Hello,

Im a casual player, a loner. I like to do things my way, at my own speed. Ive played eve for some time now and ive tried a bit of it all. I currently live in low-sec.

Apparantly there are some myths regarding it. First of all its not more dangerous than 0.0, specifcally because there are no warp bubbles. However there are still certain chokepoints that you have to be aware of, and check, to avoid being smartbombed. To earn money in low-sec you can arrange a POS empire, because no-one bothers to shoot POS'es- possibly a failed mechanic tho - you can do exploration, even faction warfare. Its not hard to earn money, and it opens up to so many other areas of gameplay. Add to that the most awesome players seem to be in low-sec, at least there is a more relaxed atmosphere. Maybe someone can explain what exactly the problem with low-sec is? I for one am enjoying it

The no bubbles, only mean you can fly small ships or have to use an alt.

I've visited Rancer yesterday.
Wasn't even half as bad as people often claim it is. :D

That's daily business there. When i went, there were at least 20 members of negative ten inside.
Actually nice people, had no issues with them. Didn't even get blobbed.

And Rancer is *beautiful* !

Actually it was a response to people saying low-sec is broken. Its not, and it doesent need a unique mineral only found there. Then the big organisations will take over, and go out of their way to force everyone else out

I find it amusing how basically every 0.0 alliance is recruiting. It didnt always use to be like this. If someone wants 0.0 they can basically pick any alliance they want and gogo

I never understood why anybody would want to live on an island full of friends in 0.0 with occasional* bigfights,
instead of living in highsec where there are THOUSANDS of people to terro... have fun with, every single day.

I, for one, prefer to be a target than to sit on an island full of friends.


* of course it varies, but in the end when you're surrounded by blues, what's there to do ? You can argue about this,
but alliances collapse also because of boredom, because there's nothing more to do. Hi Goons, come to highsec ! :D

Well first of all, this hot debate about low population in lowsec didint start hisec dwellers. Low/null dwellers did. Hiseccers just pointed that this low population is mainly because of gatecaps. You cannot have high population in lowS when lowsec dwellers dont let them pass in. They are not affraid to lose ship in belts, doing l4-5 or other activities in lowsec. They are just disgusted being ganked soon as they enter into the lowsec by blob "elite PvP" camp.

According the Rancer. Your one time visit conclusion that it is not as messy as rumors said is statisticaly unreliable. Im traveling through Rancer on daily basis (jita-hek trading in cloaky industrial) and its camped 80% of all time i pass through.

"Most people in highsec are cowards. Loudmouths. Worthless scum that wastes space."

Cowards? Loudmouths? Please check aggain what kind of dwellers blob camping gates and station exits. Also check General disscussion from the last month. I cannot remember when did i lasts saw soooo much tears from "l33t-ers".

Hahaha, you're a funny guy, probably the funniest in this thread.

A guy like you shouldn't be afraid coming to null and take care of his own business al alone and you know what, null sec is full of juicy targets and solo/small gang pvp. You have NPC station in null too, just go there, I for once would believe you when you say you prefer to be a target but, actually don't.

Fake edit: Ho and your boosting alt sitting in the POS you can also have it over there so what are you waiting?

That's what they say, but it's bullcrap. Those who want can get into lowsec easily, those who don't wine about camps.
If one can't make it solo ... well d'oh ... but if they can't even group up ... it's only their fault.

Just because they say it's the camps, doesn't mean it's not their fault for not fighting to get through.
If you now want to argue that they might not want to fight, then there's no point in going to lowsec *at all*.

I agree that this one-time-event isn't statistically reliable, but that doesn't change anything. You may not know,
but people keep complain about whatever seems fitting, ignoring the fact that they have a worthy chance of moving
*anywhere they want* given they *fight for their right to do so*.

If you have issues with blobs, you have issues with the simple fact that humans tend to group up.
That's standard human behaviour. That they might act like complete retards is a totally different thing.

So ? Does that change anything ?I was talking about *highseccers* and never said it's highseccers *ONLY*
who are cowards and bigmouths. It just seems that the majority of these live in highsec, which seems to be a perfectly
valid claim because there are more people in highsec than in lowsec and highsec also contains those players who
rather not fight and/or can hide behind CONCORD to protect them !

I totally agree with the OP. I don't know where this "you cannot step in low sec without being ganked" myth comes from. Yes, it can happens and happens, but is not like this making low sec a non viable option. And the fun and incomes fully compensate any possible occasional loss.

yes, traveling AFK with autopilot in high sec is not a good idea, also mining afk is not that smart there. And yes, sometime is wise to use D-Scan (omg, such a tragedy Smile).... but beside this low-sec is even too much "safe".

What I hate is high-sec: all those crowded systems full of loud people yelling all the time, complaining, chit chatting.... So when you finally come back to your low-sec skies it's all so relaxing....

This man is a liar and a charlatan! Everyone knows that as soon as you jump into a low-sec system, your ship automatically explodes and a free killmail is automatically handed out to the closest pirate player.
