Meh. I always assumed the people who fell for the goon recruitment scams were people who cold-called the goons looking to join because they heard about the goons elsewhere.

It should be pretty obvious if someone posts "looking for corp" in recruitment and you scam them 15 minutes later that you violated the rule. Recruit in local, set up a recruitment channel of your own, and follow the rule. Not that hard.

CCP is running a business. You know, mouths to feed and bills to pay? You're driving away noobs - their customers. Any other company would have deleted your accounts ages ago. Instead of giving CCP credit for tolerating you tards for this long, you whine about it.Roll

Btw, u mad bro?Bear


Nobody scams newbies you dumb ****. They don't have anything to scam.

They scam vets looking for new corps.


Uh scuse me?

What is this bs over the little so called statement of "we dont scam noobs"?

That's utter tripe.

Stop fooling yourselves.

You scam because you can...anyone...anywhere...anytime...except THERE....which is got your shorts in a twist to be sure.

Again...utter pathetic epic fail.

So if I stumble upon someone in local who's also in recruitment, and I scam them, what's to stop them from reporting me to CCP for "using the recruitment channel to target him"?

I personally think that all scamming that's not at a corporate security level should be banned.

No market scams, no corp joining scams, just no.

If someone wants to join a corp and take its' wallet, that is a different thing that has more to do with the corp internal security.

Preying on individuals is a different matter. It's not new player friendly and certainly shouldn't be allowed in the recruitment forum.

+1 CCP!

The only hard thing here is your thick skull[s].

Very dense if you ask me.... and I'm not speaking of materials either.

Nothing, but presumably if the chatlogs don't show you in Recruitment, and nobody in Recruitment saying "Go talk to Lord Zim," and nobody from Recruitment PMing you saying the name of the mark, and, and...

Yeah, that seems like a worthwhile use of labor.

A new player with PLEX might be, though they are more likely to buy faction mods for their Kestrel and then shoot at a billboard.

I lost a Redeemer to Goonswarm a long time ago, but this was one of my tens of billions of assets.

A new player does not have a lot of assets and will quit if they lose something so expensive, so that means less new accounts sticking to the game, meaning less money for CCP.

Also, I hate you guys DX

Supposedly there is going to be some sort of evidence being used to decide whether or not the recruitment channel rule has been broken, but I expect there's either going to be people innocently banned, or the rule is going to just be ignored, since the evidence used is going to be circumstantial.
