Lossfarms, multiple alts, noshows...4 of my last 5 ws were lossfarms/oneman ws😭
It does not encourage the majority of new players to continue.

Larger corps benefit from the second slot due to them having 30+ members and want to run more WS’s, especially since it already takes a heck of a long time to level up at those levels

Most of the time, they don't want to run more WS, they just want to collect a few more XP to level up, and a 2nd ws allows it.
Won't take long to kill WS

I know the benefits from slot2. More xp and more artboost. I also know some corps run 2 good ws in a week, it's allright.
I'm just saying slot2 takes away some fun due to lossfarm.
There would be probably fewer lossfarms without slot2,
Most of the ws i ran since a while were against lossfarm and "team2".
So my point is,it does more harm than good.

I would agree with this. Most big conglomerates have multiple corps anyway, so they could still run multiple WS a week, although it would slow down the growth of their Flagship corps. Or maybe slot 2 unlocks at a certain corp level.

Yes, could be ok.
Or a system where a team1 could not face a team2, "et vice-versa".

Don't try to cure a defect by only caring for the symptoms:
Your conclusion is correct that the problem is the loss farm WS. So don't cancel the second slot ... remove the ability to get points by playing sitting duck.
- Instead add a points deduction for losing a match. Not that much that it's too difficult to compensate a loss with a win. Maybe a win can compensate two lost matches. Or something like that.
- Maybe even increase the number of slots ( and reduce the number of players in a team ... and allow more ships per player ).
- This could help to allow smaller corporations to run two WS with enthusiastic players.
- And larger corps could even run three matches if they like.
- Helps everyone to have a bigger chance to find a suitable opponent.
- Helps everyone to increase the chances of getting a week of artefact bonus.
