Solo pvp has been dead for an extremely long time now. As amazing as those kills are, I'm not going to say solo pvp is fine because some idiots derped some black ops ships on a cruiser taking gate guns.

I know i didn't. I know it's all the rage to just post links to other forums/blogs/whatever, but if they want people here to read them, they should post it here.

You are just saying solo PvP is dead because you don't know how to do it. I solo almost every night, and have a lot of fun. I win some, I lose some, but it's all good. I make no claim to be a great PvPer, I just love to solo as much as I love to run with gangs.
Solo PvP is alive and well. A few haters love to say it is dead because they suck at it and/or are afraid to try. Join the Revolutionary Front and liberate New Eden from it's stuff.

Nice read. Some guys were owned by sentries xD
More than 50% of players that said "solo pvp is dead" never tried it more than 2-3 days.
Isn-¦t dead but it-¦s hard to find it, that is the real fact imo. And the patience is not a common virtue. Immortality is only a word. All that exists can die. Every living thing has a weapon against which it has no defense. Time. Disease. Iron. Guilt.

Solo PVP is certainly NOT dead, and neither is small-gang PVP dead. If you doubt that, come join FW. It's the new sexy. Also, Plex PVP is the savior of solo pvp. Solo PVP requires thought (gasp!) patience (double gasp!) and dedication (what does that even mean?!).
I don't always solo PVP, but when I do, I do it in a FW plex, LIKE A BOSS. Frogblast the Vent Core! When the W'rkncacnter came, Pthia was killed, and Yrro in anger, flung the W'rkncacnter into the sun. The sun burned them, but they swam on its surface. |

Dear god. Not this thread again...
Solo PVP is not dead. You just need to know how to do it.
You can't expect to log in, undock, and find an afk Navy Issue in the top belt. You must actually put in some leg work. Rather than sitting on gates in massive blobs you must find the target best suited for your current fit. Or just shoot at everything like I do.

This to David Rockefeller, Sept. 23, 1994-á "This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long - We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." |

I remember my last strictly 1v1 pvp in low sec. Was my Manticore vs a Taranis. Was when my Manticore still had cruise missiles. He was like 100km off. I thought, what the heck, I uncloaked and engaged him. I got popped naturally, but it was very close. One more volley, he would have popped, was down to structure. Was the most fun I had in a PvP fight. That was when you could still actually find 1vs1 fights in low sec and 0.0, and people were actually willing to engage in them.

It's fake.
Had it been real a drake would have warped in and killed him, right before the first black ops would have died. GÇ£The best way to keep something bad from happening is to see it ahead of time, and you can't see it if you refuse to face the possibility.GÇ¥ |

I used to think low of my pvp abilities because I felt that most of my kills were due to the enemies being ****-fit or making obvious mistakes. How can you be proud after winning that sort of fight?
Then I started watching solo pvp videos from people who know what they are doing - and realized that the only reason they can get away with seemingly impossible stunts is not because of their own god-like skills but because their enemies derp all the time.
What is "seemingly impossible" is usually impossible if your enemy doesn't make mistakes - whether your name is John Doe or Garmon.
The "trick" to solo pvp is to gamble on your enemies derping frequently while trying to make few mistakes of your own. I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |

You are an NPC corp alt, so any argument you make is invalid.
But you are right about this, my most impressive kills were usually because the other guy made some catastrophic mistake. Likewise my most embarrassing losses were because I screwed up in some fatal way (burning out my guns, spamming "keep at range" on the sun instead of my opponent and wondering why it isn't working, etc.) The fact is, most EVE players suck at solo PvP when you get right down to it, and once you have had a little practice, you can often gamble on the other guy screwing up more often than you do. I often tell new players just to attack everyone they see out solo, regardless of what the other guy is flying (with some qualifications) because they might just screw up and let you get away with an awesome killmail, especially in situations where they didn't expect to be attacked and weren't ready for it.
