Low doesn't have 24 different intel channels with 700 people in at every hour of the day.


and that's the player's fault, and absolutely nothing to do with the game's design or mechanics.
nothing is stopping people doing the same for low sec.


Not really.

If I am in an alliance that has the members and resources to provide JiT intell over 30 systems, why would I stay in lolsec?


yes, really.

it doesn't matter what alliance you are in, if people don't want to make intel channels in low sec that's up to them. that doesn't however entitle them to complain when players who can be bothered to create such channels actually use them.

Hard to assess risk for certain systems because probability of loss will be affected by individual pilot skill. Perhaps insurance in EVE should be more like insurance in real life, why should a careful pilot like me be paying the same premium as a woman pilot who autopilots her ship while doing make up in the rear view mirror?

+1 for stereotypically sexist remarks. Lol

Lets not forget that those nullsec intel channels are not just once alliance, they are populated by coalitions.

And from personal experience, lowsec coalitions and intel channels do in fact exist, you just haven't joined the right alliance.

Who is complaining, did someone in here complain? I don't see it.

Those metrics measure risk to travel through, how about a time metric. Ships lost per hour. If your not traveling through null its even safer plus there are a lot of jumps between camps.
