OK, so just where IN-GAME do I go to hire these services?

Use the forum / google to find them or ask around. Many have wide spread reputations.

What guarantee do I have they are reliable and not a scam?

Welcome to EVE, Guarantee's are for weaker MMO's. Reputation alone should keep any established corp in line.

There is no in-game corp directory or "help-wanted" features for what you say exists. Contracts do not cover these sevices.

Perhaps you should ask for a directory instead of infringing on player careers.



I said IN-GAME!!!

Using the forum/google is not a game requirement and if it is, then CCP should say so. I want to play the game not research the forums/google for things that should be IN THE GAME!!.

Perhaps this is what it all boils down to.


An ingame directory of corps, their services along with a player run rating system for them (1 to 5 stars) is needed.

A "help wanted" feature should be added (perhaps with contracts) as well.

I could see a rating system being gamed, but hell, not even ebay has got that issue licked, and it's practically their entire business…

…so that just puts it in line with other EVE contract scams and makes it something else players have to learn to navigate, so it fits nicely. P

Other than that, supported.

Corp Service Directory and Reviews would be great for player business and help quite a few unknowns get off the ground and compete.

The problem is how to deal with alt boosting of your rep.

The only way i see it working is having the ability to rate only after accepting a service, so it would have to be contract based somehow. One contract, one rating permission. It wouldnt be open to everyone, just out-of-corp customers. In other words, you cant rate your own corp.

Hopefully the think-tank at CCP can come up with better solutions to keep it from getting abused.

So I use an out of corp Alt.

This would just institutionalize rep grinding for pulling off heists and scams. I'll pass.
