This is actually something I don't want and I explain why in the 6th post

Metagame

So you want an easy ride, yes? I am ok with some dirty little secrets you want to keep. But it is strange you want to keep others from telling them out loud.

If you can't keep your secrets yourself and get catched red handed you deserve to be ratted on

If you didn't know already, you can look up a Merc's employment history...in EVE.

Yes, I do check people's out a if I suspect them of corp-hopping...and its very easy to see those who do.


As for the comment box...IDK. Too much room for baseless abuse.



EDIT: For example; Robert JD Niewiadomski has been in the Edimmu Warfighters and NULLIMPEX INC, and Daedric Lothar has been in the Tal-Romon Legion and Onslaught Inc.

Not that hard...

I don't see this as an issue, why not judge each player individually based off of merit not their employment history. If you're looking for a dream team of perfect players I'm afraid your not going to find as many players as you think. Also, each corp has a different culture and that culture may not fit each persons personality.

Based off of how they perform, why do you care what corps people have been in? Kinda seems like you're being an elitist.

If you see someone was kicked out of kickass corp (need an exact definition for this ) you should think twice before accepting her/him into yours or at least keep an eye on her/him if you are mercifull merc keen on giving n-th chance to people

There are very valid reasons for a Director or CEO to be looking at corp history before accepting someone.

Just because you don't think its a needed thing, or that it shouldn't be considered, doesn't mean others think the same way.

The option should be there, and almost certainly will be eventually, but for now go bug a pilot lol

I agree the options should be there for corp leaders and their associates. My argument is more about judging someone based off of their employment history rather than their performance.

Not sure what AWOXING is

Well from my experience I typically treat new people like I would any other player with an exception. That exception would be a probationary period where players are evaluated. Maturity, judgement and attitude. If your worried about spies, or former enemies just sit them on the bench furring PC battles. I'm curious are you a CEO? And how do you run your corp as an example? I am not a CEO and new to DUST so I'm curious how you conduct recruiting and employment. I'd also like to add recruiting off any local channel is probably not the best idea.

eve characters can check employment history. you just need an eve account.

A lot of us know that, as well as that its coming to Dust being an inevitability. I don't think it unreasonable to raise priority .

Blah, you can pay for stuff in Dust already. They have the elite pack for $99. I see a $17.99 EVE account as being just another P2W strategy you can employ. Cough it up cheapskate.

I think this is a symptom of something else that people/corps will want: Dust API keys.

So, now that we've established your lack-of-point as completely inane, let's get back to allowing the Dust-only players that can't figure out how to talk to EVE players to see corp history, thus decimaring yet another of their meritless excuses for eliminating meta entirely and turning this into Call of Halo with added Carebear sauce.

EDIT:
And those packs are not pay to win. They're equivalent ot standard-level gear. Suck less.

Whatever dude, it takes me like 4 minutes to make a new Dust account that your API can't check and you can't employment history. Then I can just AFK in the MCC to get enough stats for a Basic Protosuit and then do whatever I feel like.

This is like DRM, you are going to put all sorts of rules and regulations on stuff to try and protect people, but it isn't going to work. It is just going to screw up the people who really are playing while the real pirates just laugh their asses off that there is nothing you can do to stop them.

And if you make it that you can only have 1 account per playstation, so what, I actually have a couple sitting around.

And why is this corp accepting the nobody with no corp history, no SP, etc., and then letting him in on the corp fights on top of it?

HA.. KK bro, its not like its that hard to get a couple mill SP to get into a corp battle. Though luckily enough, I'm to lazy and honestly just don't care enough to take the time to join your corp as one of my alts to AWOX you.

OR am I?

I get that you're a Call of Halo kid, so these are foreign concepts to you, but basic screening techniques and standards will catch what you're describing almost every time, even without corp history and API access (though it's helpful to have).

Man, you are really making me want to reconsider my stance on just not caring enough to try it. I love challenges, especially because I can be a really friendly and helpful guy when I wanna be and you have no idea what I sound like.

Better triple check all your screenings that you get for the next couple months.

Do it! It's legitimate gameplay! Seriously. All we're talking about here is providing the basic tools for basic screening. A skilled spy can still get in and cause damage, if he's good and works at it. What we're talking about are the basic tools that mitigate just how easy it is right now. Most of the whinging is from two camps: the carebears that want complete immunity, and those that simply don't screen or find it too much work. You can't help the failtards that want it removed entirely, but they'll eventually quit anyway and we'll be better off for it (a common truism in EVE is that every time WoW player quits eve to go back to WoW, the average IQ of both games improved; gotta love math humor ). For the others, offering more of the basic tools diminishes their already-meritless arguments, by making it easier to screen for obvious spais, and thus placing the blame more solidly on their own laziness and poor recruiting standards and practices.

I don't think its nessecary, I like the dual corp thing that most people are doing nowadays. Its easy, its efficient and it works. Plus in Dust there isn't much you can do. I mean I EVE you can join a mining corp, wait for a run, kill everyone, take all the loot and kill their rorqual (If you get a little lucky) and make off with Fat loot and alot of minerals and then when they ship up to kill you. Since you can't be ejected from the corp till you have a change state you can just murder them and loot all their T2 stuff from their combat ships. Billions of ISK in damages

And if you are a good spy, well you can do ALOT more damage, like telling where mining opps are going, pointing out blue fleets just using the map while you run plexes. Blocking off trade routes. All sorts of fun stuff. The damage could be in the tens of billions over a few months. And thats if you can't get a good corp theft going.

In Dust, you can shoot guys for a couple times and cause them to "maybe" lose a district they will get back tomorrow anyways. Maybe you can get a corp theft, but only the cheap Dust wallet.

Well anyways, Good luck to you, have a good life.
