You do know you can still have all your 200+ wars, right? It will just cost a load more isk to keep them going. Your wars haven't been taken away from you, it's just that you don't want to pay the price now required.
I'll assume you're not trying to insult my or anyother players intelligence here, and I'll give you an example similar to this and ask if you think it's fair.
Imagine that you and your friends enjoy going to the pub/bar every sturday night for a drink, because you find it fun. However people living close by are kept awake by the noise and complain. Also local offlicences are part owned by council members. So the local council increases the price of all alchohol served in pubs/bars. Each drink you buy doubles in price. So whereas 3 pints cost say 9 isk before, they now cost 21 isk and you can only afford 9 isk.
Now you and your friends complain to the council and goverment saying it's not fair that we can't relax and have fun drinking beer anymore. The council say "Hey your beer hasn't been taken away from you! You just don't want to pay the price required!"
Now is that fair? The only difference is I invested two years of time and money into EVE, and no-one is late for work because I gank a ship or two in high sec! But Yeah I'm sure any carebear would consider your changes fair and impartial.
Good analogy but it doesnt fit in this case. A beer (as wonderful as it is) is inanimate and is not the same level of existance as you. Someone could read what you said as "Other players are beer, they are lesser than me and I would like to pay a small fee to consume them as I wish". Heres my analogy where both sides are equal... or rather, human.
Your targets are like the security forces in Iraq. Their job is to patrol, stay peaceful if possible and just get on with their job. They are generally alone and more or less unaware of possible threats. You are the insurgents, who dont really do a job but instead wait to cause havoc and basically terrorise (obviously Im aware you dont do it out of hate, its for fun since this is a game).
Patrol pulls up to gate, slows down to go through... IED (Improvised explosive device for those that dont know) set by insurgents goes off. Patrol neutralised. You cheer and jest at your success. Thats my analogy of your gate camp.
This is a harsh description, and its rightfully so to get the point across. Whats scary is that it fits rather well.
Im not trying to insult you or to get a response but you dont see from our perspective on this matter. Try to open your mind a little to the situation.
