My alt corp has just had three weeks of war during which we lost more new members to the fact that they had nothing to do for a week but sit in dock. Now five days later we have yet another war dec by a one-man jita war dec corp who will cause the same problem. We've been at war with him before. Tons of RR alts. If we don't go to Jita he will catch one of our newbies who has undocked to mine in the middle of a war dec, or someone else who gets careless.
The new war dec rules are not going to change this in essence though they will help us make this kind of corp pay more. Continual wars have ruined our ability to recruit new players and keep them in the game. The myth that the new player can fit a warp scrambler onto a rifter and be of any help in a fleet is just that, a myth. Combat in Eve evolved beyond that a long time ago.
If we go to fight this guy he will dock up if our fleet is big enough to kill him. If we fight him in small groups his RR alts will enable him to kill us.
I don't have any problem with war decs in general but there should be a limit as to how many of these nuisance decs a corp should have to endure. How are we supposed to grow new players if all we can tell them is go away and do something else for a week?
Do wars have to last for a week?
Can't a corp that has already had a certain number of weeks of war get an equal amount of relief from new war decs?
Isn't there something that can be done to keep the war dec mechanic but make it livable for corps that try to attract and retain new players?:
you cannot create a successful corporation without building in an ability to defend yourselves. period. That's eve.
You can recruit and train a defense. You can hire mercs for the defense ( in-game tools for this soon! ), or you can do as you have been, and wait out the war-dec by sitting in station.
If you chose to do the latter, then you really should make sure your folks understand that this was your choice before you recruit them. If you don't, then it's your own fault that they're leaving, and they're not leaving because you're war-decced, they're leaving because you weren't up-front with them as to what would happen when you WERE war-decced.
Re-think your choices, or recruit folks that can live with them.
that's pretty much it. We don't want you to leave eve, but to play eve and enjoy it, you have to be willing to play in the sandbox, and if someone kicks sand in your face, you either have to be prepared to kick back, or be happy with hiding for awhile.
