You are anti-social, and fear crowds of 2 or more people.

You were born without a tongue and can not use voice coms.

You are afraid the 3 capital ships you have will be lost in some alliance battle, and no one will care.

Bubbles make your implants go away.

You flew drunk in an CTA OP 1 time, and now nobody trusts you.

Learning X-07AB type system names reminds you of Algebra.

You are not the boss and others are not as effective or precise as you are.

You have a problem with authority becuase you are not the authority.

You trusted this guy in Jita and lost alot of ISK.

All the minerals you mine are free, just look at your wallet.

Opportunity Cost is a thinly disguised way of saying no matter what you do, you could do something else more profitable.

You want to play with others, but until ALL your skills are 5, you should probably wait.

This is E V E, and you trust NO ONE.

Dear OP, if you're struggling to understand why there are so many experienced players choosing to play solo, perhaps you should try it. Sounds like you were too eager to jump into corp life (aka being someone else's *****) and missed out on the satisfaction and challenge of running your own show - in your own time.

There are plenty of good reasons why experienced players choose the solo path. Here are a couple of options you missed:

You have a full family, social and work life and you have no desire to spend more than 5 or 6 hours a week on a computer game. You'd prefer to be watching your kids play sport, down at the pub with mates or shagging the missus. You therefore cannot reliably commit time and effort to a player corp and all the time-consuming bullshit that goes with it.

You couldn't stand taking orders from some geek who has never led, managed or achieved anything in real life.

Now I have a couple of questions for you. Your killboard indicates you stick to highsec and blow up mainly pods and industrials.

Ok, I admit to doing it myself, but why aren't you bored of that yet?

Is this the career you would recommend for the solo, 'anti-social' types?
