Not entirely accurate, theres a large percentage not caring about isk and get podded to safe them 40 jumps back in a pod.
So wait this is the end of my post allready?

Implants are so ridiculously cheap now that Agents give them out that this logic fails.
4 Years ago your arugment was valid. CCP reduced the cost of implants so drastically that it is no longer true. Suck it up and take the risk.

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.
It is impossible to lose a pod in losec. When you think your about to die... click on a planet and start spamming the warp zero button. I basically live in nullsec and I really can't remember the last time I lost my pod.

Lol. I podded many (with my main) who had similar thoughts. The most lulz when noob undocks in pod to see whats going on and I pod him with smartbomb when he tries to warp out.

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...
CCP, please add this info to pod mails ;0

This.
I'd rather risk implants or not use them at all than confine myself to the dreary monotony of high-sec space.

If your pod gets locked by a dual sensor boosted battlecruiser you lost eve.

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.
Depending of the rate.
Do whatever you want in low sec, same everything stupid, you will have an history reported on Battleclinic or others anyway.
This can penalize you if you want enter in a 0.0/Low Sec Corp who do some checks. Habitually, they always ask a screenshot of the Character login and some things. I wouldn't be impressed if some of them check Killboards to see if you suck or if you are just a beginner. If for fun, you had 100 losses for 2 kills, I think that this will matter.
A Killboard is a mock tool AND an intel tool.

Well, I for one think low sec is lame just for all the random violence (except for when I'm part of the random violence), but you should always consider that you will get podded when you get asploded, so consider your implants as just another part of your ship. Just like how you switch over to cheapfleet set ups if you plan to bumb around low sec, switch to a jump clone without the pricy implants. I do the same thing when I go into wormholes because, as you so rightly point out, losing expensive as all hell implants sucks.

If you get podded in lowsec, you're doing something wrong. Or you have a crappy connection. Or both.

This. Implant losing is only an issue really when bubbles of nullsec come into play.
Even then, +4s ftw. Just use 2 at a time instead of all 5.

Implants allow you to think it's a good idea to stay in highsec and keep training for those big, expensive ships so you can win at pvp.
Then you finish it and, knowing nothing but missions, rush out to show off your big, expensive ships. Then people kill you.
Then you're allowed a ragewhine, and to run back to highsec to complain about how you can't go to lowsec because of implants.
Remember kids: It's all about getting SP that you'll never use. Sit in highsec for months so you'll be 'ready later'. (Hint: You'll still not feel ready then. Endless cycle.) |

Jump Clown = 0.1m
5% medium gun dmg hardwire = 2m
Mindlink = 2m
+1-2 implants = next to nuthing
clown replacment 8m
That's my bill for a 51m SP character, let's round that to 15m/pod,...not quite the "month-worth isk"
It seems the problem you have is that you have an adiction to skill points and ISK.. you can't bare to use +2-3's or have your head on some ones trophy room kill board.
...Just know that this problem is a YOU thing,..and does not mean every one else shares your same opinion.
In the militia I see many noobs throwing what ever isk they have into PvP and loving it.

Death-mails show that you actually know how to fight — not just farm afk newbies. That, or that you suck so much that you feel the need to hide it…

I'm ashamed that we share the same face.
Implants do not keep me from going to low sec. High sec being 100x better keeps me from going to low sec. However, I do travel through low sec a lot and never even think of changing to my +0 implant clone.
Why? Because only a complete ****** can get his pod locked in low sec. With warp spam its nearly impossible for someone who is at the controls to not warp fast. If a cruiser even gets half way through locking you, you are a failure and deserve to be podded.

To the OP:
How do you lose a pod in low sec? Except for Rancer and 0,000001% of the time in other systems its completely risk free. Only thing capable of getting you in low sec is smartbombs. I have lived in low sec with a 600 million clone for morw than 2 years now, without ever losing a pod. I really dont see how this can be an issue. It is so god damn easy to get a pod out as you can practically warp out of your exploding ship.

And what of the players that DO wait and come into low sec with much more options than a newbie and actually benefit, and... GASP, actually do some serious damage with all that SP they were patient enough to wait for? We never hear anything about them of course, its much more fun to just toss out common generalizations.
