Why would you play a MMO by yourself?

Hell, even a casual newb like myself found a corp/Alliance that I could do some small roaming gang pvp with.

Because like I said in the OP... Roaming around for an hour or two just to zerg a shuttle at a warp gate is not worth my time.

Flying alone is like going into any prison, telling every prisoner off, and hoping to get out alive. While a prisoner might kill you, and then be killed afterwards - it'll be worth it to that one prisoner.

i fly solo alot, and get alot of kills. Maybe if you relied more on your skills instead of the numbers you have (depending on the engagement ofc), you wouldnt have this same outlook.

 

I 1v1 regularily, and it's nice. But it's not what I expect when I go into a fight. I always expect my opponent to have backup - and so do I. If my opponent doesn't have backup, well, I'll call in my own if I'm loosing. And that's how it's like in any real fight as well - if you ask me.

i hope this isnt an admittance to dishonoring 1v1's regularly.

 

 

There's no reason in engaging in a lost battle.

except to have fun. I go in to battles where the odds are against me and lately, i've been winning ... alot.... Learn to play the game to have fun, instead of alphaing everything in  a 30 man fleet.

 

broken outlooks on eve are broken. You can solo just fine, albeit maybe not in 0.0 that much, but in low sec sure. The great thing about soloing is chosing your battles and not haveing 10 other people slow you down. And dishonoring 1v1's just because you're losing is a pathetic excuse to dishonor a 1v1. Dont fly what you cant afford to lose.

The thing about EVE and its pvp is that it mirrors reality in many regards....

It's all about tricks, traps, maneuver and intelligence.  I've *chased* 4-5 pirates in better ships multiple jumps back to thier base because the group I flew with had a reputation for always having backup around....that one time I was solo and laughing my ass off the whole way..but they had no way of knowing. I've spent hours playig cat and mouse in a recon cruiser trying to get precise enemy numbers and ship types while two fleets maneuvered. I've made good calls as a Fleet Commander and a few bad ones that stung rather a lot.

But the bottom line is most people don't like to lose; so unless they are out in a "lolz pvp" ship and clone, they don't take many risks.

PS We never agree to 1vs1 A) because we assume the other side will cheat anyways and B) because there is nothing in it for us when we have the numbers

Its a major flaw in the game design.  The game insists you either run away immedietly, or accept that you will probably be killed.

Flaw in game design? How?

Note:
After reading the posts here, seems like many people would enjoy nanos back, hehe :-)

Nano has never been gone, it's just that many people failed to adapt. My scimitar is still flying 2.8k/s, more than enough for most things.

What the OP seems to be complaining about is ridiculous. Not everyone is out to get on the killboards. Some are but many arent. Some are defending thier miners in low sec, some are waiting in ambush for the alliance that war dec's them. Many possibilities.

There is no such thing as a fair fight in EVE. If you find yourself in a fair fight someone isnt doing something right.. Bottom line.

Yes, and dies horribly fast...

Speed tank is dead apart from Vaga.

I think what he might mean is he puts shields on his mids and nanos/injectors on the lows. Well that's what I thought he meant?
