Just a few buddies over the years I fly with sometimes. Okay all BS aside. The wife hates the game & even the mention of it. If I spend to much time on the computer i'm denied access to the 40ds & the silky smooth magic box, witch she uses to keep me under hee thumb. So i'm not much more than a well trained house boy who cowers in the dark under the hue of monitor light. Worth it. You're just a normal guy unlike the op.

Because some people think they know better than others and need to be brow beaten into the correct style of play. As for the question...cause I can. If you bring down a giant, you're a hero. If you kill something weak-even if it has to die-then you will endure contempt. |

Many reasons
1. Erratic schedule makes anything group-related difficult.
2. I support and occasionally code software for several hundred companies. By 17:00, I am "peopled out".
3. A prior experience as a guild master which amounted to playing den mother/scout master/guidance councilor to dozens of boys being ravaged by puberty
4. Chat channels filled with "MOAR TEARS!", "HTFU!", etc annoy me. I thought this might be a consequence of age but I realized that BBS-era "warez kiddie speak" annoyed me too.
5. Gate camping and roaming to protect what amounts to a few database tables on an Icelandic server doesn't strike me as a good time. Sneaking into them alone, on the other hand, has its' moments. |

Based on your experience with rifle teams, smaller squads and "rules of 2" work better.
You have nothing to say to most people.
You don't want to lose ships on someone elses war for losses they won't replace.
Too many ganktards camping bubbles with nothing better to do.
You flew sober in an CTA OP 1 time, and everybody else was drunk.
Learning X-07AB type system names reminds you that white kids like complexity way too much.
You are not the boss and others have not earned your respect to boss you around.
You have a problem with authority because RL with the NDAA, checkpoints, PATRIOT act, and police state have enough authority as it is, without neckbeards trying to feel just as powerful in a game.
You bothered to interact with the guy in Jita and the game felt like an episode of the Jerry Springer Show.
All the minerals you mine are belong to you, not to be turned into something a corp thief will just take later on.
Opportunity Cost means that even if you liked losing ships, you could not keep doing it forever.
You want to play with others, but until people stop trying to be the final authority on what your skills should be, you will have to train all of them up so nobody will complain.
There are too many people sitting around being ass hats and using "this is EvE" as their excuse, therefore nobody can be trusted. .

Elements of these, for me. I don't necessarily need to be the person in charge, but the person in charge DOES need to be smarter than me. Or at least better at EVE than me. Thus far, I have not found a group of people I am willing to trust. Also, not cap ships, but any losses. I don't mind losing ships in a committed action or to simply being outclassed/outnumbered, but I do mind losing ships to stupid FCs who have no idea what they're doing. |

Did you try lately to find a job irl and have your own family ?? -I gess not, you live in your imaginary world where you think you know everything about everyone because you think you exist and are better than others. Internet nerds can be weird.... Well let me give you a piece of advice, go out buy newspapers try to meet people and maybe you'll meet some girls stupid enough to make you happy 5min and I hope not cause humanity would be loosing all around, but who knows she might has well give you kids. Find a job and try rl what social experience means, try to become a little more human and dam I think it's a lost bet already. See you after life in what I'm concerned 
Thanks for your rant. This is an internet spaceship forum, but thank you for the deep insights into your life. |

I PVP solo because I can just log in and go for it and it's more challenging, therefore more rewarding.

Same here. And tbh I might have stayed the same way even in that other MMO if not for the fact that some of my RL friends had a guild going already and so I just joined that and got hooked on the whole raiding thing. But being in a guild there is all positives and no wardecs, so even though I don't do much arranged group stuff anymore I still hang about. |

A lot of good points have already been made on this thread as to the why some people - such as myself - prefer to play solo, so I won't repeat them.
I've been in corps and such a long time ago, and I'm aware there are some aspects of the game I'm missing out on because I solo. But on the other hand, from where I'm sitting at least, the sort of bullsh*t, crap and nonsense that go along with being in a corp / alliance that I don't have to put up with, more than make up for those things I may miss out on.
Some people may have all these social needs in-game that need to be catered to, or they may feel like they want to "belong", and be part of "something bigger than themselves", or simply they may just enjoy following and have others take charge and do the planning and thinking for them.
Not me. I like to play at my pace, doing whatever I want, whenever I want, and however I want to do it, without following nor babysitting others.
