Yep, just what I said. Only now I'll be a little more descriptive of it.
What would happen, if concord left 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 space for exactly one month? Then returned slowly, 2 weeks at a time to each one (1 month, then concord would enter 0.7 again, 2 more weeks 0.6, 2 more weeks 0.5.) With a small modifier that concord will remain in all main market hubs, just lowering it to min security level (0.5).
This is just a thought is all, and would likely have some interesting effects on the game. I mean, the loss of many ships and the restricted access of miners for a short while would likely make prices for things go up, the loss of many ships would also cause ship prices to go up for a while. It would show us who our true allies are, and likely give everyone some interesting lessons here and there.
I just thought it might be interesting, if an event was called into the game where suddenly concord had to go deal with some massive crisis situation that required them to pull back for a while, then slowly slip back into the systems to re-protect them. Not saying it SHOULD happen, but, we never have any real events that effect all of eve online like this. I mean, why not have some random event once a year that would cause all of eve to be affected? Not always having to be bad either. I could come up with a great many events really that could happen all throughout the eve universe that would certainly make it more fun and random. |

For one, CODE. would only reside in 0.8-1.0
For another, it would be just like the rest of lowsec... boring, dead and full of 'leet' pirate pvpers gate camping trade routes.
What I want to know is what would happen if every Goon or PL member left the game forever...

You're not thinking on the bigger picture. With the removal of 0.5-0.7 safety status, aka no concord, many pilots would be blown up. Links between high sec areas would become lowsec, so highsec systems would be split off from each other. You wouldn't be able to travel between regions as easily.
Highsec, the remaining 0.8-1.0, would he filled with many MANY miners, and they would deplete the systems very rapidly. You would be forced to venture out into lower security systems to mine during the concord pull back. |

CCP has no sense of humour.

What would be a much more interesting idea would be to turn the whole of null into lo-sec.

Pretty easy.
You actually talk to members of each organization, and rather than assuming that due to their "label" and "actions" in a video game, you actually realize that like most of the human beings playing the game......
They are actually pretty decent human beings.
Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

OP's idea has been posted multiple times. If really wanna shake things up how about something new such as :
Empire Factions designate 1.0 to 0.6 systems as new high security and declare them a 'No Shoot Zone' by activating a 'Weapon Disruption' frequency which prevents weapons being fired on non legal targets.
Empire Factions then designate 0.5 to 0.1 as the new low security and Concord moves there to conduct business as usual.
Now that would definitely make the game more interesting.

Concord is a necessary mechanic, that has a balancing effect in high sec. Your idea would simply reduce high sec's size.

it would just turn into low sec for a few weeks without the perks of lowsec like cynos better ore capitals.
yes there would also be tears but as long as its well advertised before hand most high sec players would just move to a safe 0.8 for a week |

That made my day!
Now i have to wipe coffee from my keyboard!
However if some systems would have "variable sec State", itmight add an interesting factor. Gankers and miners would have to watch permanently for that.

Why not do away with Concord altogether? Make the FacPo seriously tougher, like SWAT tough in 1.0 and .9 and on down to current levels in losec.
Security status a thing of the past. An outlaw in Caldari space could be a hero in The Federation. And you could let the FW peeps do hunting too, give em those LPs and standings for killing their enemies.

Confirming I'm a coward and do not participate in real fights or have in EVE. My entire kill history is made up of false API submissions and Eveboard hasn't banned me because they're in a coward agreement. The only fun I get from EVE is reading these forums and some of the utterly misguided comments. No fun allowed. Mittani's orders. |

Agree with OP, so long as clones, medical clones/immortality and along with HIC and bubbles allowed, pods at this point are just escape mechanism. Got the griefers hiding in high sec but now they cannot run, but when you go pop now CCP can implement their burner clone + death. No more abuse, everyone is fair game with this skill points on the line and non-refundable loss....let the risk adverse begin |

Such negativity.
Have you ever considerd that your lack of fun is the source of fun for members of the most glorious CFC and its esteemed and valued frenemies PL?
Do your part as a player and provide fun for other people. Its the right thing to do!

CCP would lose the subs of people who prefer hisec is what would happen.
Just inserting some new lowsec systems in between the empires would be interesting though... Would probably increase price differences of certain items across empires and make it more worthwhile to ship stuff between them. |

I think the more fun idea that I've seen posted is to just remove CONCORD, for one day, with absolutely zero warning.
It'd be interesting to see who is, or who is not paying attention to the various news outlets of the game, and learns the hard way instead.

Why don't you turn your idea to something like: The more players get blown up in a system, the lower it security status will be (read: Jita, Poinen, Uedama will soon be nullsec) and the more NPCs are shot the higher the security status will be (read: some nullsec would transform into lowsec and finally highsec, maybe with a warm 'thank you' message the empire hands you out for bringing security back to lost places).
This "dynamic security status" would make New Eden a little bit less static... |

Well, if they are going to change anything why not carry on with the current trend.
Concord says thank-you to the null bears for cleaning up null sec and making it safe and null merges with high-sec. |

My rebuttal is this.
If you are the kind of "player" who will quit the game if your near-absolute safety is lowered, you are not wanted in EVE. Pretty much every single part of this game has eaten a nerf over the course of EVE's history for the sake of the health of the game. But you say you should be immune to this, or you'll quit? Gtfo with that entitled bullshit. That's not reasonable, that's just childish and selfish.
Yes, highsec will be made less safe eventually. Yes, you lot will actually have to put some tiny amount of effort into defending yourselves.
If that's a deal breaker for you, if actually playing the game is out of the question in your mind, then just quit right now. You aren't contributing anything anyway, beyond your own selfish little niche.
