Having just left Goonswarm, I have something I feel I must get off my chest. And no, it's not some sort of condiment... this is serious...

Basically, there are some people who wish to make you believe that you must pay real money to get into their alliance. While that is one way, you don't have to. You can also pay isk.

It's frankly disgusting to me that so many alts are on the forums telling everyone that the "isk" deposit is a scam so that you will instead join some online website community that costs money. It's not a "scam" per se to pay the cash, because you can do that. But most of the alliance paid a refundable isk deposit and submitted to full api checks. During wartime, like now, these deposits are often understandably higher, and may vary depending on Goonswarm's proprietary risk assessment.

Anyway guys, that is all. I just want you to know.

Thanks

Hard to imagine a more boring post. Comedy isn't for you I'm afraid, but shelf-stacking pays its own rewards, so carry on and chin up!

I'm going to be going from corp to corp to teach the smaller corps a lot of the lessons I learned from the big boys. As a special introductory offer, I'm only going to charge 25 million isk to join your corp for a few days or so. In that time, I will help you assess your strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats. I'll help you recruit the types of players you want to give you a quick growth spurt and teach you how to continue this if you wish. There's a lot I can teach in a short time, so likely my consulting fees will only go up from here.

If you want to join a big nullsec alliance, I am not an official representative of any, but I am more than happy to put you in touch with revenant parties for free- my way of giving back.

Fly safe.

If you had intended this then it would be mildy amusing, maybe even 3/10, but you didn't, so it's still 0/10 I'm afraid.

Now, report to aisle 4 please.

I assure you I spent 10 seconds debating which word to use. Your mind reading skills are a 0/10.

Interesting! So Goons have worked out a way to get some real-life money from EvE, in a way that doesn't violate the EULA?

Those crafty buggers!

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

Anyone paying money or ISK to join any corp or alliance is a moron and needs to get scammed.

The worst part is that terrible threads like this wont even get locked...

BoBwins Law: As a discussion/war between two large nullsec entities grows longer, the probability of one comparing the other to BoB aproaches near certainty.

Just get some friends and derail it with a few posts about SOMER Blink, bad ISD moderation and off topic discussion.

Don´t have any friends? Well, for the low, low price of five million ISK per post, I can be your new friend!

Wrong forum. That is the generic C+P post not the generic GD post.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

OP is a troll. He didn't even mention that we accept bitcoins as well as isk.

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise
