It's pretty funny...might have been hilarious but my coffee is still working on getting me going...to see all the "wtf? No you can't do that, you don't know ****-all about what made EvE great or what makes it tick!" replies to an idea from Mittens and placed here without his name deliberately.

As a whole there is a sentiment of extreme paranoia in regards to high-sec corps, especially industrial ones. While I am only a small sample size myself, I have lived in several different areas of high-sec and have found the vast majority of corps are small (<30 members) and closed for recruitment.

Im doing some quick research on corps that disallow trial accounts/very young players to join them.

If you wouldnt mind answering, all i wish to know is: WHY you do not take applications from Trial accounts/very young players?

Thanks very much

Several reasons
1. A player with more SP has more invested and more likely to stick around
2. Not really interested in training the basics after over 5 years in game.
3. A toon with a history is less likely to be a spy
4. Just not interested in growth for the sake of growth.

I'm sure i could come up with more valid reasons but its been a long day ;)

1) Because we don't know if you are going to stick with the game after the trial is over and you have to Pay to play.
2) Also generaly a trial account has very low Skill Points. and very low standings.

well,

I'm not sure if anyone answered you, but basically it is very easy for a rival alliance to create a character and want to install it in our alliance in order to gather information. Also, the requirements we have for fleet doctrines and small gang ships require a minimum skillset that there is no way a 14 day trial.... or anyone with really less that 10m SP is going to have.

So why are you doing this research? In our case we do not want new or trial accounts for a number or reasons. First off they are easy to create and have no history making them a risk for us due to spies and such. Second we are a pvp alliance, we do not have the time nor the will to teach you what you are suppose to be doing in null. We require our members to be self-sufficient and pvp ready and in most cases a new player and in all cases a trial account are unable to fulfil that requirement. We do look at every app on a case by case basis and if for some reason a low sp toon does look to be someone that could be an asset to the corp we will not reject them just due to sp.

there are many reasons most corps not only ours that don't except applications
1. age
reason most corps want to know that they are playing with matured individuals that can follow instructions and obey all rules of not only the corp but eula as well
2. most corps donnot accept trail accounts because the player cannot train skills need to improve their charracter; plus there is no guareentee that the player will continue the game once their trail account is up.
3. most corps will not accept new applications during wardecs for security reasons.
4. some corps put skill levels aka skillpoints a new applicant must have

i hope this gives some reasons why application to join corps are not accepted.

because ive had trail account join and after there trail is up they never come back

trail accounts, have not commited to playing the game.
very young accts this is eve everyone is a spy.
