So I am confused, are Goons/TEST trapped or not? I really hope they are, it would be great news for us all. If Goons are trapped in Dec Shield, expect a quick-fix patch fixing the broken war dec mechanics by down time tomorrow. Remember how speedy the 'fix' for Inferno war-dec dog piling came?


goons dont care about highsec wars. we do all our highsec stuff on out of alliance alts, just like any other eve player with half a brain

TEST joined Dec Shield with a corp to siphon off all 180 wars, they then selectively unmutualled all but the ones they wanted. That transfer corp with the 9 mutual wars they wanted then joined their alliance. This was completely intentional by them, and those wars are defensive in nature. Thus they are not trapped, nor can they be trapped by this.

Goonswarm wardecced "Manifest Destiny" alliance, who Dec Shield already has trapped. Manifest Destiny is in 30+ wars, including against dead corporations. Any transfer corps that attempt to leave Manifest Destiny will be trapped in inescapable outgoing wars, and thus be unable to spread Goonswarm's wars to other entities. Dec Shield couldn't even trap Goonswarm if we wanted to.

WOAH THERE!

put the brakes on this 'fix' bs!

EvE with unlimited allies for no cost was 100% great, then it got nerfed.

EvE with unlimited unescapable wars is great, please DO NOT NERF!

Ya, my wording might not have been the most clear. But we're working WITH Goonswarm and TEST. We don't want to trap them. This post was about attention whoring, raising awareness, and dispelling a bunch of weird rumors going around

Zerg here has been campaigning for the "Mutual Trapping" to be fixed almost as soon as it started.

I would hardly call this thread "Tears" on their behalf. Its basically just campaigning to get it fixed. Which, I fully support.

The fact a corp can join an alliance who can then call it mutual is ridiculous. The war wasn't declared against them, they shouldn't be able to make it mutual. If a corp at war joins an alliance it should give up the right to make that war mutual.

Wouldn't trapping both Goons and TEST be the most effective way to get CCP to do something about the "problem"?

Ya it would be, but I can't get their wars even if I wanted to. TEST has no outgoing wars, and Goonswarm's war can't be spread to another alliance.

This would probably matter if we ever went into highsec.
If you want to shoot us, you know where we all are. No need to stream tears about how you can't wardec and then camp a highsec gate for four days to maybe catch some pubbie and his freighter being dumb.

I might believe wars didn't matter to you or your alliance if you weren't using Dec Shield to get free wars.
