Missions & Complexes

A "blob" is self defined.

If you bring 6 to kill 4, because one of those 4 is a Falcon, are you blobbing?

Common sense will tell you that the fight is near enough even - yet if the smaller side loses, they will "LOL U NEED TO BLOB TROLOLOL"

If you're engaging larger forces deliberately, or not engaging on your terms, then you have already failed and the number of people on your lossmail means ****-all.

dunkofs.

Try solo PvP. It's a challenge, but it is do-able & very rewarding once you get hang of it. You will still lose ships but when you do, it would have been a more exciting experience than losing your ship because you were primaried in a blob warfare. You will think about how you might have piloted differently to win the engagement or save your ship at least, and over the months and years it all adds up. Gate camps are avoidable too once you get hang of it, especially in low-sec you would have to be unlucky/run against a very good camp to lose your ship at gate. This sounds unrealistic when you hear it now, but trust me you will get there. Also, once you start to PvP suddenly every single ship in EvE starts to look interesting. PvE setups are all about efficiency but PvP setups tend to be situational and you can get a lot more creative with your choice of modules and piloting tactics = more solo fun for you.

I enjoy solo-play very much, both PvE and PvP. Don't bracket a half of the solo-gaming content as offlimits. There is absolutely no reason why it should be that way.

To get back to the OP. If all you want to do is run missions, there are other games more suited to that. Please go play them

No. If he's willing to pay $15 a month to run missions in Eve, by all means he should stick around. Mostly because he likes it and there's nothing wrong with that, but also because it helps support Eve and gives people like me the opportunity for profit. I like missionbears, they're good for my wallet.

Also considering the horrible player corps in this game which 95%+ fall under only way I would play this game is solo. I have done all the 0.0 stutter death pod wake up in the station warfare also and it is boring waste of time.

There are more than missions though to do solo. Trade, exploration, PVP, cosmos et al.

Hi OP ^^

I had the same reaction as you to the game, although a lot of the 6 years I played was on and off, so no,I havent grinded thousands of missions, but you don't need to to feel burned out

What I did was trying my hand at solo exploration in low and null sec and I did so in a Tengu,,,and yes, this was a totally new challenge to me: evading hostile, scanning, learning and documenting the sites you did and eventually running into something you're shocked by, like a 10/10 complex (Serp Provincial HQ, Final Escalation with Privateer Admiral Heysus....I eventually got him down, hardest thing I did in EVE :\ ) and being on the brink of dieing every second you're not careful enough ^^

I also try solo PvP, with limited succes, and yes, even carebears like you and me can do it with some will and research. I died a lot , made a few kills and lost tons of ISK already in a month ( A Legion with a confused fit...oh dear, oh dear, baddie detected )

I'm no longer bored by the game now, I actually feel I have to walk on my toes each time I do one of these things and I am happy to learn something new even if the shame of my last ship loss or a bad engagement is almost unbearable

Hope you'll find some new inspiration.....and if everything just fails, watch the flowers and the bees outside, calm little distraction :)

At max skills, implants and boosters, it's possible to do with t2 fit loki. Sig tank. Don't expect to get paid solo though, lol.
