Have you ever been in low sec?
Yeah.

Do you run missions or complexes in low sec?
From time to time, mostly helping corp mates out. I'm not to bad at plex tanking since I done most of them at least once and know the triggers/tactics. I for myself prefer the Encounters that the onboard scanner gives, since It don't requires a PVE fit, standings, preparations, effort or going back there if you don't have the time or estimate a hostile there. In general I would like more dynamic PVE content over static mission stuff since it fits better in the dynamic concept of low sec.

Are rewards in low sec in line with the risk?
Unfortunately no.

Is the risk in low sec over-stated?
Yes, most parts of low sec are pretty empty, so it is not to hard to find a quiet spot to do your thing.

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.  )
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?
Depends what you define as carebear, if you not ready to risk ships and start to watch your back, probably not. If you are ready for this on the other hand it is not to complicated.
In general make PVE in low sec less static, like good belt drops and tons of fast to play encounters so you can switch systems and keep yourself mobile. Agent missions have a very big drawback, people know where you will be and that you need to come back to finish stuff there or take a penalty for not doing so.
Boost Encounters:
- better rats, better faction drop chance, faster respawns
- doable PVP fitted, be able to MWD around, not insane DPS amounts to tank, doable with the generic short range fits on most Cruiser\BCs\BS
- doable solo in 10-20 Minutes with 7-8 M ISK reward in bounties like the ones we got in 0.2 and below
Boost Belts:
- add a unique resource to low sec belts, like special tags from the NPCs that can be traded for faction stuff in new LP stores, in general give people a reason to rat in the belts without the need of chaining the hole system
- equalize 0.1 belt rats/ore with the rest, since the risk you take in 0.4 is most of the time higher in the boarder systems
