In fact, only about 1/4 of all players are interested in the pvp aspects of the game.
This is unacceptable. We obviously aren't trying hard enough to force them into lo sec.
Time to step up the ganking. They resist, but once they lose some hulks and are forced down they'll enjoy the game.
your a fail
'ganking' a unarmed ship isn't pvp, thats bvp('bitches' vs Player) Most people embrace GOOD change Parasites embrace BAD change

I'll post the same tired thing I post in all of these threads that try and convince everyone to move to null and join an alliance. I am a purely industrial character. I make plenty of ISK working in highsec and a little in lowsec, with little risk. I do not whine, or get upset when I get ganked, nor do I ask for any additional protection, I realize it is part of the game. I do not have more than 30 minutes to an hour of time each day to play Eve. I also do not have the patience to sit around waiting for people to get organized in order to do anything. I also have little to no desire to be told what to do by anyone else in a video game. With all that being said, I am completely willing to contribute to the overall goals of whatever particular alliance, assuming they have something to offer me in return for my services. So tell me, what use do you have for me, and what can you offer me in return for me moving to null and joining your alliance? |

Getting people to do what is wanted can be accomplished 2 ways.
Make them by force.
Make them by desire.
Solutions to your problems lie in the above methods, option 2 would be the more time consuming method but the long term gain is greater. |

We're not trying to convince you to join anyone. We are just pointing out that one way to avoid the issue of suicide ganking entirely is to move to low/null.
There are other ways to adapt to HAG as well. People usually yell at me when I post them. It hurts my feelings when I get yelled at for being helpful. This is EVE. -á Everybody Versus Everybody. |

Manufacturing, Invention, Market and Contracts are all PvP avenues. Just because they don't directly involve blowing things up doesn't make them any less PvP. Some people get their jollies out of maximising profit ratio in a competitive market environment (it's the spreadsheeter's equivalent of "killboard efficiency").
What is needed GÇö in order to get more hisec folks to low/null GÇö is more reporting of just how much fun null sec is, pointing out the industrial competition that exists, and even some feel good stories about how industrialists have "made it" in null sec. You want to lure people to null sec, not attempt to push them. If you try pushing them, they'll just go play a different game.

Except for maybe supercapital (and normal capital I guess) you may have heard there isn't all that much production in nullsec. Other than moon mining and PI...
But if you like having your investments kicked over, you might try building supercapitals in Cobalt Edge, I hear their CSAAs get burned down regularly. Business risk, you know ~ Those who cannot adapt become victims of Evolugalbugaslugakjlwsdhvbzxd |

That wasn't a statement about mechanics or PVE vs. PVP. That was a statement about the prevailing attitude of null-sec players. I really could care less about e-peen measurements and the internet tough guy crap. I also have no interest in dedicating my life to EVE, no matter how good the game is.
I prefer spend the majority of my time in reality, and my leisure time in EVE. That's why I don't belong in null. Dolt, huh? Well, since I'm obviously so foolish it would be silly for me to point out all the casual gamers who successfully play the game in null-sec. You don't belong in null because you decided you don't belong in null. Your "reasoning" is an excuse or a justification, nothing more.
I had my main in empire, 2 characters in null and one in low sec. By my reasoning everyone in nullsec really lives in empire.

I bet if CCP were to really do something about adding WiS and more PvE elements, this games subs would go through the roof. Yep, but it wouldn't be EVE anymore. And I wouldn't be playing it.

Anybody with more than a schoolkid's grasp of language knows that sarcasm doesn't carry very well in text. Famous dodge that one, "I was being sarcastic lol".
Sincere responses to some dimwitted troll can be more insightful and entertaining than the best sarcasm, because sarcasm is for faceless anonymous letter-writers who don't own what they express.
So yeah, carry on little coprophagous goblins.
