We actually look for dumb Null Sec F%#s that do nothing BUT blob. Seems to me the collective mentality of a group goes down the more their numbers go up. But by all means lock up and hit F1 like a good lemming.

I seem to have no problem with solo pvp neither does my corp or many other players.

Maybe your just mad cause you can no longer jump your 10bil nightmare into a camp in m-o and get back to gate with all the recons and tier3's about.

Solo and small gang is not dead, if it was my corp would be as well.

This is really just getting silly. I can still do it because I can afford a ship built to fight the blob. I am in the 5%, however you should not have to spend billions of isk in order to small gang pvp. That is what this thread is about, Im sick and tired of you people that refuse to read the thread and just bash the OP without thought.

Now stop and add something constructive.

ACtually, PvPing in cheap-ass (or free) ships has always been easier than in those costing some isk.

Pretty much.

My corp is a cheap-ass/free solo/small gang PvP corp and in my opinion we're doing alright. You don't need a bling-Cynabal to fight a blob. You could just go fight something else. Or... just throw your five T1-fit frogates at their blob, kill a couple of interceptors, die, and laugh all the way home, where you get more frigates.

Whenever i try to pvp, i try to do it solo.

I always get my ass stomped by guys with faction/t2 ships with a dickload of skills, and that in effect leaves me without the ability to get experience, short of 'just dump money into it.'

Did you just admit to seeking out easy fights instead of challenging ones?

Pretty much.

I call BULLSHIT.

EVE pvp can be traced back to many nerfs and buffs. EVE went from a game where solo, and small gang PVP actually used to be very abundant but we'll take a look at why it has become so hard to do anything without a blob behind you.

In no particular order -


6) ECM drones - most overpowered module in the game, anyone can fit them and they seem to be just as strong as a maxed skilled falcon. Yes smartbombs kill them, but if they jam you and you kill them they still hold the jam for 20 seconds, which is huge in PVP. Also ECCM modules do not work!




Anyways there used to be a time before any of this, and it was wonderful. But if you can overcome all these things and more, then you are in the 5%. So GL to everyone, and remembering all these changes just makes me sad 8(.

lol

Quick addition to number 6: I used two ECCMs in an abaddon during a fleet fight, and i got jammed by a hornet ec-300. How is that even possible with them drones having 1 ecm jam strength, and the abaddons sensor strength at atleast 60+ with two eccms....

Chance based mechanics suck? How is it that in Civilization a spearman used to be able to defeat a tank (sometimes)?

That is why we run with smart bombs on ships. Eliminates the opponents drones, then you can drop your own.
