The problem with most carebears is they see low sec as an "I'm going to get killed instantly" zone. Most cannot be persuaded away from this mentality.
It only takes getting killed once every few dozen missions to make it not worth the effort.
Then don't get killed.
Its really not that hard.

The point is it's not worth the extra hassle of watching your back every second in low sec to do lvl 4's.
That's your opinion. I would beg to differ.
Seriously, surviving in low sec is a no-brainer.
No bubbles = easy mode survival.
welp.. a quick trip over to battleclinic shows you don't seem to know what you're talking about. thanks for posting anyway. 
i ran lo secs for my first six months or so. and i know no amount of aligning or beating on the scanner will get you through a decent gate camp. pay for a second account to scout or get a partner and make half the isk is a choice but neither is very good.
ccp has a twisted idea of what is pvp. i refuse to be pirate food !!

ever heard of a missioning alt? or how bout an indy alt (cause thats all sketch does)
yeah..nice detective work there holmes
edit: oh and as for "can't get by gatecamp"...we're not really discussing that here. We're discussing if its viable/worthwhile to run lvl 4s in low sec. Obviously your lvl 4 mission raven isn't going to make it far past the chokepoints...
Try this on for size:
1. Get blockade runner.
2. Load blockade runner with HAC + modules
3. Bypass gatecamp (NO WAY?!?!?!?!)
4. Set up in system of your choice.
5. Make bank.
Too much work for the average carebear? Probably.
Worthwhile to the people that want to have a bit of fun (yes risk can = fun) and make a tidy sum of isk? Definitely.
Back to the op: it all comes down to how much people really understand low sec. As some here have pointed out, it is definitely worthwhile to run missions in low sec over high sec if you know what you are doing and can be safe about it. Obviously setting up in the middle of Caldari FW space is probably a bad idea.
I do agree with the masses that low sec needs some more buffs/incentives and that those viceroy things/corruption mentioned at FanFest would be great and welcomed additions to low sec.
call yourself a hauler alt / mission runner alt, call yourself a potato if you like; you have the skills to fly a ship you claim is safe, and there you lose the exact type of ship in lo sec..
this is your quotes:
"Then don't get killed.
Its really not that hard."
"Seriously, surviving in low sec is a no-brainer.
No bubbles = easy mode survival."
and then you suggest getting a blockade runner with a hac inside? judging from your loss, it's not the safest way to travel.. those are two expensive ships that take a lot of skills. the destination system has no station what then?
yes we are talking about running mission in lo sec and many of those require you to travel to another system. as you said yourself:
"Obviously your lvl 4 mission raven isn't going to make it far past the chokepoints..."
ok so then what would you suggest ?

Reject these or scout your way. I reject all mission in null sec that require me to leave the system (yes I know we're talking about low sec, but same problem arises there ). Luckily there's like 4 or 5 lvl 4 agents in the same system.
this was the point i was making. the travel is just too dangerous. it seems we're finally in agreement.
