Subject says it all.

I propose that the war dec fees are based on the difference in size of the fighting entities. This means that a small corp deccing a large alliance to grief them OR a Large alliance deccing a small one to grief them would be expensive. Groups of the same size would result in smaller fees.

I would also add that if allies join the fight the difference that makes to the fees should be refunded to the attacker.

Thanks you

Why is it so expensive for small corps to war dec big corps? Surely a small corp should get to dec corps on the cheap. CCP have gone the wrong way round doing the opposite which just encourages corps to fill up with alt chars on unsub'd accounts. Really dumb.

War cost should = number of chars in your corp not number in target. This would also encourage corps to throw out in active players.

Wardecs should be determined by the total number of combatants, not just the size of the defender. This would make it non-trivial for goonswarm to wardec one-man corps.

I understand why it costs to wardec large entities: you're paying for a lot of targets, plus it's a deterrent to the "dec everything and camp Jita undock" killboard wh*res. I just don't understand why they don't have to pay the same fee to dec in the opposite direction.

edit: And I'm against penalizing large groups simply for deccing smaller ones. I just want them to pay the same price as if it were reversed.

No, the only factor on the price of war should be the amount of members your corp or allince has. If your corp is packed with members you should be able to afford the cost. So small gang and one amn corps should get to dec for cheap.
