choice and play-styles are not part of the equation: a corporation is for multiplayer purposes. Why can’t he just be ‘out-of-corp’ to fulfil his one-man desires? I’m working with hypotheticals.
Because a corporation has benefits for even a single player that being without a corp (or NPC-corp) do not have.
Nope, 300 posts later it is still a stupid idea. Just petty bureaucracy that doesn’t actually increase fun for anyone.

No, that doesn’t quite work - a corporation needs a leader, executives, and members to function properly and for the economy to flow outwards.
It’s a very good idea.

My one man desires include indy, so what then? I want to change to a mission clone without penalty so I can then jump into a PvP clone when people are around for a purple fleet so need a structure to do that, or one that I trust, what then. I may have a one man corp but I do interact.
One of my one man corps is helping someone with a war dec. I am interacting with the defender and the attacker, even if the actual defence is out of my TZ 
All you are doing is adding unnecessary hoops to jump through for a perceived benefit that is not there. There is nothing wrong with someone creating a corp to meet their needs in game.
I never said there was anything ‘wrong’ with it. 
I’m merely entertaining this idea for discussion.
I too play Eve the same way you do…
A Corp doesn’t need those things to be a corporation. In a one man Corp, the CEO holds all those titles if you want to be pedantic about it.
The term “corporation” is more a legal term than anything. It classifies the outward function of the entity. There are no rules telling corporations that they should have a certain personel structure.
You should read the wiki on corporations mate.
Your defence of one man corps is not necessary. They do nothing to help the game.
Nothing practical anyway.
But I can understand your position of not wanting to budge from your single-player dreams.
Where are those requirements listed? Even in the real world a single person can start and run a corporation.
If he wishes to become successful he has to hire staff.
Again, where is that requirement said? What is your definition of successful?
They’re very much part of the equation, the restriction of choice and playstyles tending to disenchant players; players being important to CCP’s bottom line.
While it is your opinion that a corporation is for multiplayer purposes that doesn’t make it so.
If he wishes to become successful he has to hire staff.
Nope, it is entirely possible to be successful without hiring staff.
Imagine Google being run by a single person.
STOP being one sided.
Incorrect: the fact that CCP has allowed players for this length of time to take advantage of the corp mechanism to benefit individual one man dreams is mere luck.
Not really.
Please close thread.
Nope. 
Once again, this is your opinion. Your opinion is not the be all and end all of the conversation.
Please do tell, there are hundreds of thousands of one man businesses the world over, and many of them are successful.
After all this discussion, have we established anything besides increasing Daisy’s post count or decreasing their reputation?
