To be clear, no one can join the corp that started the war, any one can join the defender. This way the agressor is less able to manipulate their number downwards to fight smaller corps. With the addition of the suspect flag, hopefully being given to neut RR, this would be helpful.
While this helps plug the hole of corp hoppers and people exploiting the mechanic to get cheap decs, you force many of the merc/dec corps to have a fixed schedule with their decs. Many of us are constantly at war, meaning that we could never recruit, or make "black-out" dates where we cannot provide our services.
Personally, I'm not sure why the dec fee needs to scale in relation to membership in the first place, on top of increasing per dec. But, if CCP is adamant about it, it makes more sense to have a reverse sliding scale with a cap to encourage people to go after medium to large targets, rather than small. Considering that larger entities are more likely able to defend themselves, this should help prevent small groups from being squashed out before they get started. |

Good points, and while I was attempting to find a way to mitigate the issue you brought up, I discovered a very good way to get around the entire cost issue anyway, the merc contracts. |

1. EVE University is large. Very large.
2. The University doesn't wardec corps/alliances. They get wardecced.
3. Basing the fee off the target's membership provides a financial shield to the University.
4. CCP persists with the idea that player retention has been best achieved through EVE University.
Small corps? Mid-sized corps? The only corp that needs protecting in highsec is EVE University.
You can call all of that a tinfoil hat statement if you want. But E-Uni has been screaming for wardec changes for years because it affects their mission statement. Hilmar has agreed with them. It's not surprising that when you break down the new wardec mechanics, the one highsec alliance it benefits the completely is EVE University.
I doubt you'll see Kelduum Revaan (new CSM member and CEO of EVE University) complaining very much about the new wardec mechanics. Hans might, but his plate is full with faction warfare. Hopefully Alekseyev has some time for the issue. No one else on the CSM is going to give a ****. The STAIN Travel Bookmark Collection - 451 Bookmarks |

the bigger the alliance is, the more it costs to wardec it?
that's dumb as hell, it should be the other way around - the bigger an alliance is, the more they should be able to fight off some weakass empire scrub griefer gang
lol sorry billy, Eve-Uni has too many members but can't be bothered to fight back - your 10 man newbie corp is going to be the most cost-effective target for the pvp bottomfeeders of EVE. |

Yea, somehow I see eve players figuring a way to make this become a problem, although CCP did say that they would find a fix for such things... this one could be hard. Save the Miners! |
