Lets face it, nobody likes to lose a month-worth isk just because some campgaters did it for the lulz.
Yes you can fly a cheap frigate, but still you can lose your oh so beloved and valued implants!!! The only solution is, jump-clone and get into +2 implants for example. Yes and losing 3attribute points, thus skill training time??? Ha!
Im completely sure if capsules were harder to lock/destroy, much more players would like to enter low sec.
Other secondary reasons why lowsec is empty:
- Killboards, it sucks that all the community knew you been popped several times. - Low rewards (excepting 0.0) - You can do whatever business over highsec.

Every pod I've ever lost after passing 6M SP or so has been worth at least 150M worth of implants. I don't usually fly with sets of Low-grade pirate implants, but +3's and hardwirings start adding up...
Still, I enjoy the performance enhancement, and I'm pretty good at not getting podded (even in 0.0 - last time I was podded was due to a desync where my pod literally could not dock at a station and was a sitting duck as I desperately tried to dock). So I risk the ISK, but only with a very good understanding of how to safeguard it.

This is not a secondary reason, this is the PRIMARY reason, specialy when we all know how EvE is clustered by big e-peen players.

Don't lose your ship inside bubble. Duh. Bubble exists for three things:
1. Hold Supercaps.
2. Give gang time to get points on targets as they're burning out of the bubble - otherwise they'd potentially just warp away before tacklers got points.
3. Pod noobs who don't burn out of the bubble.

Cry me a river.
If you can't accept the consequences of entering lowsec, then don't come. There's a reason for that warning that pops up. You're worried about the community knowing whether or not you got popped? Seriously?
Also, it's very difficult to be podded in lowsec if you know what you're doing, so you must be ******ed.

Last time I went into Low-Sec, an Onyx blew up my budget-fit Caracal and locked down my pod. Thinking he was the boss, he demanded a 50m ISK Ransom so that I could travel 16 jumps back through low security space in my Pod.
I just told him to Pod me, as I was going back past Todaki anyway to get to Jita.
Must have been the most unsatisfactory podding ever for that asshat.
Lesson here is... Always use your "Jump Clown" in Low Sec.

Capsules are really hard to lock as it is. I have been doing pvp for 2 years now and lost loads of ships, but to this date I haven't lost a single pod.
You just have to react fast and play smart.

How the hell did your POD get caught in low sec? By an Onyx no less? You must have been sleeping or on dial-up...

First time in Low Sec, decided to have a mooch around the local 0.2 secs. Accidentally warped in on some Onyx ratting and thought "Ah hes probabl.. Man I died quick"
Back then I didn't know the "HIT WARP LIKE A MISBEHAVING ESCORT!" strategy.
Good times.

Does this really matter? It's not like the majority of players obsess over the killboards are going to actively seek you out because they see you've been killed. I doubt there's anybody that's ever ventured into lowsec or 0.0 that hasn't been killed at some point.
I'll admit I've only just started playing again (and never advanced far first time around) but if you have your clone up to date and have all your learning and advanced skills maxed do implants really make that much of a difference to training time? I can't see them trimming down training skills to V so significantly that they are absolutely necessary.

The peoplesicles make it worthwhile, always.
You can get people surprisingly often after their ship has gone pop.
The combined lag from a session change and the insurance mail is often enough.

But you're never in your implant clone. You're either in 0.0 or in a blank clone to deathclone down. ________________________________________________

LOL, I pvp with my implants, the only way you get podded is if you get trapped in a bubble, and even then. So implants are far from a reason lowsec is empty. And 0.0 is far from empty, so before you make an opinion, try going into lowsec or 0.0 first

low sec is a risky place, whether that risk is losing your shiney ship and/or your pod with said implants. It all comes down to risk/reward and experience.
Even if CCP made it that you didn't lose your implants (which would be stupid) then you would come back complaining about the months worth of isk lost through ship losses. If you want risk, then go to low sec, if you don't then stay out! It's not as if you aren't warned about low sec!

not true. it is very easy to cath a pod in lowsec. You need 2 sensor boosters in your bc. if you dont escape from your ship befour it explode. you are poded.

95% of the people who get pod killed are noobs 2% had lot of lag 2% went through rancer 1% was unlucky enough to find a smartbombing bs who killed him outside rancer.
If your pod gets locked by a dual sensor boosted battlecruiser you lost eve. ---------------------------------------------
