This is the point.
WE ARE MERCENARIES.

If we were just soldiers, then money probably wouldn't even be mentioned. In fact in COD and BATTLEFIELD money isn't even mentioned or used (except in black ops 1) and that's because it is generally understood that those guys are soldiers of a given country therefore taxes pay for their equipment etc (all though the vets on here know that sometimes you gotta pay for your equipment, and body armor).


Mercenaries fight for money. they have no incentive other than fighting for the highest bidder. Therefore, mercenaries teaming up and donating money without a payout makes no sense. honestly... if you want to fight for people of the same side FW does that choose one side and queue them.


Tell me who YOU individually GAIN from your corp

Incorrect.
This has been discussed, but it is not currently possible.

I get weekly paychecks.

CORP

... PC = 2mill a match (its more than that but suit losses stack up) + all vehicles refunded + a little extra from the corp... Can happily do 2-3 of an evening, more on a weekend. If i want too, not forced to.

Instantly can find a squad of people i know and have faught with before...

Lots of peeps that have my back, new friends out of game too.

Advise, backing, help, tactics... the question is why wouldnt you join a corp?

In real life mercenaries work for huge corporations. In the past they've always worked for someone. Someone had to take and negotiate contracts.

In Dust, I believe the mercenary part of the equation means that the individual is free to fight for whatever faction, join whatever corporation, and use whatever gear they want to use. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to take a look at the mechanics of this game and see that being in a corporation is better than not being in one.

I'm not going to go into a long spiel about the benefits of a corporation. It should be obvious. I will say that being in a 15 man corp with an average SP total of 6 million is a HUGE waste of time for all involved, but still better than going at it solo.

Some people do not have the social skills necessary to be a part of a group however. You sound like the type of person that would ALWAYS second guess everything that someone else suggests without offering anything of substance in response.

I think if you polled the player base you would find yourself in the vast minority.

This makes sense. Please post your link here. This sounds reasonable if the precentages are significant but still small, you can give a mercenary a monetary incentive to joining a corp.

so what individual benefits do you receive from being in a corp?

I mean honestly:

• you don't get extra money at the end of each game for playing with members of your corp
• you don't earn extra SP
• PC is hit or miss, and 3 ambush matches if you do well can earn you the same amount of money
• you get taxed.
• only the best players get paid, and that's only if the CEO is rich and has an eve player.
• Your sacrifices don't really get compensated. (if you lose 3 tanks worth 5 million isk, who pays that back?
• you need at least 500 million Isk to start PC (wthout an aliance) and sustain a defense of your territory.
• to be successful in PC you need an eve aliance
• corp roles do not give you anymore money or WP
