EVE General Discussion

never understood how you can "play a game wrong" especially a game like this one. Who gives a **** if they sit in hi-sec and do nothing but mission run?

Certain player groups hate high sec because we have more fun.

No way I'm gonna read all that... Sheesh...

Rebalancing risk and reward is a good start. Most highsec dwellers won't leave because they see no compelling reasons to do so. Lowsec is generally LESS profitable than high, and comes with significant logistical problems. And we all know how the typical highsec carebear sees null.

Another good way to drive change is to make NPC corps harder to live in. They shouldn't be havens for people to hide their PVE alts in for years.

I don't know. It just comes across that certain players want to change hi-sec because they hate the way a large portion of the playerbase spends its time.

As they would rather them being doing something else instead with their time and it drives them crazy. Mad even. Thread-naught mad.

Well here is the deal. Many hi-sec miners and industrialists plex their accounts as well as some mission runners.

If you reduce the amount of isk they earn to a point where they can't buy plex for their accounts they'll quit the game because they don't want to pay for the sub.

Many PvPers who don't want to waste time mining or grinding missions rely on those who do to purchase their plexes. To upset the economy in major ways would actually be detrimental to pew pew. Ships would be too expensive to fly and people will dock up because they can't tolerate the losses. They'll get bored being docked and then subs will go down.

Keep in mind nerfing NPC corps did not result in people in people joining null sec alliances. It resulted in people either sucking up and tolerating the taxes or starting one man corps.

Let's be honest here. There is nothing short of giving players free ships and gear to get them into low-sec and null sec.

People will either do industry in hi-sec or they won't keep playing. They won't move to low or null now matter how much you nerf them.

[edit]

BTW the reason people don't go to lowsec is not because its more or less profitable. Its because if you go, chances are you will lose your ship. I mean that is the whole point of low-sec. People are risk adverse and don't want to lose things they spent time and effort to get. You can't change human nature.

which makes me wonder; when people in this game have no problems losing their ships doesn't that mean that the ship was too easy to get? Wouldn't that mean that the 'risk' factor in this dark, harsh, cold sandbox is too low for them? Shouldn't it be higher so they are a bit scared and worried? I mean... 'cold harsh reality' and all that...

Because people have made null so safe, that it has dropped the prices of low and null sec mins to that of high sec mins.


Hunters spend hours flying around low sec, and all they find is empty space and a few large fleets trying to blob them. Then they go to high sec and they see all these solo miners and people flying around in big juicy ships. Their tiny brains think, OH, if only we could lure all these targets out to low sec, this game would be so much fun for me.

They seem unable to make the leap that the reason people are in high sec is because they have NO desire to be hunted. There is no amount of reward that would justify the risk. If there was, they'd be in null.

They hate high sec, because they hate us people that don't want to be their victims.

I saw a mission Tengu get blapped by one volley of a Tornado. Apparently, he didn't tank his shiney well enough. Dude ****** up. Dude lost his stuffz. What kind of risk is it you think high sec is missing?

you seem to have completely ignored the fact that the supply of low end minerals was cut with the removal of drone poo, meaning we have an excess supply of high ends in comparison to low ends. this has NOTHING to do with how safe either region is. it's about the fact that the supply of low ends stopped meeting the demand, and prices of low ends rose.
