This system is just unbalanced, and game mechanics based on an unbalanced system can't have any chance to please the majority of players.
Let's get back to some bases about all this
What is an Industrialist corp in high sec ?
It's a legal business
What is an illegal action in empire ?
Shooting a pos, shooting a ship, emptying a can, shooting a pod, etc ...
What is a War in empire ?
An wardec is a "legal" way to make illegal actions in high sec.
What is wrong overall in the system ?
There is no specifications of how you do a legal business in high sec.
If there is a legal way to do illegal actions in high sec, why shouldn't there be an illegal way to do a legal business and a legal way to do legal business ?
You are speaking of commitment, but from now what i see is just a commitment for the industrialist corps that have assets in space to be wardeced by alt corps for 25 bucks a week (the industrialist is engaged up to the amount of money they have in space and the production they can't run anymore while the griefers are commited up to .... 25 millions !).
If the wardeced corp call allies and it becomes too hot for the griefer -> just "forget" to pay the wardec, that was the entire commitment they had to put in this war.
Why shouldn't there be a commitment for industrialist corps in what they do ?
For example choosing an empire to live in and getting protection from it in exchange of duties or taxes ?
The legal way to make a legal business could be the payment of a taxe to the empire the corp lives in or to concord (i think the economist from the state of the economy was looking for some new isk sink) or it could be standing missions for the empire the corp is getting protection from, or whatever requirement / assignement the empire would require in exchange of his protection.
The corps that choose to do legal business in an illegal way just don't care about taxes, assignements, standing or whatever but would be subject to trouble with wardecs. They probably makes more profits, but at the end they take the risk to have their production / supply lines disturbed with player that found out they didn't have any protection from the empire or concord
I can't understand how you can plan to implement a system where anybody can throw out 20 mlillions + 0,5m per char to just p*ss off anybody they want IN A LEGAL WAY ??
Can anybody tell me where is the legal way for industrial corps to p*ss off the griefers for 25 bucks ?
To finish i'll add one thing,
from what i've understood, the goons are going to burn jita in april, while this kind of events are usually entertaining if you're carefull enought to not end up in a pod, those events stays as "illegal" actions that concord deals with.
Why exactly would big alliances like goonswarm have the right to "legally" come and disrupt the heart of high sec at the cost of 25 - 50 bucks a corp ?
