Tell you what lets remove 0.0 sovereignty from the game, add more NPC stations to 0.0 all regions, and open up all player 0.0 stations to anyone who wants to visit . You would immediately see the 0.0 population grow.

If they are bored, why don't they leave hisec? EVE is really exciting out there, every day.

I would like to see a survey that shows for every 1,000 new players that start the game;

How many are still playing after 1 month and where are they? High , low, null?
How many are still playing after 2 months? etc...
How many after 3 months?
How many after 6 months?
How many after 9 months?
How many after 1 year?
How many after 2 years?


Get a handle on turn over rate?

Rest of the game is already several magnitudes more interesting. There is nothing in hisec that could keep a normal person interested for more than a month.

We already know the turn over rate is high. EVE is a niche game & being anything but would turn it in to something else completely.

For better or worst?

I'm inclined to think some major changes to game mechanics would make it a lot better place for real pvp fans better place for industrial fans and a much better place for PVE fans.

However you will never ever get the old rabble population incapable to adapt to those changes, they will not accept easy ganking changes, they will not accept you have to pay one year sub with real money before you can pay with plex (because easy biomass gank alts would suffer) and they will certainly not accept high sec interdiction under -5 SS.

They just can't adapt and make a better game for everyone. They live in the past of an Eve that has nothing to do with the one they new back in time, changes are good for others the moment they don't get their tralala touch, if they do they will simply quit.

Ganking has been changed many times already, more than any other singular activity.

We've adapted every single time, you have not.

Not more than any other activity and only proves previous changes were badly implemented.



Yes tell me how difficult and tedious it is to circumvent rules that only restrain other players play style but never yours.

Also tell us all how elite you are in null/low sec at the point you are bored like that

The only rule in regard to suicide ganking is that you can't recycle alts to avoid the sec penalties.

You can, yo know it and you do it

Level 4's would then make a better investment due to risk vs reward. The game is ran by things blowing up. Without destruction (as noted during CCP's EVE FEST 2012) the cogs won't turn in the world of eve.

Low-Sec doesn't have a current purpose other than being there. Creating a reason to be there gives low* sec a purpose. There's still safety of Local chat and no Warp disruptions. Thus "Learn to Play" instead of your safety net of High Sec where
trading should be the main purpose.

"CCP making progress to a better EVE"

ROFLMAO!!!!

We've seen incursions get nerfed.
We've seen the drone goop nerf.
Inferno is leading up to a good hit, but the one that would knock it out of the park to making EVE a true sensation would be sending all Level 4's to Low-sec.

This would indeed make things better :)

It's not new content, it's called balancing.

Because said survey was obviously completed by every single player.

You can't force someone to do what they don't want to do, for some is pve in low/null.
Others will claim and cry oceans of tears if you force them to pvp in low/null they'll leave, but it's only because high sec grieffing is safer for them, if you force them to only wardec of faction warfare they will also leave.

So why don't we start pushing to low/null players that already claim to luv peeveepee or force them to join faction warfare?

There is but you just can't understand or even try it.

Simple, start a new toon from the scratch, don't ever transfer isk or whatever, start really from the scratch. Then come back telling again you've done everything in high sec in one month and I'll tell you it's a lie.

I need l4 isk so I can PvP. Running l3s for isk is just not worthwhile. Also, someone mentioned dynamic agents where they reduce payouts and stuff? Seriously, why are you guys so worried about hisec? Hisec is fine. Run along now.

No, because CCP - as any other company - makes surveys in order to know his customers opinions. And the players that did not want to spend some minutes to answer the survey will have nothing to complain about if their opinion is not taken in consideration by CCP.

Simply not going to happen because a recent offical survey issued by CCP has made clear that only 25% of players are interested in pvp.

So - call it ragequit, or call it another way - CCP is simply not cutting incomes just to please 1/4 of their player base

This.
Also to incentive low sec activity, you need to add new content to actually hook people interest to get in there.
Not taking one content and taking to low sec.
Adding new ships that stuffs comes from Low sec?(just throwing random ideas)

A lot of people run multi-billion isk ships and your mentally challenged if you think they would take them anywhere near low-sec.

What you would see is unprobable tengus flying all over low-sec so you would have to QQ about that.

>Implying you would invest that many skillpoints into a prober to find a missions runner when he is just going to warp away when he sees the probe because he is almost unprobeable.
