As many that play this game know, there is an underlying issue that plagues EVE and that is that null and low sec players wish to have more high sec players join them in those areas of the game. This topic has been discussed in hundreds of threads across a wide spectrum of topics and often ends with neither side conceding ground. So the question is....

1) If you were CCP, how would you get more players involved in 0.0 space and low sec - without compromising or getting rid of high sec completely?

Or...

2) Would you just rather see high sec completely removed? If that is the case, how would you introduce new players into the harsh realities of a game where they can be ganked on sight just for joining the game?

3) If you believe that high sec, low sec and 0.0 can co-exist, what is your solution to bringing balanced game play to 0.0, low and high sec space that is amiable to all concerned?

If you could answer these questions I am sure there are people that would love to hear your answers.

I'm getting a bit tired of repeating myself, but the reason hisec people stay in hisec isn't because they fear PvP. They fear gatecamps. They die to impossible odds right at the door to the full PvP areas, without having a chance to even explore them.

If they could get in and out of full PvP areas relatively safely, then only have to worry about someone hunting them while they are there, many, many, more people would be outside of hisec.

Gates need to go, or be changed so they can't be camped. They are the core problem here. I know many people hate the idea of losing their easymode gatecamp PvP, and having to actively search for targets instead of them landing in their lap, but it's really what's best for the game.

My thought: the community is both the biggest barrier and clearest path into low and null.

If you blow up a bear that enters low sec you can either be a prick and troll the sh*t out of him for tears or you can be a bro and strike a friendly convo with him. He'll be a lot less butt hurt about his loss and be more likely to come back for another look.

Thats pretty much what happened to me way back when. I took the loss fairly well and all because old mate that blew me up was friendly in local after the fact. Even gave me a few pointers for my fit and what to do different next time.

people think that you need a quadruple warp core stabbed interdiction nullified T3 to run gatecamps

lol

i evacced some stuff from NPC geminate in a blockade runner and moved it all the way to dek, running gatecamps like a boss

and this was in bubble land not your weaksauce rancer/amamake nonsense

Nerfing High Sec will not bring more out to 0.0.

There is no way you will entice a majority of the players to come to 0.0, the game engine just can't support it.

See that's the problem with carebears. They think they are the only ones who can sit in a rorqual or a hulk or put stuff up for sale on the market. You are a liability, not an asset.

I see a lot of liers when you write low/null is friendly..... i lost some vessel in null in ammatar mandate, i lost some vessel in low caldari space !
Dont forget that the players pay their vessels.. and dont want too loose them just for your pleasure.... you are in null/low its nice why you want to force others to come. Low/null sec player think at only one thing : killboard and more its easy more they're happy !

PS: Moving content won't force people to leave because the issue isn't one of risk vs reward at all, it's 'fear of the unknown'. High sec players will just start grinding the less profitable activities instead.

Depressing that it took this long for an answer other than "Make Hi-sec suck more", but props for being the one.

I don't think this will ever happen. Why? Because kicking people in hisec is the biggest entertainment value in Eve.

Burn Jita and Hulkagddon type events are what excites people

If anything people really want more hisec ill-fitted newbs to gank

People in 0.0 want forever wars to fight with enormous fleets against people they irrationally hate.

I also said it on the first page if that helps.

Yea, I did that and got killed and podded by gate bubblers within 5 minutes as the bubble was placed on the exit of the gate...

Thank God I'm only a month old player flying in a tristan without too many implants... But eh, I garnished the killboard of 10 gankers shooting at me.

The reason For me, that i wont move to nullsec easier, is mostly related to the huge factions currently present, i dont like that there is what 3 maybe 4 choices, and most/all of those being in something called "Cluster **** Coalition"

For me to get into nullsec i would love to instead of all this to me handholding to see, a different faction in every region/sometimes even constellation.

I do like the way WHs work though, and as far as i am aware almost every WH has a different faction in them.

Unlike with nullsec, the coalition has won the game pretty much, and there is no real way to dislodge them anymore.

This alone is for someone like me the reason i dont go to nullsec.

I would dream of a my corp/alliance having sov in even a single solarsystem, without getting blobbed to death if we would ever dare to take away from CFC.

Im not an o.o player, Im one of those who CCP Soundwave wishes to push by brute force into o.o space. The way to get me to stay in the game and move to o.o space would be to let me respec all the millions and millions of skillpoints I have in science, industry mining barges and exhumers into gunnery and spaceship skills. Otherwise I am nothing but a red plus or asteroid to be farmed or harvested. I do not wish to be farmed because I invested my training time into noncombat skills.

I heard there was NPC null.....even if they do blob you just dock up and wait for them to go away.

......just like low-sec, with the volume turned up a bit.
