A question to various alliances.

We all know we want to get more people into other content in the game.
However we also know that a lot of people are averse of said content.

We have seen the ways used to attract people to the more PvP side of EVE and the life in 0.0 which aren't that effective.
However how about another end of the spectrum to get more people to have a good sniff at life in 0.0 / PvP.

I mean an event or such in which people get a whiff about how life in 0.0 can be.
This event could be endorsed by several alliances and the finances to sponsor such an event could be brought under Vhribba's care.

An event could be like follows.

A group of players would like to know how fleet engagements in 0.0 are or a hunt in 0.0.
The group gathers up and a group of "battlehardened" 0.0 people is the other side.
A contellation or so is predestinated as playground for this and then we have an experienced FC leading the group of rookies into battle.
The same rules apply for this as it would for a normal skirmish in 0.0.

My question is:

In howfar would Alliances be willing to work with this and maybe we would see people dipping their toes into the deep more over time.

Goons took portions of delve last year and opened it up to all, CVA held providence as NRDS space for a long time. Both of these were great ways for noobs to get their feet wet.

Thing is that people don't want to identify themselves with a certain part of null sec sov holders right away, nor do they want to start off with feeling like a pet.

I am looking at ways to lower the threshhold and give people the feel of it.

A lot of people have warped, missinformed or tainter vieuws on life in null sec. These idea's often get stenghtened by others who speak out of their gutt or based on their own warped idea's

I am sorry this got moved to Events & Gatherings where it wont get the attention I think it needs.
Next tot hat Events & Gatherings is mainly used by those who wish to have some real life gathering or event.
This is not the idea behind my topic.
This was an idea I wanted a general discussion about with alliance but also players on how to improve immersion of people into life in null sec.
