It seems like many of the pirates have not learned that just because you can doesn't mean you should. Low sec has been over hunted and now people avoid it because there is very little chance of being left alone unless your in a bigger/ better ship or in a fleet.
The other side of things is exactly what CCP intended, let the game mechanics allow for players to make their own content. Players choosing to pirate in low sec and created the 'content' that is now there. I could be like null sec with weaker rats and no sov if the players in low sec systems want it that way. I comes back to 'Just because you can, doesnt mean you should'.
Since they do, the consequences are that there are no targets left, people avoid low sec systems. The pirates have no one to complain to, its the content they created for themselves. |

Some interesting comments from posters above you though, will reply when I am at home and not on my phone.
What makes you think I have no experience on this subject? We both agree that lowsec is underpopulated. I am just offering another plausible reason as to why. This doe's not invalidate the reasons you stated above. I think it would support your reasons why lowsec is underpopulated.
The pirates in many lowsec systems shoot any almost everything that comes through, this makes people NOT want to go there unless they are looking for a fight. Thats all well and good, but as you said before, its not reasonable to try and make a living in lowsec due to the risk / reward ratio being more out of balance than null sec.
P.S. I have been playing for almost 5 years. And of course this an alt just for forum posting... The forums are almost as dangerous as lowsec. |

Its true that avoiding combat is relatively easy anywhere. I don't remember seeing what you have said about the earning potential vs risk in this thread, so it may have been another one. I am interested in what you did say about it though. |

Simi, Good post.
It seems that CCP has a balance problem with the 'safety' of highsec / ISK earning. vs lowsec/ISK earning. It is too bad that CPP really has not added any tools for player created content in lowsec. The concept of social engineering to get people to move to lowsec is largely missed. It is needed. It seems that there is little incentive for competition of the lowsec resources.
Looks like there is one simple question: Are there any resources that are unique to lowsec that would make people want to go there and fight for that resource? |
