I want to see:

Gurista really invade Caldari, Angel Cartel invade Minmatar space, Serpentis invade Gallente and Blood Raiders raid the hell out of Amarr space.

I want NPC rats blowing **** up!! I want to see NPC gate camps, station camps and obliterate unsuspecting miners. Im tired of seeing these cheesy rats in the belts.....so called "spies" and "scouts".

CCP, highsec as it stands right now is boring. Its too safe an area of the game. Dont nerf the rewards of carebears in highsec. Increase them. But make 0.5-0.7 systems more dangerous with good bounties for retaking systems. Good bounties for eliminating NPC gate and station camps. Give players a reason to escort freighters, protect miners and provide cover for mission runners to get out of station to go complete a

Freighters autopilot all throughout Empire without much risk. Miners afk in belts with only gankers to worry about. I want to see carebears band together to retake their home when the NPC pirates invade and make it as dangerous to leave station as if they were in lowsec or null. Carebears are good at one thing.....killing NPCs. So CCP, give them more **** to shoot at.

Have Sleepers hop in from that new k162 that spawned and start kiling players in hisec. Give players a reason to pay attention before undocking.

Have NPCs pod players too.

At least for a few months, have all the NPC pirate factions truly invade highsec so it affects EVERYONE who lives in 0.5-0.7 systems. Incursions are cool, but not dangerous enough. I want to see exploding pinatas in highsec. Make us all have to fight to defend our homes. Because right now, the highsec PvE is just too damn easy and boring. Some love PvE without the PvP. So give us more intense PvE in highsec.

Set highsec on fire!!!!!!!

Admittingly, having actual random NPC pirate raiding events would be nice at the very least...

Step 1: Join a player corp.

Step 2: Participate in that corp.

Step 3: Be less bored.

You mean more risk-free isk and loot? Better to add some kind of mechanic to allow faction warfare gangs to come into enemy highsec space and kill everyone without invoking a Concord response. Collaborators from other races are no better than the race you're actually fighting against.

No, your rights end in optimal+2*falloff

instead of the obvious things I could say, I will admit I am still planning to head to Buckingham for PVP-free level 5 gameplay.

Not risk free. Players should have to escort freighters and orcas. The invading NPCs should not be easy. They should be out for blood. hell i would like to see them bring in their own miners and start clearing belts. Make miners have to fight to get to use their belts. Have there be the possibility that Dodixie fall under the control and ownership of Serpentis. Throw the market in disarray because highsec isnt so safe anymore.

Don't need too much to have some action, only need events (like incursion, or live events or FW related events) that temporary drop the sec status in specific systems.

Then things happen :)

Anything involving NPCs is meticulously cataloged and put on various websites so that carebears can maximise their isk per hour. My way would involve players creating the content, which would mean it would be less predictable. As a group of people, Eve players do things that are stupid, brilliant, stupidly brilliant and brilliantly stupid. This keeps it fresh and exciting, kinda like all other emergent player-driven content in the game.

hrmm npc's webbing and scramming at gates. *pictures now all the freighter pilots auto piloting with billions in cargo complaining more then they do now.* makes me excited just thinking about it.

Not if its random and/or spearheaded by the devs like live events. I heard the devs did a live event where the took a serpentis titan across a part of eve. Players were tasked with destroying the titan. Some players came out and took the side of the Serpentis and managed to escort the titan all the way. CCP has the tools and the ability to do those types of events. I want them to do that kind of stuff in highsec. Make carebears actually care about something more than the daily grind.

So we provide interesting and involved gameplay and you guys whine until it gets nerfed and then you ask that NPCs provide involved and interesting gameplay...

Maybe sections of the area where the pirates have briefly cut CONCORD communications or something. Limited to maybe a station in a high sec area based on where the pirates are raiding? Mixed in with some DUST interactivity.

This will come as a shock to you but if your playstyle is boring you, you know, you could always consider changing your playstyle. Low sec is only a few jumps away, and I promise it is considerably less boring. Oh. You don't want to do that? Then shut up and enjoy your boredom.

Live events are great, but CCP don't have the time to run them often. Besides, players should be creating the content, not to mention there are no silly rules against us podding other players. Lol

Just remove NPC corps and wardec evasion/corphopping, that would go a long way towards alleviating this tedium.

Or just let us wardec the NPC corps. That sure would get things hopping.

True. There are quite a few of us who would gladly roam around attacking and podding players at random, only Concord is there. And then someone comes along and suggests that NPCs get to have the fun we can't.
