Easy fix, make war declaration a per-player flag.
A: Your corp gets war-decced by another corp. Immediately all members of your corp and theirs are flagged, individually, as being at war.
B: One of your corpies jumps to escape the war... no such luck, he still has the war flag for the duration of this war cycle (1 week), no matter where he goes or what corp he joins (this flag does not transfer to the new corp).
C: An unknown joins the corp that's at war with you is flagged as thus, and this flag remains with that individual even if they jump corp (as stated with B) for the remaining duration of the current war cycle.
This fixes many warfare loopholes.
THIS is a fantastic idea. OP idea supported, and props given to Mister Xerox for a nice addendum.

This issue is such a no-brainer that I am surprised the OP had to even ask for support. This tactic is practically THE text-book example of a clear-cut exploit.

The sad part is that now that this has been brought to into the light you will see this used like mad until CCP officially announces it as an exploit or resolves the issue.
A happy gamer isnt on the forums, they are playing the game unless they have an idea that they honestly think is helping out. |

Should have to stay in a corp for atleast 24 hours imo, except maybe npc corps.

I completely agree, I wasn't online for the war, but from what i've heard its a total exploit, and rediculous.

The suggestion of a per player war flag, perhaps as kills rights during a war, sounds like a pretty good solution to the situation. That way, you get to streamline the application process, allow for quick transfer of players from corp to corp, AND solve this issue with warring exploits.
That being said, I completely support the cause.

Got it. Add a step to the application process that forces pilots to be docked up to join a corporation:
1) pilots applies
2) CEO or director accepts application and sends offer
3) Pilot docks in a station and accepts offer, immediately joining corporation
I always wondered why this wasn't the process. It also allows pilots to send out multiple applications, wait a week, then pick the corporation they like best.
This is what I would like to see. The problem with this "exploit" is the complete surprise attack that can happen when an application is accepted and the guy next to you can become a war target at the time of his choosing.
Having to dock to accept the employment offer would definately fix this.

I agree this is an exploit.
If you choose to join a corp that is in a war you should be made to stay in that corp till war is over period. |

Yes, it's much easier than changing an entire mechanic or warfare. It used to be implemented, so just put it back.

Support, as this is an obvious exploit. But honestly, the whole war mechanic itself needs to be looked at. It's completely broken and doesn't at all serve any purpose anymore, and is basically only used for griefing.
Wars should be between corps and/or alliances, have a beginning, a goal, and an end. For example, if you wardec a 0.0 alliance, you should have to show your face in their space once in awhile if you want to maintain the war, instead of sitting in empire like a coward.

All though this subject was covered two days earlier>
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=833233
This thread is getting more attention, so I will post here in agreement that this is an exploit and needs to be fixed.
The 24 hour waiting time for joining and leaving a corp gets my vote. This will prevent quick easy kills and the quick kill avoiding that is going on. |

 This fix is way way ez.
 Simply make so u can't be fully accepted until your docked.
 The accepting corp could "accept" your application but it won't go into effect until you dock.
 Problem solved.

WHichever Gm you talked to must have been daft.
Leaving a corp to avoid wardec and rejoining later is a bannable offense, and thats clearly what he's doing.

i agree with the thread title, i didn't read the text 
even if they can leave the corp, but remain a target until the wardec is over, i don't see a problem with that.

I totally agree with this. I mean, I have switched out of a warring corp myself due to logistics, or diplomatic reasons regarding the main corp, but using it as war tactics to evade, and counter is an exploit.

This is a bit too drastic, seeing as the same mechanic works for corps leaving alainces at war, where they engage a 24 hour end period during which they are still at war. This could be implemented towards characters doing so. it would be, as with corps, a "surrendering act by the player"

This is using game mechanics in a way that is not intended.
This is an exploit.
Agreed. Ask to get this bumped to a senior GM as the GM you've been in contact with is incorrect. This is an exploit by the very definition of the word that CCP uses.
