I have been cruising the recruitment forums for the last couple of weeks, and it seems like everyone who is anyone wants full API. As if that wasn't enough, some want full API for all accounts! My situation is rather unique for quite a number of reasons, and I find the prospect of giving out all of my API keys extremely unsettling.
Before you tell me, "you must have something to hide", ask yourself, are you comfortable with random people knowing who ALL of your alts are, what you are buying/selling, and where you get your isk from?
I also don't want to hear about how I fail at compartmentalizing my characters; I know how to transfer items between characters without it appearing on an API. I shouldn't have to act like a spy to get into a corp.
Am I paranoid for not wanting random people to know what color my underpants are before I even speak to them on voice?

This? Not to mention, what is it with people not showing a little self respect? If a corp is going to be anal and elitist, to hell with them. Don't join.
How do suppose a corporation would react to a large isk transaction from a character that isn't present on the API, or having billions of isk in your wallet with no transactions showing where it came from, other than through selling the PLEX/DED mods/whatever that you retrieved from the container.... |

If they want Wallet & Skill Trees, sure, thats fine, I don't mind that. That is information that is important to the Corp, so they know if I'm being honest when I say I'm broke and need a hand, or when I say I am trained for some ship they want in a fleet, but simply don't have one, or that I'm not trained for standard doctrines because I do something else.
I just refuse to give access to things like messages. And if the corp wants to be a pain on that, I simply won't join.
My principle concern is wallet transactions, but you bring up a good point. An API key that includes eve mails will include ALL of them from the last 10 years I think, even the ones you supposedly trashed.
Also, this:

Cuz giving a full API absolutely NEGATES the possibility of theft and SPAIZ!
The charade is just foolish at this point.
If you're worth spying on/stealing from, people are going to get in. |
