Dear sirs and madams,
I would like to propose the idea that wars are currently too easy to avoid, especially if you have lots of isk/are happy to buy isk (all be it via GTC's another [issue]?).
Being in a corp which frequently decs large wealthy targets in order to extort cash (this is EVE after all), it is quite common for people to simply setup an alliance in order to make it more expensive to carry on with the war.
Is this not an exploit? Is it intended that the cost of deccing one corp should be 2 mill or 50 mill per week?
While I would not go so far as to suggest that people be banned from joining/setting up alliances while at war there should be some form of balance, one idea being to allow the deccing corp to carry on deccing the alliance at the original corp war cost.

There ya go. Fixed to reflect the majority of war-decs in EvE.

Indeed this behavior does sound like an exploit, and the problem is exacerbated by the fact that establishing an alliance is totally free.

There was an announcement made that stated joining an alliance to dodge the wardec was indeed an exploit.
Don't think it mentioned anything about creating one being an exploit.

I recall that joining an alliance and promptly leaving, thereby foisting the war on the alliance, was declared an exploit. I would imagine that joining an alliance to get more people on your side is a valid tactic.

Doesn't it cost a billion to set up an alliance?

It easy to avoid a war as it is easy to declare one.
Until declaring a war has some real cost (not only in isk, but in work, so playtime lost) avoiding one will stay easy to keep a balance.

Free = 1 billion isk, plus 2 million/month for each corporation, plus the skills.
Nice wallet you must have to consider that "free".

Sure, I would back you, if they removed your ability to dock while be fired on.
The one thing I have no respect for in Eve is low life war dec corps that want nothing more than easy kills on newbs and haulers, and dock/log as soon as a decently sized force comes to play.
