Please increase the wardec prices, picture below is an example why it should be increased.
http://i.imgur.com/Q8FQyVn.png?
1 alliance can pay around 5 bil to wardec 97 corporations and get easy kills by camping gates and stations in high sec.
How is this a problem?
Here are a few examples to show why this is a problem:
1. These corporations are able to shoot alot of people in highsec without concord going against them.
2. Trial players get caught in the crossfire when they join a corp that is wardecced by one of these wardec alliances and they cant move around highsec freely anymore which ruins their EVE experience.
3. Industrial corporations that are there for industry and have no interest in PVP can fall apart from a single wardec.
How this can be fixed
Raise wardec prices to at least 500 mil. Serves as an isk sink since these guys are still going to wardec Makes it harder for them to wardec just to make their killboard look good. |

If you make the wardecs cost more, the wardeccers will band together so they can reduce their cost. It's exactly what happened the last time they were increased. When they band together, it's even worse for the target as they have even more people who want to shoot them than if they had gotten declared on by only 1 corp/alliance instead of the new mega alliance those cost increase would bring. |

give mercs tools to do focused wars again currently the mechanics facilitate mass decking and hub camping, its the only reliable way to find targets price isnt an issue , if they can maintain 100(ish) wars constantly at the current cost they will do so at a higher one. i know these people , i have flown with some of them , the problem is not one of cost.
if you want to fix this something like locator agents no longer running on offline players is the way to go about it. we had our content gutted , this is what most have been left with. we told ye that exactly this would happen if there were no surrounding balance regarding tracking and locating players when the watch-list went away.

OP, you can only have your wardec fee increases if (and only if) there is a 5000% Environmental Protection Tax on the sale of mining lasers and the use of industrial facilities. This is obviously the correct thing to do as the environment cannot fight back against the hordes of rapacious miners and industrialists.
Protect the environment!

1) precisely the point
2) extremely bad form recruiting trial players under wardec if you cant either protect them or facilitate them doing so themselvs
3) and ...

This.
I also believed there would be mass wardecs when my beloved watchlist was removed for nefarious reasons. I had to retire from what I loved doing (solo highsec wardecs) and a couple of corporations have fallen after I fought them. There were many, many corps I fought that had newbies in it, and their CEO/leaders not informing them of the wardec was not my fault at all.
In one instance, it was 12 minutes before the start of a wardec and I noticed a newbie mining in a Venture in a system that I knew the corporation I wardecced flew around. I actually had this corporation set to red for a week, watching them and seeing patterns before I set the wardec on them. I flew and got my Hound, flew back into system, cloaked up and sat 6km off of her while she mined. At 4 minutes to go, the asteroid popped and I feared she would run, but she still sat there.
She was scrammed and first salvo of missiles left my Hound's torpedo bay seven seconds after the start of the war. Both her Venture and her pod popped in explosive goodness within 15 seconds of the war starting. During that war, I popped several newbies, following their deaths with an email asking if they were told they were at war and what kind of preparation they were given by their CEOs.
Each one responded saying they had no clue what was going on and the CEO of that corporation was still recruiting while the war was going on. Everyone talks about new player retention, but I believe that every one of those newbies that I have killed and then educated on how to protect themselves during a war is still playing to this day.
This would cure me of the fear...

This is a pvp game. For pvp'ing. Yes even for industrial corps. Don't want to be wardecced? Don't be in a player corp. (implement social corps already)
As people are hinting at, one big problem with the npe is corps lead by complete ******* morons, with no intention or capability of teaching new players how to play/survive, spamming invites to new players to skim corp tax off them. In the good old days these corps were decced or awoxed before they could suck in too many noobs.
Fun fact; shortly after decs were last made more expensive eve started seeing falls in subscription. Before that, subscriptions grew every year.

The only thing that'll achieve is the smaller wardec groups joining together to share resources, intel and the costs of waging war. This exact scenario happened in the past, and it'll happen again if CCP raise the costs of a wardec further; the people that'll feel the brunt of such a change are the people you claim to want to protect.
Civilized behaviour is knowing that violence is barbaric, but paying other people to do it is business.

as some one who trains CEOs this one bugs me
no matter how well equipped you are new players are going to die in a war dec if you live in HS unless you restrict their gameplay to a point that they quit because its no fun. This is because no matter how well you try to explain to a newbro how to act in a war they don't understand untill they get hit a few times.
now i don't agree this ruins the eve experience if anything it gives them a fuller eve experience but don't go around blaming leadership for something that is an unavoidable game-play mechanic.

not sure that's the best option as it wont help the ones getting spammed with invites by corps that are just trying to skim taxs off them.They will just tell the new player it's nothing to worry about and lie if they have to. But it may hurt the ones who are honest with new players.
either way war decs are good for newbros i have found it reinvigorates interest rather than drives them away. i have seen very few quit because of it but i have seen plenty who were getting tired of mining and mission running get pushed into pvp and break out of their comfort zone. the ones who cant stand it and get turned off by it genneraly drop corp not the game

Not just trial players. But if you look at corporation recruitment ads it already tells you when they are under a wardec. Though i wonder how many new players understand what that actually means.

Before a response to a few things how about NO. War dec groups will spend billions of ISK every week do you really think that raising the cost will make any difference?
Off to some responses to some other posts.
Daichi Yamato wrote:Fun fact; shortly after decs were last made more expensive eve started seeing falls in subscription. Before that, subscriptions grew every year. Far to many changes made in the game at the same time to draw this conclusion. Was it the war dec changes that caused players to quit? Or was it some of the other changes implemented at the same time? Maybe it was a combination of people leaving for all of these reasons? My opinion is that it was a combination of all of the changes that occurred that drove all those people out. And here is the important part, I have no hard data to prove my opinion and you have no hard data to prove yours because even if CCP has data on it they have not released it to the public.

The problem will be how to change it so it works better for everyone, especially when those inside the war dec community community cannot make up their minds what if any thing at all needs to change. Broken or not, there is a fundamental issue at play here:
Industrialists and self-described PvE players want more protections and/or structure to warfare (to make it more "fair") along with ways to end a war early and outright. Aggressive corporations/alliances want more warfare and ways to wage war (usually without having to go through a tedious timer/SOV-lite system that makes null-sec so soul-crushingly boring).
No matter what changes you make, one of these groups is going to "lose" because the things they want are mutually exclusive.

This is the key point to this whole debate. Every suggestion done is always bad for one side. The argument will never stop unless CCP decide to set it's foot down and make one side inexistant. |

War deck should actually be made cheeper but based on corp/alliance membership of the attacking group. So like 100k per member with a cap of 10 mill and double for every war you start. And it would cost more to attack a defending corp with more war decade attacking them. |

wars currently scale based on the size of the defending corp , ranging from 50 mill to 500 mill per week. why it costs more to attack a larger corp i will never know but it does.

If you were in a larger corp you might better understand
Corp size should not be in the equation. Ramp up the dec fees based on active hostilities. I say hostilities because putting in a war dec OR offering to assist someone should both count equally. So ramp up the fees as the hostile activities goes up. Also, because isk has so little value - put a hard cap on the number of war decs + assists you can have open at any time.
The cap is necessary due to the vast amounts of isk it is possible to have. And then again (see money badger coalition) if there is a good enough reason, then there is enough isk somewhere.
IF the goal is to remove the current practice of player farming and get back to HS warfare actually having meaning, then you have to limit the number of active hostilities. Only by limiting the number of active hostilities will there be any meaning to them. If you don't have to pick and choose your opponents, then no value accompanies executing a war dec / assist. Value/meaning is only relevant when you have to make choices.
This is one of those rare occasions where the old way was better because they had it right the first time. If you've been in Eve since the beginning - you know that the expansion that broke empire warfare also broke a bunch of other stuff. As Eve digs itself out of it's philosophical missteps - I hope they give empire warfare mechanics some good old school love. |

Agreed. In all other games active war means "you may now engage in honorable combat with a worthy opponent" in eve it's more like "Imma gank your ship and take your stuff" which doesn't translate all that well until after it happens to you.
For the most part it's the "AND TAKE YOUR STUFF" part non eve players need to or can't come to terms with. No pop up or red text will be able to bring that home to a new player.
Perhaps and entertaining clip could be played before you can join a player corporation. Something along the lines of the crime watch video they did. Something entertaining that really drives home what joining a corp at war could mean if you're not careful. The Eve experience is pretty good a interrupting you and telling you that you just did what you just did, so why not add some actual utility to the feature....
Ding - you've opened the join player corporation window - here's a few things you'd probably like to know - video starts.
Better than
Ding - achievement unlocked - you've joined a player corporation (which after pushing a discrete sequence of buttons you hopefully already know)
That being said, similar clips could be used to drive home a few of the finer points about things such as suicide ganking, scamming and a few other things that exist in Eve, but not in other games. |

Yeah its way too easy for corps to pic up newbros even after someone has decided they are their new favorite punching bag. Happens all the time where someone with an inflated ego from the amount of "minions" he thinks he has starts mouthing off to serious and capable entities.
We all know that increazing the cost will just make those entities more serious and much bigger and the gulf between them and the averadge corp all the wider.
