Is there a true high sec candidate?

I have been listening to the Zebra Crossings' podcasts, and reading the platforms here in this forum section.

I have yet to hear / see one candidate that says ", yes, I embrace the high sec game, and will fight to maintain it as is, since it needs no tweaking, let alone an overhaul."

Please tell me I am wrong, and such a candidate has declared.

Oh, even though I am positive this thread will be filled with troll posts of acolytes of the high sec griefer running as the "saviour", I will hopefully see a post from someone who can direct me to a high sec candidate.

That's because the sloth of highsec doesn't need any more progress in the direction of low effort, bot-like, solo behavior.

Have you considered that so few people believe there is nothing wrong with hi-sec that any one running on that platform just would not be elected?

Alternatively, you could run yourself. I'm sure you'll get in no prob since everyone knows highsec has more players right?

You should get Hans to run for hi sec CSM. He doesn't like trolls and that seems what you are worried most about.

I don't think it's possible to afk-campaign, so you probably won't see that kind of candidate arising anytime soon. What you are describing isn't a "highsec" candidate, it's a status quo candidate. I suppose if you want more of the same you can vote for incumbents like Trebor. If you want to see some sorely-need upgrade of gameplay in high sec you can vote for people who have a track record of providing that in game.

"If elected to CSM 8 I will try to persuade CCP that highsec is perfect in every way and that they should make no changes whatsoever."

Good luck with that.

I am assuming that you're using the modern definition of troll here; "someone who I can't argue against effectively so I need to dismiss him using labelling".

Have you read this?

Even Xenuria's not that delusional.

Shockhorror, there's a reason that nobody is running on that platform.

(Stealing somebody else's analogy)

By general consensus amongst the scissors, paper is fine but rock must be changed, thus there is no need for any rock candidate to advocate that rock is OK.

Nice analogy except in this case its rock telling everyone it is fine, and everyone telling rock, no it isn't it has fallen apart and it is now only a pebble, with all the other fragments of the rock telling it it is sick and needs to go to the rock hospital.

Well, i've spent the last three years reading the forums and so i do know what "hisec needs to change" means in eveforumitic language. Roll

I'll be grateful to stand corrected, but i seriously doubt that people here is asking for more and better missions, better mining, better POS mechanics, more soloable stuff and new endgame casual friendly mechanics -that is, more of what hiseccers do in hisec and adding the kind of content that hisec is missing in order to be a viable long term alternative for those who refuse to move to low/nullsec or engage in combat PvP.

Man...even a master wordsmith would have had a hard time creating such an incisive and poignant piece of self-referential irony demonstrating the absolute absurdity of the classical hisec forum warrior position.

I'd almost believe you are some genius fifth columnist troll, but I highly doubt anyone that smart would waste their valuable time and extraordinary talents playing Eve, much less posting on this terrible forum about it.

Hiseccers are stupid, but not that stupid

Typical responses from the chattering classes of null sec.

I just listened to the 48 minute state of the nation for test alliance.
It is tragic to read all these posts about how high sec is broken and must be nerfed, while also listening as Shadoo says that PL is giving away free dreads and carriers to all its members to replace caps that don't fit the current doctrine. And of course, how test is considering a supercap subsidy program, but upset how the capital sub program was a mess and the 180 people that took advantage of it are not using them, or left the alliance.

Yes, null sec is not making enough ISK and high sec too much.......

If you guys want to spam propaganda, you might want to make sure there are not facts out there that counter what you say.

Bottom line, high sec players have no interest in nerfing null sec, but null sec has an intense interest in nerfing high sec.

Hisec players would also nerf hisec, if they had any interest in the game in general. Null is nerfed enough as it is, so it only needs buffing.
