What is the primary reason for corporations to declare war on a single other corporation, I noticed that a corporation with only 6 members was at war with a dozen others that declared war on them, what causes this?

Some for the lulz... some want targets in highsec, some are pirates looking for haulers, some do it for e-peen, some for ransom ISK, still others to take down highsec POSs.... there's about a zillion reasons to do it now that the dec mechanic is better... just depends on the dude doing the dec. You'd have to ask him.

Did this corporation happen to have "Dec Shield" in its very recent alliance history?

You honestly can't think of any kind of reason why a several groups of players would want to be able to shoot at another group of players?

I mean, we're all nerds here, I know that generally the scope of social interaction we have is limited, but you must have at some point encountered some people who were just a bunch of jerks, right?

How else do you prove to yourself you're a big, bad, hardcore l33t pvper when you get your ass handed to you anywhere you can't immediately dock once in low armor?

I've been told it's because they're all sociopaths.

You have noticed the gaping hole in EVE.


PvP serves no purpose apart from keeping the economy going.

And all PvP is predatory.

I dont normally troll, but when i do i do it on General Discussion.

In EVE, "why not" is as good reason as any.

I really wish they'd just turn off empire pvp and be done with it already.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:
