Original Discussion on my part.

I just did pretty much that very thing. I moved assets in to one of those small high security Islands and with 7 trips, I made 352 jumps using a high sec to high sec worm hole. I sure as hell didn't save any time though I can say that if I had to do this using the gates that rail road you through low sec bottle necks, it wouldn't have been done at all. The assets I was moving were simply unable to make the trip.

I want to know Why was it not divided from the start? Aka when eve launched.

Sandboxes are more sandboxy when there are fewer walls dividing them up.

I was reading this http://evenews24.com/2012/11/29/a-letter-to-csm-7-back-to-the-gates/

And thought chopping up high sec would go along well in that as well.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

I also included specifics on where the regions go and possible lore explanations for the sudden change.

Not a good reason. Having obstacles encourages players to have fun getting over them creatively. Any obstacle created by lowsec would be player generated.

If I divided hisec I would add at least 3 new regions of all lowsec to have less bottlenecks.

It seems the OP has not done his homework.
