The problem with lists like this is that they are very skewed towards 'Forum Warriors'. A few examples of people not in Venal or Fountain:
As Bob said earlier, Arcane Tech UK is an excellent, very organized PvP corp.
How about Black Omega Security? Shinra? EVE Marshals? Vengeance of the Fallen? MASS? These guys are no joke!
Hell, Tyrell is now primarily made up of a lot of former corps who fought against the CA inside Curse. Our PvP guys spent months, literally, fighting against some of those corps I named above and now have the backing of one of the largest industrial corps in EVE.
Since joining the Stain Alliance, I can tell you there are a couple corps in SA that are really nasty in PvP, but you'll never see them on these forums because they just don't care about this aspect of the game.
Another major point: there are a lot of corps out there that don't even use English as their primary language and have no use for these forums. The Collective is one example. The Jokers have an effect far out of proportion to their size on any area they go to, but Italian is their language in game.
But I'm not arguing to be on any list because I believe such things are inherently flawed. Why? Because there is no way possible to get an accurate assessment of another corps combat capabilities until you see them in action for at least a few weeks. I mean, I know **** all about RONA-KIA other than what little I've read about them on the forums and that snazzy video they made.
To be honest, the only corps on that list I can speak with any knowledge of are Omega, EV and Evol because they are the only ones I've seen in action since retail. Top Ten lists are pointless. There are probably a dozen more 'sleeping giants' that are just as happy they aren't on this list so they can't be made a target.
Zarthan, I appreciate the amount of work you put into this and the effort is commendable, but I have to ask what you are trying to accomplish? You'll never even get the corps on that list to agree to any particular ranking, and there are too many other corps out there you are leaving out of the running. Great effort, though. Was a good read.
