How long have you been playing?
About 5 years with some breaks
Have you ever been in low sec?
Often, lived in lowsec placid for about half my time in game, until the scanning changes
Do you run missions or complexes in low sec?
Used to, don't bother these days
If so, what is the appeal for you?
If not, why not?
Accepting the point about Tengu, because taking even a moderately expensive BS into lowsec when I can be scanned out rather quickly doesnt equate, for me personally, to good risk/reward, I would rahter do more missions but in a safer environment to balance reward, it;s not as if the missions are better, they are the same just with better rewards, better/ineresting rewards or missions might persuade me
Are rewards in low sec in line with the risk?
Exploration can be ok, and ratting is ok, if you can find some decent quiet systems, mining and missions for me personally are not worth it, though I have ninja mined in a cruiser a very long time ago :)
Is the risk in low sec over-stated?
probably not, it;s not instnt death or anything but it demands a lot more savvy and skill than high sec, obviously, I liked the added risk when I lived there, and maybe once lost a ship at a gate, but it was ok, scanning changes whilst correct from a game perspetive, did cause me to leave, but thats was a risk/reward thing rather than an enjoyment thing per se.
Would education from savvy players about how to mitigate risk in low sec encourage folks who didn't just want to AFK L4's to operate there?
That time would probably be better spent in preping peeps for 0.0
What is the number one change to low sec that would cause you to considering doing missions and complexes there? (Be realistic! "Kick the pirates out!" is humorous but not realistic. Smile)
Maybe more "tengu-like" items to rebalance my ability to avoid being scanned down vs the relative ease of scanning me out. More exploration sites, maybe just stick all static content into exploration sites so work is required to both get reward but also to catch anyone
Do you believe it is possible to make low sec changes that would allow both pirates and carebears to co-exist profitably without crippling either's play style to extinction? Why or why not?
Is there actually still profit in lowsec piracy ? - I suppose there must be but progressive changes have reduced both carebear and PVP population in my view. I would have thought some out of the box thinking is required, to create something wholly new which makes lowsec as different from high sec as 0.0 is, something unique to get you in there, misions arent it.
