Originally by: omgfreemoniez How much isk would you have to be able to make from doing it for you to betray your:
CORP? BEST FRIEND? FRIEND?
I'm just curious lol. Anyone answering with their mains will be laughed at by me.
For me it would be 5bil+, wouldnt do it ever, 5bil+
(Posting with my main because I think it's important.)
This is actually a very good, intelligent question people should think about.
I've heard integrity defined as what you do when no one is watching. To me, integrity is really what you do when you think there are no real consequences for your behavior. Like in an online game, where you can sell your character, biomass, or simply walk away from.
To me, it doesn't say much about who I am or my character if I'm willing to backstab my friends simply because I can get away scott-free with it. Additionally, the most solid currency in this game, more so than ISK or even time, is trust. Once you spend it, it's really hard to earn back.
(These are my own personal values, and I'm not pushing them on any of the readers.)

Quoting absolute truth.
It's interesting that relationships in Eve are built without knowing what people look or sound or really act like and you only have what they type and how they behave in game to go on. This is the reason plenty of people seem to be utterly moronic because they just hurr durr and fly bad fits etc etc. Despite this, some of my good friends in Eve seem to have me pegged down perfectly and probably 'get me'. Then again I probably disclose too much to these internet psychos.

If ISK is your motivation, then you're doing it for the wrong reason and you will never be more than a common, petty thief. We of the Yakuza understand these things. You, clearly, do not. Back to the fields, peasant.

Current Corp - Price wouldn't matter (wouldn't steal it). But when I think of some of the old corps I been in then 2bill plus. Depends how much isk came into the wallet, if it could multiply quickly then I would sit on it for a while.

That makes sense.
The trouble with EVE, for me, is that the way EVE works, it's rather difficult to meet people in a way that seems to offer the possibility of forming a friendship at all.
If you don't know anyone in-game at all (which I don't), you're in an odd sort of limbo where anyone you might *want* to talk to... doesn't want to talk to you, because they have no way to know you're not another scammer or would-be thief or spy, so they'll stick to people who are already linked to the network of contacts they already have.
While the people who do try to talk to you tend to be people who see you as a target, one way or another.
For the record, I wouldn't betray a friend for any price, and I wouldn't betray a corp that hadn't somehow done a hell of a lot to deserve it... but none of you know me, so why would you believe me? This is EVE.

I'd scam you for a Utu.. Of course I'd get bored after that, realize you are better at PvP than me and give it back, but DEMAND YOU FLY IT AND MAKE VIDEO.
TBH I'd "scam" anyone for the lols. Its the people I like that get their stuff back.

CORP? perhaps if I were in some ****ty corp which I couldn't give 2 cents about... anything above 1b really BEST FRIEND? not for all the isk, utu's or any other unique ship in eve FRIEND? some of the guys I've met in game are some of my best friends IRL, so I'd never think of ripping them off
On the other hand if I were to join some corp described in the first sentence, I'd probably screw them over for alot more than 1b isk, or I'll just leave with nothing but leave them a few wardecs.
tl;dr:
I'd NEVER even THINK about ripping off Pure Dutch, never. neither would I rip off the alliance, they're all a great bunch of guys. Always lootin' Always shootin' Always movin'

Unless it's real life friends who are playing the game with me, naw, we're a pretty tight bunch and we don't scam or gank each other.
Of course, that means everyone else is "fair game"...
EvE is a cruel, harsh game...filled with characters, not people... the sooner some of the whiners learn to separate fantasy from reality, and disassociate their real selves from their toons, the more fun they will have in this game, even when they get scammed.
In the meantime, my associates and I will continue to infiltrate corps, and rake in the ISK and loot because that's how we play the game

Maybe you should be less paranoid then. After all, what exactly DO you have to lose? If you don't make friends you're gonna end up quitting EVE out of boredom and all that isk you hoarded is gonna be useless anyway. I've been in your position before. It's not a good position to be in.

I once joined a corp and didn't take the money and run after we ran a plex together in the first week and it dropped 1bn in loot (which I scooped and sold), is that normal?
