For years I have gotten the comment "Eve is not a single plyr game, you are doing it wrong". Odd that as I have a great time roaming and occasionally interacting with fellow players. I work 10-12 hours a day at my job as part of a team. I enjoy it. Once I clock out I have no desire to coordinate yet another team effort. Nor do I wish to take orders in my off time. I would like to see more content geared to solo play, and please CCP stop nerfing me. My Battleship used to be a powerhouse that gave me a reasonable chance of surviving an encounter with multiple hostiles. Now I have to hide behind magic and trickery, gimping my ride for survivability over utility. When I srtarted playing eve in 2005 the average players online was about 4000. You could roam and explore for days and not see anybody. When someone did come along they were generally glad to see you ! LOL to that now, huh?
Wormhole space was an excellent idea and just needs a few thousand more systems and a real maze made out of it and it would be perfect. I have a good time playing this game my way, and I dont believe I'm "doing it wrong". Have fun with it and now you understand 1 Lone Wolf....or Mouse, as it fits better sometimes.

Eve was always intended to be about interactive play. If you can squeeze massive single player fun out of it, good for you. However, you will never see effort put specifically towards single-player play, as this would actually be counter-productive to what they are designing for.

Never ever let anyone tell you that you're doing it wrong. What do they know? This is a game. You play it the way you want to play it. Especially if it's a game you pay money for.

All the world's a stage and all the men and women are the players.

Really? I just got a jumble of:

  • I choose to play Eve the hard way
  • Why is the hard way so damn hard?
  • Eve was better in 2005 because it was empty.
  • Wormholes are cool (???)
  • I am an awesome lone wolf


Solo play is hard because it should be and makes sense for it to be. I can't think of any MMO or other multiplayer PvP-centric game where you can go head to head by yourself against a group of people and not have a really hard time.

As for the rest of that... I mean, I suppose it's very nice hot air or something?

its offtopic but i can think of at least three games i played that actually allows you to go 1 vs. group of people and still kick their bottoms

ofc it would require massive overhaul of eve pvp,including wasd moving,so its not gonna happen - however it would enhance pvp imho if you could outmanouver players in pvp

5. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.
