Why should your idea only apply to one man corps? The obvious way around your idea would be for James to invite enough people to his corp to reach whatever arbitrary number he needs to be able to avoid your one/two/whatever man corp exception to dropping corp, with the possible added bonus of increasing the war dec cost and inflicting even more ISK damages on whoever is dumb enough to dec him.

Correct. We'd literally throw a party if CCP changed current war dec mechanics so people couldn't drop corp during a war or had a war dec follow them for the length of the war. All the ISK we spend on T2 Catalysts could be spent on wardec fees, we'd rarely have to suicide gank , and we'd be killing even more miners. Big smile

Of course it won't be specifically for one man corps. The fix would be for any and all player corporations, no exceptions. If you get wardecced, you are stuck in it till the war ends. One man corp owners always say they are good at PVP and the fix of this exploit would force them to prove it.

As for your second reply, I agree. It would encourage miner corps to either alliance up with PVP players or learn it themselves so they can pop your catalysts. You would finally get the high sec you wanted. Still reasonably safe for pilots but with that danger that means that AFK'ers die quickly

OP, what will change if that James 315 decides to stay in NPC corp and continue what he is doing? You cannot wardec him, but he will be able to bump.
You losing 50m for wardeccing him and this thread of tears is a nice bonus reward for his activity.

OK we don't disagree then, but you might want to change the thread title, if you can.

Not nessisarily. Aren't corp members allowed to annihilate each other without concord intervension? I know that player corps can, my first CEO famously had his second gank corp members who disagreed with his 70% tax on income (Hard Rock Mining Corp (now closed after everyone left) but I dunno if the same rule applies to NPC corps like Scope.

AFAIK NPC corps are exempt from AWOXing. I doubt anyone would be in one if they weren't. I would welcome allowing NPC corp members to freely gank each other.

That would work...but you would recieve faction penalties or/and have to pay an isk fee, to avoid exploitation for griefing of new pilots. Maybe those who overuse it anf get hostile standings get moved to a pirate corporation like serpentis or guardian angels?

Some of this needs a translation as Capt Lynch doesn't really speak english.

Black Legion training corp= Black legion member multiboxing/ice mining in high sec.
Black Legion war deccing= this guys alt corp war deccing James whilst the entire rest of Black Legion fell over laughing at the guy making an idiot over himself.
50 million isk= 2 ships missing an ice cycle.

So basically a guy missed 2 mining cycles, has temper tantrum, wardecs without any research and then gets laughed at.
I am sure however the mightly Black Legion appreciate the white knighting here though :).

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

Apologies for the misunderstanding. I presumed that the black legion alt was inside a training corp for Black Legion. I saw the same thing done during a brief stint in the Null sec alliance, United Pod Services.

Either way, removing the exploit used to avoid the wardec and adding the changes outlined to the NPC corps would make High sec that little bit more dangerous and would encourage training of PVP skills before going onto mining.

As for the comment that I don't speak english. I am attempting to get CCP to take notice and make a high sec change that the most PVP'ers and James 315's little gang want. As such, please keep the trolling to a minimum as I doubt CCP development will bother to read a thread that was locked for trolling.

Just to clarify - this is not an exploit. In fact, CCP have, on several occasions, said that dropping a corporation at any time is pretty much working at as intended. The fact that it happens to be done at an inconvenient time for you (or anyone else) does not trump the player's right to leave a corp they no longer wish to be a part of.

Also, and I don't know how many times I have said this over the years, you CANNOT force people to PvP. You can inflict PvP on them, but you can't force them to reciprocate. Even if you force them to stay locked into a corporation, you can't force them to actually participate in a war - jump clones are an amazing thing, as are alts.

You do have options open to you: gank them. Bump them back. Infiltrate spies into the corporations, find out where they will be operating on a given day/week, and don't be there. Find out who's supplying them and interrupt THEIR training/logistics operations. Declaring war is actually the least creative way of solving the problem.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

I am simply pointing out a problem with the exploit and a solution. As for your many posts over the years, I've never read them. That doesn't ,mean they don't exist but I cannot know of things I have never even heard of, let alone read.

As for the options you have stated, the targets of the attacks are usually not equipped for PVP, be it ganking or awoxing, nor are they able to spy on a corp that only allows the founder to be a member. Bumping also doesn't work that well given the speed of the bumping ships used.

While adding awoxing to NPC corps would have its problems, many players starting their account as awoxers would probably be put off by the threat of being transferred to a pirate NPC corp, given that those corps have home ops in Low/null sec.

The funny thing is, James 315 started bumping from an NPC corp. But carebears said he was hiding in the NPC corp and was too afraid of their mighty wardec's to join a player corp. So he did, because unlike almost the rest of hisec, he actually knows the game mechanics. Since then it has been one huge outpouring of glorious tears when carebears find their own weapons used against them. I consider this thread a part of that continuous deluge of salty goodness.

Fix wardecs by all means. Its easy peasy. Anyone in the corp on either side of the wardec carries the war with them for the remaining duration of the war regardless of them dropping corp or not. The New Order would fully support that change. As I'm sure Whores in Space, The Marmite Collective, Somali Bootcamp, Shoulda Checked Local, etc... would.

Please stay on topic. If you think my fix won't work, say what you think will instead of simply trolling.

Edit: Apologies, didn;t see that you had already.

However, this thread is not meant to tear extraction, its meant to bring such solutions to CCP's attention so they can potentially impliment them.

As CEO of The NODD & member of the CODE. Alliance I fully support this thread. I'll reframe from friendly banter at this time.

Making it that the wardec following the character for 7 days is the best idea imo.

Never been bumped, black. You must have me confused with another player...Miner intimidations mining ops are wormhole based and all high sec operations are usually war ops against targetted corporations.

It should always be dangerous to undock, but CCP doesn't want to drive carebears from the game, nor should they. You can't force people to fight, even in a PvP first game like this, and constant, inescapable war decs are just going to make people quit the game. Easy for the wolves to say "good!", but it's not us losing money when carebears quit. CCP is a business first, and not many pure FFA PVP MMOs are successful.

My suggestion would be first 30 days stays as is and you are in whatever NPC corp you would normally be in as a nooby that has war dec/AWOX protection.

After 30 days (if you don't voluntarily leave sooner), you are dumped into a secondary faction based (but not faction warfare) NPC corp that can we wardecced. These would be the same corps people dropping from player corps would go into. Of course, such a corp would probably be big enough that only rich corps/alliances could afford a war dec, and that would be really bad news to people who don't want to PvP. I guess if you don't want to be in a wardecced NPC corp you could pay the 1.6M ISK and make a player corp to escape the war dec on the NPC corp or join an active player corp. You do have 1.6M ISK to spare after playing for 30 days, don't you?

I doubt CCP would *ever* let NPC corp members freely attack each other, even with a sec status hit/auto transfer out to a pirate NPC corp once your sec status is too low. I can only imagine how badly that would be abused.

TBH I'd be happy with just having a war dec follow any member that leaves a corp under war dec for 7 days.

This mechanic doesn't need to be removed, it's awesome for tears collecting and it works !!

Hint move to null sec, no more issues with alt corps, neutral boost/falcon alts, wardecs and blahblahblah. Kill everything in your overview it's not blue/green/purple

No problem to solve, option available: check

Who are you anyways? I have a miner character who I mine with semi-AFK, and I've never seen you, or anyone else. I've never had a suicide gank against me. You all seem rather impotent to me, incapable of policing most of highsec...

And no, my miner doesn't mine in the same area as this character. I want to see if you'll actually step up and work on policing highsec properly. So please, come and find my miner.
