I agree the war dec system has been abused far too much in recent years.
Too many corps and alliance easily able to doge them by joining or leaving an alliance or character avoiding them by joining or leaving a corp.
EvE University being a primary example for some, others being the 1 man corp who war decs a bunch of guys from the same corp mining in a belt and wont let the guy salvage. So he sits nearby and waits till he sees them all log on and positions his guys in the system on an off grid from the belt and has them all apply to his corp and accepts them all and they warp in and kill the guys.
Usage of the system in this manner is what needs to be stopped.
I have many ideas on how this type of thing can be stopped but it is not the main issue atm.
The main issue is how CCP is going to lose alot of money in this change. CCP has always been a bottom line kind of business when it comes to Eve.
CCP ask yourself these very important questions.
When a new player joins eve and finally decides to join a corporation is he going to still be able to join a small group of friends to play the game he wants to play?
Or is he going to have to spend a whole lot of money on GTC's to hire mercs, who are probably working in conjunction with the griefers to extort the money, who may even betray his corp?
Or is he and his friends corp going to have to goto 0.0 space and join an alliance that will grind him and his friends until they no longer have a use for him?
How long do you think it will be before this fresh new player finds out he cannot play the kind of game he wants to play and stops paying for his sub?
Now onto the meat and potatoes of this proposed change.
It has already been said multiple times that this new system favors the strong and ignores the weak.
The community of Eve is not really paying close attention to this war dec system proposal because if they were I would be replying on the 300th page or so of this thread already.
So people stand up and take notice of what CCP proposes:
To allow the largest entities in this game to freely move about with no fear or risk in empire and ruin you!
Some say the The Great Mutton Head engineered this while he was in the CSM.
To be able to freely move the necc war goods and his Cartels tech to and from empire with no risk.
The largest entities in this game will also take the markets away from you.
How? Simple really when a large alliance is able to move massive amounts of goods they chose into a system such as Jita, you will not be able to undercut them from the sheer volume they will be able to drop on the markets.
So when you see the train of freighters coming into Jita from goon, razor, and other tech farmers, you wont be able to war dec them because it will cost you and your handful of guys 4+ bil to war dec them to keep them from harming your bottom line.
For people to sit here and reply to this thread with the idea that "It should cost them more because we offer them more targets" is absolutely idiotic. A war dec regardless of cost means nothing to them, but what means everything to them is they are part of such a large alliance that the avg corp cant harm them in empire and they can move freely without any danger.
I am a nullsec player and I will say this to the empire dwellers. Don't let this change happen because if you do you will regret it more than any change CCP has ever made.
Large alliances have already shown they can control Jita by force, what happens when they can do it legally?
If I were a major nullsec alliance leader i would war dec the largest industrial empire people and put a 20 man camp on the undock of Jita 4-4 and crush your bottom line and make the rest of eve buy my product instead o |
