So by having a specified channel for Eve University CCP isn’t already showing favoritism?
Also in the same video linked Hellmar stated that they needed to get over not supporting certain larger groups and showing favoritism. Which would imply their going to support larger groups like Eve University or perhaps large null, wh or other activity corps in subtle ways to help keep them full of people.
The method I’ve suggested would not only help large groups but new or smaller ones as well.
Just because the server isn’t cyclical doesn’t mean that the recruitment mechanic isn’t viable. The more corps that make it because their able to get and retain new members the better because it allows growth and more interactions between players.
Again your opinion that auto corps aren’t appropriate is your opinion and the best you can do to support that opinion is to say that bad people will take advantage of people who can freely leave them of their own accord to seek out new people to play with.
People need to be in a group of other players who are interested in learning the game as much as they are within the first 24 hrs if not the first couple hrs of game play. It’s as simple as that.
