Wardecs weed out corps that don't deserve to exist.
Also corps who take advantage of newbies by charging a tax yet take no steps to provide security, guidance, infrastructure, or access to 0.0
If another corp is wardeccing and the corp has no way of defending itself, the CEO of that corp is the griefer.
In any healthy corp, a wardec is merely a different operational mode.

This especially coming from a smash alliance member
Peoke might be illiterate but at least his corp is good for something other than ripping off newbs.
A corp should provide its members with SOMEthing. Either access to good rocks, or organized gangs to kill other players.
A newb CEO is unable to provide ANY of these things since by definition he is also a newb, hence he is collecting tax and providing nothing in return.

Infact I believe that any CEO of any corp that doesn't provide them acess to one of the top 5 alliances is actually a griefer.
This pretty much limits all newbies to Goonfleet
Nah why would they wanna do that when they can join your corp and mine Veld in exchange for %10.

Talking along those lines... VTIL tells newbies to join a corp that they didn't apply for and maintains a lot of inactive members in the roster deliberately to keep up numbers? Is this griefing? I don't know but it sure as hell is false advertising.
Oh I see now, you washed out of our academy corp.
Bitter much?

Ppl talk about "lets make Eve more like RL."
In RL you have gangs of thugs walking around any major city beating people up or mugging them.
In RL for every 1 intelligent sapient compassionate being there are 10 mouth-breathing tossers.
Go to a soccer game, you see the fans swinging metal chairs at each other.
You like to pretend in Eve oh we're all a bunch of Wall Street analysts in suits. Some of us are. Prolly the same Analyst-to-Thug ratio as in RL, that is there's 1 businessperson to 10 thugs.
Thats why people who work on Wall Street hire mouth-breathers to work security at their buildings for $8 an hour.
Thats the same thing a businessman often has to do in Eve.
Even the local convenience store owner carries a gun, because he got tired of getting robbed.
If I had my way there would be no Wardecs.
Concord would show up 45 minutes after the assault before stopping at Dunkin Donuts to use their buy-1-get-1-free coupon. Then Concord would start a 2 week investigation that would have an 80/20 chance of catching the Perp (%80 chance he would not get caught just like in RL), %40 chance of conviction (with the perp being out on bail), and a 3 year trial that results in the perp getting sent to a facility where he is forced to mine Veld for 6 months to pay for his crime.
If you want RL analogies, shut down your computer and go out on the street and get robbed, see if 50 cops warp to your location in 3 seconds.
