What is all this whining about?
It's a problem that outlaw corps had for years and were able to deal with and are still able to deal with. The only difference is that you don't even need to wardec outlaws. And now we have ?? pages of boohoo from militia corps who don't have half the disadvantages but think they have something to cry about.
Don't tell me, it's a completely different thing. FW is actually the same thing as "piracy": You bypass Concord's rules of engagement to get more pewpew, and in return some NPCs get ****ed off at you. It's even the same thing on the "roleplay" level: You mess with a powerful faction of NPCs, and in return they mess with you. It's that simple. Why do you think all those lowsec "pirates" ratted up their standings to join the militias? Because it IS the same thing, except with more targets and less penalties, but still more than no penalties.
And please stop the shit about FW being for "new" or "inexperienced" or "casual" players. When did this first come up? After the release of the expansion, when CCP realized that FW was drawing lots of newbie players into PVP and many older PVPers hated it, they started pretending this was part of the design. And even if it was by design - being a noob or inexperienced is no excuse, because it's not a permanent state (well, it shouldn't be, or you have no one but yourself to blame). Don't even get me started about "casual" players. Most of them are just online game addicts who fail at life and play at night when the wife and kids are sleeping.
Bottom line:
The system is fine the way it is. Apparently, FW is not a completely different ride in this theme park, it's just another game you play in the same sandbox with the same tools and the same people. It adds a new dimension to the PVP system, and when FW and old mechanics such as wardecs come together, things get complex and unpredictable.
Which is the point of playing a game other than Tic Tac Toe, isn't it?
