EVE Online is a social game pitting Player vs Player in a somewhat sealed sandbox environment. Now not all PVP is done in ship combat. Some take the forms of economic battles others are a battle of wits that spill over on to this very forum. If you don’t understand all aspects of PVP in EVE, someone may have an upper hand over you.

The PVP element I want to address in one of my up coming Podcasts Down the Pipe) is the Worm Hole AWOXER/Corp Thief. It’s a valid form of PVP in EVE. Some find it distasteful, but most accept it as just another thing that makes EVE great.

I’m not looking to out anyone, or judge anyone. I’m looking to get a first hand perspective from the eyes of the person doing it. Ask some fun questions, hear some first hand stories.

I know this channel is filled with people who just troll, and that’s another form of valid EVE pvp, whatever floats your boat. This request isn’t for trolls to nominate their friends as WH awoxing/corp thieves. I’m seeking a few pilots who don’t mind bragging about conquests, sharing secrets and just having a fun voice interview.

I understand that anonymity is important for your chosen PVP life style, so contacting me with an alt is ok. But at some point we are going to need to know you are the real deal. I’m not sure how to do this, any suggestions from C & P gang would be great.

This may be a lost cause, but in an effort to provide worm hole podcast content, I thought discussing this very real WH PVP style might be atleast fun to listen to.

Tell me what you think.

Potential invitees please message me in game.

Thank you, and keep making EVE interesting!

Good Luck with your Podcast.

There a couple of threads about WH thiefs in here being posted by the victims as a warning. You could always start of from the victim point of view about what happened and then go ahead on the accused if he wants to and ask the how.

Most WH heist are not as extravagant as people think they are. It is just people being way to trust worthy. What makes robbing wh corp so easy is the fact that as a member you automatically get access to the hanger where other store their ships so you can... ahem store yours.

This is an myth that only applies to corps that have no idea how to setup their POSs/hanger access.
Stealing things that are actually worth enough to make it worth while in a WH takes much more effort than in kspace due to the paranoid nature of good WH corps and the difficulty of getting it all out un noticed.

Also, if youre in a c5 or c6 wh corp, anything youre ever going to be able to steal without somehow getting director roles is going to be insignificant compared to how much isk you can actually make by just being in the corp and knowing how to do PVE properly.
I have been in several c5/6 corps and have know several people who stole ships that were worth less isk than the PVE payouts they were due for that week/month, even though they were T3s and faction BSs.
