Solo pvp has been dead for an extremely long time now. As amazing as those kills are, I'm not going to say solo pvp is fine because some idiots derped some black ops ships on a cruiser taking gate guns.

When people say they want to solo pve, everyone points out this is a MMO.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I know i didn't. I know it's all the rage to just post links to other forums/blogs/whatever, but if they want people here to read them, they should post it here.

You are just saying solo PvP is dead because you don't know how to do it. I solo almost every night, and have a lot of fun. I win some, I lose some, but it's all good. I make no claim to be a great PvPer, I just love to solo as much as I love to run with gangs.

Solo PvP is alive and well. A few haters love to say it is dead because they suck at it and/or are afraid to try.Pirate

Nice read. Some guys were owned by sentries xD

More than 50% of players that said "solo pvp is dead" never tried it more than 2-3 days.

Isn´t dead but it´s hard to find it, that is the real fact imo. And the patience is not a common virtue.

Solo PVP is certainly NOT dead, and neither is small-gang PVP dead. If you doubt that, come join FW. It's the new sexy. Also, Plex PVP is the savior of solo pvp. Solo PVP requires thought (gasp!) patience (double gasp!) and dedication (what does that even mean?!).

I don't always solo PVP, but when I do, I do it in a FW plex, LIKE A BOSS.

Frogblast the Vent Core! When the W'rkncacnter came, Pthia was killed, and Yrro in anger, flung the W'rkncacnter into the sun. The sun burned them, but they swam on its surface.

Dear god. Not this thread again...

Solo PVP is not dead. You just need to know how to do it.

You can't expect to log in, undock, and find an afk Navy Issue in the top belt. You must actually put in some leg work. Rather than sitting on gates in massive blobs you must find the target best suited for your current fit. Or just shoot at everything like I do.
