1) Drop Corp/Quit EVE for a week. Sometimes both.
2) Immediately ask how much it costs to surrender?!?
3) Hire one of the hub camping corps to literally do nothing other than add another war they won't do anything with - then do #1
So...What happened?!? What was the straw that finally broke the back of all Carebears everywhere?
New players have more isk thrown at them than they know what to do with - and half of them buy plex/sp as well (I've seen the faction fit battleships running L1-3 missions to prove it) - but they can't afford a few cheap suicide ships anymore? They've decided that whining/crying is more fun than going out and trying to get a kill?
Corps with all the resources at their disposal to, if not WIN their wars, at least make a good showing of themselves and win the isk war - instead choose to just roll over and DIE because "PvP is scary" or "its a TRAP".....

This brings in another issue in that Killboards are such a thing now (maybe they always were?) but when a corp is wardecced, their hope is to give no kills to the aggresing corp so as to show "no profit here, move on" and not have the dec extended, not only that, but showing corp losses in a dec will just attract other merc corps to follow suit for their share and since there is no limit on the number of dec a corp can initiate, the afore mentioned concerns are valid and in some ways game breaking for those trying to work their way up in the galaxy.
This pretty much answers Dirty Forum Alt's question except for a couple other points that I'll add :
Many players in High Sec join this game to do PvE content and don't want to engage in PvP content.
Game mechanics have been changed so much that it creates a no win situation for small Corps to engage in WarDec.
If player Corps want WarDec content, then should go where it's available and do it with Low / Null Sec / W-Hole Corps.
Bottom line :
Dirty Forum Alt constantly throws the term 'Carebear' around in these forums quite a bit, trying to insult and demean players in High Sec who don't want to do PvP content yet Dirty Forum Alt is probably the biggest damn Carebear of all. Instead of going to where there's definitely PvP content available, Dirty Forum Alt insists on staying in High Sec wanting to WarDec small Industrial Corps.

In answer to that question : CCP killed casual PvP. They added new game mechanics and changed existing game mechanics as well as created and added various items to the game that not only caters to griefers, but also enhances their gameplay activities.
For example the Dueling game mechanic - CCP could have easily programmed it to be like it was in real life, strictly 1v1 with no outside interference. Also after a weapon of choice was selected, the combatants couldn't change it in the middle of the Duel nor could they run and hide (ship change / station dock).
Anyway, there is no way to bring back casual PvP, not with the mind set CCP currently has. The dye is cast. And people wonder why the player base log in numbers are getting smaller all the time.
