I use multiple one-person corps to store my 100+ bil in isk. It would be nice if Dev created multiple player wallets though, so I would have less reason to clutter up,… the corp list. 😬 ---

So let me explain myself: by balanced I mean a reply that is consistent with the way a civilised discussion goes, that’s all. “I don’t like your idea because it’s a bad idea and will change everything…” Is not that. Also, I only respond to posts that are interesting in how they relate to the topic of the discussion. If I find a post to be irrelevant I will not respond to that player. ---

True enough, I don’t like your idea because: It forces people who wish to follow a solo playstyle to remain in an NPC corp, which restricts the choice of solo playstyles available to them, at least in hisec. IMO NPC corps have their own problems anyway. Being in a one man corp has its advantages, tax, wallet divisions and corp hangars being the most obvious. Many one man corps are fronts for industrialists, being able to have the game do the work sorting out the books leaves more time for actually playing the game. Spreadsheets are handy tools, but nobody should be forced to use them in order to track their transactions, profits etc. A one man corp isn’t always a solo player, active players are often socially active in game and may well team up with other like minded individuals to achieve a common goal once in a while. TL;DR your proposal removes freedom, ergo it isn’t going to appeal to many. > Also, I only respond to posts that _ **I think** _ are interesting in how they relate to the topic of the discussion. FTFY > If _ **I find** _ a post to be irrelevant I will not respond to that player. And therein is why you get a hostile response from many. Objectively, what you find to be interesting or irrelevant is entirely subjective on your part; the same as everybody else. ---

I disagree with your opinion, which is what this is. Nowhere does it say a corp is meant to be a multiplayer experience, as far as mechanics are concerned they used to there to open you up to wardecs, amongst a few other things that have changed in the not so distant past. What makes a corp is what people do with them, a solo corp can have just as large a visible and direct impact as one with 40 people. A corp is a general purpose tool, some use it to take part in shared multiplayer experiences, others use it to make their own way through Eve. Who are you to suggest that only the people that wish to take part in shared multiplayer experiences get to use it? ---

Just stop. You lost this. > [@Natocha\_Daisy](#): > > Lol we both sound like we’re trying to make the same point. Let’s just stop and be civil bruh. Ok? He is being civil. Very in fact. Just to let you know. And so has a lot of other people. Your idea is unpopular. Period. The entire thread is filled with counter-arguments to your suggestion. There is a big diversity in the arguments people are using against your suggestion. Let me quickly analyze the overall strength of your stance: First of all you, repeatedly, stated that you don’t think 1 man corps are bad, but that they don’t add anything. Ok. First of all, if it aint bad, and adds nothing, then it must be a neutral thing to you. And then you mentions “Privilege” as an argument. Hogwash. I trust my earlier replies solidly put that argument to rest. So. You are vague in the reasoning for your suggestion, at best. And no.. Just because people oppose your suggestion, hard, doesn’t meant they aren’t engaging in the discussion in a civil manner. We could just leave the thread, and you would have no one to complain to. Just saying.. And no. You aren’t winning arguments buy grasping after every option to use semantics to twist your arguments after the fact. It’s tiring to watch say the least. I know this got a pit personal, but it is not intended to hit you as a person. It is intended to hit the discourse tactics you are using. You are probably a nice and clever guy, but you come across as stubborn and unable to see things in any other way than your own. (You come across as. Not that you are) Fly safe sir o7 ---

I really do not like this suggestion, because as other have pointed out it is a sandbox and you should be able to create any sandcastle you want with the understanding that some large muscular chap(s) will come along and kick it down. There are other reasons to want to be in your own corp and interaction with the wrong type of player is high on that list. And it does not necessarily mean in game persona either. ---

You said that it was meant to be for multiplayer purposes and while I don’t disagree with that statement as such I am pointing out that game play develops from that. So if you use the same logic for one man corps it can be applied elsewhere. > [@Natocha\_Daisy](#): > > Are you sure that thousands of single player corporations is a good representation of how a successful multiplayer game should operate? Yes it is, because people have choices to do what they want to do within their own play style and in any case I am always exposed to interaction even if I am in a one man corp and cannot be war decked, I can still be ganked.
