Vicious Edwards BlackLung Blues.inc 0	Posted - 2013.06.26 11:54:00 - [31] - Quote Just to clear some issues up, it was goonwaffle that scammed me, but I have done some research I am not the first person to be scammed but I will learn from this and be stronger. I have been helped by some very friendly people who I wish to thank! And no I won't be singing but I will give you isk if you jump out of your window and put the video on youtube :) have a nice day

Sorry, but then you had it coming. They have been using that scam for at least 3 years (the time I spent in EVE) and it was heavily documented that they use it. Hell, with some research you would have also known that the only way to get into Goonwaffe is by being a SA poster. So you are the only single person to blame and should not have come complaining or what so ever about it. The only thing you likely did research on is see who the biggest was and you wanted to join them. So, too bad, but those type of players are not the players I will even help out by giving them some ISK to get back on their feet. And I don't see why others did it. Rather would have seen they used that ISK in a good way. If you did some research and would have been wronged, I would be very grateful to help you get back on your feet.

So let me begin I made a school boy error and signed up to a corp that not only got 50million oak out of me but also my ships. My toon only had 3.7million sp and I am thinking of just completely starting again with a new character etc and try to go a pvp/pve route. Would anyone else do what u am thinking or is it just a waste of my time? No need to start a new character unless they somehow stole your skillpoints as well. Sorry you got scammed, but in some ways it's best for this to happen early, rather than you learn a lesson from losing years of accumulated assets rather than a few weeks. 1 Kings 12:11

Its not like you lost anything SP wise, you can always add to what you have. If anything, re-rolling will be a waste of time when you start training needed skills you already have. As for items, yeah, either redo newbie tutorials and get new items or buy a plex and cash it in.

I am about to set up another account for pvp matters and use my main for industry. I have some ships so I am back in a good place. I am now in a friendly corp that has given me some advice. To the person that says I should have researched I have not been play eve for a long time and I put a message in the recruitment chat and goonwaffle came to me. So I did not even know who they were etc

Hell there is actually a very decent guide here on the foruns about how to find your corp. You decided to not do any research at all and just join what ever approaches you. This migh work i other MMOs but doesnt in EVE.

Now that you know how to get in goons, do it. Then do nothing but post links to old men giving each other head in fleet chat while stuff is happening. FC > x up You > nude gay men.jpg FC > shut up You > more nude gay men now fisting butts.jpg ^^ like that And always remember to ask if you can bring a Drake.

Vicious Edwards BlackLung Blues.inc 0	Posted - 2013.06.26 16:02:00 - [40] - Quote I am not bothered by their immature comments, people like them are the type of people who have no friends and are to scared to go outside! Like I said I have learnt from it and doing the right things. Thanks to all the helpful people and to the trolls you are very boring.

Sunshyn LaBlond 24th Imperial Crusade Amarr Empire 15	Posted - 2013.06.30 00:56:00 - [41] - Quote There is no benefit to starting over. Training time is real time so it's just wasted if it's not used. You got hoodwinked, learn and move on. No corp worth joining will require anything of you but to log in and pitch in on occasion. Anyone asking for money or that you park ships in their hangar, is a scam artist. Nothing more than an email application and probably a voice comm chat is a 'normal' process. If you run into someone demanding more than an API, just walk away. There are thousands of corps in Eve, and none are worth paying to get into. Most just want active players and are far more afraid of thieves and spies than you are of being ripped off. You got taken by other newbs. Nothing you could own this soon would really be worth the effort for anyone else to take. I'm not being mean, it's just true- I could make more money in a single level 4 mission in high sec than most newbs' whole hangars are worth. Which is why you won't find high end players doing this stuff to newbs. We just have better things to do than scam a few T1 hulls from a newbie. All I can say is get out of high sec, get away from trade hubs. Find someone that just wants players that actually log in, and you'll instantly love this game again.

Mocam EVE University Ivy League 284	Posted - 2013.06.30 05:41:00 - [43] - Quote Just some advice - for 6 months, you have a lot of corps showing for your employment history. You went through what - a dozen different player corporations? That may work in some games but this one... That's a lot of "trust" in strangers for this game world being as your history looks like sampling time as you bounced around a lot. Take time and: 1) check the corporations info and history 2) spend a few days in their recruitment channel talking with them and others who swing by 3) talk to people who are in that corp and who left / no longer are in it. If you can handle some of the snide comments here and shrug it off, I'm also sure you can develop a sense of patience and research things a bit more before "trusting" and jumping in and people who left making nasty comments - you should have the ability to "filter" that a bit for what you find of value/interest vs their own self-points of view.
Vicious Edwards Perkone Caldari State 1	Posted - 2013.06.30 11:55:00 - [44] - Quote Yes I have made my way through a lot of corps, I did take a big of a break from Eve as the learning curve destroyed me but I returned this happened and I will learn. I am now without a corp and taking to mission running with the aim of heading out to null sec in the next few months.

Eve Rule #1: Never trust a Goon. But there is a silver lining: Once you've been playing for, heck, as little as six months (which is nothing in EvE terms) you'll look back at 50,000,000ISK as being the kind of chump change that falls out of your sock, rolls under the couch, and you can't even be bothered with picking up. The day CCP codes together a bot program that slaps 30 day forum bans on anyone who says "can I have your stuff?" the overall average IQ of the EvE forums will quintuple overnight.
