Funny. If you replace Jita with Uedama pretty much the same points can be adressed to Goons Big smile


Not 'Goons', Just 'MiniLuv'.

I don't expect someone like you to understand intra-alliance organization, or the SIGs and Squads structure of our Alliance, but I assure you Goons kill (and die) everywhere.


And your point is?
I expect nothing else from an 8k ppl alliance than to die everywhere. I don't care about intra-alliance dribble. Why should I? "Someone like me" is obviously not in Goons, and Miniluv are Goons to "someone like us".

Still decced by Dec Shield and friends, I repealed all the mutual wars on patch day and they still manage to exploit it to keep us trapped. Now I have multiple non-mutual wars, including one with Dec Shield that says it's been going on since october. Sent in a petition yesterday with no response. What a CF, I don't know why they aren't taking their own wardec system more seriously when they put in a significant amount of effort to make it a focal point of their last expansion.

I appreciate the work Dec Shield is doing, there's no way to make them fix broken features like this unless you break them even harder.

Not at all. I actually expected it to happen sooner.

Just a quick note. RvB - Blue is still trapped in wars by dec shield and we couldn't care less. The only reason Red shed ALL its war (including the one with blue) is that a bug disbanded the Red Alliance. When CCP restored it they didn't restore the wars along with it which was actually rather unfortunate as it led to a 24 hour DT in RvB fighting this week. Decshield and its wars have had no impact on us other than the stream of notifications.

Hey I have had worse just trying to make a simple script to calculate the various effects of laminar flow over an airfoil.
Especially since as pointed out Red did everything right on their end.

Also curious Zerg, will you continue this if as suspected all three methods are closed?
Will you hunt for more or will you feel your duties are done?

I believe the third method is still valid. We will know for sure if every non-GM'd war is still trapped on the 12th.

I'm hoping that it somehow is fixed. I've stopped bothering to add target corps on my alts because the number of notifications was getting obscene. Not counting on it though. Yay notifications!

Or maybe we'll get lucky and be "GM'd". *snicker*

I think that between godawful game design and the questionable skills of CCPs programming staff you'll be very lucky to see CCP come up with fixes that actually work to close all of the exploits.

Even if they were closed the core game design behind the current wardec system is so bad that wars will still be an absolute joke. As long as you can enlist allies into a war for trivial costs wars will remain the exclusive domain of dedicated PVP corps and not something that the average highsec corp would even consider. And as long as the costs remain as high as they are they will be limited in accessibility to people regularly make giant piles of isk.

Zerg has done an outstanding job of pointing out the godawful mechanical holes in the war mechanics but the fact still remains that, by design, CCP made war declarations a tool that that people can't afford to use and if you do use it just happens to cut your throat.

So RvB - RED Federation has just disbanded (3000 players), and we just stole their alliance name so they can't reform. If only there were some mechanic in place to prevent these alliances from being permanently trapped in wars. I'm not even sure they can reform into a new alliance because they're still stuck in outgoing wars.


Sorry. I cant hear you for all the frigs popping in poinen. Did you say anything important?


b/c you're a 3 system hopping gate hugging solo pvp artist?


And your point is?


that you're important and we all really should learn something from you... Roll

You say you want to end high sec griefing yet in the case of my alliance *YOU* are the griefers...how are you trying to get matters resolved when you are snide and unresponsive to all attempts at diplomacy?
We are a mining/indy alliance, do *NOT* actively war dec and do not promote behaviour that could bring wars upon us as everyone knows highsec wars are senseless.
The *only* time we dec is to even the playing field against groups that dec us (which if you had bothered to check the history has only happend twice).
I also happen to know we are not the only carebears you have in your current dec list while your own mission statement clearly states you *ONLY* target pirate/merc/griefer corps & alliances which would imply that you do a bit of research and are selective with the targets you choose.
The truth is you're not, your goal is to have as many active eternal wars as possible and to continue to use exploits as your manner to have fun in the game just like any other griefer corp/alliance.
At least true merc/griefer corps are honest in what they do... and honesty I can respect... what you do, I cannot respect.

Our griefers came to you when they got caught with their breeches down and you took them in and continued the griefing of us for the past month.
You go against yourself by saying you wish to bring attention to the broken mechanics and end highsec griefing yet you are guilty of the same thing you are so-called trying to stop and paint yourself here as being a sort of Robin Hood when you're no better than the thugs you protect.

I dont support what you are doing because it sounds noble on paper but being the true moralfag I am, when you dont do your research and target indy corps/alliances that are already being griefed, you lose any support you would have had from me and others like me.
What good does it do for the whole of EvE and it's community to run off the new players before they even have a chance to start loving the game?
Thats what happens when you target groups like my alliance.

And my apologies for sounding like a whiny little wench... I just wished to point out Dec Shield are not and have not been acting as admirably and honourably as they would like all of you here to believe and are actually griefers themselves that are further contributing to the rising ship and mineral costs by not allowing carebears to get out and seed our markets.

No tears from me mate, just stating fact and calling a spade a spade... I guess you think those shiny ships you like to fly to pewpew in are magically created out of thin air... you should learn pewpew & carebearing are a symbiotic relationship.
Without us carebears mining and building ships you wouldnt have anything to fly or to blow up.
