EVE New Citizens Q&A

I dont get it, why Employment history is visibe, not good for rookie players, when veteran seas someone with EH of week or month he knows it could be easy target, so this should be hidden, if corp wants to see my EH then i should be able to send/show them.

Rookie players have no emplayment history, so how this effects them i have no idea.

Charachter age actually means nothing anymore.

usually means lower skill points, game knowledge

It can also mean...

- alt character of a veteran (see: spy!)
- disposable cyno alt (see: extreme threat, primary on sight!)
- scout and/or alt character scout for a roaming gang (see: eyes and bait, better shoot it just to be safe)
- bored veteran having a giggle (see: it's a trap!)


In all seriousness... lower skillpoints and experience does not mean a new player is a mewling kitten with no capacity to defend him/herself.
Are they easier targets? Yes. But they have tools at their disposal and they simply need to pick them up and come up with a plan... just like I and every other newbie did before.

ok, if you say so, with all the tools and injectors etc... i still think character should be able to make it visible or hidden this is the point.

A three year old player complaining that employment history can't be hidden is slightly suspicious to me.

whtvr, tell me a reason why this should be public ? im not walking with my CV in public places

People, people, let's compromise the usual way:

- Employment history is visible with an API check. Like your wallet, what skills you're training, your emails, etc.

It's an academic issue.

To the OP: you're asking for something that goes a bit against the spirit of the game. You don't have a choice to have PVP happen to you, you don't have a choice but to appear in the Local chat channel even if you're cloaked, you don't have a choice when locator agents give away your position to your enemies, you don't have a choice when someone places a bounty on your head, and so on.

You want to hide what you've done in the past... guess what, they will remember your name, and they will see A LOT more details from your killboard stats, from the API check that every corp requires, from your IP address when you join their forums, etc.

But hey, thanks for posting and letting us know you're a thief, awoxer, and spy, that took a lot of courage. You have our respect.

Why not. It's much more 'free intel' than watchlist. Let's get rid of local, overview, and dscan too. They don't require any skills to use and they just give so much FREE INTEL!
