Did you read this and comprehend this?

> **War Declaration**  
> In the EVE Leadership meeting the CSM was presented with numbers resulting from research into the state of war declarations in EVE and those numbers quite starkly showed how asymmetric the situation is, and how war declarations allow a small number of players to negatively affect a huge number of people, with low risk. These numbers may be discussed further by CCP at a later date.

PIRAT is small, with only 238-240members.  
Its eminently relevant how many other players they are negatively affecting, asymmetrically, with low risk, with their 161 current declared wardecs, not to mention others previously.

To my reading, PIRAT fits the description of the problem, exactly.

Do you agree PIRAT fits the text described as the problem in the CSM Summit minutes, as issued by CCP for CSM to view?

PIRATs wardec history is so vast, that it literally cannot be displayed on Dotlan.  
It crashes the page.

The problem is really that a wardec alone doesn’t affect you negatively as described in the text. It’s the loss of your ship, which affects you negatively. So even if PIRAT could declare a million wars do they also first have to come with their ships and actually shoot you.

This problem started in some people’s heads because they **fear** wars and it’s then their fear which drives the entire discussion and ultimate into an irrational direction, because it was irrational to begin with.

Or would you say that you had a negative on all of EVE if you declared war on everyone? Or would you just be one man shooting, with everyone being able to shoot you, too?

There is no specific mention of ship loss in the quote from the minutes.

Yes, no mention of ship loss, so dunno why you bring that up, when its not there.

It says asymmetrically negatively affecting, to paraphrase.

Because it’s being ignored.

If you as a single player could declare a million wars, wouldn’t you be at more risk than the million others?

Does this not describe PIRAT exactly?

Its a small Alliance, only with 238-240members in 13 Corps, whom have 160 active declared wardecs at this time, affecting far more than their own small number, and over 20k declared wardecs in their history.

As I predicted earlier, the mass wardeccers will show up to troll and misdirect from them being shown to be exactly the cause of the problem described in the quote from the CSM minutes, as presented to CSM by CCP leadership.

This whole time we have been barking up the wrong tree.

Now its clear which one needs to be addressed.

The description of the problem, as a hole in EVE, fits the exact shape of PIRAT and others like it.

That’s not my point. I’m saying the analysis of wardecs is flawed.

PIRAT can only do so much damage with their number of players, while their opponents are far more players.

This is only turning into a witch hunt against PIRAT.

PIRAT doesnt matter.

The problem they are causing, does.

Its not PIRATS fault for exploiting the system as it is.

But that doesnt mean that hole does not need to be fixed.

What I especially love is people complaining about wardeccers being too strong.

But they have a couple dozens wars at all times. Why don’t people try working together or something? 😂

Oh wait

Ill be clear.

PIRAT and others like it are not to blame.

The wardec system that allows them to create the problem expressed by CCP to CSM, is.

That needs to be fixed.

There is no hole nor is there an exploit when a smaller group declares war on many others and intentionally chooses to have many enemies.

To see this as a problem that needs fixing is completely against the fundamentals of PvP. It needs to be seen as bravery and find support.

If people can’t be arsed to defend themselves from literally about 5p active players, it’s not up to CCP to change things
