EVE is based around social interaction based on trust ie, IPOs, Contracts(escrows and verbal), Corp Hangers, POS's etc. If you(read CCP) take that out of EVE, where everything is set up where absolutely no trust is needed. Then it's nothing more than WOW in space.
For every corp thieft you read about on forums, theres countless other corps with the exact opposite happening.
It's no ones fault but the person who blindly puts trust into someone joining a corp with assets in the billions.
I personally don't like corp thieves or scammers, but I will not flame them. For that is what they do and enjoy doing it. I dont know of another game where 'crime' is allowed like it is in EVE.
That, in my opinion is what makes this game what it is....The freedom to do what you want, there are little to no restrictions when playing. It allows people to come up with innovative ways to make isk. I remember 3 years ago or so, IPO's were near about unheard of, when the most profitable way to make isk was mining, and who could forget Zeepo??!!
The long end short of it is that the freedom of EVE is what makes it so great. And with that you get the good and the bad. So, by default if you want to get rid of the bad then you would need to take the good with it. Which isnt going to happen. We love our freedom.....and the Minmatar would love to have it |

Originally by: Darqion Zenix corp thieves are IMO the lowest of the lowest without a doubt. the fact alone that ANY random person can make a trial account, act like a noob, get into 1 of the billion corps that are happy to help new players.. BAM one more corp stolen from
keep the hanger secured ? alot of direct help to new players can be free access to ammount of ammo,guns basic fittings. etc. as there wont be people around to freely hand that stuff out, the new players will find themself struggling, or find themself buying stuff the corp already had in stock.
I don't believe in stealing from your corp. If you want to be a thief be a man about it and take it by force. None of this sissy infiltration crap. I do believe corp theft is preventable 99.9% of the time though. Keep access restricted from people you can't trust. No, there can't always be somebody around to hand this stuff out. Thats why we have contracts. You shouldn't be letting a trial account into your corp in the first place. You shouldn't be letting in anyone you don't know. Have them hang out with your corp in your public channel for a while and get to know everyone first. Apart from helping with figuring out if he is right for the corp, it also dissuades impatient corp thieves and bad actors. If you take the right precautions its nearly impossible for someone to rip you off.

Edited by: Chan Man on 23/03/2007 22:02:39 LMAO lol, welcome to the wonderful world of Eve. about a yr ago I had accepted an app from a player that turned out to be an ore thief. Now I probably have the most stringent security setup in eve. We currently only allow access to new members after 90 days of active membership. After which they have access to the equipment hangers (only). The named items are in a seperate hanger along with the weapons ammo. They also have the ability to peek into other members hangers (not much theft risk here lol) so as to be able to return items that members may share with one another. After 9 months I''l let them have access to a very controled (quantity wise) ship hanger that only has t1 ships up to cruisers. after 1 yr they get to have access to a small library of bpc's with limited runs. Anything else of real value is kept in my second accounts hanger and is accessed by only 2 members. Myself and 1 other. This includes high end ships and named equipment as well as war supplies to be given out on an ass needed and a need to know about basis. Nobody in my corp knows about this second corps supplies. Some people might think this is too much security. lol I can only say ...it keep my stuff where its needed the most. with us.

I'm a yarr myself, but.. in real life, when someone scams another person, he either goes to jail or people will know him to be a scammer (well he can get away with it, but not all the time).
in eve, everyone always gets away with being a scammer, and you don't even use your main char with it; you just use an unused alt for it.
its far too easy to be a scammer imo. ----------------------------------------------- yarr! Its great being Amarr, ain't it? |

Edited by: wictro on 24/03/2007 05:23:24 There should be a way to trace the thief. Or make a serious sec stat drop (to -7 or so). I've done some scams, and i have to admit, its too easy.
it has absolutely _no_ risk. what can they do? war dec? hah. it would not affect anything.
I rarely leave stations anyway. and i can always use alts to haul stuff ingognito.
Scamming is 100% fastest, easiest and absolutely safe way top make ISK. And thats really stupid imho. But ill keep scamming as long its so easy. I dont do corp thefts tough, mostly basic contra, as its a tool making the scamming even more easier.
You dont have to be fast talker/thinker to use em. Every third will take the bait, no questions asked.
Also the total uselesnes of bounties makes it almost funny. I consider this state of game sad. As ISK has no meaning for me anymore, it grows on trees. And i could not make more ISK in any other way.
It's like a "win eve" button.
its not funny anymore.
EDIT: and it seems that most people have fun only, when someone else doesen't. And they explain it with freedom.

He didn't steal it, he sold it when the guy lent it to him.
I believe a similar incident happened in EVE with a ship, only minus the stabbing...

Originally by: Cengiz Hope Hello guys,
I am really disappointed about corp thieves. I am the leader of a medium size corp and was stolen 2 times by persons which I trust. When I am petitioning this no one can help and no one will !! help because its part of the eve universe. This time my corp was stolen about 4 Billion ISK!!! And I cannot get help from a GM. Why? Why can a GM not get out the loggs for corp. hangars or ship maintenance arrays to find these thieves and track them down?
Maybee a GM can answer???? 2 Petitions are out and nothing heard since 3 days!!!

you're.
p.s Exploiting stupid people has no risks in real life either. Real life scams happen every single day, and only one in a million carry any "risk". Just watch late night tv, you'll see tons of scams. I promise you not one of those people selling "MAEK $$$$$$$ NOW NO DOWN PAYMENT, INSTANT CASH, WOMEN, SEX, 140 INCH WANG", don't go to jail.

you got corptheftpwned twice? fool me twice ring a bell?
lock up your hanger. it's not that hard, if somebody wants ammo or something have them ask someone with rights, your just asking to get robbed from by someone if you just open up your hanger to everyone.
I would be greatly disapointed if ccp did do anything. This is one of the reasons i play, if you can't handle it, go play wow.
do you have a loved one that's playing wow? give them a hug and tell tham that if they need a real mmo they can look no farther than eve |

absolutely nothing...say it again! WAR HU! ok enough of that... yes may be lame...depends if alts etc were used, but ccp are trying to make a realistic social environment, in rl people steal, but in eve, u got to police yourself :P if someone walks into my house, starts chatting, we have a cup of tea (the only civilised way to chat a proper chat) and they then pick up my tv and wander off, that man (women shall just be mocked....endlessly) will have 2 labradors and one thoroughly ****ed off stoner chasing him...my point being, locator agents can make someones eve life very hard indeed
i thoroughly agree with above poster :P

i didnt read the second page, maybe it has already been mentioned: NOBODY except yourself should have full access to the real expensive stuff imho. not because of trust, but because of account hacking.
the more people that are in your corp, the bigger the chance, that somebody was unlucky or dumb enough to have his account hacked.
therefore: secure ur stuff.

I run a corp and have no problems with securing hangers for various members of the corp at differing levles of access. You just need to work out how to assign roles/titles I guess; yes it is time consuming, but there is no way a new player could get access to "billions" of items in my corp
Um if I had billions, but that's not the point Your Signature exceeds max allowed dimensions of 400x120 pixels. Mail us if you have any questions -Eldo |

Edited by: Calamitty on 26/03/2007 19:05:35 everyone is talking about how EVE allows for realism
that you have to run your own checks and police your corp to avoid thieves,
thats all fine and dandy, but i think the CCP should step in still help out in tracking down theives.
why? to make it more REAL, which IS the goal after all, is it not?
in the real world, if microsoft collapses because Joe Smith and 5 friends stole all the corporate money, i can bet my soul that "invisible forces" will come into play, and things like phone calls traces, internet traces and so forth will be implemented.
the people and money will be found.
having a swiss bank account isnt a big deal nowdays, and with enough money and determination, you WILL be found if you are wanted.
in EVE, if someone takes off with your money and creates an alternate character and stores it there
no one can trace them!
if someone creates a new account how will everyone else know?
the CCP should be able to provide lists of names and alternate characters of offending persons,
perhaps not freely but on a case by case basis.
500 billion ISK stolen? petition, and get all of the persons information, what alts they have, what alts they had, what characters are on the friends list of all the alts the player ever had, last know place spotted, etc etc.
if you are gonna hit some one for that much cash, in the real world you are going to RUN AWAY and hide your ass as best as you could.
the way i see it, if someone robs your corp in EVE they can go on doing whatever it is that they were doing before without too much fear... and thats bull.

Edited by: Detrol on 27/03/2007 11:02:47 Edited by: Detrol on 27/03/2007 11:02:09 Problem is that CCP can't do anything.
I mean, suppose CCP does punish corp thieves, when is someone actually a corp thief? * when he clears out everything from corp, wallet, hangars, bpo's, everything.... ok, clearly corp thief. * when he takes 100M Isk from corp wallet but doesn't take bpo's, ships, .... is he a corp thief? Or did he take back money that he borrowed to corp in the beginning and wants it back before leaving? * same question but with 500 M Isk.... * or he doesn't take money but takes a HAC cruiser from corp hangar and leaves, not touching other stuff?
It's too difficult sometimes to really call other people corp thieves. If CCP will only punish corp thieves that take EVERYTHING, future corp thieves will make sure they leave stuff behind. And then you run into the problem of deciding how much has to be taken from corp before it's considered to be a corp theft by CCP.
That's part of the problem for CCP. They don't want to start investigating every claim from CEO's about someone who 'stole' from their corp while in reality there might be something completely different going on. Really, do we want to increase the average petition solving time by a factor of 2-10?
Instead, CCP gives you tools to limit corp theft as much as possible. Will this avoid it 100 percent? No, is it a better solution then having each corp thief hunted by CCP resulting in even more delay for petitions? Imho, yes, absolutely.
Typical corp thefts that will always be very difficult to avoid are the real-life friendships that suddenly blow up for some reason and where the other guy says 'sod this, I've had enough of it' and clears the corp out. In these cases, corp theft is the result of something else that went wrong, not the original goal.

calamity... yes if someone stole all of microsofts money etc, they would most likely be found...at least if they ever spent the money...and probably battered in an alley somewhere. you can do the same here. locater agents + mercs (or your own fighters) = one dead thief. oh...and do u believe any gets 100% full access for company accounts without partner/board whatever permission?
so...have stuff for the corp...t1 ships, mods, few t2 gear. and then your stuff, bpos etc etc. its not hard
ok, lets say he used a second character, and transfered the money, was this 2nd character active? if not then he should be easy as hell to spot...whats he flying in, corp history etc. if it is active then he's done his work, and espionage has been planned longterm. nothing wrong with that.
now lets say ccp banned corp thieving...as an above poster has said (but with different connotations) where do you draw the limit?and where goes our freedom to do what we want? i believe the people that have a big problem with/fall for corp thieves are the classic carebears.
why? because they classically use 1 or 2 modes of the game for long periods...grinding missions, mining, production, and thats all gravy. but they dont really use, or appreciate the freedom that most pirates/scumbags do...as we have fewer in game morals preventing us.

Rather funny. How you imagine yourself a police force in between of hundreds alliances, thousands corps, 4 empires, and tens of factions all residing in like 10-20+ regions. LoL?

The best fix for this, though it will never happen, is to get rid of alts. Each account should have 1 character only. People do stuff like this for the same reason that otherwise nice people do rude things in public like steal a bus seat from an old lady or rudely cut people off in traffic - because they know nobody who knows them will find out about it. I think people's real nature comes out in these types of anonymous situations.
Now if they didn't have alts, their character would have to deal with the ramifications of their actions. In that case, ok, you want to make off with the isk, we can try to pod you, warn other corps about accepting you, etc. This also makes much more sense from a rp perspective.

That would eliminate corp thiefs, imo, even tho Im not protecting them, such kind of thing should exist to make people think twice. ---

what's the big deal? you sound like some ****ed off kid on a rant.
Locking up your hanger and giving people people stuff on a request basis is not unreasonsable at all. anyone who ****es and moans because they have to wait a couple minutes for a director to transfer stuff to their hanger should probably only play single player games anyway. --------------------------------------------------

The fact that this has happened to you twice, can only mean that your not learning from your mistakes. Trust no one in this game, not even your directors. If you put expensive stuff in your corp hangers, and then give access to them to other players, You will log in one morning to find them gone. Simple as.
