I played back in 2013 and enjoyed low sec faction warfare. I stopped playing due to other priorities, but came back in 2015. I'm finding very few quality solo PVP fights inside plexes these days. I believe the mechanic of having 7 rats per plex has driven too many folks out of FW plexing, reducing the likeilhood of finding solo PVP fights with pilots that aren't highly skilled veterans.
Is CCP considering a reduction in rats to something between 2-4 to encourage more plexing and therefore more solo PVP fights? Come on ccp, help us anti-social frigate fighters out.
What other alternatives are there for solo pvp where we can hope to get 1-2 solo fights or more per hour? |

What on earth does killing a rat that dies when you look at it funny have to do with finding solo fights in FW? It's not like they spawn at once.The only time the rat is ever an issue is in a med or large plex when you're flying a frigate because you aren't likely to have the dps to kill it in a timely fashion. In small gangs its not even an issue then.

Absolute masters of over shipping for even the slightest threats. If you want good fights you're in the wrong corp. Your bro's are pretty much known for sitting in their home system and constantly up-shipping. So much so that many of us just ignore ppl from their corp in local because there's bound to be a blob complete w ecm and logi just around the corner.
Additional rats slows down the time to plex an outpost, sometimes by 3-4 minutes if you fly T1 Frigs. The additional time reduces isk/hr, which in turn reduces pilots in FW as a way to make isk, which in turn reduces solo PVP targets. It's called economics, but wouldn't expect you to understand the subtleties of basic economics.
Not all of us are full time Eve Online winners like yourself. So if you only get 4-6 hours a week to look for good solo fights, you don't land nearly as many anymore now that plexing isn't a great money maker. |

You know it's funny, your name looked familiar and I was pretty certain you were someone I tried to solo PVP. I looked up the notes I left on you in game.
This is all I wrote for you Daemun Khanid "Blob Fighter"
Maybe you want to try some solo PVP some day? |

Well yes. That's pretty much why the respawning rats were added. But the vast majority of the players who were turned off plexing with respawning rats were semi-afk warp stabbed farmers who never stuck around to fight anyway. You may see less ships in plexes now but you probably have a better chance that the ones in there will actually fight you rather than warping out the second you show up. Certainly in the last few months I have seen way more people stick around to fight in plexes than used to be the case. |

If youre worried about how much time killing rats takes then your farming not looking for fights and as already mentioned ppl there to farm are going to run from the fight anyway.
As for your notes I dunno. I dual box and seldom fly w more than 1-2 other pilots max so I guess if 3 ships is a blob u got me. Guilty as charged. But then I'm not the one complaining about finding solo fights. Not impressed w your corps overkill habits but I've got my own solution to that. Ignore them or blob the blob.

Interesting, I haven't had that experience. The only fights I've been getting are super-vets, who kick my tail each time, which is fine b/c most are cool enough to give pointers, but man would love to see more average pilots like myself out there. Maybe I just need to give it more time.
In your all's opinion FW still the easiest place to find good 1v1? If so I'll keep circlin that beacon.... |

You are in the wrong warzone for me....
....but I will find you....
...and I will kill you.
Quickly, QUICKLY THERE'S NO TIME!
Also if you want more solo pvp, leave FW. Then you have even more targets to play with.
