Let CCP do it, let them nerf hisec into super high taxed and secure haven with limited access to industrial means. The players of Eve will adapt one way or the other. A player who doesn't want to fight other players won't leave hisec, most will rather stick to lower profits. In the end prices will go up and the population of low/nullsec will remain unchaned.

you want to have third world countries be the best at manufatcuring and the like?

jesus christ, you loosers are bigger idiots than i thought, and if CCP goes for this good luck on holding subs.

This poster overlooked the fact that IRL production usually moves to "trird world" countries due to cheaper labour and less legal issues. Something remotedly similar to what CCP is going to show us in this new update if industry changes will happen.

So even if we look at this from IRL point of view, it still makes sense...

If you have in your hands the key to the fulfillment of your life's ambition and superiority over most, if you are aware that there is an absolute power on hand (just over the basic moral principles) how far are you willing to go and through what you are willing to tread?

You seem to have overlooked the fact that low-sec is not a third world country.

Low-sec being a largely lawless area you would expect to find a small industrial base and a larger industrial base that manufacturers illegal products like drugs. But you would not expect to find most of the industry there. The largest industrial base will always be in the safer areas (unless they have no choice) which of course is high-sec, high-sec also being the place where most trade is.



Which I suspect was the original plan as all the better minerals are in low-sec and null.

I wonder what hardships those in low and null suffer that makes them so bitter?

Getting camped into stations.
Ganked at gates.
Bubbled.


All player initiated litterbox features.

Yeah, real productive environment there. People answer to their predicament by becoming resentful of those who are not having it as bad, and then clamor for everybody else to have it as bad as they do.


In the meantime, the only real way to get some realistic response over this matter is to make the security of highsec expensive. It's like this: if I want to open a factory where it is considered safest to do so, I am going to spend a lot of money in property taxes and operational licenses which the municipality spends on police forces.

If I want to keep just about everything I bring in, perhaps no licenses and low if at all any property taxes, then I would choose a lawless place to open the factory. Unfortunately, security is something that will also have to be handled by me.


Now, here's the question: would I be able to operate at a profit in either case? High taxes and license fees, or non of that with high security management costs?

If this is not done right, and there is as kind of arbitrary "punish the indies and stick them into the gatecampery/litterbox of the bitter campers", then things will not look good for the future. A realistic balance must be struck between what you get from where you are and what you have in return for your efforts.


Justice is not a global variable, it's more like water filling a host of cups. Some cups will have more. So here are the low-sec crowd, having "won" lowsec killing everything that moved and so they sit, their cups rather dry, lacking targets, and they are bitter. Move industry to lowsec they cry.

Will their cups runneth over? Maybe so, but the risk comes now from emptying the cups of others.

If that's their liking, hence the "yeah! stick it to those carebears!!!! Marsha Marsha Marsha!!!!!" and carebears quit, and they revell in that, then it would be said thta CCP had to step in and boost their likings in much the same way that they, in such bitter terms, already think that CCP is coddling carebears.

Thus, it's not water in those cups, we can call it "Coddle Cola". Any many people who complain or claim that Coddle Cola unfairly fills the cups of others will be happy and full of glee when the same liquid fills their cups.


This would be entertaining if real world political systems didn't suffer from the same kind of fools.

Your income should be less then it is now. That's the heart of it. As an highsec industrialist, you will never be able to reach the heights you could reach in low or nullsec, and if you can, currently, then its a system failure. If you want to stay in highsec for your safe, assured, highsec money, then do it. But don't expect to make as much as the people willing to actually take risks. And no, "I'm a paying subscriber" is not justification for you to get preferential treatment. If I buy a boardgame, that doesn't mean I get to win because its 'my game' and if I do claim something like that, I'm probably 5.

In short: HTFU, this is eve.


Not empty quoting. Greater risk should = greater isk.

Dam, might be more than two types of players in the game, I mean, there are more than two players in the game...Roll

Good thing no one is suggesting we try to change human nature then, just work *with* it.

I see what you and others are doing, but rationalizing it trying to make assertions is going to do nothing. you change EVE too much and its over, 90% of the denizens of EVE are the people your trying to **** with. they go, you go back to Warcraft.

Well, since I'm a WH dweller by nature and choice, i am pretty sure you *don't* "see what I'm doing".

What I would like to see happen is Null-sec (and by extension - possibly WH's) have reasons *live* where they "work". Instead of Null-sec entities having no choice but to do their manufacturing in Hi-sec (meaning their alts and Industry minded players live in hi-sec). It was pointed out that there are *systems* in hi-sec that have more manufacturing capacity than some entire *REGIONS* of null sec. Currently, even if they *want* to do their own manufacturing in null-sec, it involves the hell-grind that is POS industry, which isn't too bad for a single player, but if you are trying to run a manufacturing endeavor for a 500 or 1000 person alliance, it gets way to unwieldy fast.

However, if the residents of null-sec were given the opportunity to upgrade their systems with real manufacturing/invention/copying capacity - more of them would be willing to move their alts out of hi-sec and back "home". Secondly, there are *some* people who would like to do manufacturing in Null-Sec, be part of the Corps/Alliances out there, but as it stands - they aren't needed at all with hi-sec pumping out product in uncountable amounts, so there is no reason for Null-Sec corps/alliance to recruit industry players, per-say.


Now, as to the assertion that ". . . 90% of the denizens of EVE are the people your trying to **** with . . . " - you are wrong, wrong, wrong.

Eve Fanfest presentation "State of the Economy" - Would be very enlightening for you.

Particularly where Dr E (CCP in house economist) presents a snapshot of player activity starting about 02:51. CCP hasn't ever announced when they are doing these snapshots, or how often they happen, but they give a baseline to work from. Another important consideration is that Null/00/WH residents tend to have more "hi-sec" alts than strictly hi-sec characters (according to CCP). So some % of those Hi-Sec residents in the snapshot are alts of Low-Sec, WH or Null-sec dwellers.

At 04:19 there are two graphs, showing a snapshot of where people are. In the first pie-chart we see that 71.5% of people were in hi-sec when the snapshot was taken. So 18.5% different than your 90% assertion. Second chart shows it even clearer, 65.3% of players were active in hi-sec, a 34.7% difference. Remember also that some of those active in hi-sec won't be self-identifying "hi-sec" dwellers. They will be alts of everyone else - so the final tally, while specifically unknown, can be guesstimated to be below 71%, and possibly below 65.3%.

For example, I've got three accounts, two in hi-sec (one market/Hauler/salvaing alt) and one Exploration/mission running alt. Even when I'm out of wh's, regardless of where I am, I'm *not* a hi-sec dweller, and there are others in the same situation - so please, leave the Ad-Hominims and hyperbole at home.

If you're not a bad industrialist you would just push the costs on to the consumer, and your profit margin would be exactly the same as it is today.

What's the problem?
