Whats wrong with low sec? No, its not GCC timers, its not not being able to make isk, its not even that low sec is just the place between 0.0 and high sec. I know what it is. It is that low sec has got the Tiny Balls Syndrome (TBS for short).
Faction war are the people who have been infected most by TBS. In fact I think it was faction war who started this rapidly growing pandemic. They have been showing the symptoms long before I noticed them in anyone else.
Symptoms include - Not wanting to fight unless grossing outnumbering the opponent - FALCONS IN EVERY GANG - Bringing ******edly bigger ships to a gang when they have a choice (live in the same system, but bring Battleships for a few cruisers) - Running the moment things start to get a little hairy. - Talking **** in local, sitting on the high sec gate with a security status higher than -5.0. - Showing an unnatural attraction to sentry guns.
It seems there is no way to protect yourself from TBS either. If you join a corp already ripe with TBS, then within a few days you will begin to notice that the spuds beteen your thighs will begin to shrink. After that its only a matter of time before you become a *****.
There is only one cure for this. That is for CCP to give everyone with TBS free testical elargements. By giving everybody who need tham a bigger pair of balls: Low sec will be a better place for everybody to be. DO IT CCP!

I think a lot of problems could be resolved by changing how local functions, this is not an original idea but it still remains valid. Making local a constellation/regional local as opposed to solar system only would be a big step, making it function like wh space would be another route.
So while what you have stated is valid, I think the issue goes deeper, if local was not present the targets that immediately bail out/dock etc as soon as you enter local would not be able to know you entered local unless they physically see you with a scout.
The pipe we both live in and around sucks because most of it is a single system to single system jumps, so by placing 1 noob in a cov ops in 1 system you can effectively observe all hostile movements in your direction, only have to spam scan to get ship types when you see local ballooning.
Lowsec is nothing more than bait and blob ganks, most of the time the outcome of the engagement is decided before any fighting actually begins.
I agree with most of your bullet points but I think that is widespread in most games, talking **** is how some people achieve that "win" feeling, the fact that they hug highsec gates is just their nature. I sincerly wish that there was a way to remotely bump people off of gates, like an AOE module that when activated pushes all ships on grid 10-15 km from where they were....but now my mind is wandering
I will point out that as time passes my ...willingness...to chase around/bait/waste 30-45 minutes setting up an engagement is fading. It sucks when you know there are targets just ready to get killed but also know that as soon as your gang enters the local chat window the opportunity for a fight is lost.

- Talking **** in local, sitting on the high sec gate with a security status higher than -5.0.
When a Low Sec Roam finishes and I plan to safe up in Hi Sec I sometimes sit on the gate. I played a bumping game with another Cane once, then dueled him when I jumped just as he was about to bump me for a third time, then followed me into the 0.5 I was planning on docking for bed, good fight good kill!
But yeah the tactic is definatly cheap, I would not mind the full set of 8 sentries on the Hi Sec gates to discourage the overly safe camps!

I can't remember the last time I saw "people ratting in lowsec", maybe it's just where I live but the population of players around where I live breakdown something like;
40% negative sec status people looking for a gank 30% high sec status people looking for a gank 15% neutral alts of above characters (unprobeable gang link ships/cov ops/shuttle scouts/their bait "ratting"/logistics supply alts) 10% travellers (gate to gate traffic) 3% people looking for 4/10 6/10 plexes/sites 2% somebody trying to run a mission
That said, I don't think that this is a lowsec only issue, I think it is more the way pvp in eve has been heading for the past three years plus in regards to small gang combat.

You are wrong, while FW does have incredibly high levels of TBS, it has not infected them. It has always been there, because most FW's come from a high-sec background and it is amplified by the way the 'sheep' -read fw grunts- act, they only join the fleets of those FC's that they know won't get them killed. --- I smack just for myself.

Edited by: SFX Bladerunner on 03/10/2010 15:18:28 Fun low-sec facts:
- low-sec has sentry fire at gates and stations preventing falcons and lame-ass ships from operating properly - low-sec doesn't have gay-as-life hic and dic bubbles - low-sec doesn't have gay-as-life sov-warfare nor system claiming by 'TEH BLOBS' - low-sec sees a lot of travel from empire<->0.0 in the form of people hauling their stuff in and out (aka GOOD TARGETS) - low-sec sees a lot of faction warfare noobs (aka GOOD TARGETS) - The most pro solo/smallgang pvpers operate mostly from low-sec, NOT 0.0 and NOT empire (due mostly to the above stated characteristics of low-sec)

Amarr militia pilot here. I can safely say that the minmatar militia is suffering from TBS far faaaaar more than my own militia. It's getting harder and harder to suicide into their gangs, they just scatter the second you turn your guns on.
"ohgod he's engaging, HE MUST HAVE FRIENDS WITHIN 15 JUMPS, GET OUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT"
That being said, in my opinion the REAL sufferers of TBS are the fail supercarrier blob alliances that hotdrop the militia fleets.
"hai gais, letts hurpdrop tiny militial gang wit r moms"
Though, it appears they already know about their TBS and are compensating by flying bigger rides...

yeh and the one thing you forgot to mention. Half of low sec and FACTION WAR have a high security status. For pirate and people like us (whos natural home is low sec, its where we live, we cant enter high sec) thats a pretty big disadvantage.
I know all about low sec, and pretty much every mechanic and how it all works. I've lived there nearly the whole time I've been playing eve.
90% of the time I'm rocking a GCC, and unless your actualy -10 yourself you wont understand just how big of a disadvantage it is.
But I dont care about disadvantages, or that I play EvE on Hard Mode. No, all I care about is people with tiny nads, with bigger ships, more numbers, but still not willing to fight off of the gates.

Fake pirates who are really just pvp'ers/gankers kill nubs when the noob around in lowsec when they're one week old instead of offering them a paltry ransom, so the nubs stay in highsec and become missionbears.

Does low sec need some improvements? Sure.
But come on guys... you choose to live there, yes?
It's been borked since before you moved in, yes?
It's like asking the government to come in and make improvements in the ghetto. It's not worth their time and majority of taxpayers don't care.

I guess it is like that except it is like the gangs in the ghetto are unhappy with the low ammount of violence, and want the government to ramp it up a bit so targets can not escape.

You are proving my point even further my friend.
As I said, 'living' in low-sec is harsh, and not for the faint-hearted. If you are (as you say you are) a low-sec pvping inhabitant then you HAVE to have a -10.0 sec status, and somehow those -10.0 'pirates' (as everyone likes to call them) somehow still manage to camp off and kill low-sec 'guests' (read, people in lowsec without a -10.0 sec status/perma criminal-flag).
Which really can only mean that those successful (read: win more than lose) -10.0 low-sec dwellers have to be REALLY good pvpers and really good at managing all aspects of location fights and tanking/kiting in order to kill people that just dwell into low-sec for a quick roam or travel while they are constantly managing/tanking/kiting sentry aggro.
THOSE are the real pvp pros, not those empire 'lets wardec sum nubs and while fighting have a neutral friendly corp RR us' pussies or those 0.0 'CTA CTA TITANS>MOMS>DREADS>CARRIERS>ARMOR LOGIS>RR BS> HICS/DICS>EVERYTHING ELSE BLOB THE **** OUT OF THEM WITH OUR NAPLIST' blobbers.
I have nothing but the uttermost respect for those brave people that dare to reside, live and hunt in low-sec space.
Truth be told, the 'hard-mode' makes you harden the **** up and forces you to LEARN to be on top of every aspect of the pvp combat system from tweaking your ship to non-stop manually flying and paying good attention to your local, visual screen, module statusses, intel chans and overview.
If you can't deal with it due to a lack of intelligence, interest, time, dedication, reaction/thinking speed, leadership skills etc etc... you won't win much fights. If you CAN however, in my opinion that's as close to a 'graduating from eve pvp academy with top grades' achievement as you're going to get. __________________________________________________

You'd be an idiot to engage in 1:1 odds too, unless you rat in a pvp setup. I don't. But then I live in 0.0, maybe the rules are different out there (Bigger rats).
