I won't go into a brief history of EVE, but if you're ever up for research, I suggest you study how CCP introduced the tools involved in Fleet combat in EVE, it wasn't always the way it is now, and CCP LOVES to support its organized forces.
That being said, there was always a community of players opposed to the additional organization. The reason is obvious, the more organized players get, the more **** they get, and in Null sec now, coming NEAR a large corporations (Meaning within a star system or two), means your very likely to be picked up by a scout, tracked, probed, and destroyed, that is unless of course you high-tail it the hell out of there VERY quickly.
What I'm getting at is this, don't worry about it, this game will hands down develop one of the best leadership devices in any first person shooter. Give it time, and you'll see CCP will give its commanders, and leaders ALL the tools they could ever want or need to communicate, organize, and **** the unorganized players. Will they give you any actual stat bonuses, or specialized equipment? Probably, but not at first, and it will all be slowly introduced. However, be sure it will come, and be sure that unorganized solo gamer's will not find this a friendly game anywhere but in High Sec after a year or two.
All you need to do is look at your developers, and their past, look at what they've already built, and what they support. Its not even worth arguing or discussing this point because its just going to happen.. All the nay-saying and wishing on behalf of anyone who is resistant to the idea won't get them anywhere, because teamwork was the intention of the game, and catering to large groups of players (Corporations), was the point from the beginning. This was never about the solo player, its an extension of the EVE universe, and unless your play-style is highly covert and hidden (Think black ops ships in eve, jump freighters, and Blockade Runners), you won't be able to work Solo in this game where it counts. Solo players will be relegated to High Sec, and perhaps occasional Low Sec dealings depending on their testicular-fortitude. |
