And yes, you are the poster child for victimhood, you can't deal with the idea of someone messing with you in game so you post with this alt (do't try to deny it, you've admitted as much several times).
You totally miss the point, don't you.
No one messes with me in game, because I use the game mechanics provided by CCP, along with my own casual play style, to minimize the opportunity, profitability and likelihood that someone will bother.
I'm playing a game that I enjoy playing, in a way I enjoy playing it, while denying kills to people that think the game should be about getting lots of easy kills from players like me.
Not only an I getting to play the game in a way I enjoy, BUT at the same time, I'm ruining your day by ensuring that you don't get to play with me in the way that you enjoy playing.
I then get to come on the forums, and rub your nose it in, while easily defeating your weak internets skills with my superior critical think skills.

No one is saying you should pvp (i don't lol), but by playing eve (and undocking) you CONSENT to pvp should someone else choose to bring it to you because EVE is a non-consensual pvp game.
Link a single post where I suggested that suicide ganking should be removed fro the game. You can't, becuase I've never done so.
It is a non-consensual PvP game, but the game also provides mechanics that allow me to minimize the probability of non-consensual PvP to the point that... well.... I've not lost a ship since returning to the game 9 months ago.

If you cannot, the sadness I feel for you bro has nothing to do with this video game.
The problem is, I choose to play the game I enjoy playing it, rather that the way you want me to. And that angers you to no end.
Get over it. Stop looking at carebears as potential easy kills, and figure out a way to stop sucking at PvP so that you can actually get kills against players that are ready and willing to fight.
Yes, I'm baiting you. And you are soooooo falling for it.

If you can't take criticism of your non-conformist way of playing, you should either conform, stop playing or stop caring about what other people say. Don't forget to CONFORM folks..........it's what EVE is all about?. So i guess you missed the other 2 elements of what I said (ie stop playing if it bothers you so much or stop caring about what other people think about what you do? But yea, since you have a problem with the idea, I'll tell you, conformity (by choice) is an option. I have chosen to conform to how things are in real life and in game many times, at other times I've chosen not to for my own reasons. The habitual non-conformist like you, on the other had, just finds stuff the he can non-conform to (lol) simply so that he can feel like some kind of rebel. EVE has many of you types, people who don't really like EVE and really would like games like Star Trek Online (no real death penalty, no non-consensual pvp, and a game that celebrates solo play and makes all interactions consensual), but who chose to keep playing EVE (a harsh non-consensual pvp game) because here they can be the edgy non-conformist solo rebel fighting against the forces of injustice and Goon-tyranny. Just tell the truth about yourself, then i won't have to do it for you lol.

What is wrong with you that you need to believe that others care about what you do? Hell,I haven't killed anyhting but blood raiders and sansha for a long time now. Are you a Blood Raider? (if so, im gonna get ya).
i'm just pointing out how stupid it all is. No one wants you to stop playing a certain way, and the fact that you think this means you could use some IRL help man, seriously.
You see, i can see through your lie, you aren't baiting anyone, you actually do think that way and you know it even if you're not willing to admit it. And you actually think you can "win" an internet forum?

That's not entirley true. Faction warfare has pelnty of solo PVP in low sec.
The reason for this is that you have to share you 25K LP ( or 15k LP) with whoever is in the plex at the time. So naturally people get all pissy when other people show up leading to alliance on alliance action on occasion. Therefore people tend to be alone in the plex's and you can get at them without having to be in a blob.
Although no longer active Adolf made thousands of kill mostly solo using a condor often times.
So its still there but limited to FW because of its mechanics. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

anyways,
The point of eve is to make it what you want. You can be the lone ranger, but you will find warfare a challenge, the story will keep you entertained though. You can become an industrial giant, with or without others. The options go on, but like any world, its easier to not go alone. Learn to make friends, despise your enemies and even more importantly, make the world your own. |

Noone cares about soloists it's just when they pipe up about things catering to a solo crowd. I'm a solo guy meself (no alts) most of the time but I get enjoyment from being able to compete with that handicap.
If you want to be solo here that means you want a challenge. If ya need CCP to add "solo content" then you don't want to be a soloist you just want an easy game and can gtfo. |

dark heartt wrote:You will do well in Eve with that mindset. There was a time when highsec was a lot less safe and I miss those times.
I completely agree with this. (I haven't read the entire thread but am definitely working my way there. I love discussions like this and this post made me have to stop and comment) I'm a solo player myself. I have experienced a lot of EVE, from missioning and arcs to alliance leadership (though not in nullsec), and I've found that I personally am MOST comfortable flying solo or with on a small group in WH space. It's my safe-zone, and I feel is far safer than anything highsec has to offer me. Exploration is key in WH space and the content is extremely rich, as are the possibilities.
That being said, like I said before, I enjoy flying in a fleet from time to time. I don't mind a few people bee-bopping around with me. When I'm enrolled in FW I definitely enjoy FC'ing and running around in huge fleets. At the end of the day I want to kick back and unwind, whether that be exploring, mining, or even just toying around editing my character. I'm not against the fact that this is a multiplayer game, and if I wanted a strictly single player game, I'd play FTL.
I feel that over time I've observed a great number of solo players complaining about THEIR particular needs in a game largely driven by a mass of players. As a business, CCP has to appeal to the largest stream of revenue, for themselves and their shareholders. As an MMO, CCP has to appeal to, you guessed it, the largest part of the player base. This isn't unexpected and completely understandable.
That being said, this is a multiplayer game. Playing solo doesn't isolate you from the rest of the population. Playing solo is just as challenging, if not more challenging, than playing with others all the time. The difference is that I have a lot more control of my time utilization when I play the way I do, even though my impact on New Eden isn't great like that of the Goons, for example. It's very simple, really. If you see Tengus on scan, they are ratting. If you see a shitload of Tengus, the Russians are blobbing. If you see Proteuses on scan, they will be on top of you in about a second. If you see a shitload of Proteuses, the big boys are having a goodfight. |

Regardless of it being an MMO, not everyone wants to be fleeted up 24/7 when playing. The lack of decent(fun) solo activities is a blemish on Eve, and probably hurts retention rates.

Davis TetrisKing wrote: So what are people's main objections to people like myself playing solo?
The same reason people object to -insert game mechanic- or -insert player demographic- of any sort. Being that we all send money to CCP or send isk to others so that they will do the same in our stead, I think it's rather amusing players would care, but there is a persistent political demographic around here who are in a state of permanent dismay that we're not playing according to a rule-set that does not exist.
As the hilariously astute supposed counter-point (showcased in reply #1 of course) goes: this is a sandbox mmo. Unfortunately for anyone who unironically hangs their hat on this observation: sandbox comes first, mmo second. In a true sandbox, there is no regulation mandating a multilayer experience. It is there to be had. It's ever encouraged, but if one chooses to adopt a solo play-style, they've weighed the benefits and made that decision.
Long live EVE and the sandbox. Let those who would tell you how to play a game in your spare time go play in traffic. |

The ones with objections to our ''solo'' playing style are those who doesn't understand the concept of sandbox and want everyone else play the game the way they think it should be played.
I'll join the group of people telling you ''play the game the way you want and don't care about the rest''.
The reasons for me to solo play almost all the time are much like yours, we don't have tons of hours to spend and sometimes playing with others make waste much of that time we have, or perhaps makes us feel we are not contributing enough to our corps. |

I confess - I pretty much exclusively play solo (can't you tell from my "elite corp?").
Overally, I've never been able to break into EVE's more social side. I've had a number of people actively attempt to gank me... and even one near shave on a corp kill shortly after I chanced an invite. I am sure there are nice, pleasant, and trust-worthy people out there, but space is a harsh and unforgiving place, and I didn't have a lot of faith in humanity to begin with.
Missioning solo is boring, but with my low overall experience (and complete absence of PvP skill), I just don't feel like I'd offer all that much to a corp. I'm an intellectual first, but that doesn't really get you very far in a cutthroat galaxy of scheming, stealing and bargaining. Eventually, I may try to reach out again, but I don't think I will do so until I can effectively fit at least T2 in all slots on an Amarr BS.
Then, I might still be completely green, but I'll at least look menacing. |

At the beginning of my career I was also in a corp and alliance and occupied for a few weeks nulsec, but the thing, that I never really liked, was playing EVE almost like having another job. You have to be present, you have to train this, you have to do this, if you don't do this you will be expelled... I don't like this style. So I'm also most of the time solo player. I have been playing EVE almost 10 years now (with a few major breaks though), I have my own corp with me and my 2nd alt for about 3,5 years and I love the game in first place. (Because on the other hand, there are not much "Space-themed" games after all, and if they are, they are 10 to 15 years old )
I play games for fun, not because I must and I want it to stay that way. So after those long years I'm still a newb, but I have skills and though I whine sometimes about a loss now and then I can live with it (and most importantly I don't bother anyone with my problems) and do what I want.
And I don't say I wouldn't join up with an alliance, if they would just let me live in my own way and wouldn't push me around |

I am pretty much a 'solo' player, although i also enjoy the social side of things, which I can get from an NPC corp, I'll also post on the boards, and occasionally join a Corp where i participate fully.
In the end I'm content to run missions in my game time or mine with my industry alt as I find it relaxing, I will also put RL first, which puts the back of some corps/alliances up, as I refuse to be at their beck and call which often happens if theres a planned op on and you cant get on. Its one reason I have for not training for capitals and higher. |

What pisses me off is when solo players expect to be competitive with groups of players and/or feel that they deserve special consideration/mechanics/ships over others who put the effort into dealing with other mouth breathers (which is no small feat).
People always seem to forget that corps and alliances are basically collections of "solo players" who have simply decided to pool their individual resources with those of others. Ergo, anything done to aid a "true solo player" will always be to the greater advantage of those willing to work together.
Imho you are providing a shallow picture of the matter.
There are MMOs out there where it's so easy to setup "task oriented groups". Those groups are very nice because even the most casual guy without many chances to establish himself in a long standing relation with other players, can still perform group activities, have fun and socialize.
Incursions are what in EvE came closest to this. Even without super tight acquaintances or being in dedicated corps, people could quickly join something social and perform a task and then everyone back to their lives.
The crux of the matter is, they DO WANT to partake in social activities, they just have various constraints that prevent them to join more organized entities.
Therefore the new gen of MMOs that have those "quick join" features are awesome for a "casual". Once I thought those quick join features would not create friendship but I found out it's not true. Out of 10 groups you will find the 1-2 guys you just like to stick around and add to the contact list for later.
Casuals that whine imo are whining because they can't express themselves in EvE as they could if EvE had more Incursions-alike features and less "heavy weight" demanding social features. Lets leave out the implementation, the fact Incursions were imbalanced etc, let's focus to the social aspect of the feature per se.
Imo EvE should add more of that.
It's OK to leave a "gap" between the potential achievements of those who are casuals and the dedicated guys, but give room for casuals too. They are SO MANY potential new players and they would still all pay $15. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Well, EVE is so anti-solo that they will miss even the most obvious chances. FAI, the new hacking minigame would had made for a nice soloable, casual acitvity, if they just had allowed it to be done any time and anywhere rather than only in a site and in space. Put the loot in a lootable sealed container and hack the container later, when you want or when you can.
But NOOOH, that would be heresy! PvP need to jump on hapless explorers too busy to d-scan! Your child just broke his arm but don't let his cries distract you! Don't stop hititng d-scan, lest you lose your ship! HTFU and welcome to EVE!
Seriously, they're totally tainted by anti-solo, anti-casual thought. And so feature upon feature just missfire and fails to reach its full potential.

I have played EvE since 2003. I think I have been in maybe 2 small gangs with Privateers and perhaps 5 large fleets with a null alliance in that time. It's not that I don't like people really, it's more that I feel crowded by more than just me in a gang or fleet :) ok it's probably the not liking people thing.
it's amusing reading all the comments such as soloers are whiners and no one cares about soloers or soloers don't contribute to the game. Oh and we just mine or run missions too.
Well let me just say I complained a little in the early EvE universe about CCP shafting soloers. Then I had some alliance dweeb get on the forums here and tell me if I didn't like alliances to fight back against them. He was being a smart ass as obviously what could a exclusively solo player do. But I took his advice and made Privateers. What did the alliances do about it? They WHINED SO LOUD CCP NERFED IT. You know why because when they come back to empire they want to solo haul, solo mission, solo travel.
And they couldn't handle solo small group pvp'rs blowing them up. So yes as a solo player I had a very large impact on EvE.
Also throughout my EvE career I have solo war decced large corps and alliances. I have introduced many Care Bears to pvp and have quite a few thank me for it because it gave them the impetus to switch from care bearing to pirating, null and starting their own empire war careers. At the end of my wars I'd usually give the ones who fought back or were nice people a T3 or something.
I have also run a pvp comp in game and always go into help to assist people.
Saying we merely whine and don't contribute is not true at all.
