Alright!! YES!! Awesome!
Blue 1: We got wardec'd. Drop corp or you can just wait it out. Don't undock and give easy kills. Blue 2: We could just create another corp and all join that. Blue 1: good idea.
2 days later: Player 1: Looks like the members of that corp either don't undock, or just dropped corp. No targets. Player 2: BOOO!! Players 3 and up: That sucks! They can't do that!
1 week later: Player 1: Well, that was a waste of isk. Players 2 and up: Agreed.
Some players are dumb, and those are the ones that get gut punched when a wardec comes around. I say to those people, "Welcome to EVE! Hope you just learned something!"

Something you hear a lot in EVE. 'Working as intended'. It should be 'broken as intended'.
Meta is the answer to your question, has been for 12 years. If you can get 50 people, 100 people together you have 'won EVE'. The key is to not have them in the same corp. Just have them in a same channel. Your corps and alliances need to be unwritten until you are in such a place that you can fight back. It's about convincing those people to let go of the broken mechanics like corp. All those one man alliances you see. You think they are truly all alone? They never talk in local and you know their corp channel is dead. Player channels that don't assign them bulls eyes for gankers allow them to operate just as effective as the gank worthy targets without all the hassle. |

What is up with you and mouths? Ive never been war dec'd due to smarting off. I have always been war dec'd because mercs will see 30 of my members in a system and think "kms". I have told you this 2wice, and you are being arrogant and rude.

No, they are hate-baiting you into responses so you slowly go nuts.
I suggest stopping, because you can not possibly handle so many people at once.
Constantly reading and replying. Reading and replying. And time pressure, of course. More reading. More replies.
The brain isn't made for that.
I certainly will abandon this thread now ... ... because I can't possibly support these selfish haters.
Too bad for the thread, it went into the right direction.

But wouldn't fix anything at all. First off, many people have multiple accounts. I could just post with the account iike most, still hiding my main.
Or say I was a major Indy player. I want to try PvP and buy a character with more skill points. I would be forced to use the new character.
Or heck, I could alternate training on two characters and who I post as on the forums would change each week. |

Here is my tldr: A pvp alliance can war dec just about everyone, at once, for an unlimited amount of time because the costs are so low. Raise the costs.
Welcome back to the sandbox. As someone who has been a defender and now an aggressor in highsec wars, I can relate to both sides of the argument.
I have a lot to say on the matter but unfortunately I got to go. I do have a question though.
Why were you wardeced? Who were you wardeced by? And did you talk to them about surrender?
I've seen wars last less than 15 minutes because the corp contacted said mercs and worked out a deal. I am not saying bend over and take it while handing over all your ISK but you would be surprised how fair some of the merc alliance CEOs are.
Don't talk ****, just convo them and plea you case. In a game centered around politics and social interaction, people forget to simply talk things over.

Ding.
Calling the OP an unmitigated liar, as anybody that is too gutless to post with their main has obviously done nothing of note.
Also, OP, wardecs ARE broken. The reason the mercs have all formed large (relatively) alliances (Marmite, Forsaken, etc) is that the wardec costs are so hi now, small merc/pirate corps simpy aren't viable.
And it doesn't help that dec evasion is now blessed by CCP , instead of being a bannable offense, like it used to be.
So have CCP raise wardec prices again. Watch even more hisec pvpers jump into the large merc alliances.
Also, OP, what stopped your no-doubt highly profitable mining/indy corp from hiring a big merc alliance to defend you, eh?
Hmmm?
Ally mechanics mean they don't have to do an outbound wardec, and its usually cheaper to hire them as allies, last time I checked.
...........
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Everything in EVE is a trap.
And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

You shouldn't think about it in terms of buffs and nerfs. You should think about it in terms of making highsec not suck **** for everyone involved. The current situation with massive, extremely powerful wardec entities and other groups just being totally defenseless and incredibly passive isn't fun for anyone.
It's not fun for the carebears who feel like they can't win a fight because numbers, it's not fun for the aggressors who don't get a fight and it's not fun for the random person flying through space who doesn't see any interesting things happening in the space he's passing through.
What we should all want as players is for the mechanics to be good, not for them to benefit our personal playstyle. Right now the ally system massively benefits me and people like me, but it's hugely damaging to the general accessibility of wars to the general populace, subsequently I think it needs to be changed. Reducing the cost of wars, specifically for corporations against other corporations (vice against or between alliances) wouldn't benefit me at all, but it would allow for smaller groups to exist again and subsequently give carebears a better chance to effectively defend themselves.
The carebear approach to proposing war changes is inherently to make them more expensive and more difficult to execute, that will only widen the gap between the aggressors and defenders and make the current issues more extreme. |

Quoting for truth. Current mechanics suck, there needs to be some incentive for the defender to WANT to fight. Currently it is far easier to drop a corp and create a new one than actually fighting. |

My thoughts on the matter are as follows:
First, severe nerfs to NPC corps. Only player corps should be capable of using L4 mission agents and receive LP from Incursions, and NPC corp players older than 90 days have an additional 10% tax on top of normal.
If being in a player corp is the optimal choice for generating personal income, then being in a corp becomes something worth fighting for. That will never happen so long as NPC corps have so few functional penalties/limitations. Doing this also takes a step towards rebalancing risk vs reward, since NPC corps give up almost nothing in exchange for a huge buff to safety.
Secondly, the dec dodge exploit must be either removed or harshly punished. There are a number of ways this can be done, and I personally favor the generation of killrights against a player who drops to an NPC corp during an active war(or anyone who rejoins a player corp within 72 hours after having dropped, perhaps). Regardless, the ability to fold a corp and make it over again in a matter of minutes must be removed. Therefore, corp creation price should increase, and possibly have a cooldown associated with specific characters creating a corporation after having left one. Furthermore, any corp that dissolves during an active war has it's name and corp ticker suspended, and given to the attacking corp as a trophy.
Thirdly, player corps would receive the ability to improve mission LP rewards in a specific consellation via a starbase module. Only one can exist per constellation, so if you want the bonus you have to destroy the starbase of the current owner. The map would show which corp controlls the module, and what system it is located in. This incentivizes PvE corps to fight amongst themselves for better territory, as well as give player corps reasons to have assets in space for reasons besides industry and manufacturing.
To summarize:
Only player corps can access L4 missions or receive LP from incursions. NPC corp taxes are raised +10% for players over 90 days old. Killrights generated against dec dodging. Corps that dissolve during an active war have their names and ticker lost, given to the attacker as a trophy. Corp creation price increase. Corp creation cooldown after leaving a player corp. Highsec ESS as a starbase module, one per constellation. Boosts LP given from mission rewards to corp members.
And then, player corps are worth fighting for. The defender has a stake in the game, the rewards that come with being in a player corp. The typical highsec corps also have a reason to fight one another, for control of the constellation.

The industrialists gain the benefit of protection (and I'm talking real protection, as in "wait a second, did these guys just put a dozen Vindicators on the field? I thought we were going to kill Retrievers?"), and the pvpers get the benefit of cheaper stuff, and maybe having someone else cover their war fees for a change.
And that last part I typed there? It's important. The trick to retaining these pvpers isn't just helping them out financially, but actually allowing them to operate how they want, under their own rules. Then they can go out and do the same pvp they would have done on their own, while the industrialists do their own thing. No one has to bleed their eyes out watching miners mine for twelve. Meanwhile, the non-rubbish killboard stats show everyone that you're a hard target, and no one ever dares to **** with you. But all the time they are away doing their PvP, war targets get to roam free stomping all over your PvE players. That's no different to how right now you can hire mercs who will sometimes be there, which is pretty much useless in most cases. AS for them being scared off, these big wardec alliance attack each other, pure PvP focused corps. they also attack groups like RvB, a PvP focused group with thousands of players. I don't think most of them would be scared off because your players also kill stuff. If anything it's a jackpot. they get both carebears and gudfites in the same dec fee! You have no clue what you're talking about. Zero. It's all conjecture about various playstyles with which you have no experience, and an inherent unfamiliarity. And until you do acquire this experience and familiarity, this stuff you say amounts to nothing more than sensationalist panic-mongering.

As someone who has ran/currently is running multiple high-sec piracy/mercenary corporations, I haven't had any problem with incoming war declarations, even in the very, very rare instances in which we actually received them.
Why do you think this is?
Because those that war dec only want to shoot at miners? And not engage in actual pvp? My point isnt that an industrial corp shouldnt be war dec'd at all. But currently the ability for 300+ people to war dec AT ONCE and PERMANENTLY does seem right. How is a corp supposed to grow to a point where it can defend itself? That's very easy to answer: by not presenting itself as a target.
Perform a little experiment, if you can. Start up two new corporations. In the first one, recruit as quickly as possible (take everyone with a pulse who's willing to fit a strip miner), advertise yourself plainly, and stick to a strict regimen of pve activities. In the second one, recruit slower and make sure to do proper background checks, don't advertise yourself as a purely industrial corporation, and finally, initiate two three outgoing wars when you start up, and then one or two every month or so.
Then tell us all which of the two corporations gets swarmed with war declarations.
I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:
