Crime & Punishment

Is it no reason, or are they wasting your time? Please don't contradict yourself.

Also, last I checked some people like shooting spaceships without having to travel far from Jita.

Apparently they catch enough folks for it to be enjoyable for them, or I don't think they'd bother shelling out the ISK for the wardec fees.

You will also find some people who will do it to **** a corp off enough to pay the Waring corp to leave them alone.

Because there is odd the chance that they will get a kill and the victim will post on the forums about it.

Seriously though, the reason may not be clear to you but most wardeccers will have a reason to declare war, be it reviewing a corporation/alliance's killboards to see if they are easy prey, seeing them using in corp freighters/orcas, flying blinged out mission fits, smack talking, contracts, you name it. Wars exist in their current form because CCP wants them to be open to interpretation and storytelling, even if they often times don't have any interesting context.

tl;dr They want content.

I'm going to take this opportunity to grind an axe (what? who me? no one would ever expect that! ). This goes out to all those "CHANGE IT' people.

CCP made those changes, changes that many people asked for and agreed with when told about them, in an attempt to make the situation "better". People complained to high heavens about war decs, and CCP obliged them by making changes that forum posters were sure would curb the bad things about war decs while amplifying the good. The"Change it now" folks not only rejoiced, they looked at war deccers and basically said "haw, take that, your pitiful war dec status quo is about to CHANGE ha ha".

Turns out that those changes made things worse. Not for the War Deccers mind you, they just adapted to the new war dec rules. No, the changes made it worse for everyone else, no instead of war deccers analysing trade and system traffic and finding vulnerable corps to war dec, they just random war dec EVERYONE and how something shakes out. And it does, the past changes to war decs not only made things worse for the people who were supposed to be helped, they probably made life easier and more lucrative for the war deccers....

I always like to recall how this happened with Goons and Dominion sov and how the 'small group' anti Goon types were sooo sure that DOMINION SOV was going to kick Goons right in the pants when in fact it turned out to be such a serious boon to Goons that their empire lasted years longer than it would have under the old pre-Dominion system. Those "goons are gonna get it now" folks who were celebrating the idea of dominion helping 'the little guy) actually turned into freaking GOON SLAVES (renters).


Which leads me to the whole point of the ranting above. You simply cannot make the naive, utopian, overly optimistic "CHANGE IT" types understand that sometimes "change" is more likely to screw you than help you., and that you cannot 'change' human nature.

Every time someone tries to explain to the change crowd that it won't work the way they think it will ( that the most probable outcome is that everyone BUT the targeted people will get screwed if the crack pot idea they)hold onto ever comes to fruition), you get the exact same responses.

"You are just afraid of change"

"You just want to maintain the status quo because you benefit from it"

"you hate the new players who will flood the game when the big change to 'X" (X being the bad/evil thing,. war decs, ganking, cloaky camping, scams, awoxxing, etc etc) happens"

At this point I've learned to just let it happen for the most part, because while I don't like a lot of what CCP is doing with EVE, I've learned that it is at least enjoyable to watch the "change it!" crowd get screwed over when CCP gives them the exact thing they were asking for...

but its not to get a responce from us. that was their main reason...
im just asking why people do this sort of thing

also i think war decs should be a ships destroyed per decc kind of thing. if you kill a certain amount of ships depending on the corp/alliance size of the people you dec then you can keep the war dec.

well besides me making our KB horrible we dont really give them ANY content as of like a week or 2 ago...
