No wall of text here, just a simple question. A clear one sentence reply would benice.

Edit: Since i've gotten a few replies suggesting that this is a thread about how safe high sec needs to be... let me add the following to my original question: Do we really need high sec at all or (as someone recently pointed out) what is the point of having multiple security levels when we can have just one big battlefield?

A false soft baby blanket of false security that you can hide under so you can't see the monsters that are getting ready to tear your baby blanket in half and rip you a new bum before dumping your body in a shallow asteroid?

IMO, especialy with starter systems, it gives genuin new guys a first impression of the game, skewed or not

Ok. And what impression is that?

To provide an area where aggression comes at a cost, so you can gamble on people's miserliness and hope it keeps you from getting blown up.

Role playing mostly

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Hisec is the totality of systems with security ratings from 0.5 to 1.0 inclusive. This bracket of systems operates under concord enforcement with respect to pod pilot interactions.

Fails at that then unless the role is that of roadkill.

No reason for aggression. Simply pointing to the fact that cost is relative and may approach zero and thus become irrelevant.

Well by having starter system it will of course make the game seem more populated then it is. It will also attract attention of baiters, so there will be a variety of ships to cause a wooooooow factor

A place where CCP put newbies, and then direct them to tutorials where they have to shoot red crosses or mine, then they think that all you do in Eve is shoot red crosses or mine, and they grow up to be whiny risk-averse officer-fit-Golem or hulk flying publords.

None of which makes the slightest bit of difference.

Also, no, you're not pointing anything out. You're asking a silly question.

Ok getting much warmer now, so what you are saying is that it has an underlying "business" goal in terms of new "customer" appeal?

So that 0.0 dwellers can feel tough, smug and have folk to look down on.

This is not a signature.
