In one word: yes! Boredom is a constant companion for a solo player in EVE, and while I cope rather well with that, many others don't or didn't. Oh, sure, there is excitement, too, from time to time, but it's a trickle, not exactly a torrent.
My experience with EVE has been that the things that are boring when solo also tend to be boring when in groups. It's the groups that make the game interesting: mixing with other people in an MMO is what the game is all about, after all

That may be true for you. I tend to enjoy this MMO for other reasons.
One is for the permanence of it. What happens in EVE happens for real in a way - nobody can just reload the game, undo or unsay their mistakes. There is no other New Eden cluster to move to if I screw up in this one. For a game, that is refreshingly meaningful.
The other reason is I enjoy the life other people bring to this game, just as I can enjoy the goings-on in a crowded park downtown, even though none of the people are my friends. Now, I'm not drawn to seek them out and get to know them - I have friends already. No way I'm going to do that on the net. Some acquaintances, maybe, but I wouldn't want to feel obliged to them and I'd feel bad if they counted on me in any way.
I'm rather happy about how the latter turns out for me - lots of drama here. Not so content about the first - much of what I'd like to do there is terribly boring. |

Ship spinning solo play?
Pfft, yeah because Incarna was totally multiplayer play.

Interesting subject seems like there is no 100% right position beyond CCP should appreciate 100% of it's subscribers, solo or multiplayer. |

Think what the OP is getting at is that if CCP allow the 'solo' aspect of ship spinning (very debatable that this can even be considered as an activity as such) he wants CCP to allow more content for solo play to appease a very tiny part of the player base. No doubt I will be corrected if I have this wrong.
I will point out that this is a MMO....guess what the MM stands for? Give you a hint, solo isn't mentioned anywhere.
I have read a number of proposals on the forums of late that seem to indicate that a very small (and vocal) minority don't actually want to play EVE at all. They want their solo mining/ship building/ratting empire with no risk or PVP whatsoever. That, my friends, would no longer be EVE and you would have solo content as you would be the only one playing it.
Don't support this proposal at all. |

the incarna release forced us into a single player resource hog that boged down the game.
Ship spinning redeams it again in allowing something other then a blank image to take the place of captain quarters.
I multibox, and my cpu is not a godbox, I can't do captains quarters on each or any account when doing so.
Whats the problem, they can fix things for a multi player game, till then, ship spin. |

goodness such a big supporter of MM ..... wonder why you are the only ( aka solo ) member of your corp? don't you play well with others? all single member corps should be banned on the basis of not being MM to stay consistent with your theme right?
Some players of EVE are not afraid to venture out into the void alone, while others need the support of numbers to do anything at all. I feel pity for those players like smiling menace who need to be in a gang all the time, safety in numbers right hero?
So if i read this correctly when players are doing missions let's say level 1 distribution they are not really playing EVE at all because they are 1 player in one ship without the need for other players to do anything but gank them. So you believe all PVE that does not take more then one player is not playing EVE at all right?
Maybe CCP should design a class of ship that takes more then one person to operate that way no one would ever not be playing the MM way! They could name it the "Herd Class" so you sheeple would feel safer.
Don't support those afraid to undock alone at all.
