From my list, the folks attending Vegas will be Me, Sort, TheJudge, Merkelchen, and Innominate.
Suitonia would probably be receptive.
You can also email me more specific stuff if you want. briscrubal@csm.eve.com
If you plan on attending any of the round tables, regardless of the subject, at the end when they ask for questions be sure to ask loudly about the ECM circle Jerk.
Nothing gets back to the leaders faster than a team member saying “Our round table about player owned gates was OK but at the end everyone wanted to talk about the October ecm update”
Its not just ECM, its target painters, short points, long points, damps, disruptors and how ECM is still influenced by #RAND while the others are not. There’s so much inconsistency across racial abilities that make some ships way better than others to the point a number of ships would not be missed if they ceased existing.
It would be nice if ecm actually did something to the target … LIke JAM IT

Social corps or bust.

To Social Corp supporters:
How many people do you think will swap to Social Corp from current NPC and Player Corps?
What % drop in number of wardecs do you expect?
How will this stop players in small Player Corps with a structure, from logging out and never returning when wardecced?
How does this help incentivize them to stay logged in or fight back?
Or how about this:
Player Corps without a structure, cannot be wardecced or declare a war.
Doesnt get simpler than that solution.
Except now you have all the benefits of 0 tax without the attendant risk. The whole point of the social corp is to put a cost on it, but a cost that is paid as you are active rather than a fixed fee over time which punishes you for taking time off.

There is a cost in my suggestion.
No structures.
And if you want to wardec, you have to have a structure.
which the mission runner doesn’t care about in the slightest. So why should the mission runner get immunity to wardecs for free when they currently pay 11% of their income for this
You where earlier against being able to buy wardec immunity. Are you now suddenly for a isk cost to be wardec immune?
Gotcha! 
Look one post up and my explanation is right there for why buying wardec immunity is bad but an Npc tax on social corps is fine.
Also trying wardecs to structures hands power to null groups like you claimed to hate… So uh yeah. Gotcha.
What difference does it make if the immunity is paid for in % of tax on isk earnings, or as a weekly isk immunity payment to CONCORD based on corp size?
Both are paid for immunity.
…unless the war is mutual, shall we add.
That’s the crux. Non-mutual wars must go because they’re competing as a solution with just stop playing. What is cheaper than stop playing? Nothing but keep playing without wardecs.
Build/destroy a structure… bullsh¡t. Stop playing is cheaper.
Meet a PvE goal… bullsh¡t. Stop playing is cheaper.
Do something else than play under CONCORD protection… bullsh¡t. Stop playing is cheaper.
Limit the numbers (corp size, active wars, war cost) Bullsh¡t. It will be gamed through alts.
Non-mutual wardecs are free passes for ganking. The only thing they do that isn’t doable by ganking is to destroy structures.
And that’s where the proposals to wardec structures come in. Use mine or some another: the thing is that if what you want is to destroy structures, create a mechanic that allows that and exactly only that.
Mutual wardecs are fine, they serve a purpose and doesn’t needs to change. But free passes for ganking, delivered en masse by a few people upon thousands whose standard procedure is to stop playing EVE altogether, their tiem is done. They must go and will go if CCP has any good sense left.
Also, as I suggested on another thread, behavioral impairment of wardecs is a lot more effective than numbers impairment (size, active wars, cost, all the easily alt-gamable stuff). Force players to have a non-mutual war alt in a non-mutual war corporation deprived acces to docking in highsec and that will limit wardecs organically… and will make them more interesting too. Orcas with a cloak hiding in a safe anyone?
And lest not forget this: new character creation is down by 25% compared to last year and is back to nearly pre-F2P levels. There is no spin doctoring to this, less people starting a character is either bad or very bad depending on the cause and the extent of the dip. Retention is bound to become THE thing.

The defenders of the structure wardec would still have to PvP though, which is what many dont want to do.
Well we don’t know how many until we actually give it a go.
Also means multiple entities can wardec the same structure, overwhelming defense, even if a defense is attempted.
In his proposal, the structure wardec will be cheap. So they can declare, hit the structure, and destroy defenders, even cheaper than now via wardecs.
Other people arent going to show up to attack the aggressing wardeccer, though its signalled out on the map.
People in HS rarely aggress suspects.
This suggestion doesnt make sense as any way to end the player attrition due to wardecs.
Read or stop trolling. Because demanding I answer questions I literally just answered is trolling.
I really am believing you are salvos now.

Same words to you.
Earlier you where against bought immunity, now you are for it.
There is no relevant difference between wardec immunity bought by % NPC tax sunk on earnings, or paying an isk fee per week for immunity.
Both are immunities paid for in isk.
Sure thing salvos. Enjoy being blind and spouting rubbish. I explained the difference. I’m sure anyone with half a brain will be able to get the explanation. Only wilful ignorance can fail to.
