EVE General Discussion

I had a silly idea when I read the OP. What if you could pay off concord?

We have a 24 hour war stasis period, where 50mil or more is automatically frozen for the wardec ahead and the dec is ALREADY pending, but what would happen if during that 24 hour period you could travel to a Concord station and bid up the war dec fee with a counter offer, aka bribe, to Concord to call the entire thing off. This offer is then sent to the deccing corp to be in turn bid up or just let go of the war dec. This can happen as many times as you want during the 24 hour build up period.

Ultimately its a matter of how much is it worth to you? is the question of the day.

All of the winners isk bid goes to Concord and becomes an isk sink, either to wardec or provide immunity bribes and at least 10% of the next highest bidders isk would also go to ensure that both sides do "pay" for the fun game of bidding on a war dec.

Basically you could ironically raise a war deccers fees to insane amounts or you could screw over some indy corp out of hundreds of millions of isk to "save themselves". And in the end its basically playing chicken or all in or fold poker with your war deccers.

Another idea I had was to let it be public record and have anyone bid on a war dec/immunity fee. But either way itd add a gamble to a war dec situation and an isk sink to CCP for playing it.

Yes in the end you would only be tossing isk at the problem and most people wouldnt bother or care but some would and itd be a funny thing to see how much you could get someone to pay for either given interesting circumstances. It would favor isk rich corps/alliances or players in order to toss isk away but then is that something thats new now? No not really. But I think a bit of a gambling mini game would be hilarious to see and might actually make it a bit more interesting than what it is now. And seeing as each player, corp or alliance would have a different "break even" point on the relative worth of a dec or immunity it might make for some interesting player interactions solely on that level. And making it public to some point at least means that you could have bragging rights in C&P on both sides of the bargaining table.


Either way was a funny idea that came to me just now.

You forget that new players are poor, they couldn't bid.
Unless they play the "pay to win" game (buying PLEX with RL money to sell it in game for ISK). What a sense of achievement

How stupid are you?

It's already totally possible to be exempt from wardecs.

No one has suggested anyone be allowed to be exempt from pvp (well...at least not in this thread). Where did you get that from?

As to what you are missing. I would suggest a brain as a good starting point. No, I am not suggesting people are willing to sacrifice anything. Wardecs should be in the game as they are and no-one should be able to buy immunity from them.

The OPs suggestion is not needed and CCP previously proposed an alternative system in the game that would totally achieve what he wants (and more), without sacrificing any of the existing exposure of player Corps to wardecs. All player owned Corps should be subject to the wardec mechanics. That's the choice made when a Corp is formed and no amount of whinging should change that.

All I see here is someone who can't even spell "lose" calling out another poster for being "dumb" and a "dribbling moron".
Hilarious.

I'm sure you can argue your case without resorting to personal insults.

So I see.

I see numbers will rise again.

In Doomheim.

Acompanied by "**** EVE" on the tombstones, as someone said to me in game recently.

So many players hate this wardec systems, so many players are forced to dock up for a week to avoid their copr to be permadecced...

...1 week of paid gameplay unable to play...

...only totally stupid game developers can ignore something like that in a subscription based mmo...

...but they seem to ignore it anyway...

They are probably overconfident about players attachment to this game.

I fail to see where I was wrong regardless...move along troll.

It alleviates the difference in the way you think and the victims of wardec system think. You will not come to agreement without CCP help I see, you have never been able to do that. Like a childrens.

Maybe its too much unrestrained pathology, even on forums, it comes out for you more and more because there is less prey. People are tired of this ****. I dont blame them.

Players in NPC corps, they dont ever evaporate.

If I would design wardec system I would allow creation of one more kind of player corporations that are essentially today NPC corps in the design together with tax, but they allow for inviting, logo and name player would like to see himself. Also medals, roles and a player tax on top.
