I guess I'm kind of confused why people who are being dec'ed would care abut the watchlist changes? Most of the war deccing mercs are so large that there will always be at least one of them online and there are some pretty obvious systems that should just be avoided during a war. I feel like if someone is hunting you it's best to just assume they're coming after you at all times and be ready. Sure it would make it harder to go AFTER an individual when you don't know if they're online or not but maybe it's an opportunity for you guys to charge more to find them ;)

Pretty much this
If you know your target there are certain players you would watch out for/keep an eye on.
If you didn't do this then you could be in for a nasty surprise when you lest expected it.
Don't confuse kindness with weakness.

There aren't that many major merc groups. There are a lot more small corporations like mine where a handful of people wardec corporations for fun or profit. Those guys can definitely be tracked via watch list and are also a lot more likely to actively hunt rather than camping gates and stations.
As is typical, the small operators of Eve get screwed because "this doesn't affect the big guys".

Big alliances don't really care since they always have 100+ wars. But for the smaller corp which hunts 2-3 corps, it just made their game nigh impossible. They're going to spend way more time looking for an offline dude than they would otherwise.

If you are an active hunter (as in: Specifically Hunt My Damn Contract Targets) you are kinda screwed.

I actually do like losing the ability to ABUSE the watchlist. Before using the watchlist to keep an eye on who was, or was not, online I used to actually go out and hunt targets ... and now it feels good to be forced back into actually playing the game rather than sitting somewhere waiting for that "DING" sound.
Sitting around waiting makes one lazy, and I became a lazy player. Now I feel like I am back in the game.
... as much as I was like, I am now like ...
Thanks CCP ... I think this was a great move in the right direction!!!! |

Guys, when you consider the fact that your little corporations and wars don't sink nearly as much into this game as super owners and their ilk, are you really that surprised that this was implemented?
You don't have anyone's ear and the vast majority of you are practically peasants compared to most super owners. None of you are ambassadors for the game. You have no CSM representatives.

For the case of fleet fights and against other mercs, I would agree.
But from a business perspective CCP just took away my livelyhood. As a small(ish) highsec merc group that has specialized in hunting their contract target. Some of you will say "Good riddance" but do you really want yet another group in highsec blanket deccing everyone, just to be able to sit on gates and hubs and pick off people who does'nt know better then to stay away from hotspots? Thats the reality of it, we will adapt, dec more and become something we have worked very hard not to become. If we get another reasonable way to differentiate between logged off and online players we might be able to salvage the art of hunting the targets we are paid to kill.
Most of Devils employers are/was looking for someone who would actually move out of the hotspots and kill them where they hide. We will still try our best to still be able to hunt our contract targets, but I fear this will burn out my guys rather fast. Empire is kinda big you now..

It would have been at least a mild improvement to be able to watch a target you had killrights on. And transferable KR make that notion even more viable. (and just imagine the "Killright Fu" and the cost involved if everybody who had killrights on a player could watch them)
