Should everything be better in Null-sec?

On the Jester's Trek blog everyone's favorite CSM member said:

"So, YES, null-sec should have better income for EVERYTHING than high-sec. It should be better for EVERYTHING than high-sec."

I said I thought that remark to be a bit snooty, but now I'm wondering. I always thought that every part of eve should have its pros and cons, and let the players decide on the trade-offs to make. Shouldn't there be aspects of the game where null should need high-sec input in various ways? Why can't high-sec have some little treasure of its own that makes it most groovy in its own special way?

But hey, I could be wrong. So, I ask, is Jester right? Should EVERYTHING be better in null-sec than high-sec?

May I have your stuff?

Of course.

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

yes, there's no reason why it shouldn't.

then again, just because things in null should be better doesn't mean high sec should suck balls either. it's called balance.

I like this Thread. It has good potential for entertainment and will therefore subscribe and return once I have popcorn.

Ripard Clouseau's special investigation has revealed that when given the chance, Nullblock CSM representatives will vote for a nullsec buff.

The pro of hisec is, surprise surprise, high security.

Generally, outside of being a moron (officer fits, driving overloaded freighters through known gank hubs, mission running under wardec, not tanking your minning ship enough, etc.) it is very difficult to lose assets in hisec.

The same is not true for other types of space, despite what you may have heard from certain inept bloggers or sub-moronic trolls.

Highsec does have its own little treasure.

It has security.

Get out of highsec if you want greater reward.

With greater risk comes greater reward... and greater consequence.

That said, WH > NulSec.

Null-sec should be *worse* than high-sec in everything. At least until it got upgraded by sov mechanics. And every upgrade should be possible to be impaired by roaming gangs. And you should be required to specialize your systems just like ships and fittings. Null-sec is full sandbox. If you don't build up your stuff and keep it from trampled in, you should have a hard time.

Read the link in my signature for a example on how that could be done.

Well, if we're going by EVE's risk vs. reward motto, then yes.

Buff null sec, buff low sec, leave high sec as is.

The rewards should scale with the risk.
