Sure moon mining brings in a lot of ISK. Sure running a corp especially in 0.0 within an alliance is costly (not to mention time consuming). The leaders are leaders because, either they're really good at it, or no else want(ed) to do it.
If a corporation in 0.0 has a budget, either a capital ship fund or production would it really actually be wise to post it on their forums? Would it be wise to offer free ships to every one who turned out to alliance ops even if they were complete nubbins with the tools provided "for free" of charge?
May be the first few ships could be free, after all nothing beats training especially if you move from one hull to another.
How does a CEO/directors have a totally open corporation when to be frank the expenditure itself is not negotiable anyway?
I ask the above question as a CEO. I don't have a large number of members, but that's okay with me - we do things as a team and we progress and learn all the time. When there's a surplus of ISK in the corp wallet I have in the past divided it up amongst the active pilots, no worries. I think that's only because it's such a small corporation (because no one knows or uses the recruitment adverts in game) with few medium term goals and no long term goals to speak of that we don't need to save 25% each week to pay for more toys, or pay off the alliance dues.
For many people - the end game situation is a 0.0 alliance. I think this is bunkem and couldn't disagree more. It's a game, the same things bore people and when they're not enjoying themselves they should move on. As it happens my corp can provide most things a new player needs, but I believe if they can obtain it with their own muscle then so be it, if it's a corporation based operation and equipment is lacking of course the corp will obtain it and quite rightly so.
It's give and take, for the good of the corporation, comes down to meaning the same as "For the good of the corporation members, even if you're not going to be one next week".
Life is about memories the more the better.
