Because I have only a few hours (2-3) each day that I can sit around my computer, and not all of those hours are continuous (play for half an hour, go away for a few hours, come back play another hour, go away, etc). And anything corp related seems to take at least several continuous hours all at once, and if you can't do that then you're not really needed in the corp, because if you're not another gear for the machine then nobody wants you. It's that simple.
Then there are hi-sec corps like RvB that care not at all how long you can play or how much you contribute. If you're having fun in the corp, that's more than good enough. Wish there were more corps like that. |

Because I'm in the military IRL and frequently go on deployments. CEO's don't care and always kick me out of the corp for inactivity, despite explaining my RL situation and adequate notice of deployment. I am neither fanboy nor flamer. I am logic, dispassionate and cruel. |

Please set forth your specifications as to how I should alter my gameplay to please you. I apologize for playing incorrectly thus far.
Fake Edit: Actually, I don't play solo, but I don't see why you should care how anyone else plays. Make your own space game where solo play is not permitted. |

I play solo these days since those I used to fly with no longer play. Haven't run into a group quite like them since. I find nullsec boring or I'd join an alliance; I prefer small gang warfare and stalking targets.
In the meantime I'm just happy to have a reason to log in once a day, and maybe once in a blue moon crank out a new Eve video. Some things ISK can't buy. For everything else, there's Jita.

I have a life. The free time that I choose to dedicate to EVE will be spent doing what I want to do, flying the ships I want to fly, how I want to fly them, and where I want to fly them. It will NOT be spent being bitched at for participating in a CTA every ******* five minutes, flying a piece of **** ship that I had to train for because that's what the alliance decided everyone was to use for the CTA, using ****** fits because that's what will be reimbursed, to do mindless tasks that takes hours, unless you happen to lose your ******, **** fit ship, and can now log off with honor, saying that you participated (read: wasted time).

Also, I just wanted to add this, playing solo means you don't have to wait 3 hours for everyone to "get ready" or "get online".
I can log on, get in one of my ships, and go do ****, or just sit and trade in a hub and make isk either way.
Also, I'm currently working on piloting a Raven well so I can stick it in a mission hub and just do those whenever I want to (at a much more efficient rate than doing them in an Apocalypse), and then a Tengu so I can have the benefits of having a ship that can use cov ops cloak and do PvE very well, and then a curse/pilgrim for PvP. If I joined a corp, I'd probably be pressured to go for the curse/pilgrim first, and I don't want to do that. |

Quote:So you have 50M+ SP, and you still play solo because:
Seems through general consensus that the main reason is FREEDOM.
FREEDOM to do whatever you want, whenever you want, no matter what.
I have over 65 mill SP's, active for 3 1/2 years and mainly fly solo for the same reason, FREEDOM.
FREEDOM from Tyranny and Taxes.
Wait,
That was the old Battlecry for being in NPC Corp. They have Taxes now.
I still say my reason is FREEDOM.
FREEDOM of Choice.

Because I have life, family and career,
Those and Hardcore Player does not go well together in general [some exceptions are possible]
For those reason I prefer to fly in small group or solo. The few folks that share that PVE sometime weekend PVP are welcome to fly with me and I enjoy the occasional company.
But in general the classic null sec mayhem is not for me. Too much of time demand that is all.
For the causal player it is almost unavoidable to hang out in high sec where the environ is stable and for PVP kick just run a small roam on weekend since any prolonged campaigns take too much time.
Some others might oppose this but this is my experience. |

I've been solo for the last year of 3 years of play. For many of the reasons posted here. Sick of the drama and abusive idiots. This is off topic but applies also:
Never share fittings with anyone in any chat anywhere.
If you share a fitting, some loud mouth, jerk off, asswad who never spoke to you in the past will suddenly crawl out from under their rock and respond with "LOL FAIL" or "NOOB" and of course "Go back to WOW you Carebear", simply because you don't play EVE the way they play so you aren't playing properly.
To hell with them... |

100M+ SP here and i DO have almost all my skills to 5. I have had my fun with Corps and Alliances the like, but I solo mostly now because...
I already have a massive c*ck on real life, dont need to grow a digital one with a KB mandate.
Like the OP, too many CEO/Directors with with diarrhea of the mouth and a constipation of thought.
Directors like OP assuming why I do or don't do things and trying to oppressively change it by attempting to mico-manage my login times, asking me to log off when in AFK, require a misguided quota or put the alliance at risk because THEY got blown up or their ego and tiny epeen got p*ssed on some how.
I work 60+ hours a week, have a kid and social life, don't have time, compensation or inclination to educate people like OP on their assumption on why I do things... nor do I have the patience to care. And I cant compete with people who play as many hours as I spend actually working. |

It's a damn shame that it has to be like that. Honestly, CCP should shed the T20 guilt and go "yes we play this game and we might even be ravaging your pod right now. If you feel that may cause problems then there's the door". As long as IA pays attention (and doesn't try to be politically correct) we'll just (have to) trust you when it comes to playing fair.
The best thing for EVE to happen is devs actually playing more and doing things outside the half-afk comfort zone of mining/PVE, the more you guys play the more you know about the game and learn about issues and problems. Come join the fray and be one of us. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. |

Why I fly alone.
The sad simple truth is because I tried Wormhole and I felt I was in a can all day. Null was grab your ship haul stuff and stand around and get ready to fight then it never happened. Taxes for the CEO plexcards FAIL! Low security fails. No way will I risk 1 billion in ships for 20% more tech one loot. There are a few isolated high security systems left. ( Need more of them now. This is space not a bus stop in NEW YORK CITY. ) When I am alone I can be informal friends with good pilots I flew with before. Must admit I am nearing the end of CCP. Happy that CCP is back into the spaceship game verses the avetar game but it could be too late. Need to expand the universe NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Besides I love mine all day usally simply like to be left alone. ( Odd that I love to yak on Teamspeak. ) |
