What kind of corp would ask for this as a condition of you joining?
I recently applied to a corporation and they asked me for this stating that I was a former member of an opposing coalition 2 years ago for 3 months. Does this make sense to anyone except as a way to rip someone off? |

Confirming the above poster. I use security deposits for my corp for similar reasons. It is standard practice for most high quality corps. |

Doesn't sound legit to me. Especially without using a third party escrow until certain conditions are met. They have already looked at my wallet per required api submission and use that to determine how much they can ask of me. That is bullshit, if they require a security deposit it should damn well be stated in their recruitment information, and be a set amount. |

So you feel if a noob wants to join said corp, he HAS to have the exact amount of isk or he should not bother applying? What kind of nonsense is that?
Sec deposits is a clever way to keep the casual awoxer & Spy out.

Yes. A 1.5 b security deposit at least demonstrates one is not a total peasant and will not likely resort to mooching once their space vessels blow. Black Man with Goggles |

You can find the results of those who have fallen for this obvious scam in the dozens of threads they've made detailing their stupidity. When it comes to the business of separating a fool from his ISK, business always has been and always will be BOOMING! |

You want in the corp, then you pay the fee. It goes towards time spent training you, helps with ship reimbursement funds, and also recoups losses incurred if you are a spy. Do you have any idea how much ISK can be destroyed because of a single spy? Far more than 1.3bil, I'll tell you that.
And seriously, if 1.3bil seems like a lot to you, I think you have more problems than what you are discussing in this thread. I can sneeze and 1.3bil falls out into my kleenex. The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

Haha! Tried that when I was a noob. They didn't do jack squat except steal my retriever/hurricane and 250 mil. Goons are a scamming corp far as I'm concerned. |

Exactly. They scam idiots and part them from their ISK. You were dumb enough to pay a deposit when there likely existed hundreds of threads already full of the tears of fools like you. That you did no research and fell for what is quite obviously a scam speaks more to your gullibility than anything else, really. |

Clearly this is not the corp for you to join then, move on and find another corp. Trust no one, especially a corp that asks for a security deposit to join. I certainly don't.

And how are things going in the internet-famous Imperial Order of Templars?
OP, long story short, if you want to get into a big, active, successful alliance, you will be putting up some kind of collateral. It sucks, but its a way bigger risk for the corp to bring on a potential spy/awoxer than it is for you to bicker about an inconsequential amount of isk that you're going to get back anyway. When you do big things in Eve, you make big enemies, and you have to have some kind of gateway to try and screen them. It isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than nothing.
Those corps don't get so big by just letting everyone who asks in, no questions asked. I'd be more suspicious of a corp that didn't require it. They're either so small and poor they're desperate for any ass who will join, or they're setting you up to steal all your ****.

Or perhaps you just didn't make the cut. If our security check picks up that you are a spy trying to get in, don't be all surprised when you don't get the deposit back. No corp is so cordial with potential threats trying to infiltrate. It also comes with being big and successful, just check any thread in GD. "Goons are scammers, goons are botters, goons are really carebears after all, goons really suck at this game, etc, etc." Because, of course, we owe our size and success to scamming all potential recruits and never recruiting anyone into our corp.
Sour grapes. Official Recruiter for GoonSwarm Corporation.
If you paid isk to get into GoonSwarm, you were probably scammed.-á If you had the foresight to save the name of your scammer, let me know and I'll do what I can to help you. |

Looks to me like the other people that would like to use the same type of behavior chimed up first, good to see that there are some reasonable people joining in on the discussion. Especially since this is a 3 year old toon with a stable history. |

I'm surprised after 3 years of playing you haven't realized that this is a common scam. |
