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.

Thats where you are wrong, also you will find griffins screw neutral rr right over.

Easiest way to avoid wardecs is to move out of hisec.

I am perfectly aware that non-consensual pvp is part of the game, but I am sick and tired of the fact that there is never any real relief from it. 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?:

To the OP, how many wardecs do you have now? (No, not my alliance, we don't play in hi sec.)

Lets all hold hands and cry about it.

Bawls, hands Dark Assassin a handkerchief.

Thats where you are wrong, also you will find griffins screw neutral rr right over.

Bait him to a belt, then get point, scram, web and tons of ewar on him and kill him with noobships.

The more noobships on the killmail the better, a single blackbird and a dedicated tackler is all you need.

War should end the next week

The Velator can carry drones. With enough velators anything dies.

The minute he gets online (hint: watchlist), find out where he is (hint: locator agent), and get cloaked eyes on him. Keep your corporation informed of his moves. If he gets inside 2 jumps of anyone, they either lock up or move away. He'll get bored and dec someone who does not yet have a clue pretty fast. When you do not have eyes on him, have everyone watch local, and stay docked if he is in system and report any sightings.
