Unless you set up the WH itself, you are reliant on the corporation to supply the infrastructure/logistics and, in return, they want pretty much everything.
Sleepers, for example...the 'salvage goes to the corp'. The problem is that sleeper salvage IS the isk, not the sleepers themselves.
Want to try PI? Sure, go ahead. However, give all the stuff you get to the corp please.
Probing down interesting sites? SOunds good...but we do them as a corp (tbh, you HAVE to as they are many times very very tough) and then you are back to 'salvage goes to the corp' again.
I had an alt belong to a WH corp and I don't really think of what they do as scamming me...the corp was growing in strength. They were building cap ships aplenty to defend the WH, more POSs etc, however I never saw a point where *I* could make some serious isk and I needed it! I ofund out I was better running off lvl 4's then in a high class WH.
tbh though, I've had this problem in every corp I've joined. It takes a different form but it is always build up the corp strength and it never reaches a point where *my* strength has importance. I have gotten very jaded and skeptical - my main is at about 50 mill SP and is pretty much a loner making a isk (net worth over 20 bill would be my guess at this point) but every time I try to join a corp it never seems to be a mutual beneficial arrangement - just stuff flowing to the corp. Damn, what kinda sh!thole corps have you belonged to? When I have run corp wide sites, they took all the salvage, took out 10%, and divided the rest between the site participants.
Sounds like you ran afoul of a complete ass filled Corp duck. I can vouch for us and say that other than alliance dues and PI tax, what we make off each site goes right into our pocket. And given out ability to churn through sites like a chainsaw through butter, we make isk pretty well.
That being said, we also enjoy making isk off ships that decide to run sites too. WH space is wonderful in that there's always something to do, just have to be a little proactive in looking for it. Small gang pvp? Got it. PI? Oh yeah. PvE versus tougher rats than a level 5? And how! Satisfaction and fun with friends in Deep Space?
Wouldn't have it any other way.
