I did a quick search and didn't see anything on this topic.
I think everyone but total crybaby carebears can agree that eve is supposed to be a dangerous place. Part of that is because destruction is a key part of the economy. You would all agree with this right?
Another part of the game is that risk, a part of which is initial investment, should equal reward. That's a fair assessment isn't it?
Unfortunately, one of the most expensive and most useful ships in the game, the T3 strategic cruiser, isn't getting destroyed enough. In high sec, they can do their job too fast, too well, and with no risk. They are hard to pin down and hard to gank. Maybe someone has hard numbers but if you wanted to suicide gank a tengu in high, how hard is it? It isn't as easy as it needs to be, I can tell you that much. So they can run missions and sites in relative safety acting as a part of the ISK faucet that is bad enough as it is. The risks don't equal the rewards and both are lower than they should be.
It's time something is done about this ISK faucet.
It's good for the game's economy if T3s were moved to low and null. It's good for the new players, they can have early successes that make them want to move on to low and null. It's good for the WH players as there will be more demand for WH goods. It's good for the T3 players: they can do better than high; even if they lose the occasional ship, they'd still be making more in the long run and providing more high end stuff for the rest of us to buy. It's also be good for low and null as it'd bring more players into those areas... that means more potential players in the CSM's corps or making things interesting for the current null residents. Maybe the T3 players will eventually band together and try to set up their own small block; camaraderie and shared experiences are good for a corp and the game.
As I see it, restricting T3s to low and null is the best thing for everyone and it should be done. It's the obvious and common sense thing to do. I really hope the CSM will bring this to CCP's attention.
EDIT: *self inflicted face palm... could someone move this to the assembly hall. I clicked on the wrong forum.
The purpose of hi sec isn't to eliminate PvP but to weed out the dumb pvpers.
