Prolly time, risk aversion, pimple-face CTA aversion, lack of anything interesting aversion, and being forced to fly some crappy fleet fitted BS rather than their bling bling pimped out Tengu.

Then there is the fact you make boatloads of isk in empire doing nothing and local is usually far more entertaining. Then there is shooting haulers and AFK shuttles and snipping orders with 0.01.

0.0 does have the fun filled evenings of gate camping, topped off with POS capping and a dash of station service bashing. All for the benefit of some alliance douche who will never care who you are and what you did for him.

u mad bro?

Ouch! I'll keep my mind out of the gutter on this one, sadly.

Now if it was your kid it would totally be ok.

Or he has 12 alts and quite literally is the sovereign king of some dead end highsec system, so rich that he's using PLEX as separators in his hanger.

Only 1 alt, and yes living off of PLEX for both accounts. But I did resub my main for 3 months with cash after CCP Hilgar posted his...apology? eulogy? Brilliant sales recovery speech?

You were born without a tongue and can not use voice coms.

You are afraid the 3 capital ships you have will be lost in some alliance battle, and no one will care.

Bubbles make your implants go away.

You flew drunk in an CTA OP 1 time, and now nobody trusts you.

Learning X-07AB type system names reminds you of Algebra.

You are not the boss and others are not as effective or precise as you are.

You have a problem with authority becuase you are not the authority.

You trusted this guy in Jita and lost alot of ISK.

All the minerals you mine are free, just look at your wallet.

Opportunity Cost is a thinly disguised way of saying no matter what you do, you could do something else more profitable.

You want to play with others, but until ALL your skills are 5, you should probably wait.

This is E V E, and you trust NO ONE.

I left the only corp I've ever been in to go do solo stuff, and by the time I had done everything I wanted to do, I was playing so little that there didn't seem to be a point in joining a corp.

Also this:
You are anti-social, and fear crowds of 2 or more people.

I was actually thinking of joining a corp again soon, if only to get back into 0.0 again.

Trust is an issue that must have worth to both parties involved, if party A doesn't value giving trust and assumes the party B naively gives it way to screw him over (scams, corp theft, corp infiltration, podding after paying ransom) then trust has zero value in EVE; excluding the case of Chribba who is just to halfassed to defend himself solo but has earned enough respect from others who will do it for him. Since the vast majority of EVE doesn't give respect to others so you can /soapboxexcuse "Play the game you want" /soapboexcuse end then no I don't trust you at all and no way in hell I will respect you enough to give you that trust because today you might seem trustful but tommorow you might screw me over.

I am a solo player and none of the above points fit.
I'm interacting with others plenty, no need for any kind of "group activity".

OP, my main has 40m skillpoints, and i say that this is a valuable list for not going to 0.0. Especially the points with CTA´s and bad CEO´s.

I´ll wait to go back to null till i have 100m SP.

Anyway +1 for the OP´s summary.

Edit: Sniped. OP, you can add 13-14 year old FC´s who start shouting/crying on voice comm while fleet OP´s.
