EVE General Discussion

High sec definately has the lowest reward, but this is compenstated by the low risk. You can make a far amount of isk there if you are driven and spend lots of hours playing, but you have to be doing something special to reach the mega-rich status. I've always been confused by the low and null hatred of highsec players (and miners), i've always thought that people play eve for different reasons. Personally i think it comes down to the easyness of kills and potential loot of risk-free highsec killing, when compared to actually facing other pvp-players in combat. They perfer targets that don't shoot back.

Now i realise i'm going to get lots of disagreement here, but eve is NOT a PVP only game. If you like PVP, you go to low and null. If you like PVE, then you stay in highsec. This is the method in which eve can appeal to more players, as not everyone likes exploding ships. Sure, those PVP orentated people can go to empire and try to force their "pvp-only" opinion on any risk-free targets they can suicide gank, but that doesn't change that those players will continue to shun it.

I think that over time, the natural tendency for players to move from highsec has been worn away, and made alot more difficult, by these players. Lowsec is a wasteland, and null is full of blues. What incentive is there for these non-pvp players to move to these areas, when the increased rewards don't match up to the insanely increased risk?

Though the removal of high would be fun, ultimately it would harm eve. Highsec is the economic heart of eve, and removing the security would turn everything on its head, and likely result in alot of highsec players (the majority of eve) unsubbing. I'm sure lots of you would think thats a good thing, but it's not.

Petition for them to buff up low sec, that wouldn't really bother any high sec players.

Eve is nowhere near its end.

Lets talk again in 30 years.

So we that find the content he creates interesting are the minority. You must be speaking for the majority then; how kind of you to give an opinion to all those players, many who I assume never have heard of James.

I find James interesting because he has created a villain in this game; the fact people attack him with such vitriol on the boards kind of proves that point. Now only if people would do something in game about it. Where are the heros to fight this villain?

This also explains why I don't care for carebears myself. So focused on ISK/hr, they forget that this game is about player created content; and they despise (as demonstrated by those posting here) those players creative enough to come up with an idea like this. It is no different then the goon hate, instead of a corporation, it is one man.

So James keep on keeping on!

Edit - cleaned up some miss typing.

If/when the servers shut down, removing all restrictions on PVP would serve no other purpose than to cause most high sec dwellers (Null sec player alts aside) to quit at that point in time instead of waiting for the end.

Removing the protective frameworks in EVE will not make risk adverse players any less risk adverse.

If the phrase "You can't take it with you" had no meaning for these players prior to this point, it's not going to sink in then either.

Hero worship is a losers game. Eventually they disapoint you... or...um..is it something more...hee hee hee

The correct expression is - great minds think alike, fools seldom differ.

Still waiting to see all these massive rewards that everyone thinks exists in hisec. More likely the imbalance exists in your mind.

What is it that is preventing you from taking advantage of this supposed imbalance in highsec? Thats right nothing..... Its not the perceived imbalance that bothers you so much, but more so you cant force people to play how YOU want them to play.

Its time to GTFU put on your big boy underoos and accept you cant always get what you want.

Eve's Death Knell will be how slow they bring things to market. Their ability to dream big but deliver small is going to hamstring them with so many awesome games coming out.
