I am pretty new to EVE and from a new players perspective i have to say Null sec feels right, and so does High sec, but low sec feels wrong.

I dont understand why we even bother with this middle terminologoy. Seriously am i missing something? The only difference i have noticed is gate guns that really dont do anything to begin with. Is this supposed to make me feel somewhat safer in low sec than null sec?

I really feel this middle ground is the part of EVE that feels the least realistic. I would honestly tell a new player to just call everything null sec, because honestly low sec doesnt feel any different, and i feel it should.

I am not looking for a safe path to everywhere, i am just saying when there really is no difference to null sec and low sec than why even bother having it? Just call them all null sec and call it a day.

I suppose my proposal is some kind of adjustment to the guns, i suppose to make them bigger to make some sort of safe spot in low sec because otherwise we might as well just call them all null sec.

The guns exist to deter any would be attacks on gates/stations.
You are reasonably safe traveling through low sec if you think before leaping in.

Gate guns are a joke at best. Anyone with a T1 Battlecruiser and up or a T2 Cruiser and up can easily tank gate guns without ever breaking a sweat.

To the OP;
The numerous problems with lowsec are well documented and have been brought to CCPs attention countless times. They currently do not have an answer to the problem. All you're really doing is beating the same dead horse.
