Khun SP Paramite Factories 5	Posted - 2014.10.29 13:12:25 - [1] - Quote I often like to read Bio and Employment History of random people and of those who are close to myself. Whenever I see large employment histories I facepalm and automatically untrust that pilot, because he is either a child who doesn't know what to do and changes his mind so easily, or maybe his behaviour is not adequate and he's kicked in less than few weeks each run. In my opinion, 1-2 corp a year is the limit, although jumping from one corp to the next one each six months on a regular basis is still somehow unstable, childish and weird. The rule of thumb is if you get a scroll bar on your employment history, bad news. On the other hand, when I find a guy in the same corp for 2+ years (not a NPC) I then admire and trust his loyalty and psychological balance :) Do you feel the same or you just don't care about others' employment history? TLDR: think twice before joining, dropping and applying other corps every time.

Luna Arindale Ubuntu Inc. The Fourth District 35	Posted - 2014.10.29 13:21:21 - [3] - Quote Why do you want to punish someone for maybe not finding a group of people they enjoy playing EvE with? People have the right to be dissatisfied with a Corp and shouldn't have to worry about being picky. Also this should be posted to features and ideas discussion not to General discussion.
Lazarus R Crimson Aliastra Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2014.10.29 13:26:00 - [4] - Quote The Player behind the character is what is important. The character is simple a glove into which the player inserts his guiding hand. For example i have approximatley 79 characters with all kinds of names, Mostly with the surname Crimson. INfiltraded throughout the game world. I have a character in just about every major alliance and mega-corporation in the game. Meaning there is very little happening(or not happening as the case usually is) that i don't know about. So now when you trust my alt that has been hibernating in a npc corp for 4 months and he looks all 'legit' etc, What kind of fool do you think that makes you look like ? P.s. sorry for terrible Grammar and spelling etc.

TLDR: think twice before joining, dropping and applying other corps every time. By your metric this character is untrustworthy, before the standings requirement for POS anchoring changed I created and sold corps with the required standings, hence I have quite a long employment history. Nil mortifi sine lucre.

TLDR: think twice before joining, dropping and applying other corps every time. Look at my corp history , and hope your pc doesn't get stuck while trying to load it. In all my eve time i have only had one corp wich i resigned from due to having ''arguements'' and have not once been kicked from a corp in my eve time.Never have stolen isk , most of the times when i joined a corp i gave a LOT more to it then i got from it. Some people like me just like to do everything in eve and as such we try to see as much as possible in a short time span.It doesn't have anything to do with being dishonest , or a person who can't get around well with others as i still have contact with a LOT of old corp mates even going back to 2004. It's just a way of playing the game.I have quite the opposite feeling you have , if i see someone who has been in a corp for years and i know that corp has worked only in nullsec/lowsec or another part of eve during that whole time i ask myself ''damn dude , when you quit eve after years of playing you will only have seen a shadow of what the game offfers''.I am currently on ''retired mode'' but i can at least say that i have seen and done it all in eve , well that is besides scamming/ganking in empire but that's just something i really dislike. There's an old song wich basically says it all : They call me the wanderer Yeah, the wanderer I roam around, around, around We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
Grauth Thorner Vicious Trading Company 220	Posted - 2014.10.29 13:43:45 - [7] - Quote Sure you can get some info about people by reading their employment history, even though you don't know the reason behind the amount of corporations he's been in. But "The rule of thumb is if you get a scroll bar on your employment history, bad news." is a rather bad rule of thumb if you'd ask me..

Gregor Parud 734	Posted - 2014.10.29 13:46:44 - [8] - Quote Most people/corps/alliances aren't as good as their advertise to be, in fact most of them are hilariously terrible filled with moron clowns. There's 4 ways to deal with that: - be really lucky - have insider information on a good corp - don't join corps - keep trying different ones till you find one that's not ** So while it most certainly can mean "pilot is an ADHD short attention span ****, not worth putting effort into" it can also mean "pilot has standards and isn't willing to waste his time on morons".
Samir Duran Xadi Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 3	Posted - 2014.10.29 13:50:46 - [9] - Quote people are stuck with companies and jobs they dont like irl, the last thing they want is to do the same in a game.

This. I deal with enough morons at work. I don't need to deal with them for fun too. A bitter vet trying to start anew.

As it is, since I don't want to hire someone who does that, I like it just fine. FURTHERMORE...how would I know if someone was previously employed by a group wanting to put me on the slab?

Caviar Liberta Moira. Villore Accords 735	Posted - 2014.10.29 17:24:26 - [13] - Quote The same could be said about you also I guess. Joining a player after only having played the game 3 days.
Heather Austrene Fried Liver Attack 4	Posted - 2014.10.29 19:07:11 - [14] - Quote Hmm, i have 11 entries after playing for less than 3 months. Only 3 are actual unique player corps though. All the other movement is from war dodging (think what you want of that). As of yet, I haven't found a corp that feels like home. I didn't like how 2 corps shut down during war, and I quickly left the third because I didn't like the tone/mood/attitude demonstrated in the communication between members. But if I find a corp where I feel comfortable and does the full gambit of gameplay, I will probably be the most stable, trustworthy member around. My alts have less movement, so they must be much more trustworthy, LOL.
Josef Djugashvilis 2629	Posted - 2014.10.29 19:12:04 - [15] - Quote Too many corps claim to be really active, a player decides to join them, only to find that they alone are the active corp member. This is not a signature.
Hasikan Miallok Republic University Minmatar Republic 1166	Posted - 2014.10.29 22:24:12 - [16] - Quote So if you have been a member of BoB for like 10 years that is a bad thing ? ... ummh wait
Lone Gunman Forhotea Corporation 33	Posted - 2014.10.29 22:50:00 - [17] - Quote What's wrong with you guys? I have been on unemployment for 11 years 5 months and 26 days and I have no Corp history.

Primary This Rifter 4S Corporation Goonswarm Federation 125	Posted - 2014.10.29 23:33:11 - [19] - Quote I've been in this corp for 2.5 years now and you'd be surprised at the amount of times I've almost been kicked out over arguments. Alt of [redacted on advice from a reputable internet spaceships lawyer]
Hicksimus Plan-It Xpress Greater Western Co-Prosperity Sphere 391	Posted - 2014.10.29 23:35:30 - [20] - Quote My corp history annoys people and makes it harder for me to switch corporations. But it's a game.... Some days I'm in the CFC.....some days I'm PL.....some days I'm a renter.....once I was in what I believe to be the best small gang pvp corp in EvE(A4D).....I invaded a wormhole solo once(the locals became nice when they couldn't manage to kill my viator with 5 bombers) and another time I simply lived in one solo for months, I've even been part of C6 operations. If I'd stayed in 1 corp/alliance I wouldn't have had such a wide range of EvE experiences and I think I'd be worse off for that. Do you have it?
somedudeinaship Republic University Minmatar Republic 11	Posted - 2014.10.29 23:59:30 - [21] - Quote You can trust me, I am 100% dedicated to the Minmatar!
Voxinian 78	Posted - 2014.10.30 00:10:36 - [22] - Quote Corp history does not mean anything by just looking at a profile... as you can have many accounts with different purposes.
Desimus Maximus Embargo. 127	Posted - 2014.10.30 08:15:12 - [23] - Quote If you look at mine you will probably cringe... However, what is one to do when they were sold a bill of lies.. "Oh ya, we are a super active wormhole corp"... 2 weeks later, after being the only corp member to log in during that time... "We are a chill null corp, you can do whatever you want"... Corp evemail spammed out threatening all pilots to spend the next 3 months skilling for ships/mods for specific doctrine and maintain 100% efficiency on KB or get kicked. "Ya, we mine. Fleets up every day" "uh guys we need to pool our money to get a retriever. 25 Million ISK is more than any of us could ever dream of."..... "Uh, we're TEST, and we're gonna unblue all of our blues and take on all of New Eden solo just because I'm Buddha and I'm a moron"... Forced to leave nullsec because a single tool has the power to destroy an entire region. Corp history can be quite irrelevant. Half of mine were my own attempts after being screwed by those of the likes of the above. You can't expect someone to just click and jump in and fit. If its not right who cares if they left? If you dont trust them, ask them and then check members of the corps. In many instances you have no choice because of the decisions of others. I've never left on bad terms from any of my corp history. Im an 82m sp pilot. Can fly multiple carriers, dreads, marauders, full T2 fit frig-BS all races, Legion & Tengu, I can build everything but T3s and Titans. Blops, sb, HIC, HAC. Lasers, guns, missiles. Orca, Rorq, Hulk..... I'm still trying to find a good fit. They look at corp history and they just say sorry, no dice. Their loss.

So just because one is loyal to an alliance which has corps coming and going it means they're horrible for swapping corps to stay in the said alliance?

Mr Epeen It's All About Me 6565	Posted - 2014.10.30 17:33:11 - [28] - Quote If you see a corp history that makes your eyes bleed, don't trust them. Period. They're either an awoxer and you just invited a world of hurt into your corp, or a corp jumper with an irrational fear of PVP that will bail the first time you tell him to get in a ship with guns. While it might be just a coincidence and the guy has had bad luck with corps, do you really want to take that chance? I don't. Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!

[/quote] agreed. I would switch between various corp within a 'family' as a function to do stuff, back in the day. And ... in EVE even a few months is a long time. CEO's leave, people migrate, corp conditions change, and either the corp moves away or you decide to move away from the corp. Unless someone is leaving a trail of totally unconnected corps behind in monthly or less successions, ... I'd not care a bit. That said, my Main has only a handful of different corps on his list in 10 years, pretty good going I thought. (but it still 'looks' alot when you scroll)

I would like to point out though that 5 years in the same corp can very easily mean 'unsubbed for 4 years.'
