I'm making this thread out of curiosity, how many of you dusters out there aren't in a corp and I'd like to know why, I'll start.
I see no personal benefit, corps bring nothing to the game other than ISK, while also lacking any real purpose to the players of Dust, nothing really changes once you join a corp, no new gear, no new contracts, I just can't feel for it. I also don't approve of corp-stomping, I don't car if it's happening to my team or happening to my enemies, it's just not fun in any way and alienates up and coming players. |

Carmraderie for one.
You'll never hold a district as a raging single.
You have better survivability in a squad, easier to get in a corp. Yeah we have squad finder but you are rolling the dice with your greenberries.
I'd get sick of only reading the dumb sh*t that gets posted in local chat. Pretty much the same as in a NPC corp chat too.
A corp can help pay for skill books and vehicles.
Lots more reasons but I'm tired of typing them on iPhone.

My corp we just dik about and have fun, easier to have fun when you can troll the living **** out of your Ceo, and he trolls you right back, just becomes some super expensive line of trolls.
We run nova knife commandos, rail rifle scouts, Free Lav spam galore, we jihad jeep anything and everything, we (just recently) camped atop the enemy MCC and used a blaster DS fo pester a redline rail. Not many people are on, but damn do we have fun.

This game is unbearable without playing with friends / corp members / fun people.
Hence joining a corp

This IS an mmo, which means interacting with people. The interactions with friends, even enemies, is often the best part of the game. While EVE is an amazing game, playing it alone limits you in so many ways. And the main reason I have played it for four years is because of the friends I have made and played with during that time.
I view dust in the same way. While you can play it alone, that is lonely, and it limits you. Playing with corpmates and friends adds more layers to the game and thus makes it more interesting and diverse. |

This, but I also play irregular hours and days, so I don't make a good corp member. As a general rule in any MMO, I start a solo corp and just populate it with ALTs. Like this one. |

I did the same thing, but somehow i still managed to get a few recruits. Mostly newberries though. I get them set up and they fly off into the universe. Sometimes they even want to come back. I think it's for the cake and punch. |

This. Although if there is a corp out there with some proper comms discipline I might be tempted to join. |

I agree with all your points, Its so easy to find friends and squad up in this game, I never have trouble finding a squad.
For alot of people they have absolutely no benefit from a corp. I mean **** its a videogame, I don't want it to be like a job I don't want anyone telling me who to squad up with and what factions to fight for, and nobody's taking my hard earned isk.
Its so easy to squuad up with a corp, I jump into a squad in battle, I have a mic and I'm a decent player so they try to recruit me, I say no. then they send me an invite to their public channel and invite me to play in the future, now I can squad up with them any time, why would I need to join their corp?
The only benefit I could see would be a new player joining a corp for training, but even training can be easily found, for example this great channel "the learning coalition" |

I find it a little Ironic here I am now a CEO and reading you post I identify completely. There was very little I liked about the DUST community and found it extremely immature compared to average EVE players.
I have been a long time player of EVE and a member of the alliance within it for years. When DUST first came out, it was a curiosity for all of the alliance members, and I am the only one among them that literally bought a PS3 just for DUST to see what it was all about.
I didn't like it at all. Hearing babies cry over the headset, little kids , etc really turned me off. The lack of professionalism compared to EVE totally stunned me, the concept of clear comms was alien to them, FC's didnt exist, I couldnt see the point of a squad leader when everyone did what they wanted any way. The whole thing was to me absurd and when I tried to explain to them how EVE tactical comms work they would be rude and say go back to EVE,
I simply put the game down and didn't touch it for nearly 6 -7 months. There was nothing about the average DUST player I wanted to be anywhere near.
Then more changes began to come in, more overtones of increased DUST and EVE integration, and my alliance started to see how DUST and EVE could be interacting in the future, and asked me to develop that angle preemptively as they knew I was a DUST player.
I didn't want to. But I said to myself, "OK, here's the deal, I'll simply recruit an existing DUST corp into the alliance and join it as a liason"...
That didn't work well, dust officers exist in a bubble that they think they are far more supreme then they really are, and couldn't understand why I needed to be in control of the contracts. When I explained that I represent a large alliance with very expensive ships and many years invested that could be comprimised, they simply didnt care.
So, I formed a corp EVE side and after a while finally met a player that not only understood , but was awesome on comms. Then another, and another.... now our growth rate is phenomenal.
As squads we make much more ISK per battle then when simply a single player joining a squad in pubs. That im sure is because we know how one another thinks, what we each tend to use and how we all fit into a squad, you dont often find that in public squads.
EVE alliance seeks mercs, join Stellar and Orbital Strategic Services today!

this...
I have been in 3 other corps made by people....
one was to small and just getting started, but he's done good things and I wish him the best.... one was to small and not that active and haven't seen them in a while...hope y'alls ok... one was big and full of cocky wanna-be tough azzholes who wouldn't make through bootcamp that still think it's cool to talk about getting blow jobs..getting them is, but I don't wanna hear about it....
think I've made more than 20 but this one....this is my last one.....
I may not be entitled to it...but I know the lore behind it..and this corp needs to be in Dust....and someone had to do it.....
Please remember people.....this is just a game....relax, put down the sticks, and go hug somebody...

There really is no 'real reason' to join a corp at this time. You do get new contracts though if you join a corp that does PC on a regular basis. But I find that social channels are the real reason to play DUST. It is almost like a corp except you have no liability to them. I prefer to float around and play with many different people sometimes. I put LFS in many different chats and whatever it is they are doing I will participate in. Merc and proud. I go where the fun is. |

Some people just don't want to have to deal with the drama.
I kind of liked being in an NPC corp when I was in one. People saw "Ametat Security" (or whatever NPC corp I was in) and assumed that I was a noob. They underestimated me :P

I don't have time to invest into a corp. I'm not a teenager anymore. In Dust, it's actually really ******* hard to get by without a corp, because the communication system is such a ******* horrible atrocity that you can't expect any kind of coordinated effort without going into the field with people that you already know well. I really feel that I miss out on much of the game because I'm isolated from everyone else, even when joining a squad.
And that's why I play sniper.
Seriously, where has the time of "press t to chat" gone? This game supports keyboard. Why the hell can't I just type a quick message for either my team or everyone to read? Dust runs in HD. There is enough room for text messages. If you think there isn't, just remove some unnecessary bloat from the HUD. There's plenty of it. |

If I wasn't in a Corp I would have burned my PS3 by now because blue dots are the worst thing to ever happen to a video game.

Sometimes the Outriders have three whole people online. It's a rare day but it does happen. Mostly it's just myself and maybe people I know in chat channels.

Mostly I'd hate having to hear coms. If it weren't open mic I wouldn't mind but I don't need to hear mouth breathers and crying babies when I play. Though I should mention the one time open mic was useful was when some kind name Michale got mouthy with his mom when she distracted him. She chewed him out for a good ten minutes and I got to hear every word. It was great. |

Dude I have been in so many annoying corps. I was in one Corp where they refused to play anything outside of the Oceana server -_- Then I had a corp where I went up against three of them in a skirmish, while I was running only militia gear and only had random people on my team... We red lined them hard.

Uprising was crap. If I didn't have my corp I would have fled long ago. This new patch sucks but I still log in just to chill with the Wolves.
We have been making our own contracts. 5mil for the first to 5tanks destroyed. It was a frantic race to pop tanks. It made the game serious and fun at the same time.
We train alot of guys. Some of us have been here since the open beta or longer. There is alot of information new players need to know. We have streamlined their development. A decent corp can save you millions in isk and months of your life.
There was a time we fought good tankers. Now we just fight good tanks.

tryhards, COD rabble, and noobs are all that recruit much these days. the good corps closed their doors a long time ago. like in 2012. the tactical players have all been swept up, leaving whats left over- tryhard chatter and wannabe comedians, not a tactic run all day. why do they even join corps for? also these leftover ppl hate on MDs, lavs, and dropships that i have 15mil sp invested in. they take they're 5 million sp heavy and insist on running 300m over open ground intstead of taking the transports i offer.

Truly there are corps with people i like but also within those corps there are people i don't like. so i just stay out of the corp and squad with the people i like.
30mil SP 1.7bil in my wallet Solo corp and i am having fun playing dust.
Although i would not recommend this life style to many and if any new player asked me if he should join a corp i would highly suggest it because i do understanding having a corp brings many benefits and going solo can both be difficult and not fun fun for many people.
