I have been a "loner" since closed beta....
I do NOT play well with others...
I hate everyone equally!
I come in first place 75% of matches..
I am greedy and do not like sharing my thunder.
Loners rule!
I mainly pilot, so having someone screaming in my ear is not exactly helpful to my team! My only job is to get merc's where they need to be in a timely fashion!

I used to play like this all the time. These days its login, get insta-invite, squad for a bit, get bored, play something else, go back on dust, logon, get insta-invite, etc. I will do this if im playing at 2-5am though.
I love being able to put my headphones on, have some coffee on the side, and slay in silent darkness at 3:30am. Probably more than talking and slaying during the day lol. Each to their own, but I like having some alone time.

i hear ya. If i can get time while the house is asleep and run 4-5 games strait, without mic, it feels like some kinda therapy. The zen of killing and dying, i suppose.

To answer your original question about why we complained.
From my perspective, there was a period of time where I found no matchmaking and Mu to place me on the opposite sides of stomps many many times.
Prior to Mu, and since matchmaking (fingers crossed), I have found games to be close and enjoyable and such that I can play and contribute even as a solo player.
I complained because this game has too small a player base to alienate either people who mainly squad or players who mainly solo. Both are legitimate styles and for this game to be successful long term both need to be viable.

Do you play the game purposely on your own?
Because i find it very hard to not receive at least a squad invite when i log in, even without asking for it.
If so, why then you all complain that the game is unplayble for solo, if you don't want to squad up by your decision, in a game that is clearly team oriented?
Yes I do run Solo a lot. Usually I make a one man squad and lock it to avoid squad invites. I run solo for two reasons: 1) Most people I used to play with have quit and 2) I use it to test my suits and myself and to see how good I can get.
I actually don't complain at all about how hard it is and it is not unplayable if you know what you are doing. I still help the team out the best I can by taking points, installations and challenging enemy sentinels. People who find solo play unplayable have no idea what they are doing most the time IMHO.
I find your lack of heaviness... disturbing...

Been playing alone since I left Anonymous last year. Was in FA, now in Ahrendee, never really seems to help much. Only time I ever squad up is when I'm running with Trapper (Anon Illuminati) because we're bros.
It sucks, really, it does. You're constantly feeling like you're against overwhelming odds and your gameplay suffers as a result. It's really really difficult to maintain some level of optimism when you're constantly getting your butt kicked and thinking that you're the only one working on the team.
It's especially infuriating when you're -not- playing Sniper or some other support role and are actually working the frontline.
But yanno the saying: Git gud scrub.

I play solo almost 99% of the time. Due to past experience.
1) joined a squad and all they wanted to do was defend 1 objective in Skirmish. And expected blueberry to do the rest
2) joined another that was basically like running solo just with people talking in your ear.
3)different squad, all they wanted to do was ride around in a tank, not hacking the objectives, just accumulating WP. B.S. I'd say
4)I love shooting people in the face with my sniper rifle from time to time
5) don't need a squad to be a team player.
Only drawback I'd say is the lack of a solo orbital strike. |

Hey dude i do actually play lonewolf as well or sometimes ill squad up my crop buddies. Mostly for lonewolf they fit actually in domination or skirmish. Since we already have the new matchmaking. If you play lonewolf follow these rules.
1. Do not trust blueberrys to help you.
2. Keep calm and just have fun.
3. Bring alot of links ( good resoure of wp)
4. Try to protect the objective as much you can.
Lastly show them you dont need a team to squad up

1. bad comms (not only complaining the whole time, but also static noise and family noise)
2. my role usually works better when not sticking to tight to the fight (Support Logi (links and scans) and AV)
3. I die a lot more in a squad, since I try to push harder
3. had a lot of squads, where people were constantly talking, but not about objectives or the match, but about random other crap.
4. backing out of games for dropped members, hate that!
5. just getting annoyed by people who are not my cup of tea... |

Insatiable pixel blood lust, must fight, all the time. In squad, out of squad, doesn't matter. If I happen to come out of the matches long enough to make it into one of the invites, I hop in and go with the squad, if I miss them, I just keep brawling

I used to get plenty of invites, still do actually.
I don't play with other people. I listen to music, and loathe waiting in lobby for people to chat and get their **** filled. Lone wolf is the only way to play.

Not gonna hear me complaining about running solo. It's fun having someone to talk to, but worrying about finding a full squad every time I play isn't something I'm going to do. Sometimes it's nice to just hop on and screw around, without worrying about winning. Sure, going up against a full squad from a well known corp while you yourself have nothing but idiot blueberries on your team is frustrating at best and occasionally downright rage inducing, it's not going to completely ruin the game.

Playing solo is somewhat less forgiving than team play. However, being in a squad for the sake of being in a squad isn't any fun either. I play solo for the most part because if I squad with the people I know in game, it leads to more red-lines than I find enjoyable. Also, I'm doing stuff around the house in between games, which isn't conducive to being in a squad. Conversely, if I want to run quick back to back to back games, it's better if I'm alone. Moreover, pulling out the occasional win against a good squad is more than worth the frustration of frequent deaths. |

I always get better scores when playing solo, which I do like 90% of the time. Sometimes, I'll make a squad for myself for extra WP and orbital strikes.

That would be nice pub for CCP and the game ... I hear that too , also the arguing of a guy and his spouse about any and everything and the guy doesn't turn off or lower his mic .
it's like smoking some nice greens and having someone screw it up talking about their problems and I'm thinking , " I don't wanna waste this good buzz on this ." ... I smoked to relax and calm down but I digress ... you do what you must but I don't like some of the extra activity that goes on in the background at times .
I can't help but to laugh at that $h!t at times .

Team play doesn't mean you have to talk or coordinate with anyone. Basic teamwork via simply playing with a team and joining and coordinating with others is two totally different forms of teamplay and should be separated. Tryhard squads with codependent ideations deserve to be with their own kind. Casuals, new players and dedicated solo players deserve to play with like minded people.

Whenever I've done large stints of playing alone, it's usually been because I am an introvert and I don't like a lot of people or can't put up with their bullshit.
Whenever I join a squad and immediately hear someone talk about how high they're about to get, I immediately consider dropping squad. In fact I get pretty judgemental about them really quickly - if the only thing you have to talk about is how much your life revolves around your drug use, you are probably a worthless person I don't want to interact with.
Sometimes I choose not to squad simply because I'm either attempting to avoid corp drama, or I simply really don't like the people I might be squadding with.
When I join random squads, I often choose not to mic up, because I don't necessarily want to interact with strangers or have to correct them when they're gratuitously wrong about something.
Unsurprisingly, the reasons for 'not playing with others' are fairly consistant across a great deal of games (from wow to dust to eve to plenty of others) and it can usually be summed up by 'not wanting to deal with other people bullshit'.

I normally play solo since my Time Zone doesn't line up with the rest of the corp. I hate this game playing solo.
