EVE General Discussion

Agreed. Otherwise some corps will balloon numbers with alts they don't really play.

Any corp will quickly realize when they're being Surrender Trolled.

1 bil is far to low as top-cap.

1 bil as minimum might be ok caped at 100 bil.

PS: and no I'm not trolling.
Even I can make 1 bil within 1 week SOLO with just one acc and nearly no playtime. So any dedicated wardec corp should be able to earn that much.

You realize how badly this would destroy the mercenary industry, right? Just because you can make money quickly doesn't mean you represent the majority of the player base. There's a whole lot of corporations out there who balk at paying on the lower end of a few hundred million for mercenary services, and that's before even taking the war fee into account.

People should defend themselves by defending themselves.

Would you spent millions of SP into indu-skill just becouse some random nobody tells you to do ?

No you wouldn't as you would consider the time you invest into something you don't like to do as WASTED!

What about the times a rival industrial corporation wants to eliminate its competition by hiring muscle to put the squeeze on their operations?

What about the times an aggrieved player wants to hire some mercenaries to shut down a griefer's activity?

What about the times when some corporation undergoes an internal theft, and wants to exact revenge on the thief?

See, the assumption you're working on is that every single war that happens is purely a grief war. Well, you know what they say about assumptions...

Flipping your sentences:

You do realize how badly this will destroy the industrial industry right?

Industry's ammo is money, you are better to be prepared to fight against their defense.

It's not worth the time to try to build anything in this game, meaning corp, infrastructure, or whatever. I think NPC corp will be the solution for me if I stay in the game at all. I'm sick of taking grief from other players and dealing with war decs I don't want. I've tried to help build a newbie corp with my main for over two years and every war dec brings a fresh stupid loss from the new players who just don't get Eve, and who rightly don't just want to dock up for a week during a war dec when they're paying to play a game. We've had 40-50 wars while I've been playing and we've done badly at nearly all of them because we have tried to take in new players to make corp chat fun and to help them learn the game that we were (once) passionate about. Our war record will always identify us as a target.

There's obviously no room for people like me in this game and maybe it's time I faced it. I get enough consequences from my life, I don't need them from a game that's supposed to be fun.

These new war dec rules just substitute one bad set of war dec rules for another. The system will just grief our corp in a different way.

The ally system is about the only bright spot. But it will be used to scam members, I expect, and will hurt as much as it helps.

A week for a war is far too long. The cost is not nearly high enough to be a deterrent. The

Oh, why bother. I don't even think I care any more.

LATER, AFTER READING THE OTHER CHANGES: Okay, what I wrote here is wrong. I had not read about the other changes coming to high sec in terms of can flipping, concord response, etc. Now that I have a better idea of the total changes that are coming, I think the war dec changes will work, too. My main wish was that high sec should become safer for new players so they will stay in the game long enough to learn it. I think the new high sec rules can make that possible. I am impressed, actually. This is a good plan in its online.

Yeah, no one else does either. You're obviously too terrible at this game to be teaching newbies how to make their way, please just leave the game.
