So… to disprove that it's all about PvP, you list a number of PvP activities?

Only read the op. hi sec should be a little safezone for the noobs, however hisec in its current state does not fit in with the type of game eve is. IMO hisec should be removed entirely except for a few starter systems. There is no reason for it other than to cater to the kiddies that won't htfu.

-Research: researching things to make manufacturing cost less and to make more items faster than the other guy, PVP!

How it used to be in the 'old days' imho. Underlined the things that now seem out of balance.

High-sec: low risk, low reward, low commitment, high convenience
- rewards are now medium, competing with low-sec

Low-sec: high risk, medium reward, low commitment, medium convenience

Null-sec: high risk, high reward, high commitment, medium convenience
- low-cost jump and bridge mechanics completely mess up risk, commitment and convenience factors

Wh: high risk, very high reward, medium commitment, low convenience
- too easy to make it impossible to be evicted, a BC-sized POS/Cap basher could fix this

Operation WRITE DOWN ALL THE THINGS!!!  Check out the list at http://bit.ly/wdatt Collecting and compiling all fixes and ideas for EVE. Looking for more editors!

The point of high sec is to give the illusion of security. Why do you think people buy insurance? (ingame and RL)

My logic is that they're all PvP.

Mining — competition for resources, player vs. player.
Manufacturing, research, production manufacturing again — competition for slots/moons, a means to provide an edge in…
Market — competition for best purchase and/or sale price, player vs. player.

…not to mention that all of the above only serves to feed the demand generated by combat and destruction.

At no point are you competing against any kind of “environment“ or NPCs, only against other players.

There are exactly two things in EVE that are not subject to PvP: “accept mission” and “complete mission” (“abandon mission” might have counted if it weren't for PvP being such a common reason for people using that button).

Yeah hi sec does that to me. But hey it's a sandbox so I don't actually have to interact with the type of players there, and you can do whatever it is people do in empire. And It's the players there that bother me not the mechanics for the record.

agreed. Fixes the problem on gankers hiding behind CONCORD. Make it as it is now, where its bannable to grief/kill/scam/trick noobs and the rest is fair game.

So creating your own POS (outside of wartime) and using your own slots isnt PVP then?

But then you're not really answering the question. Combat is as much a part of highsec as of any of the other sec levels, and the activities you listed are as much a part of the other sec levels as they are of highsec.

You're making distinctions that aren't really there.

Of course it is. Read what you quoted again.
