hth

It would be a lot more constructive to simply point out "GSF don't recruit ingame" and move on with your life, or identify recruitment scammers from other corps, where this information wouldn't be just noise.


You beat me to it :(

Mine was going to look like this:

I too applied to be part of GoonWaffe and paid a sizable deposit. I was denied because I was a "bad poster" and my full deposit of 500 million was returned without hassle or delay. Despite my bad posting, the Goon recruiters liked me, and so ensured me a place in TEST Alliance. Thankful for their guidance, I donated my deposit money to GoonWaffe as a show of friendship. Getting denied by GoonWaffe and having my deposit returned was the best thing that ever happened to me in Eve Online.

I joined Goonswarm from the recruitment channel and they paid back my 500m security deposit - with interest. It was probably financed by the security deposits of failed applicants.
Don't be a spy or a badposter. Apply today.

Tough luck, OP.


Lol.

Seems legit.

I'm curious how you feel that someone might be scammed by goonswarm, read through your whole post and still risk getting scammed, but be saved by the list of alleged scammers.

Like even if everything you say about us was true it still doesn't make sense.

Goons are so dumb they can't even get their lies straight. Half are lying that Goons don't scam. Other half are lying that Goons do scam but they give back the ISK they scammed if you get accepted. Truth is, you don't need to pay 1 ISK to become a Goon. If you do, you deserve to be scammed. The end.

I paid a large deposite and also contracted my stuff to be carried out to null to the goon recruiter Internet Spaceship. That was over a month ago and I haven't heard a word from her since. Please add her to the list of scammers for this corp so she cannot do this to another poor pubie. Any in game donations would be great since now I have nothing thanks to the goons.

So if your thread gets **** up to uselessness by every goon, you consider that a win? I assume we're the trolls in your eyes. Wouldn't that make us the winners?

No, this just isn't adding up at all.

Edit: In other news, I'm posting this while on the toilet, so it is literally a shitpost.

So I noticed TEST is taking pages from GoonSwarm's recruiting manual. Got convoed yesterday by a member of TEST who offered me a position, had me provide an API and register an app, but then told me after reviewing my corp history (which is not excessively long, and is comprised of one long term corp which no longer exists and the remainder high sec carebear/pvp corps) was told that it was dubious and I could pay a 500 million ISK security deposit which would be returned + 10% interest.

Yeaaaaahh no thanks.


Not gonna share the name of the TEST member or her corp in this thread, though.

TEST should have to pay new recruits to join them.

I loves the nullsec pew pew as much as anyone and miss it, but I wont ever part with my hard earned iskies to join a nullsec corp/alliance. I was a bit surprised, considering how much hate you Goons get for your recruiting tactics.

I agree with the above poster's statement. Thanks for reporting the TEST issue as well.

To InternetSpaceship: please refrain from posting in my thread while on toilet, or at least don't share this with our respectable forum community. Not only does this make you sound like a 12 year old (which you most probably are), but it also makes your alliance, corporation and generally goons look very bad for making someone so immature an official scammer recruiter. Additionally, by sitting too long on a toilet, you may develop a nasty issue that will render you incapable of scamming people in EVE for at least a few times a day.

With this said, let's continue our discussion on this matter. Huge thanks go out to everyone who participates! <3
