Sounds like the truth to me.

If youve got any actual arguments, present them.

If not, well, then, 2bad4u. Wardec it is.

The fact of the matter is, If you own a structure, you are no longer considered a new, small corp. If you want a structure, then you have to pay the price. If you cant afford the price, you shouldnt own a structure.

Dont fly or anchor what you cant afford to lose.

_CCP employee CCP Larrikin, a data scientist working on EVE Online, disclosed a shocking piece of data to the CSM regarding player-run corporations that find themselves as the target of a war. These corporations show a massive decline in player activity almost immediately, that does not regenerate once the war is finished._

The issue that was occuring before has not gone away. The merc groups merged into the mega hisec wardec coalition and continue as they did before. 1655 wars already in 2020 so far. They pick on smaller corps who either don’t want to fight or don’t stand a chance against their much greater numbers, vastly superior wealth and tactics and knowlege.

Who do you think such fights are fun for? I’m sure the mega hisec wardec coalition is having a blast. Everyone loves to be the winner. Wonder how their victims feel though.

Oh yeah, we know how they feel. CCP Larrikin told us. Many of them quit the game.

That’s the thing it’s **not** just new players.

It’s structures. It’s vets. It’s bling fit battleships. It’s mining fleets.

Making wardecs as weak as they are has had detrimental effects on the game and it’s economy and the part of wardecs that no one likes, big unkillable groups stomping, continues as normal.

Nerfing decs was a terrible idea and so is this one. It just makes things works.

You don’t say? Necessary part of the sandbox? I’m not making the case to remove war decs from the game.

Of course it did. Now, the only wardec eligible corps are those that have structures.

Let me ask you a question.

What are your thoughts on someone hauling 100 billion isk worth of Plex in a shuttle, and auto-piloting it through hisec, and getting ganked?

Structures are cheap, and easily accessible to new players. Are you telling me that only advanced players use structures? I’m not accepting that argument so don’t even bother.

Oh so we’re comparing making it more costly for mercs to issue mass wardecs to a hypothetical idiot hauling 100 billion isk in a shuttle through hisec now?

A nerf which you yourself have just said would not stop war decs. So what’s the problem?

It won’t stop them. But it will reduce the number of war decs by mega hisec war dec coalitions on low value corps - low value ecause they are smaller or made of newer players and not worth a billion isk fee.

It would not stop the biggest wardec group.

It makes it harder for their competition.

Yes, we are, because your argument is as stupid as that example.

But let me quote what you said, as a great counter to what you wrote.

Yes, I wonder how the victim of a Gank, feels. And yet, its their fault, isnt it?

Wardecs and systems associated with then have been nerfed over and over again, yet there never was the effect CCP or the carebear community predicted. Why should it be different for yet another nerf?

They merged because cost became an issue and your idea will just reinforce that.

If you want to actually get rid of big wardec corps we need to go the opposite way and make the wardecs cheaper.

Its a never ending cycle. Thats the problem.

Wardecs were already nerfed. What if the wardeccing corp just changes into 10 different corps and does the same thing? Whos to say that you wont be right back here asking for one more nerf™?

Also, 4% wars with kill.

Your citation not mine.

So 96% without

Your position is that wars cause players to leave _even though in the vast majority of cases within the wars of this coalition dont result in destruction of ships/pods_.

So fear of interaction makes people leave?

Good.

It will impede on the biggest war dec group to attack targets they should not be attacking. Low value corps made up of players who arn’t worth a billion isk war dec fee.

It will therefore reduce the number of war decs by mega hisec war dec coalitions on low value corps - low value because they are smaller or made of newer players and not worth a billion isk fee.

It even opens up a method to combat the biggest war dec group. If they will be careless with dishing out many war decs, they end up being the isk loser if they are willling to pay a billion isk fee to attack a low value corp.

And what if they break off into smaller groups to avoid this? Your argument only delays the inevitable, and will result in you coming back here, complaining how Wardecs are unfair and they should only be eligible against corporations with more than 1000 players, because woe is me, my corp has 20 people and we were stupid enough to want to own a citadel but dont want to defend it.

There is already a method to combat the wardec group. You can join the defenders any time you want, to combat them.

Should not be attacking? What do you mean by that?

Anyone with a structure should be attacked.
