Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'm sorry that you feel you have been discriminated against, but this is EVE where theft, AWOX'ing and spies are all common place. It takes alot of time and effort to build and maintain a successful corporation and I feel that CEO's and recruiters deserve the right (as paying customers just like you) to protect what they have built. And if you exhibit behaviour similar to that of one of these "shady" player types then I don't think it unreasonable for people to be suspicious of you, your intent and your allegiances.

I completely understand that you have a life outside of EVE and yes you are correct, it is just a game. A game with varying play styles. What you deem as "unrealistic goals" will suit other players just fine and in fact that is probably exactly the play style they are looking for. Otherwise they probably wouldn't have joined that corporation. I hate to say it, but by the sounds of things you did not do your homework before joining that corporation. If you had talked with them for a little while, asked them what was expected of you, their goals, just basically gotten to know them a little before joining then you probably wouldn't have had this problem. But what's done is done and no amount forum posts will change that.

In any case you want this to be changed so that only CEO's (and I assume recruiters) can see your history when you apply to their corp. I do not see how this will alleviate problems with people denying access to corporations based on your corporation history.
I would be totally against a one year rolling corporation history. As others have pointed out it's nice to be able to judge if you're fighting a one month old newbie or an eight year old vet.
Not only that, I know The Volition Cult run an NRDS policy, which is based off of corporation history. So your changes would more then likely make securing the providence region just that bit more difficult.

So those are my reasons against your idea. I'll admit a little more long-winded then I had first intended, but I got into a serious thing and then I forgot how it ended. ^_^

Let me put it this way OP.

It will never work because there are websites that already track activity of all players, assuming this would happen they would just save entire corp history on servers since it's minimal amount of data, those wanting to check would just run queries on your ass and the checks would amount to the same effect.

It would quite literally have zero effect on any recruiter that uses his head.

That and it would be annoying checking age of characters ingame.

Screw this idea OP you didn't think this through.

nope, if you f-up its your own problem, however if there is an idea, how about add in an new "corp" which shows that this character was sold on the forums.

Nope, and this comes from a player with some 26 corps in 6 years.

9 were npc corps, 3 were returning to a former corp, 3 were falied corps, 4 were mergers and the others were in the pursuit of fun\changing desires\out growing corps\corps out growing me etc.

If you have a long corp history, you just need to talk to who ever you're applying to.

Failing that, sell your char and buy a new one if it bothers you that much.
