I can only solo, play times and other factors have made that clear to me over my 5 years of time with EVE.
High sec missions are boring, i've done them all many times.
The difference between 0.5 and 0.4 means you might as well build a brick wall.
As a solo'er I have no choice but to come to the conclusion CCP is not interested in supporting solo game play, progress or development, as shown by the amount of effort put into it since EVE came out.
one or two new missions, just the same old with different text, hardly makes progress.
Seriously, short of joining a corp, which I can't do, I have done all that I can do and guess i'm done? |

But what is this brick wall between hi & low sec? I have not seen such, there are stargates that let you pass thru to the other side, like voodoo magic it works for every one AFAIK.
Lowsec is great place to solo, no gate bubble camps like 0.0, and with the safety of local unlike w-space. |

And why can't you join a corp?
I must admit I really get bored with this hang up that people have with MMO's that because you play will other people that you should be forced to interact with them.
There's plenty of solo stuff you can do, trader, low/null-sec exploration.missions even pvp if your lucky.

I didn't mean to sound like i was complaining.
All I am saying, Is once you have worked up to level 4 missions, as a solo'er there is no where else to go if you can't / don't join corps.
In all the years since the game came out, that one fact has not changed. I guess the general feeling is there are so few solo-only players, who enjoy combat, that there is not a need to expand that part of the game.
Yes, I have a narrow focus in EVE and I have finished all I can do, so I'm done i guess.
no need to be defensive of the game people, I enjoyed it. |

Well then, seeing as there is no solution for fixing stupidity, you should probably just biomass your character and be done with it.

This is wrong.
Solo exploration. Solo wormholes. Solo belt ratting. Solo anomaly farming. Solo epic arcs. Solo COSMOs.
Done all those have you? |

 You reported him while you are the asshat hehe
the kids these days so cute bashing around with big language unti a big meanie tells them something back.
@ the OP
level 4 high sec gets pretty boring Low sec anomalies in covert ship or the epic arc mission + Cosmos can be fun but after that you are really done for solo classic mission style content.
Yo can SOLO low class wormholes but that is just farming really there are no quests/missions so to speak there.
Those looking for the scripted type of content for a solo player have maybe a year worth of game time no more. |

I'd wager telling someone to "drink bleach" is a mild escalation of force unnecessary on these forums.
Whereas my indication that he clearly lacks the intelligence to expand beyond lvl 4 missions is quite docile.
Sweet comment tho about kids and big meanies and all. That was pretty clever. |

I play solo a lot. I don't do missions. EVE requires some imagination. I suggest you explore other games.
Also, I get tired of threads where a guy says he is quitting and expects the community to beg him to stay. Just go already. |

Have you considered soloing vanguard sites? It's quite a bit more challenging than running level 4s :D |

I'll be the first to admit that lvl 4 missions get old fast, I run one or two now and then when I'm bored, but I can't stand grinding them. However, there are TONS of other things you can do solo (or, with a pick-up group in the case of incursions). Some stuff may require more effort than sitting and doing missions (like exploring), some may involve more risk (low/null sec and wormholes), but there really is a ton of content out there that you can do solo.
Also, with regards to corps, very few of them other than giant nullsec alliances are going to be demanding of you. There are plenty of highsec corps that won't require anything at all from you and will provide some friends and people to talk to and maybe the occasional helping hand when you need it (I can think of a couple times where someone would be running a mission that was just a bit too much for them and I'd bring over a ship and help them finish it). Don't let your playtime convince you that there's no corp out there that you can join, because there are corps out there that understand that RL>Eve (most do from what I've seen).
Finally, what exactly are you looking for? If you just want more lvl 4 missions, even if they add 20 new missions, they'll get old after a while. If you're looking for lvl 5 missions in highsec, they won't. But if you're looking for stuff to do other than grinding lvl 4s that won't require a huge time commitment, there's lots of stuff out there to do. |

Have you done L4 missions for every faction?
Remember that there are stations for other factions within your own empire space you start in. They will give you different missions than what you are used to seeing out of your standard (insert empire navy station here).

Still unclear as to why you can't join a corp? We have corpies who we don't sometimes see for months, we have a few who often don't even bother to chat in corp channel, not sure why they in the corp, but hey I guess their missoning contributes to POS fuel and assisting new members, and they get access to BP and a HS POS for industry.
Many corps out there will take casual players... |

I'm in a Corp and maybe play a couple hours a day if lucky! It's a mining Corp and don't even have a mining ship yet! Though I'm working on it.

Damn, I been in a one man corp for over two years, never been in a corp at all and I still have not come close to doing all the things I want to do in eve. Everyday its a laugh (except when the nasty piwates blew up my navy geddon) (but hey I got away from them last month and they said I had warp stabs fitted and I DIDN'T). Man it just never ends.
My goal? Solo 0.0, and i am getting there.

C'mon, there's heaps to be done solo in eve! But if someone reckons they've done it all and need to leave eve because there's nothing left for them, then there's really only one thing that can be said ... Can I has your stuff?
I did try hisec mission running again a couple days ago, and agree that it gets kinda stale very quickly.
Also see some ppl suggesting that "MMORPG" does not, somehow, mean (or encourage) solo play. Strikes me that that is a complete load of twaddle.
The multiplayer part of it means nothing more than there being a group of people playing ... not necessarily that they're teaming up and doing stuff together. One of the great things, IMHO, about eve is that you can do group stuff if ya want, ya can go solo if ya want, and ya can explore any variation that interests ya and the game dynamics allow.
Good solo income? The best I've managed has been residential w-space ... with my C3 income being better than C4.
Solo mission-running? The epic mission arcs, especially the angels and guristas ones, are very good diversions from the epic-mundane of hisec lvl4s. Nullsec mission running is also an interesting challenge if you're not part of any local corp / alliance. I'm told ppl also run lvl5 missions from time to time.
Solo incursions? Yeah, well sort of. They're designed for group play but some can be soloed, although I don't think that's worth the effort.
Solo exploration? Sure, but a good exploration income is hard-work solo.
Solo industry? Absolutely, if that's your kinda thing. W-space mining, gas harvesting, and PI is way better than empire equivalents and w-space corps are often looking for dedicated industrialists ... sure that'd be solo within a corp but a lot of non-combat resource gathering can be achieved solo or semi-solo.
Go, go, go team-solo!
