How I used to run wars? Wardec the three biggest alliances except goons, usually Russians, camp a trade hub and put eye's on incoming trade routes. We used to get kills every day, that was in AUTZ, AND it was affordable/sustainable.
Now it costs me 700mil to wardec two alliances and I have had nothing in 3 days. 20 wartargets in Jita used to be a quiet day. Now we're lucky to see anything.
Do you know why? CCP wanted to **** the game again. Any rich IRL person can sell heaps of plex, or however you get your isk, and wardec EVERYTHING. Every single alliance worth deccing is permenantly decced by code, vendetta, marmite, pirat, complaints, others... vendetta has 147 active wars when I last looked.... how do you even afford that? That's gonna cost about 30bil a week (rough estimate). That actually equals to more AUD I get per week IRL. You're nowhere near making that isk from loot drops because your targets don't go to high sec anymore.
Simple rule of the universe. When everyone starts fishing in the same pond, soon there will be no fish left for anyone. So what's the point anymore, to you who I mentioned above, if you think you're having fun you're lying to yourself
..........................
Wardeccing smaller UNdecced corps. The only real way to do this was to ad them all to watchlist, run locates when they were online and run them down with your alt. Can't do that anymore, regards; new watchlist changes.
..........................
So the only way to really benefit from wars anymore is wardec everything and make sure you're in the alliance who has the most decs, be online all the time and have no real life.
How do you afford this? Buy plex.
Who profits? CCP.
Anyone see what I'm getting at here? |

Code/marmite and co are paid to wardec alliances by people who want to keep there identity hidden.

I don't see the issue with the cost associated with having plenty of easy targets. If it is too much for you then consider joining up with other wardeccers or getting your ass out of Jita and go roaming in lowsec or nullsec where you don't have to pay anything.

Please re-read, i was agreeing with you. I too engage only in boring risk free pvp against targets that have no offensive modules fitted. |

I too, relish the challenge of hunting furiously for flashy red things on my overview as my HG slaved insta-loki hovers within the docking ring, cheered on by my guardian/nestor alts staring hopefully out the station windows and my brick tanked command ship booster relaxing at a safe, polishing his NPC corp tag. |

Theres a few options that come to mind.
Try to find a few other people who are looking for the same thing and split the war dec fee. 700 split between 5-6 ppl isn't to bad. Pick a null sec alliance that lives near hi-sec and camp between there and the closest hub. When its quiet you can scout there null with a alt and go in at get kills where they feel safe.
Or, see if one of the Merc alliance will let you put your corp in and do your own thing.
There is plenty of ways to get intel instead of address book, public channels, putting a alt in the target corp etc.
Don't give up, once you have adapted it will be business as usual. |

this actually made me lol, pretty much this is what wardecs are.... wasn't always like that. and you're right what you said in my other post, i am the worst pirate ever... atleast recently, except im not a pirate.... used to be glory days for me. i've become one of those bitter players who wish everything was like the good ol' days and can't adapt to the new system.
my experience in last few days is wardec two big alliances, find nothing, shoot suspect receive criminal flag and kill right lose ship, kill right activated next day barely survive, kill right activated again later lose ship (still have kill right on me wtf lol so i can just be activated on forever - shoot one guy dont even kill it and everyone can shoot me for a month), laggggg podded lose snakes... because i shot someone with suspect timer.
reactivated a month or two ago, undock looks like some kid scribbled on my overview, oh that's actually ships and im bumped 100km off station?
every ship i have lost recently is due to changes i haven't gotten my head around, like AoE MJD, pilgrim bonus changes (kites pilgrim at 20km suddenly capped out lol), limited engagement weird ass green colour overlaying GCC (is there even such a thing as gcc anymore?), so looks like guy shooting me cannot be engaged without receiving sentry fire so im left sitting there being like wtf am i supposed to do, what is these green **** on my overview... i guess im just too old and stubborn now... i still dont understand the new flagging system solid green, flashing green skull, flashing yellow skull, solid yellow skull, solid red, flashing almost red, red skull, flashing red skull limted timer suspect timer criminal timer shooting at a pod but not killing it gives same sec hit as killing on and a criminal timer but blowing up a ship only gives suspect timer... in low sec.... but shooting at a suspect in HIGH sec without killing them gives you a criminal timer and kill rights. maybe, just MAYBE im a ******.... or maybe this **** is overly complicated and ******* confusing... how are new players supposed to even figure this **** out?

Go to Sujarento and I guarantee you'll become content. Around Downtime you say? Excellent......
I'm sure between RDRAW and the various Tama Locals you'll find someone to shoot at and get shot by.
I hope, for your sake, you know how to get your pod out. I'd strongly suggest flying a deadhead clone until you have a bunch of tactical bookmarks around the gates in that area. There's more than a few cloaky smartbombers who WILL nail you if you're so foolish as to warp gate-to-gate in a pod (see also: Santo Trafficante, Piir8 and Jabba UA).

assuming you survive the almost ubiquitous gatecamp coming in from Nourvukaiken....
nah, don't do that! you want fights, we're telling you where to go to find them. be warned, Sujarento is the RDRAW staging system. They have plenty of friends and can reship pretty quickly to come back for another round.
and again: have you been playing since 07 or is that character a recent acquisition?

Why do always have to complain or whine about something? Dude, just go shoot stuff, hell, I will be on tonight, and if the NBN is finally bloody working properly, I will take you on a duo roam, I roam in Battleships, so you should expect to die, but that is the fun part, killing enough of them to make them give up before you pop! |

I played form 2007 - 2014ish and reactivated again a couple months ago. Also reactivated some time 2015 I think but was unplayable (socket closed, didn't know how to change ports). |

Some advice for starting content.
When I do wars these days they tend to be better if they are annoyed before the war goes in. The last good war I had started because I found people trying to kill a hi-sec pos. me and a friend were ninja repping it for a about an hour slowing their progress. They got angry making them want to fight to us and it made for a prity fun war.
For normal roaming pvp i prefer to just attack campers near hisec, I have a baby now and its handy to be able to jump back into hisec fast.
Leave a alt in a few near by null/low entrances that you like. just log them on fast before you log your main on and you have instant intel on a possible fight.
If i remember right you had 2 accounts. with first character roam with a ship that ppl will want to fight, even if its just a buffer tank dessi, then have your other char in the shiny ship you want to fly.
Just get them agro with the dessi and then jump your main in to start the pewpew.
