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.
And now I know 100% that you are just trolling this thread, between the way you flip flop back and forward between views, and the way you donât even bother reading other peoples posts before spamming replies. Have fun with your bridge.
The problem is really that a wardec alone doesnât affect you negatively as described in the text. Itâs 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 peopleâs heads because they fear wars and itâs 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?

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.

In short, itâs fear mongering. Itâs a politcal game instigated by larger alliances who want free routes into high-sec for making ISKs and not wanting to fight.
