When I started playing?

The sociopaths stayed in lowsec as the ambient nuisance to stronger corporations that could handle both combat and industrial activities. I grew up as a baby miner headquartered in Hegfunden back then, dodging pirates (real and NPC) and making a living. Just enough profit to keep me rolling. "Carebears" could operate and keep the gears of EVE rolling.

Now? The sociopath culture has expanded to metagaming highsec, now that they've overrun lowsec and ensured that nothing lives there except the -10's. Players that prefer to be left alone are targeted, rejected, harassed, and encouraged to quit.

Now you have hulkageddon, standardized highsec ganking, and megainvestor market manipulation, and CCP-sponsored RMT (plex). You could navigate through highsec without getting scanned every ten gates.


Nulsec used to be reasonably stable, not undergoing massive territory shifts every time an expansion came out, before the Goon/BoB war.

You could find a fight when you wanted a fight. You could be left alone if you would prefer. Everyone had a niche they could play in. Not so much anymore.
