Apparently, since in the last few days everytime i try to engage one they run away.
Granted i may be exagerating and maybe flying stuff more expensive myself but even when i was out in cheap stuff people would still avoid me..
Has FW really become this blobfest farmfest area where no one actually enjoys a challenge or atleast the thrill of engaging something with a slim chance of winning in something cheap purely for the fun of it?
Or was it like this always and has never changed? Cause i don.t remember it beeing so bad before..
Im not space rich personaly and im not good, actually i consider myself horrible yet if im flying t1 frigs il take any fight ( within reason not a frig vs dual web vexor etc ) because they are cheap and easly replaceble due to the nature of fw beeing such an activity where you can also make isk,decent isk in fact.
So im curious why few people feel the same? Has it become that difficult to re-stock?
I.ve only just returned to fw a few days ago but im starting to think i.ve made a mistake.
P.s. If you believe this thread is a whine/rant stealth or not stealth thread then so be it,i don.t care. Im just looking for some answers.
-á- I am the commanding officer , u should adress me as sir !

Where are you flying? Roaming? Sitting in a system waiting for people to come to you?
I will admit that the past few weeks that EU evenings have seemed pretty quiet in terms of the fights I've been getting. When I look at the KB seems lots of the action happens in the USTZ.
But yeah, there does seem to be a bit of a lull at the moment.
Best suggestion: Recruit, recruit, recruit.
Bringing more people into the warzone on all fronts will definitely improve this. We need to clear any negative air in regards to FW and start getting more players into the fray.

there is couple skilled pilots around who will kill you on 1 vs 1 and then there is blobs and farmers who will run.
FW does not give real challenge for anyone so better to look for something else. |

I was talking in terms of the solo fights as opposed to the stuff in Has that's going on. Thanks for bringing it up though as this will also be another reason there will be fewer targets around generally. A vast number of people are is Has fighting the good fight.

The EU TZ is extremely docile and more occupied with doing anything BUT PvP (plex running, missions, ship spinning, etc) unless it is at a predetermined time.
I am guilty of it too. Not a lot of time lately so I'd rather log in and grab some cash to burn for when I get more time to play the game than engage in random encounters against Worms and Garmurs.
T1 ships are not expensive. But they are downright irrelevant except a select few. Excluding navy frigs like Comets and Slicers which should just be T2 anyway. |

It's ******* sad really, the situation of FW lately.
Wasn't like this, but in the last week or so i'm seeing amounts of cowardice that boggle my mind.
I had 16 (SIXTEEN) consecutive escapes from gal mil 2 days ago. I was flying a tristan first, then it being too threatening i went to breacher, then i finally tried with a torm. Nada.
I have small squids gang running away from my solo blueballed self. A 5 man gang not sliding into a plex where i'm sitting in my slicer, turns out after i bounce and engage outside they were mwd as well, lol. I had pirate frigs run away from my t1 and having them tell me they fly them because they're scary and people leave them alone. I had dessies run away from my frig. AFs.
Most absurd episode tho happened in Innia, i blind warp at 70 into a large plex, in a slicer, when i'm finally in d-scan range i see 2 breachers and a worm. I take a moment to unclench my butthole and OH mwd before i land. I land into scram range of one of the breachers. I tell myself, "oh well, **** happens". And then the unthinkable. They run. 3v1.
My balls are the deepest blue. |

I would say the Derp Merlin is one of the most relevant fits around.
As for the difficulty in finding 1v1 fights, I truly can not comment as I don't 1v1 much. I know there are certain pilots that, if they are alone in system are unlikely to be blob bait or looking to swarm over me. This also applies to some corps and alliances. Realistically the best thing you can do is fly whatever you're comfortable with and warp into people/hold your ground against whoever comes at you. From this you will eventually figure out which names in local will blob and swarm you and which ones just want some fun.
Location matters too! If you're in an area that sees a lot of roams pass through it then you're likely to get blobbed. Same goes for if you're lurking near or in a staging system.
Finally, you can't avoid a whole alliance because some of their pilots are nerds who swarm either. You'll have to judge on a pilot by pilot basis. You will die a lot as you learn who is and isn't a good idea to fight. |

The FW zones are offering very little at the moment, at least in my timezone.
FW used to be marketed as a place where you can just undock a T1 frigate and find fights on your doorstep. Anyone that was to tell a newbie this right now would be a liar. |

I went into a 3v1 the other night in small plex with the hope of popping one or two before I died. Apparently I was too scary and another 2 came in to make sure I died (I had a hookbill in structure when I popped). There are still plenty of people out there willing to fight, but you just have to find them in the risk averse ocean of farmers (on both sides). There has also been a large exodus from FW of the solo oriented corps in the last few months and you have more fleet oriented corps left.
At the same time, when I'm flying a T1 frig I will run away when the other side brings 3 destoryers (potentially sniper ones). I don't just give away free killmails unless I think I can actually kill something myself before I die. 1v1 T1 frig vs destroyer, sure I'll try it. It's not that I'm risk averse, its that I don't take fights I have 0% chance of killing anything.

Well ofc im not saying people should just give away free killmails , i don't fight when i know for certain i have absolute no chance either , but the majority of folks out there run even when they could have a chance .
The funny bit is , last night when i was roaming , i entered a couple of plexes to try and catch the dudes but found out they where allies / purple yet in that split second of seeing the color in overview they just dissapeared .. so even blues run away from pretty much anything ..
Talk about a lack of warriors within my own miltia if guys warp out the plex so fast at the sight of another ship on scan even tough no wt's where in system ...

I tend to break up the current war zone pilots as follows:
Gank-Bear: Always flies with implants and booster alt. Will not engage unless at least 3:1 advantage in numbers.
Farmer-Bear: Will run away when ANYTHING appears on dscan.
Deplex-Bear: Like farmer bear, but their main(s) will appear within a few minutes for a fight
Fleet-Bear: An actual PVPer, they just don't know how to solo. If they decide to engage, they will do so with their entire fleet. Unless you have a comparable fleet size/comp, somebody is going to get blobbed.
Link-Bear: An "elite" solo PVPer who always flies with implants and links. You can get a fight from them at will, but its usually not a fight you want to take unless you are also a Link-Bear.
Solo-Bear/Multi-Boxer-Bear: This is an actual, honest to God, solo (or solo human) PVPer. You can get a fight from them at will. However, after they get murdered constantly by Link-Bear, they will start training for links themselves to also become a Link-Bear.
There are a lot less farmer-bears than there used to be, but they are still out there. Deplex-Bear is really only found in home systems. Fleet-Bears and Link-Bears are everywhere. Solo-Bear's are a needle in a haystack, but they are out there. It sounds like you are a solo-bear and are looking only for other solo-bears. They are out there, but its hard.

After I'm done moving all my crap there will be one more of these out and about from time to time. However, I think my link toon is done in two weeks . |

I will just throw in my point of view for you to ridicule at your leisure but it may help shed light on the state of solo play in FW, this is my only character ever in EVE and it is about a years worth of play considering breaks etc. and I have discussed this with other newish pilots.
When you actually successfully engage in solo pvp one or more of the following happens:
1) The enemy pilot is genuinely interested in solo PVP but is one ship class more powerful than yours meaning the odds are against you.
2) The enemy pilot is baiting you and you get ganked after you engage.
3) The enemy pilot looks like they are soloing but they have links in system giving them a subtle edge and is not really soloing.
4) the enemy pilot is soloing but has hundreds of millions - billions of ISK invested in implants giving them an edge.
5) The pilot is genuinely looking for roughly fair soloing but is more skilled at flying than you (fair enough)
6) The pilot is looking for roughly fair solo PVP but is an old character and probably has most support skills at level 5
7) Pilot is roughly the same skill as a player and your character skills are roughly equal.
8) Pilot is either, less skilled, in a worse ship, has less support skills etc than you and is nit bait for a gank; this being the only scenario where you start with an advantage.
Most new players are not going to see scenario 8 very often and every time they lose to one of the other options they feel bad and see the benefit of group PVP. Mix into this that they have not figured out how to make enough ISK to support constant losses then their wallet cannot take 10 mil (to have a semi decent fitted T1 Frig/Dessie) losses at a rapid pace. Additionally if they don't have ISK but keep it up anyway they may be relying on corp ships - in which case if they die they feel even worse because they are now loosing corp assets (whether their corp minds or not doesn't matter).
Finally if they are in a corp that cares about its reputation then they will start to get comments (or think that their corp mates are thinking) from their corp mates about how they are making the corp look like an easy target. Which again makes them feel bad!
Myself I still have yet to get my first solo kill and I try to mitigate the pressure of conceding kills and ISK on solo adventures to a limited number of solo deaths in a time period. If that limit has expired then sorry I will not engage unless it is group PVP.
In short solo PVP in FW is not noob friendly at all, you don't have the skills (as a player), the skills in character, the ISK, the link alt, the implants or the morale to compete. Unfortunately the only way to get these is to soldier on regardless which can be draining.
Anyway if you want solo PVP in FW then the community has to consciously reverse the arms race that puts new pilots at a disadvantage and encourages them towards fleet PVP.
As I say just my point of view, fortunately for me my corp are pretty laid back and are happy for me to die in a redo culprits fashion as long as I learn something. How many corps and FC's are not so tolerant?

I'd reccomend RvB if you want more solo PVP.
FW has more variety of "things to do," thus you run into more people doing something other than what you want to do.

all fair arguments.
I'd just like to point out regarding n. 1, that a ship one class superior doesn't necessarily mean an advantage.
A guy that moderately knows what he's doing knowing the ins and out of his ship and his target, and the right fit for the job, can kill any navy frig in a normal t1, even some pirate ones, not to mention certain match ups against dessies AFs and inties that are just easy as pie, some cruisers too tbh.

yeah solo's been pretty blah in Metro too lately. I've been thinking of leaving but the system layout in this area is pretty sweet and at least I can grind for LP while baiting for fights. I feel like the abundance of uncounterable **** in space has had a chilling effect on solo. You'd have to be completely braindead to think I would, in any T1 frig, stick around for a fight against a ship with a 90% web, or 2400 m/s AB speed, or 300 drone DPS, or arty RFFs that can disengage anything the moment they're starting to lose. I think it's about time to reclassify pirate and faction frigs as T2 ships because they're better matched for fights with combat interceptors and AFs than for fights with T1 frigs which is what the lamers who fly them seem to be chasing after because hey, who wants to risk their 100m frig in a fight that they might actually lose? /rant
There's nothin' like skating away from a fight with the hull on fire, some mods burned out and a cargohold full of loot.

Also, while i agre solo pvp in FW is not noob friendly at all, i categorically refuse the statement that you can't compete in solo pvp, being it 1v1 or 1vx, unless you have implants and links and super pimp ships accompanied with perfect skills. That is just not true. I've been doing it since my first day in pvp, in fact it's the great part of what i've been doing since my first day in pvp , and i'm by no means a bitter vet or some super expert guy that can go around teaching how to be leet, i'm a guy with less than 12 months of active training that has been blapped a lot since going out with 1 mil SP (and some of them in exploration xD ) in meta fit frigs, and slowly but surely got to the point where i explode more stuff than what i lose, by means of a cold assesment of what went wrong, and distinct lack of self preservation, pretty much going leeroy on anything's ass
I agree with most of what you say. I pilot who moderately knows what they are doing can fly against the numbers and win for any combination of reasons. However many of those reasons are unlikely to be within reach of new players. (Links in system, piloting skill, support skills, quality of mods being fitted, quality of implants etc)
Ironically the OP's thread title may not be being sarcastic when it comes to new players. T1 frigates may be too expensive!

Well how about this potential solution:
Each warzone creates an intel channel - say 'Amarr Matar Fught Club'
The intel channel is open to all initially slouch the moderators can ban pilots who misbehave.
The channel can be populated by pilots in the warzone who are interested in solo PVP.
Pilots post in the channel what they are currently looking to solo in and other pilots who are interested in a fight bid back until a fight is accepted. The 2 (or more?) piolts then meet up at a location of mutual choosing and have fun!
E.g Nameira "Want to Fight (WTF) Faction Frigate, 20 mil SP, No Links, clean clone.
(Soon to be Victorious Soler' "Nameira, T1 Dessie, 18 mil SP, no links, 20k ISK implants.
Nameira "'insert name here' accepted - private convo for location."
Accusations of cheating could be provided to the channel mods plus evidence with temporary/permanent bans from the channel being options. Or the cheater could re-imburse the victim as a lighter sentence.

Nameira "'insert name here' accepted - private convo for location."
Accusations of cheating could be provided to the channel mods plus evidence with temporary/permanent bans from the channel being options. Or the cheater could re-imburse the victim as a lighter sentence.
Just a thought...
This is not what solo PVP is about.

Now lets be honest here, some of you guys doesnt want "good fights". You are just after easy pray to pump up your killboard with. Many people here complain that they are not getting enough fights. well stop flying boosted worms and garmurs vs newbies with rifters and atrons and fights might be coming your way. Fly something people want to engage and you will get fights in no time. some of you only want them to engage you so you can get your daily harvest of kills and a green killboard. This is a prime example of what happens in the warzone.
Linked Garmur comes to system tries to chase T1 frigs and T1 destroyers for easy kills. Inhabitants ships up to daredevils or other ships better suited to fight garmurs. Garmur player see's inhabitants wants engage his garmur and he leaves the system.
They are just as risk averse as everyone else and they are not interested in fighting fights where the opponent can attack back. Complaining about newbies not wanting to engage things they have little to no chance in beating is just selfish thinking. The game does not revolve around you getting cheap kills. I'd say its easy to get fights with expensive ships aswell. all you need to do is be around a factions homesystem for while and the inhabitants will give you fights. But im suspecting that is not what some of you are after.
if you are really desperate for some instant solo PvP I suggest flying some unpopular T1 frig and you will have a fight in 10 minutes. And if you fly worms and garmurs you have to deal with that not everyone wants to engage you. It wont change in time either. |

Strange all I fly is rifter and I get gf's all the time. Maybe stop flying daredevils and worms?
The Rifter is a very powerful combat frigate and can easily tackle the best frigates out there.
