The problems I see with low sec I think everyone has hit on the head, not enough reward for the risk to people. I myself haven't spent that much time in low sec only only traveled through it to get where I was going. The only time I ever lost my ship in low sec was when I chased a war target into ammeke (sorry if i misspelled that) made a dumb move of trying to get my battle cruiser away from his in a warp and slugged it out with him. He won cause of my hesitation of course.
But as I look at low sec for me at least there was that there was a lot of players in these systems at any given time, which all could be a enemy to me. The stuff I did see there held no real value to me as I can get better odds in null sec and to me the idea of owning my a system and being able to do as I want with it was more appealing than trying to survive in low sec.
I'm one of those people that only has one account and on that account only one person trained (which I never get why we get 3 account slots if we cannot train em but that is a different story) So yes losing high sec status to me would be big.
Also, I have been in several corps and done it all from mining to high sec war to building and now trying to get myself into 00 warfare so I can be well rounded. From my point of view low sec seems to be more dangerous than all of it, as such it really doesn't fill the role CCP wanted to give it. I was also recruiter for some and finding people who wanted to PVP for a mining corp that didn't have null sec or war decing was hard enough for that corp. I don't know how many high sec mining corps that look into a pvp wing have success finding these or if my recruiting skills where just lacking, but that also hindered plans our corp had at trying to make it into low sec and eventually null sec.
Changes that would help;
well as people said higher rewards, but I believe that would only be a temporary fix as people will find it is just not worth it as more missioners/miners come the more pirates that will come. Also, many mission runners will be turned off the game if we moved most of the level 4's there I believe so I don't see CCP doing that.
Sec status - maybe something can be done to pit care bears vs pirates as in FW type way or something again I don't know how it would be done.
Adding concord; this might be an idea, but they would have to way weaker than there high sec counterparts. this is after all still sec space. The time from arrival would have to be long and the amount of ships low in the whole system and be destructible to give a pirate who overstayed with a target a fighting chance to get out. Pirates will hate being "on the clock" (as they only show where your battle happened not fallow you around.) low sec shouldn't be safe but I always wondered why there isn't any police in low sec as it is still race space.
I don't think bubbles and bombs in low sec is really going to help the cause much to bring people into it is just more problems for new comers to deal with.
Okay, I don't ranting feel free to flame me. I personally love PVP and maybe someday try out low sec, just not yet for me as I'm into other things ATM.
