Larger groups tend to be more bureaucratic then small ones and contain more anti-social people, no surprise there. Im seeing no difference from this drama and the BS you get in IRL large organizations. It also doesn't surprise me large nullsec Alliances have more people being worked up over more subjects, as neglecting those will see them lose their stuff. And yours too. I can relate to your post and your opinion, but that being said I can also respect other people's choice to play like a soldier or like a general. That's the cool thing about EvE. Plenty of options, especially if you want to downscale from a large nullsec Alliance. |

I think it's an effort thing actually. Bigger is just so much easier to get into, and usually cheaper. 
Seriously though.
A large corporation can be daunting to "get into". Sometimes it can be hard to find a place amount thousands.
I tihnk the OP is giving some sound advice.
Thinking that joining a large group is the way to go could lead to an unpleasant experience if you aren't really aware of what you're getting into.
It didn't really dawn on me when I joined Goonwaffe. I ran a 200 man guild in another game, I didn't really think much of anything other than it'll be nice not to have to directly deal with people.
And if you really want to be a significant part of something, you're not doing it in a large group like goons or test to be honest. You're better off in a smaller group where you have more direct contact with the higher ups and less established hierarchy and cliques.
Being a member of such a large group isn't for everyone, and is not always the best way to go. |

Good thing about larger corps is that if you have too much RL to spend all your day in EVE, there are still always enough people online to get stuff done when you log in.
Nothing against small and tightly knit corps, but they are of no use if only two or three pilots are online at any given time and usually 30 jumps apart...

+1 to OP
you're better off starting in a small corp or alliance where people can get to know you and you them, then you'll actually have folks who can and will help you without you being just another face in the crowd, you can talk and read before the screen scrolls the information out of your buffer, you can work closely with a small group and learn from that.
I don't advocate going it alone in EvE when you first start out, instead i think getting in with a smaller group is the very best way until you get on some solid footing of your own.

Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal.
Perception is unique in that it can be shared or be singular.

I'd phrase that differently. I'd say that no matter where you are, it's the small relationships that count. Whether that's one small group of friends or the few people you know from multiple groups, it's these personal connections that last, and it's ultimately these people that you share your game experience with, whatever that particular experience may be.
Playing in a large group or small group is just a different playstyle, that is all. Friends and playstyles are ultimately distinct things, though they of course overlap in may ways. |

Anyone can create a corp and 100 trial toons to join and look big and bad.....doesnt mean squat. Smaller corps (under 20) are the way to go, just do research if the corps been established and wary if just founded with a lot of players.
Common sense goes a long way.
If you ever joined some of the big corps like Goons, nobody would EVER want you if you left or got booted, in fear that your just gonna **** them eventually. just 1 of many bad/horrible big corps, not the only one. |

I try to make it a point to know all my people. It's hard if they don't put forth the effort to come on comms and participate in any meaningful way. There's a truth in my Alliance that if you aren't getting your balls busted, its probably because no one knows you well enough, and that's actually a bad thing.
Hey, as a dude that lives in lowsec, you should read my idea on how to "fix" it... in Blog format, complete with a spreadsheet!

You should accept him so that he can kill all your freighter be a totally good corpmate not up to anything sneaky.
