I wouldn't place first in anything. I'm making enough isk for my enjoyment. Why would I try any harder than I am?
This gameGǪ It is not that serious. Casual really allows you to not have to worry about the above questions.

So... Why? Its not a trick question.... LOL I myself run solo every match. I never get under 2500. That is always my goal. I will keep pushing until goal is reached. I 'can' run proto every match and still make a profit. Normally I spend most of the match replacing blown light bulbs. Damn orbitals/flux nads. Also I never leave a match. Sometimes I can turn it around.
Haha ok.. Was just curious given the nature that this forum usually takes.
I run solo a decent amount but I usually go for kdr over WP... Just how I like to play.
Depending on how badly I want to win I'll drop a few protos and sometimes go negative but usually just a STD min assault.
I really don't like proto stomping for either side. My feeling is, if you are winning by a landslide, put the proto suit away and give the other team a chance. Plus it's way more fun to have a competitive match. This doesn't mean I think people shouldn't use proto though. Some of the best pub matches I've had are when two proto squads collide :)

I run solo whenever I'm more interesting in playing Dust while listening to music than I am in playing Dust in general (the activity is Music with a side-order of Dust), and don't want to deal with comms and other people talking over my listening experience. When I do I'd say I'm top 3 ~90% of the time, top place ~25% of the time.
I don't think I've lost ISK in a non-FW match in... Actually I can't remember ever losing ISK. I've only broke even a few times, though. I almost exclusively run STD gear with a proto or adv module or two sprinkled in the mix.
I've had proto suits unlocked for somewhere around 7-8 months now and I have only used them once. One clone in one singular game, just to see how it felt. It was... yeah it was powerful. But being how I'm not involved in any serious game play at the moment I don't see the need to ever bring it out and I do pretty solid with a STD suit and my Exile/Militia sidearms.

i dont always play solo, but when i do (i usually do)
i hardly ever get first. i usually get into the top 5 unless we are getting stomped horribly.
i'll run proto suits when i feel like it (usually after grinding isk in ambush for 2-3 matches). just because they are proto suits. they are meant to be used. not to mention it sometimes gives me an edge over an opposing squad of militia nd standard suits.
profit depends on the kind of battle it was and what suits i used.

I get first sometimes with me usually in the top 5. I do make isk, albeit very slowly. I rarely play in squads anymore so no I do not proto stomp (I use to run squads 50% of the time when I was in betamax but that was a while ago). I do run proto gear every once in a while but I usually run advanced equipment with one or two complex modules. |

On my main I'm usually in the top 4 consistently. On this character it varies. I have only been #1 once before, but this character only has 1 million SP so I guess they just sucked. |

I solo often. Depending on my team I often come in first or the top three. Normally if there is a squad on my side the only players above me are warpoint-***** logis.
I honestly believe if you are in a team with random scubs, you better place first or you failed.
Also, I never run proto in pubs. Only k/d padding dbags with too much isk and not enough skill do that. I normally run adv or basic depending on the opposing team.

Caldari assault, Rail Rifle. I'm horrible at CQC and horrible at sniping, but slightly less horrible with a longer range, full auto weapon. Never anything above ADV tier.
Thinking about dropping some SP into Commando, to see if the extra HP does me any good. We'll see.

I run solo most of my time just to hear some music.
1.- Usually, unless the match was already started.
2.- Only if i notice my deads, I-¦m too frontline and unlike many I don't like using cloak.
3.- Nah, I don't get the proto unless the other team is doing some bs. |

What are you trying to say?
Playing solo I am often on a team with a few decent players and a bunch of scrubs. When this happens I always try my hardest to get as many kills and wp as possible to slow down the enemy team from stream rolling my team. This also means if I don't come in number one, I didn't harass the enemy team enough and I should have done better.
If you are a decent player and your team is full of scubs, you SHOULD come in number 1.
How is this illogical?

Not every match. If it's Skirm, more than half the time I will top, though.
Making.
I don't use Proto (in pubs).
Generally, I only solo in I'm tired late at night or I am only playing for an hour or less at a time.
I was going to use that Installation...

I loved those ambush OMS matches where I went behind enemy lines with my min logi infiltrator fit (before 1.8) dropped some drop links and hacked some objectives and the new front line let my team swing back to victory or turn an impending stomp into a more respectable loss. Good feeling that.

Lol
I solo. Get a fair score (I'm actually in a Bamm Havok vid solo on his enemy team if you want to see  )
Not the best player. I just do what I can. Its amazing what a single player can do to turn a battle around.
I just hate it when a team gives up at the first hurdle. Then there is little even a good player can do.
I always make isk, know roughly what my suits cost and fight accordingly. I also make very good basic/militia fits. You just gotta know how to work within your means

I'll run solo if I don't have much left to cap out. Most of the time I'm in squads though. If I do go solo, I usually don't come in first necessarily but I'm always right up around the top of the board. Isk income varies depending on the day. Somedays I make a profit, some I break even.
Always the last person to leave. Always the one cleaning up people's messes.
