-1.0 true sec space is fine, -0.01 not. In general ccp should make all high true sec 0.0 better.

Right problem, wrong solution.

ISK inflation in the game is already a huge problem - while I agree that L4 highsec missions paying more than 0.0 ratting doesn't make sense on the risk-reward scale, this is not the answer.

Nerf missions - don't boost ratting.

As someone who makes most a lot of money ratting in 0.0, I'd say NO to this idea but I have a counter proposal:

Currently, the faction spawn distribution is slanted heavily in favor of those people who spawn belts right after DT. In general, my experience shows that I get AT LEAST 30% (now maybe 60%) more commander and officer spawns when I search belts after DT than I do when I farm hours later

Fix to income distribution to be independent of time zones and you will see a more profitable 0.0 - from point of view of regular people.
To achieve this, CCP would need to add a special flag in the spawn generation code, that if it is the very first spawn after server reboot, then it will never be a faction spawn. Faction spawn would only have a chance of appearing if you, or someone else, has killed at least 1 default spawn.

However, since eliminating faction spawn chance from first spawn after dt would significantly reduce to overall rate of finding commanders/officers, the default random algorithm should be adjusted to increase the chances of getting faction spawns. In my estimate, the chances would need to be upped by about 20%.

i have always been of the opinion that nerfing highsec missions would simply cause a cancelled subscription problem for CCP. i've always been under the impression that many people are not willing to take assets to lowsec or 0.0 for any reason, and that the solution for balancing is to increase the rewards of low/0sec while leaving highsec untouched.

i do think that changing 0.0 ratting will have a big impact on the game but i think that it needs to be looked at for the sake of casual players who tend to use this resource more then anyone else.

I agree that plainly nerfing mission running isn't the right way either.
I just think that there are no quick and easy fixes and everything will have to be looked at since it all connects.
For simplicities sake lets assume we add more module drops to ratting in 0.0, how does that in turn affect mining profitability?
So just boosting ratting is in my opinion a bit to simple as it can have serious effects to either inflation (making the boost worthless) or other professions (increasing the mineral supply from module reprocessing).
It is a hard balance which means it doesn't have simple sollutions.

I disagree.

Most zero sec dwellers are bigger carebears then their high sec counterparts. Zero sec is just a big money making machine. Now if local was removed from zero sec, I could imagine up'ing profits, but as it stands, most people just log when hostiles enter local.
