To the op - You need to decide what is fun for you as that will dictate how you respond. Imo pvp is the most fun part of the game, but from the tone of your message I assume all you want to do is mine - well there are many ways to this and be left alone. Basically, unless you have personally pissed someone off you are most likely dealing with hub huggers - these are pvp grps that war dec large numbers of seemingly active carebear corps in the hopes of easy fights in the trade hubs. The best thing to do with hub huggers is blue ball them - deny them fights and they will move on to something else. It is easy to deny them fights - for instance you can all drop corp and go to an npc corp for the duration of the war (keep in touch and organized through teamspeak, discord and/or in game channels) . Alternatively you can move to lowsec - its easy to live in lowsec and if you make friends with the local pirates, it can be quite fun. Hub huggers will not chase you into lowsec as a rule because they want easy fights.
The only thing then you have to worry about is about corp assets - first off a rat is only about 600 mil - so it is essentially disposable - use it in place of an ast which is about 1.2 bil. Make sure your rat and anything else (pocos, pos'es etc) are in a holding corp. Most likely you are drawing war dec because your corp is visible - either folk are being seen in the recruitment channels or in the hubs or elsewhere - a holding corp is largely invisible because it does nothing. This does not mean that someone cannot come out and look at your citadel and dec your holding corp because they certainly can do that, but hub huggers generally dont want to dec 1 man corps with no activity just to kill citadels (they are a pain to kill and drop nothing). In fact, in the highsec system next to where I live (lowsec) there many abandoned citadels and no one touches them because it is largely pointless and no fun. Finally, consider moving - there are many empty place in highsec where you can live - the father you are away from the hubs the less decs and harassment you will see.
Feel free to pm me in game if you have any questions.
PS One last note - putting "mining" in your corp name is like waving a red flag at a bull. Its funny, my friend is in a dedicated lowsec pvp - they deliberately including "mining" in their name even though the only mining they do is killing freighters. Its funny how many war decs they generate from folk who just glance at the name and dont even notice that they never leave lowsec. |

well i would say the name is increasingly inaccurate.

I'm not interested in avoiding game mechanics. I'm interested in knowing why the game is packaged and publicized in a way that seems to appeal to carebears / players with no interest in or knowledge of the warfare/pvp content in Eve, and who end up making/joining corporations only to be hurt.
I don't see the point in playing an MMO if I don't join a corporation. A corporation should be about being part of a community that you choose how to direct: this does not necessarily mean war.
This game should be advertized as a war simulator, not a freelancing machine.
My corp has lost about 30 members so far since the wardeccs started, and currently we have 5 going.
And what exactly am I supposed to do?
I want an answer from the game developers.
You wont get an answer from the game developers. Moreover, with the exception of suicide ganking all pvp combat in highsec is consensual - you never have to fight a war if you dont want to - in fact there are numerous ways to avoid decs - that you do not want to learn about them or utilize them is totally on you. Its kinda like jumping into the middle of a baseball game and then complaining because noone want to play football with you. The game is exactly as it is advertised - you can do whatever you want - but so can other people - and when people come into conflict you have tools to help you along - if you do not want to use those tools that is not the dev's fault. |
