actually, most nullsec corps would rather recruit a willing newbie in a rifter who wants to learn about PvP than some risk-averse kdr bear in a proteus who will warp off the second anything remotely threatening shows up
so no, nobody in nullsec wants you eh |

ROFL
Double rofl @ me agreeing with a Goon :) .
To the OP, NO, HELL NO, let the entitled high sec crowd stay where they are, Null sec is best with people who want to be there and who (generally) want to fight.
I don't care that people want to solo this or casual that in high sec, hiding in npc corps and such. To each his own.
I just hate the whinning they do, the entitled belief that they should be able to affect MY game experiance (by dumping their LP, minerals, incursions isk) but get mad when people do the same to them by ganking them or killing the mothership lol. I despise people who think the world should cater to them and them alone.
Which is why I (one of the most anti-goon people who has ever played) say GO GOONS on this one. Make them "HighBears" cry/short out their mysteriously stained (because of fapping) keyboards.

So if I am a hi-sec carebear perfectly happy mining and idustrializing, and I'm happy with the income it provides me, tell me what incentive I have to go somewhere that I can get more readily shot up. I don't whine or ask for more protection in high-sec, I understand that being ganked is part of the game, I'm just asking what it is that a null-sec alliance can offer me that I should go out of my way for them. |

I can't wait to join Goonswarms! They seem so friendly and helpful.
Goons are totes friendly and helpful to their new corp members.

Didn't they nerf incursion quite hard now? I bet 70% of the playerbase are still in hi sec and half of them are 0.0 alts. For some reason they are still in hi sec despite incursions are not so good any more.
The comic aspect of all of this is that this whole argument looks like coutryside folks slinging at city dwellers and vice versa.

Highsec currently seems to offer me several advantages to null off the top of my head:
1.Ease of travel without having to use scouts/intel channels 2.Access to market hubs providing just about anything needed with relative convenience and lower costs compared to null (when last I was there) 3.The ability to dabble in various occupations easily, partially facilitated by market hub access to allow for quick access to any materials needed 4.People trying to kill me for being in a system that they consider their territory is the rare exception rather than the norm when traveling away from "home" 5.Reduced need to stop what I'm doing and dock up/POS up due to people entering local 6.I have little to no interest in voluntarily engaging in PvP
For someone who plays as casually and unfocused as I do, I doubt I'd be a terribly useful asset to any null organization. Additionally if null holds no benefits for me how would going there be anything like "getting with the program." If any of these is based on some sort of misconception, please feel free to inform me. |

Finish the thought:
"Every types of space deserves good game play, but some types of space deserve better resources because of the Risk/Reward nature of the game".
Because EVE is divided by security status, those who venture out and expose themselves to more risk (and more headaches, living in null isn't nearly as easy as living in high sec) should have a better time overall than people who cower in relative safety/convinience.

None at all, by all means enjoy the game.....
........as long as you accept the consequences of your choice and don't whine about it (those consequences including the possibility of being ganked, making less profit than other sectors of space, and not being able to partake in the best content the game has to offer), people like you and people like me have no conflict.

My post never addressed any specific activity in highsec. Though, those profiting most from incursions, both pre and post nerf, and making the broken levels of income are anything but casual players. This is not to say that I believe incursions weren't imbalanced income wise. |

This is revealing, and explains what at first seemed to be irrational hatred for people playing in High Sec.
Somebody can't stand the though that someone else might be having more fun. Or at least too much fun.
There are a couple pathologies that involve that kind of thinking. Not that this would be diagnostic of course.

You're simply incorrect (probably blinded by your own biased posistions on the matter).
My motto is live and let live. I don't CARE what others do as long as they play by the rules and aren't hacking lol.
If a person want to solo mine in high sec, no skin off my back, I am NOT in the "push people to low sec" crowd.
However, i find it stupid that people can't understand that their choices have consequences.
I choose to go to nul sec, to put up with corp and alliance politics, to sometimes have to pvp to help my buddies when I might rather just blitz anoms and watch nice wallet ticks.
I choose to have to insall TS3 and Jabber and all that noise, i understand that by making choices, I lose out on other things.
And I don't complain, because they were MY choices. And because I and others like me made those choices, we should reap the additional rewards of the game, over and above those offered to people who choose otherwise (as is their right).
But you high sec players CHOOSE relative safety, relative convienience and to avoid the (political and logistical) headaches of null. That's fine, as long as you accept the downsides of the choice as well and don't come here complaining that ccp denies you the physical impossiblitiy of possessing cake and consuming it at the same time...... |

Saying group A should move out of the part of the game they personally find fun and into group B's 'game' just because group B enjoys it more is like a highsec mission runner suggesting Rooks and Kings should move into highsec because the mission runner finds rescuing the Damsel 500 times to be great fun.

This is called "reading what you want into something".
I never mentioned pvp. By content I mean everything (I guess pvp can be included). I'm talking plexes,, things like incursions, isk making oppurtunites ect ect.
If you accept that things like isk making (and "power mining in hulks") should be less available and less profitible the safer the space, we have no arguement.
I don't want people to pvp if they don't want to, understanding still that this is a pvp game and pvp should not be totally unavoidable.

Resources have literally nothing to do with quality of gameplay and no type of space deserves to have better gameplay than any other type of space. Regardless of where you are in EVE the game should still be fun to play.
And by fun I mean filled with endless violence and hatred and people shouting at you via VOIP software with a dog barking in the background and maybe a child screaming.
If there is a "but" the but would be that gameplay does not have to be the same in every type of space. |

I don't want people to pvp if they don't want to, understanding still that this is a pvp game and pvp should not be totally unavoidable. The issue with the statement is that it becomes subjective when considering what people regard as the best content, especially when this game counts player interaction as part of that content. That being the case, market access could be considered better content by some than 10/10 DED complexes, baiting mission runners better than nullsec roaming, or hulkageddon more entertaining than a SOV bash. It has nothing to do with PvP vs PvE as you said, but calling null "the best content the game has to offer" is subjective and for those who choose to live in high, probably a false statement. |
