Just guessing here...but if these guys are really botters, they may have taken precautions not to get wardecced- like choosing a corp name with some special characters that do not show up in the English alphabet and that are unknown to the EVE server and thus are not displayed.

Just a wild theory, but should this really work it would be the mother of all exploits...

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Solved:

The corporation CZ-Technomagove is part of the alliance Shadow Operations. (with the Dot at the end). As you can't declare war on a corporation in an alliance, you need to need declare war to the alliance, it will now show up in the list. Points to CCP for thinking of that :) Points deducted for incomplete message :(

All advice has been followed and yes, it most indeed is an issue.


edit: especially after spending months suspecting a bot, and then discovering an obvious coding exploit may perhaps be involved.

We shall see what CCP figures out. No response just yet, and of course I have to follow rules around that.

..although it is ironic that a 'carebear' wants to War Dec and then cannot.

Most bizarre most indeed.

Clearly this is a CCP owned corp and is therefore immune to wardecs. Overload teh tinfoilz!

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Being in an Alliance = Obvious Exploit now?


By the way, 11 corps have managed to declare war on the Corp you want to dec.

Will believe when I see. Actually, I wanted to take care of the matter on my own.

Show info on the Corp. Notice they're in an Alliance. Try Wardeccing the Alliance. Find that Wardeccing the Alliance works just fine.

Thanks for the advice, but this issue still needs to be resolved.

What issue? The Corp is in an Alliance. You cannot independently WarDec a corp that is in an Alliance. You can only Wardec the Alliance.

IC. Still seems like this is something that needs to be looked at.

It's well known by most folks that you can't declare war directly on a corp that is in an alliance, however for anyone who didn't already know that, CCP's Wiki does not state that explicitly.

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Wars

It would probably be a good idea if CCP stated such via an error message or other dialog when you attempt to war dec a corp in an alliance, but hey, this is just more CCP :excellence:

Exactly my point.

The entire thread could have been avoided.
