If you live in High-Sec, what is the draw here?
For me, it was establishing some ISK to allow me to absorb loss. It's a good fall back for if I lose all of my ships (hey, can't all be as good as Suitonia you know!)
If I lost everything, I'd HAVE to come back to high sec to rebuild.
Once I've rebuilt, I'd be back in Null ASAP.
That's me. That's why I need highsec to exist. I need to be able to walk, before I can fly.
Hows about you? Why are you there? Why do YOU need highsec to exist?
There are good ships,
And wood ships,
And ships that sail the sea

Jita. It makes for such easy buying and selling. Pretty much the center of the cluster.
Highsec allows for casual mode too. It's mostly safe aside from tthe mechanics of the game, the loot stealers, bumpers, gankers etc. If you don't have much time to play, running a few anoms for lower level DED escalations is good.
Lore reasons ofc. Gotta have an empire area.
If you've got the time, I don't see why you would live here though.

mostly for the joy of flying space ships and enjoying visuals.
and getting a build up of isk ratting in expensive, but pretty ships is nice and relaxing (specially with friends)
once i feel i have enough isk saved up, i'll usually go exploring into nullsec (using a much cheaper ship, aka manticore, astero, Prospect, or anything else with cov ops cloak)
and do what i love most. rat and mine. i'll rat any battlecruiser/battleship rats i find in mining belts in my manticore (mostly for the isk bounty, but if they drop some good loot thats nice. specially if its MORE torpedos. once i get a full cargo hold...this means i need to start planning a trip back to highsec to drop it off)
i'll try...TRY... to mine some of the more "Exotic" ores in null (but i'm a scaredy cat. the moment someone shows up on d-scan or if i just get spooked by...well anything, i'll cut the mining lasers and cloak asap. float 20-30km from the asteroid of my interest and wait till i feel safe. -you'd be amazed how often i get spooked...its normal for me to never finish a full mining cycle and instead cut it off at 10-25% multiple times.
and astero or stratios..i'll try to find a pvp fight....but this is rare as i can never find a solo fight i'm comfortable will remain a solo fight and not a gang murdering me. so my "killboard" for this is still rather....empty........the few times i've almost gotten kills, either they get away or have friends show up on d-scan(remember how easily i get spooked?) and i end up hiding.
i'm a carebear till the end and proud, but the occasional nullsec adventure like this helps get rid of any boredom that ever develops. even if i spend most of my time cloaked looking around scared.
even when i'm in highsec, i'm constantly planning my next adventure (usually by refitting my manticore and prospect builds to find a cheaper, or more efficent, or safer build.)
highsec is my castle, my fallback, my safespot. without it, i would never get the courage to go nullsec as i wouldn't have that knowledge that somewhere is safe for me. |

I find that other areas of the game tend to have events that trigger adrenaline in me. I have a bad reaction to adrenaline, it makes me feel quite horrid for a day or two. So, I say in high sec where I almost never have to deal with that.

I am a full time Highsec dweller.
I too like the casual experience, there are always targets around. Just login, blap some miners, destroy some rebels, log out again, it is a lot of fun actually.

Industrialists, even from the beginning of Eve, have found a home in high sec as people ship things from the 'fringes' of null to the waiting hordes of shoppers in Yulai, then Jita et al later on.
Being able to do, go and see most things was always a facet for me. I hated the faction lock out splits when they showed up and have fiercely railed against that since. Freedom of movement and able to play all areas of the game has meant a lot for me. I have made many forays into null, low but have always kept a base(s) in high sec not just as a fall back but as a way to take a break without taking a break, from the game, from the politics and bullshit. It affords me a laissez faire play mode where I can dabble or go hardcore and when I get that urge to create a plan of action I go forth into the area where I can do so and put said plan into action.
Not all plans last beyond first contact..... but that is life isnt it? Regroup and go at it again.
All told this is my 6th and longest foray into null and my 6th long break from it.
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.
Had to end sometime.

There isn't much of a draw to HS, to be honest. I was living out of HS two months into the game, and every time I try it again I immediately get bored. The PvP is easy (what's the fun of shooting someone who you know won't shoot back?), the PvE has no risk, etc.
You don't need HS to rebuild/build up a supply of ISK. Take away all my assets, give me a prospect and a scanning fit interceptor and I can build up a decent supply outside of HS.
The only attraction to HS is it's easier to live in, which is absolutely an OK way to play the game, but when I want an easy game I don't pick EVE. |

Sometimes it is nice to relax and do some missions without the need to watch your back.
It is like vacation and like vacation it gets boring if you have too much of it. |

I'm currently a HIghSec dweller.
Mostly because I don't have the commitment to EVE that I once did. I want a casual relaxing thing to do and to be more involved with the RP/Lore side of the game.
For me personally HighSec just seems more alive and what a space simulator is, random events and players all around. NullSec was for me just a barren land with no random events or encounters, you PvP when a fleets up and you carebear when not, a red comes in and you dock until it goes away.

See, there is such an incredible variety of reasons for high sec.
I wouldn't want to see any of you get nerfed.
May you forever keep playing in the sandbox "your way" and not some armchair generals way.
Thank you for the replies.

Well, I'm going to add a reply. I stayed in hisec for this long, I decided I will just stay here mainly because EVE is a mature game and there are established areas. I talked to some people in null to join up and if I met the guy personally, I would want to punch him in the face, so that didn't work out. I had an invite to join up with a low sec ganker corp, who seemed like a group of great guys, but I didn't want to go the ganker route. Why? because of the sec status system and everything attached to it. I'd much rather keep it in the positive to have that access to hisec always open.
At this point, F it. I'd rather see buffs to hisec. |

I just didn't have any sort of goals or direction in lowsec or null, so I up and started gate ganking in highsec. I guess I'll just keep doing that until I can think of something more productive or lucrative to do with my time.

Best place to keep my BPOs. I'd rather make copies and shuttle them every so often than have to re-research a whole station or starbase full of BPOs if stuff gets really bad.
It's also a great place to teach new players basic EVE things in a controlled environment.
Having a hisec fall back position where the majority of your assets rest is kind of a big deal for smaller corps. If you get your teeth kicked in you don't necessarily have to lose everything. |

Haven't found a nulsec corp that doesn't think PvP excludes industry, or that industry is something for alts.
I won't pidgeon-hole myself. I like to do lots of different things. |

I tried to get into it for a good spell in my first few years and just couldn't start caring. Having said that... I really get where you are coming from on this. I think industrialists are really getting shafted in nullsec, and I agree it's a problem for the ecosystem as a whole. I also get the diversified activities draw that is so foundational in EvE. Despite your experience being so very far apart from mine, I think your post resonates with me the most. It's a really good and understated point.

I am because I find it very difficult to get out of highsec. I have odd hours at work, and I find it very difficult to find corps that are active when I am. The few times I tried to leave highsec for other areas, I just end up getting awoxed and "fired", which leaves me back at square one. I'm not talented or knowledgeable enough to solo those areas - and even if I were I wouldn't want to. This is an MMO...I actually do want to interact with other people. But apparently other people will have none of that.
So, when my hours get changed at work (fingers crossed for "before end of this year", my boss says), maybe I'll have better luck being online when other corps are active and I'll try it again.
Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

I like to have some very high value pirate ships to mess around with in High-sec that I wouldn't dream of bringing to Null, actually don't often bring those to Low either. When in Null I generally only use T1 or some T2 (interceptors, bombers and covert ops frigates), if you can't afford (or don't want to) lose it, don't use it outside of High-sec tbh. |

I used to live in high sec, ran lvl 4's, first corp was a school corp near jita and ive met great people there, learned a lot about the game even if i did not pewpew a lot up there
High sec is cool ! The problem I have now with it is that you dont really know who is that guy in local, in null or low sec, you know its either a friend, or an enemy/target, well unless you're colorblind and make no difference between red and blue : D |

That's the situation I find myself in... looking for a corp which is balanced. I'm sure there are nulsec (or WH) corps out there which don't separate making from breaking. I came back to hi for the Purity of the Throne event. Time to head out again.

I like mining with a couple Skiffs and a can chaser, I like WH diving for exotic rocks, I like building really cool ships knowing that I'll probably lose the damned things in null/lo-sec and I like just flying around, noting funny character names and listening to some really wild stuff in local. I especially like flying my Ares through bubble camps, although I have lost an Ares or two by being a bit slow, playing tourist.

I live in high sec these days, because there are more customers here, and trading is free for all, and the reds and enemies can dock in any station and buy what I sell. There is no politics blocking certain customer segment, there are more variety of customers who buy anything from T1 to meta to officer mods. There are more random interactions with other players that's not about pvp. People convo to chat up and flirt and ask if I'm a real lady, never ever happened to me in low or null, but happened to my multiple female toons when in high sec. There is false sense of security and more new bros, you see more loltastic things more frequently. It's all good fun.
