I know it's rather laborious to get into test through Dreddit, but my RvB alt got recruited into a test corp right off the bat.

And yes - I gave them my API...

PlanetCorp has no such requirements, but we are also ultra compartmentalized. So the impact of a spy, troll, or thief is... negligible.

I did some things I'm not proud of...


Like how yesterday, on my alt I auto piloted all the way to deklein (just wanted to explore, hopefully see some cool s**t) and some guy from Goonswarm messaged me asking me to pee on him.

I swear this happened.

Did I do it?

*shrug*

I then got blown up by some territorial unit...

and got podded 30 seconds later by a smartbomb.

I wasn't even bothering anyone dude.

I don't want to seem like one of the parasites, but then I want to join to good sized group simply because they're active and established and can spare time to actually teach.

The downside to this is things like this Reddit requirement. Dude I don't really have loads of time to actually play, I now have to find time to post on a forum in order to join as well?? It's their thing, w/e, that's their right. I just can't do it. I just want to play. ALl of this hoop jumping is stupid.

I get the point about the API though. I concede. Several EXP players have emailed me explaining the reasons why, and I appreciate it very much.

Cuz bad players still think the API will do something to prevent spys.

Nothing can prevent a determined infiltrator, but without API checks it would be about 20x easier to infiltrate/spy.

Another upside of API checks is to monitor for thieves, and mitigate the damage they can do.

I gave it a few seconds of thought and I reckon transaction history would be the best way to identify if a character is an alt, who they hang out with, the names of any alts the character has and if the character just so happens to have the bhaalgorn that just went missing yesterday

Yeah I'm pretty clever I know I know

Also re. the assertion 'nothing can prevent a good spy', I imagine a basic check prevents bad spies that could still have taken your stuff if you hadn't made a check

What's the problem with showing your wallet history anyway, do you spend most of your isk on spacesmut?

Looks like someone switched to an alt and cleaned up their posting style after thoroughly burning another character with foul mouthed, self opinionated hypocritical rants in the hilarious Miners Unite thread.

Look I can do the alt thing to.

They said I could be anything I wanted, so I became fabulous.

Yes, because they're a gaming community of their own and they want like-minded individuals in their corp, not just random riffraff like the rest of us corps and alliances.

Sooo....teamspeak doesn't Achieve the same results?

Eve already has forums. Aren't we a "gaming community"?

What I don't get is why people keep saying Alliances like Test and Goons are so friendly to noobs.

How is asking me to post on a forum I'm not even interested in for 3 months just to join noob friendly? Same with Goons, pay 10 bucks to join this site to join, blah blah blah. The corps in their alliance also tend to have ridiculous requirements (Like Wildly).

Like I said, I just want to play. I just want to find some chill ass guys to blow stuff up with. I don't need isk. Don't need my hand held.
I don't want to be part of your little forums cool kids club.
I don't want to waste 3 months of my life kissing your ass on some forums (let's be honest that's all the prospects are doing on Reddit and SA...that's why they're there).

I just want to play EvE.
I just want to play man.

My RL employer didn't ask for my bank account details, so I was able to steal the company yacht and sail it to Dubai where I promptly sold it for two billion ISK.

If you apply for a job in real life that requires you to be security cleared, they may run a credit check on you anyway.

They're not that invasive. At least they didn't ask for proof of residency.

Protip: anchor a can in a SS and drop things for your alt in there, station logs are recorded in your journal so don't do it there

Skill books, PLEX, drop in the can. Then pick it up with the alt.

Though the alt should buy most skillbooks itself

Because you're not being asked to post on a forum to join. The idea is that you should already be a member of that community.
