Im waiting for the privateers to find something they are good at.Mining,maybe 2 of 10 plexes,anything cus they pvp like dodo.
I've just taken a look at your stats thanks to the link in your signature.
Quite frankly I don't think someone who thinks camping the PF- gates all day is the be all and end all of "PvP" is in a position to be giving advice. Thank you anyway.
Infact, I think you've bellowed yourself out and I mean RIGHT OUT!

As a recent user of the Privateers special abilities, I can confirm the nerf has done little to stop their evil doings. As memory serves me right, they had 19 active war decs a few days ago...
I was being harassed by a local gang and they delat with it for the price of the war dec only! Others wanted several 100 million...pft
Privateers didn't have 19 wars, we have an average of 4-6 per week. We get more when:
- Special occassions, when people donate substantial amounts of cash for more wars - this can take it upto Ten
- An alliance falls apart coincidentally while we're at war with them. The corps that leave have a process of 24hrs where we have an active war with their corp(s)
- When corps or alliances decide for whatever reason to wardec Privateers instead of the other way around
While an alliance did apparently disintegrate last week, the leaving corps didn't amount to anywhere near 19.
Hope this clears things up,

Meaning no disrespect to Thunk....but i think your claim to only 4-5 decs per week is a bit understated.
I am looking ingame right now and you have 16 active wars going on....and I am certain that you had 19 a week ago because I had to wait until you cycled new ones before I could pay Privateers for the one I needed.
Right now Privateers are fighting.....
Modro
Frontier Trading and Co Alliance
Venom Alliance
Goonswarm
Razor Alliance
Knights of Syndicate
Sirrius Cybernetics
R.E.P.O.
United Forces
Unholy Foundation
Legitimate Businessmens Social Club
Collective Construction INC
Black Lion Legion
Knights of the Southercross
Thanos and Killjoy Productions
and you have been dec'd by Perfect Production Inc
that is quite the list for those suffering from a nerf...
Dont get me wrong...i commend you guys. I will be using you in the near future.
We war dec'd this week:
Repo
Goonswarm
Venom
Razor
Frontier Trading (nice Danish guys btw)
KOS
KOS2
that's 7 - as you pointed out some corp war dec'd us and the rest of your list are the fragments of a disintegrating alliance (nothing to do with us, we were all in Jita at the time)
We paid for 7 war decs this week, that's all we could afford before the crazy calculations CCP use made any more out of our reach.
So the nerf is working just fine, it doesn't need strengthening (I assume if CCP were to nerf it anymore we'd all have to pass lie detector tests after promising not to shoot anyone inside the sanctity of Empire before logging in)

Privateers is still going remarkably strong despite CCP's efforts to kill any possible fun. With 5-6 war decs a week and plenty of action to go around, I would still recommend the alliance to any pvper.
I disagree. It may appear at first glance that there may have been some kind of a resurgence and a few of the older names have returned, but they're inactive and are simply sitting in the alliance as a form of retirement while they're playing other games. They may or may not return to Eve.
There is absolutely no need at all for CCP to revisit the Privateer nerf and check to see if there's anymore they can do.
