Kneejerk wardec fixes just make it worse. The 1.1 version will make wardecs a toy for the big alliances.
Jade may be a rabid tinfoil poster, but he's right about that.

bad changes, terrible CCP

Nobody wants to fight you in Deklein. You have NAP'd virtually the whole of 0.0 already. We wanted to kick your teeth for the next couple of years in empire, but it seems the game is being changed to make it more FAIR for you thus removing that option.

Yet, again, GSF actually want the war with you. The only person who thinks they don't is you.

You are such a ******* tired record by now, you really are.

I'm pretty sure GSF are going to keep the war live on you, so I don't know why you're saying that option is gone, you're just going to have to work with it differently.

The wardec shenanigans are just stupid. You say you don't want war to be fair, then someone dogpiles against an aggressor unfairly and you rush out a fix... urhghgh.

Here's an idea: Keep the 1.0 mechanics, but make it so turning the war mutual removes allies / the ability to have allies. That way small defenders can dogpile against bigger aggressors and potentially win, but they can't then trap the aggressor / force them to surrender through the mutual-war mechanic

Kneejerk reactions would be best explained by removing the word Knee.

One can only assume that this has nothing to do with "Mercenary Marketplace" but ONLY to do with the Mittani and various Null sec alliance CSM representatives hitting the Dev Bat-phone. Nice to see CCP backsliding as usual after the un-natural forward progress of Crucible.

One can see that the philosophy of EVE developers is: "You will reap the consequences of your actions - unless you're Goons"

Dear devs, would you please HARDEN THE **** UP.

I seem to recall that this (no allies in a mutual war) was the original way they where going to do things, then for some reason it didn't get implemented that way.

I have to admit, I am starting to favor the more epic "let both sides recruit unlimited allies in a mutual war". Now that would be a mechanic worthy of the title "Inferno".

People are *still* talking about how this benefits large alliances and completely ignoring 99.9% of EvE.

Can anyone exactly explain how? You realise you can go shoot them in nullsec, for free, all day every day right? You realise absolutely nothing in this change STOPS you from forming a large "coalition" to go and fight nullsec powerblocks, right?

Do you also realise the self same groups were wardeccing the Goons before the change, and paying a small 50-150mil a week to do it?

Given your answers to the above, do you really want a mechanic which is designed to be usable only in the case of a large alliance wardeccing you?

If people could take "goons" off their brains for 2seconds they'd see the change for what it is.

I'm coming to understand that none of you are able to do this. Pity.

Jade keeps telling us about his "mighty coalition of allies who have banded together" but still dodges basic questions about them, such as whether he has even spoken to the people pressing "ally all" in their Neocom. Someone who wants to "shoot goons for free" (his words) is not an ally fighting for his ideals.

So basically you are saying you are ignoring the forums and sites like eve news. Because I barely read anything and I've heard the Goons whining.

As a member of BUGRY, members 50, we were wardecced by a small corp, members 15, who had a massive grudge against us because we'd pulled down their space trousers and did our namesake.

Day 1-4 of the war led to a handful of engagements.

Day 5 saw inferno.

By Day 6, we had 15 allies for a total of 250-300 people. We actually also were the first corp to receive an ally under the new system, toot.

By Day 10 we had almost 900 allies from 25corps (mostly the exact same ones "helping" Jade and every single other corp. One of our allies was a 5man corp in 50wars).

We paid for none, we spoke to none.

The wartargets didn't bother undocking again, because any concept of who was fighting who was completely lost in the mire.

This story repeated itself across every war going, every aggressed party effectively had every "merc" working for them, for free.

Nothing constuctive came of this except Jita 4-4 was a sea of Red for anyone who had issued a wardec. Goons lost every ship that passed through Jita, just like they'd lost every ship that passed through Jita pre-inferno. It doesn't take 900 people to nab the silly JF pilot or the autopilot badger.

This was not good. This broke the wardec system completely.

Now, Jade will tell you this change is all about Goonswarm (and if you think he's climbed down from insane conspiracy theories, he just wrote this: http://www.evenews24.com/2012/06/15/eve-online-inferno-scorches-the-mittani%E2%80%99s-knickers-ccp-turns-down-the-heat/ ) because having you think that suits his agenda, regardless of the fact highsec being "too safe" is on the goons grudge list, and would happily have a permadec to everyone (literally, it's one of their griefing plans).

It isn't. It's literally about everyone else, since the only people who are able to effectively wardec WITH the dogpiles ARE the very large alliances.

Do you see now, the issue?
