EVE General Discussion

I've looked at the "advantages" of Low Sec, mining doesn't pay that much more than High Sec at all.....

But it sure pays better in Null Sec.

Planets aren't that much better than High Sec....

But they sure are better in Null Sec.

Moons aren't that great...

But they sure are better in Null Sec..

and all of this "gain" for what is obviously tremendously more risk.

While there seems some effort to make Faction Warfare and Exploration "good" for Low-Sec......

It seems that the developers panic at the thought of giving Low Sec mining or planetary or moon buffs cause that would make Null Sec slightly less absurdly over the top profitable.

So Low Sec is left "very small trivial amount better than High Sec". But it IS NOT trivially better when you factor in ship loss. That you can't use a Freighter to move goods. That Refining rates are poorer. That the Market is less well stocked with goods.

In return, 10-50 percent more "gain"... before losses that is.

If people were Rational Actors trying to maximize ISK per hour, they would never go into Low Sec at all.

Because everything that would make Low Sec profitable is sucked into the "More Money, More Money" for Null Sec.

Low Sec should AT LEAST have the ABC minerals and better planets and buffed moons.

I know, I know. What about Null Sec?

Well, since that is all you think about, they have been really over-buffed.

Just get the Nerf Hammer out and pound them. No nerf to severe.

You sound like a butthurt-over-nothing hisec bear.

If you are so damn jelly over what nullsec residents have, why not go there and stop whining?

Lowsec planets are a lot better than in hi, there's great PVP, blobs are rare and if you want to be by yourself, there's plenty of room for you.

Lowsec definitely needs some work. The proposed FW changes look like they're moving in the right direction, and I hope CCP continues to commit resources to making lowsec a viable and unique playstyle.

WHs have shown that a few balanced differences in mechanics can create a whole new alternative playstyle, and it would be amazing for the game in general if they were able to reach a similar balance for lowsec.

Low-sec resides between High-sec and 0.0.

So to use a common term it is on the pipe which is always more dangerous then being isolated in a dead end constellation.

There are some low-sec havens where people are enjoying themselves collecting ISK but it is entirely dependent on geography.

So for the most part Low-sec will always be the way it is now, no matter what CCP does as far as game mechanics.

High-sec , low-sec, 0.0 was never really a valid game progression.

Don't get me wrong, low-sec does serve a purpose and for some they call it home.

But it is low-sec and expecting some magical change that will populate it will never happen.

I recall mining some high ends in low sec...

Something you can do in null and W-space as well, yet with a lot less risk.

"What is this? One Line per sentence? Learn to write correctly" - Fixed your double spacing, although the forum shows no double spacing in quotes.
"Learn to write correctly - post this bad don't even deserve a response" - Removed unnecessary use of the word "otherwise"
"Learn to write correctly - posts this bad don't even deserve a response / a post this bad doesn't even deserve a response" - structured in a way that makes much more sense

Think we've got a case of the pot calling the kettle black here, people.
(For anyone that doesn't know what that means - he's a hypocrite.)

NPC null is really a hidden gem, IMO. Way better ISK than lowsec, no gate/station guns to get in the way, and no having to deal with sov. ever.

I don't think lowsec is terribly broken tbh, it works for the people who live there who want more casual pvp than what you find in most of nullsec (even NPC nullsec) and easier access to markets. The 'problems' with lowsec stem from the fact that it's right next to highsec, which might as well be a different game from the rest of EvE. People jump into lowsec and get smoked because they don't understand how EvE works outside of highsec, not because it's broken mechanics-wise.

All that said I still think lowsec could use some buffs to pull more of the casual pvpers in. I have high hopes for Inferno.

Of course, but I was just correcting the statement.

Warhammer Online player spotted!

BTW my sorceress would still kill you.
