I have my own personal multibox army because I donāt want to be constrained by the playing times or time zones of others. When I want to do a particular activity, I want to do it now.

When I log on, Iām usually the only corp member logged in. Even when I do see one, I have no idea what system theyāre in. Almost everything I do is solo.

I like this quote. The curse of knowing everything or a lot of things Eve will be getting bored and then wanting to quit. Better to be broke and idiot but having fun in the game for a long long time.

oh you poor naive fool
73% of respondents considers themselves a solo player is surprising even tho i voted solo myself. I wonder what the percantage would be if you asked in for example WoW or Albion Online community.
WoW, same for me, solo.
Dofus, solo.
No Mans Sky, solo.
Never played Albion online.
I am in a clan in Raid Shadow Legends, yay me 
WoW - solo
Albion? Never heard of it
No Manās Sky - solo though I havenāt played in years. I see itās gotten a lot better. I should get back into it.

This poll proves that the vast majority plays soloā¦which CCP should take onto consideration after making solo play as difficult as possible to deliberately force players into corpsā¦and nerfing ships like the Orca that offered some protection from gankers while solo miningā¦ i think this is one of the main reasons that new player retention is so bad and that the total number of players has been steadily decreasingā¦ The new additions to the game gave been great, but they didnāt do anything to stop the decrease of playersā¦ New player retention needs to be addressed and leveling the playing field so that solo players are not at a deliberate dissadvantage seems to be the source of this problemā¦ I would suggest actually making solo status a thing with solo bonuses to level the playing field while not being allowed to fleet up while in that stateā¦ I love this game and want to see it flourish, but something needs to be done about the current path it is onā¦
The Orca can have 700K EHP using nothing more than T2 modules. How much more protection do you need?

A poll on the forums.
I bet solo players are overrepresented here - non-solo players usually have other places to discuss EVE with peers, like their corp discord and equivalent.

Equity and equality are not the same thing. Why should new players automatically be on-par and able to compete with veteran players who have been playing for 10+ years?

iām talking about when they took the low slot away about 5 years ago because gankers complained that it was too hard to gankā¦ I havenāt used it since then, so things may have changed since then that Iām not aware ofā¦
Iām not saying thatā¦ What I am saying is that they should not have it so lopsided against solo play to force players into corpsā¦ Thatās what is clearly affecting player retentionā¦ I donāt want it to be solo game, but something needs to be done to retain players and rejouvinate the player baseā¦ This is just my suggestion to address this problemā¦
You are playing an MMO with 30,000+ other players. Again, EVE is not a solo gameā¦
Having said that, can you still play EVE solo? Absolutely. Are you going to be limited in what you can do? Yes.
Can you imagine the sheer chaos of 30,000 players trying to forge their own little empires and do their own thing? Nothing would ever get done. Good luck trying to defend your Citadel with your little 3-man alt corp, or worse, solo.
