EVE General Discussion

Because these messages are limited ONLY to highsec.....

But that's the catch, isn't it? You have to be paying attention. It doesn't matter how you fit your ship, you always have to be paying attention. In highsec, as long as you're not an idiot about ship fitting and you're not at war, you don't have to pay attention at all in order to stay safe. It's also not as if you have to take special precautions when traveling either.

As far as i know this works in all new eden not just in hisec.
I know that catching yelow/red pilots outside undock area is sometimes difficult (they know how to fly), but that doesnt mean that you should pours out rage on hisec.

If you 'dont care about other areas' stop crying about how lame your stupid carebear system and playstyle are.

Hi sec is not safe at all. The consequences for doing certain actions in there are pre-defined and consistent (enough) though. And some times the consequence is "certain" exploding.

Useless rationalizing. What you just said is "South Central Los Angeles is safer than Beverly Hills (despite the fact that more real intentional violence occurs in South Central) because you know there are gang-bangers in South Central, where as anyone driving an expensive car in Beverly Hills could possibly be out to kill you"

And it would be just as dumb in game as it sounded right here. Every neutral or even Red in null sec is not out to get you, so are just passing through trying to get home (or chasing a plex escalation tryign to get rich). And Some Blues ARE out to get you (they are called Awoxers) making all the intel channels and local watching useless.

In high sec if you aren't war decced, you don't have to look at local. if someone shoots at you without a wardecc or some kind of consensual engagement, THE GAME (CONCORD) kills them for you. No one can even restrict your access to stuff you store in stations, because those npc stations can be taken, so even you STUFF is safer.

Your post is a very good example of what I'm saying, and why i don't like high sec even though I sometimes play there. High sec not only keeps it's dwellers "safer" than they could be in any other section of space, like a real life modern welfare state it insulates them from actual reality, realites everyone outside of the coddled and protected state can see clearly. Too much high sec seems to warp one's mind to irrational jelly.

Highsec is both too safe and not safe enough. New players are too easily ganked, yet simultaneously highsec affords too much safety to older players.

I propose highsec should be split into tutorial systems and normal highsec. The tutorial systems should all be linked together by gates, with one or two gates to the rest of highsec (that carry warning messages). Players with more than 2 million skillpoints should not be allowed to enter tutorial space. Once this happens people will be more receptive to altering the safety of highsec.

That said, the real issue is not that highsec is too good, it's that nullsec and lowsec are too bad. CCP created nullsec stations as lesser versions of their highsec counterparts. They were both more risky and had fewer services. When there were significant rewards to be had for the individual player in nullsec, these stations were full. However the moment the reward vanished the stations emptied, and that is where we are stuck today. Centralised nullsec income promotes blobbing, which means no fights and no money for the grunt. With no incentive to journey to nullsec, many PVPers are overhunting highsec bears, which can only be bad for the game's future subscription count. There are more people harvesting tears right now than there are people to provide them.

In null there are a LOT more people who are "not blue" than there are people in highsec who have both the ability and desire to blow up your ship despite the consequences of doing so.

As for the others, they're entirely avoidable by fitting your ship intelligently and avoiding WTs.

And that's a cop out, probably because you have to realize how silly your opinion is. Not knowing the intentions of others doesn't mean you are less safe, especially when most people in high sec mean you no harm.

More pvp deaths happen in null sec than in high sec. If you say "high sec is more dangerous for low level pve players than null sec" that statement would be true, but only because so many frigates get blown up in starter and low level missions.

Where, exactly is your evidence that high sec is safer? Rhetorical question, we all know you have none, that for folks like you (too many of whom reside in high sec) aren't evidence based thinkers. Here is evidence of why you are wrong.

HI-SEC - Safe from what. I just cleaned out a Hi-sec corp for just under 6bill.

Please tell me how that is safe for the people crying that i just stole all their ****.

If you want to go arround popping people in hi sec to think your clever then thats your stupidity. grow some balls and think bigger. Do some work rather than running arround in cheep ships ganking noobs
