This thread sucks.
War. War never changes...
Wait.. no thats another game...
Anyhow... War... is not supposed to be a consensual edict. A declaration of war from one entity unto another does not require the approval of said other entity.
Are war decs in EVE broken? Yes. But not because of the point mentioned above. They are broken because at present, there is no penalty for dodging, and no incentive for the defenders. Not all highsec wars are based on the "clay pigeon" theory (which is true, but not relevant). I have seen carebear corps dec each other for "ownership" of mineral fields, POCOS or moons...
What confuses me the most about the topic is that the belief, as a member of a carebear corp, that you have no options. This is wholly untrue. I present you:
Step one: Join a corp as a new player. Make sure the CEO of that corp is a loudmouth self-important type. Step two: Have that CEO come to C&P and **** off Vimsy, talking about how regret this and yada yada that.... Step 3: After you get blapped in some of the absolute most tear inducing fits you can muster up, MOVE TO LOWSEC and learn how to PVP.
Why? Why move? Well because MOST merc corps are too invested in their killboards to risk venturing out of highsec. Make friends. Join FW. Come to terms with the fact that losing ships is part of EVE, and can even be FUN. Of course, some will. But they arent just fighting you out there. If your mission running op gets probed down (you are an idiot) by the war deccers, do you think they are bringing T3 bling? Not if they are smart. Why? Because other interested parties would MUCH rather blap a few Legions or Prots than a Moa running level 3's.
Other options would be to join up with others who share your outlook of the game. Who dont wish to fight, but CAN if able. With enough numbers (and some falcon pilots), you can operate in relative safety safety in lowsec.... mining, running missions, whatever your taste may be.
The point is, that in order to function, you need friends. Those friends provide you security. They provide content. And FUN. Dont expect the majority of the game to be forced to change because YOU want to mine in peace. Its EVE. Its not suppose to be that way.
