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.
Awesome.
And mic breathers, coughers and other people DYING AT HOME on the mic get muted fast.

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.
See I started a corp for fun, but someone says you cant hold a district, well some of us do not care about PC. To me PC is worthless, its an ISK sink for the most part. You use your best gear and if you corp fails to reimburse you than your out of a lot of ISK if you lose, if you win you could break even or ahead, but most of the time you are still in the red. Lag is horrible and you walk away with a bunch of worthless salvage for there is no market to trade or sell it. Join a corp for fun and not to make ISK and you will be happier.

I'm really digging the replies for this thread, I didn't know players had so many reasons to be in a corp, I mostly thought dusters did it for the financial security, thanks for proving me wrong.
Although I still don't have a reason for joining one, I 'm glad to hear so many of you have great reasons, I hope corps receive more updates to make them more beneficial in the feature. |

the longest ive been in a npc corp was about 5-6 days and it was hell. I cant stand playing this game solo.
I can only please one person per day. Today is not ur day, tomorrow doesn't look too bright either.

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.
Wwhy not join us? We're all irregulars who have like 3-4 alts in the corp

I guess the tax rate thing may throw some people off of corps and with squad finder you don't really need a corp to grab a squad anymore. I joined my STB before either of these features existed... I needed a group where I could get a squad 99% of the time. I was leaving ZTCD and decided that I liked having a big corp behind me after putting out feelers with a number of corps I joined STB squad finder and corp tax came later, I never considered leaving because of them.
when I join a battle before I do anything I look at both teams and if it's a stomp I decline the contract and move on. there is sort of a sliding scale of player threat or perhaps to better phrase it player dedication to decide if I want to take the contract.
1) group of players from a well known corp
2) group of players from a lesser known corp
3) solo player from a well known corp
4) solo player from a lesser known corp
5) group of players from an npc corp (I assume they aren't squaded, I'm not often wrong)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10) solo player from an npc corp (truth is I probably wont read your name, unless you impress me)
players from npc corps can be good and I have nothing against players in npc corps but to me it represents a level of dedication to the game to join a player corp and dedication often translates to skill.
STB has given me no reason to leave so they have my loyalty and my gun. despite all the kind invitations that end up in my inbox

I joined two corporations, one was a small and inactive one. I liked the CEO, but I only spoke to him once.
I left it for Ivory Vanguard, which was a fine corporation but I never really made friends with any of the members. I was never excluded, but I didn't share in any of their humors.
I decided that I didn't want to be taxed to hang around with people I didn't really like.
Joining another corporation is not out of the question, but I would need to like the members a lot. I would need to be in love(platonically). |

Honestly? I'm in a corp, and there a few people I both like and respect there. However, I'm ready to admit that for now its just another chat channel. We'd like to go PC and maybe fight for a district, but honestly, even if we join in an alliance I can't guarantee we can field more than one or two squads in defense of that district soGǪplus there doesn't seem much to do with a district once you do get one. You can make extra clones to sell for ISK? Whoop de doo, what would I do with that much ISK that I couldn't do with the ISK I make off of Public Matches? Stock up more fits?
So, I'm in a corp but I can understand players who aren't. |

I can understand the people that choose not to be in a corp. In the beginning, I avoided it for months as I didn't think I was a good enough player to be among a corp. Then, I jumped into squads and my playing experience was a whole new world. I joined a corp after I jumped into a squad from a really well known corp (at least to me, as I've been on the losing side to them many a time). They invited me and it just wasn't fun. They were big and a few big shots were well known and played together but their newer players basically were left to their own devices. I felt abandoned and jumped into random pubs.
Then, I posted in the corps recruitment asking for a very active corp. I joined one and while the corp itself seems very quiet, the alliance is not. I find myself surrounded with good players to choose from. Every once in a while, still the small kid who I don't want to hear, but for the most part, its been a night and day difference. I have greatly improved my game, made great connections, been invited to a number of chats from the cool people I've met up with. During PC fights, our entire alliance is united. We talk, we share isk, we get squads together making sure the mix of players is going to lead us to victory.
It's absolutely refreshing and since I've joined them, I've capped out every week, something I haven't done before in my either 6+ months of playing. Right now, without this alliance and with the state of the game, I wouldn't be playing dust today.

In a corp for two reasons.
Money and Battles.
I get a paycheck, and I get regular battles and good squad-mates.
That's enough for me.

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.
I already have a day job without needing some in-game Sergeant-Major riding my balls about needing to log in at specific times for the Srs Bizness of Interwebz Warfare because capturing districts is more important than sleep. |

Joined two corps, both had great people. One merged with another corp a week after I joined and they were going into PC. Spent alot of time waiting to squad up with everything in a state o. flux. Second corp was cool but there wasn't anyone on when I was.
Keep telling myself to join another one, but never pull the trigger. Don't want to jump corp to corp, so I'm being picky. Also with RL commitments, don't want to be a slave to two masters. Being 40 yrs old doesnt help, because there isnt a lot groups I would fit in with.
Another thing I noticed. When I was with a corp, 9/10X I was on the stomping side, which is 10x worse than being stomped due to the boredom.
Lonewolfing does suck sometimes though. You have to have your own back, and nobody uses team voice.
Great job, team. Head back to the MCC for debriefing and cocktails.
