Has seen a lot of new people that stopped playing because if the constant wardec’s. The numbers are starting to slowly pick back up for Eve Uni. Though the numbers are nowhere near where they generally are. But with this issue for many players. it is making it difficult for a new player to want to stay.
Yes Eve is PVP. yes Eve is a no holds bar unforgiving universe. That is all perfectly true. At the same time every new player is told that Highsec is relatively safe. With the wars between the empires being far off. That as a new player in a starter system is told and understanding that a wardec may happen between corporations. It is not a constant barrage of being wardec’d. Especially by players that dissolve one corp to form another to get around the two week cool down system.
Which as was explained to me and others. Is that players that are either new or have not made the jump to low or nullsec do not have to worry about a constant state of war.
These wars do not serve any function other than to legally gank players at trade hubs and other heavily traveled systems. It is not even about content at this point in my opinion. It is more about of looking for easy targets. Again my opinion.
