Maybe u like to play solo with a corp channel full of people asking the same questions over and again.
I prefer a little more of an identity, and for the most part I've had some great times with people in the various corps/alliances I've been part of or created.

Originally by: Catherine Frasier Yeah, it's sarcasm. Clearly all the really successful people all over the world and throughout history have completely refused to work with anyone else. Families, tribes, teams, nations, armies; just a buncha complete losers. Not you though, living in your cave in Kentucky and logging in to play Eve on the spiffy computer you made out of rabbit hides and bark, you're the independent rebel hero. Kudos.
You seem to have confused EVE with the real world.
Wherever you went - Here you are.

I agree, team work is what gets you places in EVE.
You are one of 3 things.
1 Poor in EVE. 2 A corp officer. 3 Part of a tiny corp of friends.
Its probably number 1 and you dont know it.

Define "poor".
No, wait, let me guess: "Not a corp officer or in a tiny group of friends".

This is not a response to the op as he is a fecktard, and all hope is lost for him.
But this is for the other people in NPC corps wodnering the same thing.
Humans, yes thats you, are pack animals. In whatever we do we like to be part of a group and be recognised as being part of that group.
This is why being in solitude can make you loose your mind.
NPC corps just dont have that idenity that a player run corp does. They also dont have the same bonding, the best corp i was in was my first corp where the were about 5 of us that got on soo well. The banter on vent was great, we would have a proper laugh. Getting to know each other and atempting to build amke an image into reality was fun (till it died in a fire).
also dont smack it till youve tried it.

Instead of spending your time in an NPC corp grinding to acquire pointless amounts of isk, for no reason other than for it's own sake... Join a player corp where you can experience grinding to acquire isk in order to facilitate pointless PvP which you engage in for no reason other than for it's own sake.
And then realize that this is what games are pretty much all about, and if you aren't having fun along the way, you need to examine why you're even playing the game.
Anyway, the point of an MMO being online and not instanced, is to enable cooperation and competition between players in a persistent environment. Player corps are more likely to expose players to these things than NPC corps, because NPC corps are just holding pens for people who aren't inclined to even be in the same part of the world as each other, let alone cooperate.

Lets see. Player corps can give you less then 11% corp tax.
Player corps you can abuse... get other people to do things for you.
Player corps you can get blobs going. Blob or be blobbed. This way you can be the blob.
Player corps you can kill your teammates without concord getting involved. ------------------------ To make a megathron from scratch, you must first invent the eve universe. ------------------------ Life sucks and then you get podded. |

the only real advantages to being in a player corp that u cannot do in an npc corp is
1. build supercaps 2. store them in relative safety (though this may change in dominion due loss of sov 4 pos invunerablity) 3. get lab slots without having to wait upto 3 months for each slot
aside from these few there is no real advantage in being in a player corp

because eve is a sandbox, you cant build a castle without friends to help keep it up.
You will learn infinatly mroe stuff with a real corp, noob corp is just to get you into the game.

Reason to join a player corp: So you can gain their trust and then rob them blind when their backs are turned!

Edited by: ElrondMD on 01/10/2009 15:02:28 This thread is great,
I'm sure there are thousands of players who completely agree with the op, what we think doesn't matter at all. We're a different breed.
CCP are trying to change 0.0 into a completely player driven economy with little passive income, yet they really have not addressed the core issues as to why only a small ratio of hardcore players even bother with the space.
Either this guy lives in 0.0 and is just making a point with an alt or he's inadvertently illustrating CCP's biggest oversight in regards to Dominion.

Elrond, agreed on all points.
However, I don't think we have seen enough of Dominion yet to make that last observation for certain.

We could just accept that Eve is fundamentally broken and that the problems that keep 80% of the players out of 75% of the systems in Eve will never ever be fixed.

Originally by: syphurous Why would I, or anyone else want to join a player corp.
Their fun - the "benefit" is intangible, but nonetheless real. If you don't find them fun, don't join one.

Well I actually hoped to be sold, and I know I'm a hard sell, but thats just the way I roll. I still find it fun to be in NPC, so don't need to leave, but maybe there's something I was missing. This was a bit of a social experiment, you learn a lot about people when you push them the wrong way. I can truly see groups, or individuals amongst those groups that speak with nothing but contempt for someone they know nothing about & assume their motives without any stopping to look at the whole picture. At the same time I kind of hoped to illustrate that CCP have missed the mark on getting me and the other high sec NPC population out there ( though I am out there and doing just fine :P ). Though I'm pretty sure most of their aim is actually at the secondary NPC corps. There must be a great number of people who tried a player corp and disliked it so much they left ( Some kicked of course ). They obviously want to get them back out there, but haven't addressed the reasons they fell back into an NPC.
I would like to thank those who have contacted me personally in game, discussed this like adults and maintained a neutral stance. Those discussions were appreciated, and I may take some of you up on your offers at some point in the future. Most people will read this thinking it's part of my post, when its actually my sig :P

TBH, most persuasive reply so far. Everyone else seems offended that I have a counter to their over valued +1's or cant see why a casual player cant see any value in the offerings of a player corp.
There are plenty of corps for players like you. I started a corp with a few friends and we just do whatever we want. The biggest benefit is that when you want to try something you wouldn't be able to do by yourself your corpmates can assist you and in the right company it makes the game much more enjoyable.
You said that you often interact with a group of players in your NPC corp, why not start a corp with them? A tax free corp if you want - or a corp with a very low tax just so you can pay for a corp hangar (I love my corp hangar). |

I've done that before with a nub alt. The resultant data can be quite interesting if the thread is managed correctly by the op though in some cases it just takes off without any need for chaperoning to keep it ontopic.
