30% deathblow vs solo kills isn't a bad ratio considering that I don't camp bridges and am usually around other Albs at a location.
It is very rare for me to get a clean kill without some type of interference.
The RP system inspires people to collect easymode RPs by just outnumbering the opponent. Skill is not something that matters when it comes to RPs because the system does not take into consideration zerging others and actually rewards you for this behavior.
The lesson learned is to just zerg with a larger stealth group in order to collect RPs. Don't worry about being with better players or using better tactics, just get as many people together as you can to outnumber the opponent and collect easymode RPs.
That is the story of this game and why it is a skill-less mess.

If that's the attitude you have, then you won't have fun. Soloing is a choice of playstyle, not something you're mandated to do. In fact, the mechanics and overall goal of the game are against soloing - which is why it's so fun.
And sorry, but you struggle to get solid 1v1s because you're constantly around other Albs. If you want better fights, venture into other realms and fight people there. I make great RPs on any of my guys and I rarely get interrupted by my own realm, but that is what's fun for me - and gives me great DB:SK ratios 
Going to the main bridges of any realm means you'll get zerged quick, or whatever you're fighting will. Go to some Agramon bridges, camp boat routes, etc.
It sounds like you're not having fun with your playstyle.

If you'd like to enjoy more soloing try to help revive Mordred. Plenty of room to fight 1 on 1 on that server even when it had a really healthy population.

The game isnt solo friendly anymore. But what can they do? make a rr3 fight a rr11 1v1? Theres more solo friendly games out there if thats what you want.
As long as theres visible groups buzzing around on speed and invisible groups running around the game it isnt very soloable and isnt worth the frustration

Soloing and MMO aren't mutually exclusive concepts, but the fact that the stupidity is so profound among humanity destines people to not understand this.

I am a victim of others zerging and adding to my kills often. I also like to play around seiges and the like and I avoid camping bridges, but I am solo about 95% or more of the time.
.
I don't really equate being ungrouped to be the same as solo.

It's quite retarded to expect people to let you 1v1 in an MMO imho... when I run solo.. I just accept that crap is going to happen...
^This.
In defense, however, a 30% solo rate is actually very good if you play NF. I am 100% solo, and my kills get added on and leeched all the time, furthermore, you often don't get credit for solo kills for various reasons. I've gone on streaks where I've solo killed 15 people without dying, and my stats showed 4 solo kills. /shrug

I have been added on tonight all 4 deaths. Since keeping track of my deaths last year I have been killed by 2 or more people in 385 out of 389 deaths.
It simply is a joke and there should be a penalty for adding fights.
Also, why do archers have so many tools to escape when they are usually grouped 5 or more deep?
They should have some or all of those tools taken away.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
There should also be an RP loss when you add a fight on a solo. I know this would lead to most stealthers having negative career RPs, but I think the benefits outweigh the negatives.
