[BIG BUG?] Any member in a corp can make the whole corp got wardeced

I like it. Means you cant hide behind a holding corp.

Unanchor it and the wardec goes away. There can’t be that many spies and free planets.

Putting up structures should probably be restricted by roles, but i don’t want this to be changed until ccp re-think the silly situation of wardecs/social corps and breathe some life into hi-sec pvp. Until then content creators need just about every work around they can get.

Yeah the problem is the POCO can be anchored in a random wormhole that is very hard to find. And I don’t think you can transfer a POCO unless you find the system. So a corp that this happens to would be vulnerable to being wardecced for a long time.

Likely an oversight, but a funny one.

@CCP_Fozzie @CCP_Convict FYI just in case this isn’t bug reported

That is amusing.

You probably have the transfer structure feature on, in which case you screwed up.

Oh.

Wish mean that tonight I will login in a War-decced corp.

Nice!

Let’s (try to) kick some ass.

Or we could just remove that war eligibility nonsense and enable wars for all corps again like it was before. The whole change did not have the effect they promised (huge influx of new and returning players) so we should just roll it back.

Are you bipolar? In my topic you ramble on and on and on about how people would abuse the system with spy alts and I tell you that corp officials can check chars before accepting them and take mechanical steps to prevent spies from harming your corp and here your first response is “don’t take in spies”. You really need to work on your coherence.

The point of the issue is that there appears to be a loophole in the corp mechanics, and to a degree the wardec mechanics.

Anyone can drop a POCO frame, without roles. You do need roles to upgrade it to a full POCO.

The way this works is that the POCO frame gets dropped (by the spy), and then the corp gets wardecced. The spy then takes down the frame. You find yourself in a 24 hour war. The spy does the same thing just prior to the war ending and it creates a new 24 hour war. I’m not sure if the aggressing corp/alliance pays the wardec fee again, but the notifications indicate that they do. Each 24 hour war is automatically in the final 24 hour cooldown, and each “new” war seems to be it’s own war rather than the what you’d see with a normal war being extended.

It would seem this is exploiting an unintended loophole in what a qualifying structure is, or an unintended loophole with not requiring roles to drop a POCO frame, and even wardec mechanics themselves.

Easiest solution at this time is to identify and kick the spy.

This seems an issue worth ticketing. If GMs respond that this is working as intended, then it’s not an exploit.

By the way, I only heard of this happening very recently. Seems that at least one alliance is using this currently to create grief wars. I have heard some putting in support tickets on losses since it appears the mechanic of this situation is “broken”.

Regardless, EVE is a PvP game. Best attitude is to expect it when you don’t expect it.

Don’t feed the troll.

Since this actually might bring someone from CCP I will post some links to just show how bug free current system is.

OP: consider writing this on reddit. You will definitely find someone from CCP there rather here.

That third one is hilariously funny, we have used it a few times now, but only against blanket war deckers, because why not.

This is an awesome feature. Thanks CCP!!

Dusting off those safari boots…

Its definitly turned off, as a CEO we surely confirm 3 things first before we do it

  1. Take 1000 initiative shares
  2. Set the structure transfer to auto reject
  3. Set corp mail only for communication officiers.

“…of the corp I have my alts in along with the other corp that makes up the alliance I made to feel special…”

“initiative shares”
