This mechanic is absolutely hilarious. I love the way Goonswarm's "griefing" wardec against Honda Accord has turned into every trade hub camping hisec merc corp in Eve coming on board as allies and kicking seven shades out of Goonswarm instead.

Its really funny.

And on a serious note, I do think its working as intended. A 0.0 alliance should be able to protect its people in hisec if it makes war otherwise it will get farmed. Under this system any outgoing wardec from a 0.0 entity is going to get jumped on by multiple "free allies" of the target and its going to make hisec a much more dangerous place for 0.0 pilots if their management choose to throw wars around.

The True Knowledge is that nothing matters that does not matter to you, might does make right and power makes freedom

Having actually spent a month or two in this lifestyle, let me speak from experience: No. Highsec War deccer corps rarely engage fleet sized elements of their WTs on equal terms. If they do so, and actively seek these engagements, they suck.

Essentially, the objective is to harass and eliminate idiots in shiny stuff. They search out morons in missions during war time, Autopiloting, sitting in space, whatever. The more allies a target has called in, a higher chance that on any given day, someone is missioning in an Apoc Navy somewhere, and thus, will make a juicy, juicy kill.

So, no. If anything, this will only encourage high sec war deccers. The main people on the recieving end of this who will get nerfed to hell, is nulsec alliances that cost too damn much to wardec normally. If they wardec anyone, then the defending corp can call in as many highsec wardeccers as they want.

The only real way to beat a wardeccer corp: Sit in station the entire seven days.
