I do agree that there's more wardec trolling happening than there should be, but I don't think a hard cap is the answer here. As other have already mentioned, all someone needs is a few alts to go back to carebearing unhindered.

Instead, I think an escalating war dec cost would solve this problem a little better. Each war costs more than the previous one, but a symmetric war (mutual declaration) doesn't increase the scaling, and splits the war cost between both corps.

This prevents a corp from locking themselves out, and it prevents the trolling where a corp has dozens of active wars going just to prey on carebears. Moreover, it incentivizes the mutual, unending wars (live RvB) that provide so much of the extant pvp content in high sec.


There is little difference between this and a hard cap. There are many folks that can easily afford to put a war out of the reasonable price range.

Put a cap on assists and enforce the 200km no war zone around HS stations. Low and null stations are fine as is. Change the cost scheme to scale with directly with corp/alliance size. These 3 things will cure many war dec ills.

You misunderstand me. The cost escalation is only a cost escalation on the part of the wardeccer, not the corp they're shooting at. Any number of corps can declare their first active war against a single target at 0 scaling costs,. However, in order for your corp to aggress against 20 or so corps at once, your costs increase dramatically.

This prevents people from locking themselves out with a hard cap or scaling costs.

Looks like a care bear is scared.
