I view the population of deckers as being less than that of
mages (mages are born, deckers are made). Green/Easy hosts
won't be on alert very much, cuz they're cheese and have
nothing of interest. There might be a chance that an
Orange host is on alert when you log on, but due to the low
population of deckers I think it would be low. And Red
hosts won't be on alert much because deckers don't hit
those without a good reason, unless they're so good that
they do it for fun.

Heck, even if you still feel that systems would be on alert
alot, make it part of you game. Have a decker log on to a
host and tell him someone else is fragging with the system
right now and that he's got trace, ripper, killer and
psychotropic IC coming at him, oh yeah, and it's on active
alert too. He would have been better off staying in bed
that day.
