It may surprise you that this is how I remember EVE during 2004 and 2005.

What you are attempting is called "Argumentum ad Populum", in that you are hoping to prove a point through (inaccurate) nostalgia.

EVE has always been, and will always be, about trickery and deception to gain the edge in whatever field we choose to take part in.

When I pvp in a frigate, I look on the map for big blobs and go there, You will have a good chance catching ships that are behind/ahead of the fleet or you start warping around in the system trying to split them up and get fights that you can win, also some of the new pvp pilots will burn towards you to get a tackle no matter what, so you can use that to get a fight aswell.

Honest question, actually.

If people lack fights, it's because people are either cowards, idiots or both.

Plenty of fights to be had as outlaw in highsec.

Quite often yes, it is a pirate code, type thing. Is everyone going to do it? Of course not, this is eve. However, many lowsec pirates like to fight for the fights and 1v1s can be quite fantastic to watchiand have in frig platforms.

Most of the corps I know (save one and they are terrible) honor 1v1s. But third parties like to jump in because its eve.

Ask, assume it might not work but give it a try. Most corps who don't honor them will get a rep about it quickly. This falls into the line of 'get to know the natives'. You will find a groups you can challange yourself against.

We had one guy ask one of our pilots who he has prior 1v1 expierence with for a match in the middle of a roam as we passed through the system he was in. Because we have always honored our word he took the risk of jumping his alt into the fleet (we were on a gate about to leave system when he asked) so that he could go meet on a planet. The 1v1 was honored and the roam continued when they were done.

Not everyone is like that but plenty of people enjoy more then the easy gank. Some enjoy the easy gank more.

Eve is a cold dark and unforgiving place, where you can scam, kill, and ruin your enemy. But god forbid you use a "potty" word.

You also apparently don't know how to use the Search function on the forums.

Or play Eve.

Even complete and utter scumbags have mommies that would scold them for such language!!!

The irony is what even one of CCPs slogans contains such words. Also don't even get me started on nipples, boosters(drugs) are ok but nipples are SO taboo. aka Bring back the Quafe girl!

For the record I'm just giving him a hard time since he seems new.

IMO Faction war is the best place to find decent 1v1s. Get in your ship find a system with allot of wartargets and jump in a plex. If they come in with too many you may be able to jump out and see if one jumps out as well. Then you can fight one on the accell gate.

CCP might start letting us know what systems plexes are being attacked which will make finding decent small scale fights even easier.

But until that happens I think you are still looking at about 1 decent fight per hour. Sometimes you will get many more but sometimes you will spend 2 hours and dock your ship with no fights.

Atleast while I was in RvB I could find many 1v1 by just asking for it.

Actually the part you quote claim eve was different before.

Eve may have always been about blobs, off grid booster and falcon alts. This may make you happy but allot of people aren't so thrilled by it.

This is true but asking for duels is too contrived. CCP needs to make it so decent small scale fights spring up naturally. The faction war plexing mechanics are the obvious way to do this.

As a new player specializing in the small gang/brawler racial ship line I find this topic, disconcerting.
