Doing missions for jump clones, can't wait to stop doing it. But if I skipped it I would feel dumb for not having jump clones always available for me.

First of all, if you're in blue space, it's not that dangerous. If you're in a group it's even safer—but seriously, check the "ships destroyed in the last hour" and you'll see how safe nullsec is.


Correct me if im wrong but wasent one of your arguments that high sec was so safe that it is "boring"? So i guess you can answear your own question.. Going from your own statment saying that 0.0 is safer then high sec, why do you enjoy being in 0.0?


That's not what I said at all.
Nullsec is much more dangerous then hisec, but it's not as dangerous as many people seem to think.


Now that i re read it i see that i was mistaken, my apologises Oops

Hello folks I am sort of confused, why do so many people do missions in hisec?
I have been told that the ISK/hour of ratting in nullsec (which is more fun) is higher than missions in safe systems—and if you do nullsec missions or exploration you can make far more ISK.
So please tell me why do so many people (not beginning players) do missions in hisec? Do they offer some reward I don't know about?


Isk without the risk. Lots of people like the casual gameplay of PvE content with out PvP. Hisec is the place to do that. Well without too much risk. Whats the point of ganking a t2 fitted Megathron in highsec? Thats why people mission in highsec.

Secondly, as someone else said, you don't need an expensive ship to get better ISK/hour then in hisec.
If you do lose your battleship, shrug it off—you have insurance.
If all you do is grind hisec missions to get shinier ships... to do missions more efficiently... what is your end goal?


What is the end goal of someone who collects Ferraris, when there are speed limits on most roads?

Why does there have to be an end goal? Why does anyone need a reason to fly a pimp Machariel beyond flying a pimp Machariel? As long as they accept that they risk the ship every time they undock, who cares?

Not everyone missions for the ISK, or toward a larger goal, and their reasons are their own, just as yours are.

yeah.. if you are really bad at eve...


Obvious forum alt should probably let us know how good he is at EvE, then.

Let us reveal in the glory of your hundreds of 0.0 kills and lack of 0.0 deaths.

I am what you would call a high-sec missioneer and in my case the answer is simple.

No opportunity has presented itself yet.

Or rather, no one has approached me and asked if I would like to venture out into low- or null-sec with them.

I have been out there, in both null-sec and in Wormholes. It was great fun, I had a good time, and i learned a lot about pvp (not that it helped me mutch, still suck at it) and generally what to expect in low security space. Eventually, with a mix of force and real life I ended up in high-sec again.

Don't know how to be good at trading. Don't know what to look for in courier missions or in industry, so I do missions.

I have also tried to join a corp on its way out to null, but because of my history I got told I couldn't join since I had been a part of this and that previosly.

I think a lot of the mission runners would actually say yes if they got approached by a null-sec corp and asked to join and it actually being an invitation, and not a trick or a bait. Or better yet. I think most of the high-sec playerbase would say yes, if they got an invitation.

I know I would.

So I have answered your question to the best of my abillities. Now I have a question of my own. If a "high-sec player" approached you out in null-sec. Would you take him in, teach him how null-sec works, and show him how to have a good time, or would you send him back to high-sec via the fastest route possible?

If low/null sec life is so great, why do I see so many posts from those living there complaining?

My favorites are the ones who admit to having several hisec alts, but still called themselves "nullseccers". Because being in hisec has a social stigma to it, even though they're still carebears at heart.

Sorry to semi necro this thread, but the same principle applies to asking people out on dates.

If you never take the first step and ask, you're not going to have as many people extending an invitation.

(and in EVE, very very rarely will players approach you in a general chat to join their corp, unless it's recruitment.)
