EVE General Discussion

Just as a musing from a newer player to eve, why does the wardec system function as it does? Most of the wardecs I have seen are oversized corps and alliances decing smaller corps and the system seems horribly imbalanced in favor of the megacorps and griefing alliances. Curious as to why there isn't either an opt out or even a 5 billion/month limit 100 member/corp neutrality license that smaller corps can get to shield themselves from being bullied by larger corps.

Most people that war dec high sec corps will dock up at the first sign of any trouble but if u get war decced get everybody to form a fleet of cheap t1 frigs and head to jita or whatever station they are camping

Because they will be camping a station somewhere almost guaranteed

They will either dock or you can catch them by surprise and kill something

Also if your just in a 1 or 2 man corp just stay away from the major tradehubs unless you scout gates they wont actively hunt you usually unless you really pissed someone off they will just wait to blap a industrial or a mission ship undocking

Agree that the way wars decs need to be changed. But if they drop corp just bank them lol

No where actually I'm not even upset about it I was just stating a fact I'm in null where you don't need wardecs

I also have a alt corp in highsec that makes billions and doesn't have to undock so I could careless about wardecs there either

Funny how you say this, yet when there's a suggestion that those "larger and stronger players" should have some of their activities made a bit riskier, they flip out and start screaming about "the carebears". Let's face it, if you're a wardeccer you're about as risk averse as a career highsec miner, and should be treated as such (gankers are about the same tbh).

I've got no problem with PvP existing throughout the game, but come on man, pretending that wardeccers who spend all of their time hiding behind concord and going after easy kills are a shining example of that is laughable. All that wardecs do is mean that corporations that don't focus entirely on shooting other players can't feasibly exist in highsec, so people who are joining the game arrive in a place where there's less options to get into a group and play socially, and people wonder why retention sucks.

Stop whining, CCP have already made it so people can't duck wardecs by Citadels having to be in space at least 24h.
The 'Elite PvP' crowd have won and can now force every small corp to not have structures if they wish.

Exactly growth is hindered by existing hisec groups.
Mercenaries and gankers keep beginners from growing and the biggest joke, uh, i mean argument of course, :P is,
that EvE is harsh and newbs have to endure the griefing of the other hisec carebears, uh i mean dwellers.

Mercs and some gankers act and talk like they are the elite of New Eden, when themself do not leave hisec often.
Instead of fighting other mercenaries and hisec gankers, they go for the miners and haulers.

tl;dr
everyone not leaving hisec is risk averse, but very very prominent are code and mercenaries.

quite simple,

CCP likes griefing game play. They support gankers and griefers. Thats the real niche on the game market.

This is the basis for my thoughts in summary. For those who claim to love the pvp why is there an aversion to letting sproutling corps get a foothold and grow if only to provide a larger spectrum of targets later on. Ultimately yes ccp and the community love the pvp sandbox but it is not absolute, hence the existence of concord. Ingraining a way for corps to safely get a foothold and develop some structure and teamwork before being engaged by larger and more established groups doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
