Does Goonwaffe audit participation?
My corp requires everyone to have at least one active PVP toon. While you're on probation it's wise to go on as many fleets as you can, but once you become a full member they loosen up a bit. I've gone a month without joining fleets (albeit logging on almost every day) but they did start to grumble after a while.

Nobody micromanages to that extent. Some groups require you to join fleet if you're on comms or logged into EVE, some have participation guidelines and some simply do not audit participation. Beyond that, skill requirements are a thing, but their purpose is to ensure that everyone performing a certain fleet role (i.e. flying logi) can do so optimally. However, I don't know about anyone being forced to watch a gate or mine a certain ore.

reasonable demand. Plus it's the pvp I'm looking for. ratting and complexes are rather low priority for me.

Of course it's reasonable. But it's exactly that demand that a lot of highsec players complain about when nullsec players say they want more people in nullsec.

Seriously, don't join a group that has CTA's.

Definitely don't join Goonfleet; I wouldn't want to be a part of any group that made you buy friends with $10. They also engage in casual anti-semitism.

Working on it. In any case I'll have two days of account lapse to consider how to go about it. But avoiding mandatory CTAs will likely be tricky I'm guessing. We shall see what comes up and who believes me when I say I stay bought till I'm fired or stop getting paid. But i have a bit of time to consider. Nullsec's not going to vanish overnight.

First of all, I would avoid any recruiters from Goonswarm or Test alliance please ignore. Both have many "recruiters" who routinely run recruiting scams with the explicit approval of their upper hierarchy. These guys are all over the recruiting forum and recruiting chat and watch it like a hawk.

Almost everyone who contacts you from either of those alliance is a scammer who will either eventually charge you alot of money to join, often half of your account, or will offer to "transport" your ships and stuff to nullsec, often either just before they say they will admit you, and then will run off with all your stuff.

Its pretty sad that 2 major alliances dont care about their rep, and continue to do this, but Goonswarm recruits most of their players from the "Something Awful " forums, and TEST Alliance recruits most of their players from Reddit, a player created news forum, so they don't recruit from the Eve Online population. Even the subsidiary corps in these alliances run these scams, and you just can't trust any of them.

Please message me privately with the names any such individuals and they will be dealt with immediately.

Goonwaffe does not condone scamming.

Oh really? Thats BS. One needs only to google "goonswarm recruitment scam" and look how many hits you get.

Perhaps, when they start whingeing that you all want more people to shoot at a good rebuttal would be,

"or maybe we want more people to fleet up and help pop our enemies."

Wait, no, this is general discussion. Logic is automatically assumed to be trolling here. That and some dumbass would get angry at you when he fleeted up and couldn't figure out how to shoot a red with his mining laser.

wow. apparently everyone thinks I intend to apply to the goonwaffe or something.

Yes let me get right on hunting for those recruiters for the goons with my API and a fistful of cash at the ready.

Andski I need my Born Yesterday T-Shirt back. it looks better on me, apparently.

This thread is no longer about you.

But seriously I find it hilarious that you think you're the only one who knows about Goonswarm recruitment scams and the fact that Dreddit and GoonWaffe source their members from external communities because this is totally not common knowledge amongst EVE players

Oh well, I'll be over here with the popcorn watching the vitriol while you all argue over whether or not the goons are a buncha lyin' cheatin' scammers.

How the hell do I figure out which corps are renters? Not interested in rental space, want to learn fleet combat. Dont want to be micromanaged. I have a funny feeling I'm barking up a dead tree, but i gotta try.

By the way I can fly Scimi and Oneiros will be online in a couple days.

I highly encourage people to score responses because i know this post is almost like a neon sign reading TROLL ME!

Depends, what day of the week is it again?

Who are they going to believe, a classy Goonswarm director like myself or an NPC alt poster like you?

Scamming is not condoned within Goonswarm Federation, any members who engage in such behavior are liable to expulsion.

I like how goons took over this thread.

Least they did it on their mains this time.

Baby steps.
