Why are they changing the wardec system in favour of the defenders, when the defenders can already constantly corp hop, turning the system into a eve version of whack a mole in the first place? Or simply hop to an NPC corp and set up a private channel amongst themselves, avoiding the wardec system altogether?
And why say they are interested in shifting the current mechanics of non-consentual pvp in hisec purely towards logistics in the age of jump freighters, cyno alts and jump bridges? These things already allow logistics to be near impossible to disrupt in 0.0, and now they want to make it more difficult in high sec as well?
It's already hard enough to snag any of those ships, since more often than not, they are flown by competent pilots surrounded by other competent pilots with various tools at their disposal that make the prospect of taking them out prohibitively expensive if not impossible. Greyscale states that making supply lines via blanket immunity is undesirable (and is one of the reasons why he isn't in favour of it), well isn't it (in hi sec) nearly invulnerable already?
Really, often only through the use of the current wardec mechanic (which has been deemed pay-to-grief and thus undesirable) and hisec ganking mechanics, are they taken out. Well that and other metagaming tactics such as spies, are you going to find a way to fix that too ?
He also states that by attaching a percieved risk, it (and I'm paraphrasing) allows newer players to acclimate to activities with greater risk later on. Yeah ok. Which is evident in the HORDES of people in lowsec and nullsec right? The people already willing to take the risk are already out there, while the those who aren't willing to take risks are going to be in high sec. And its going to stay that way, short of you implementing something that bypasses the current pvp mechanics altogether like a pvp flag.
So really, how isn't all these changes (and the future changes that we can infer from this) pushing hisec towards blanket immunity from pvp anyway?
