How long have you been playing?
A year and a half.
Have you ever been in low sec?
Yes, running missions, running gangs with mates.
Do you run missions or complexes in low sec?
Only a couple of times.
If so, what is the appeal for you?
Because I got bored with high-sec missions and want some adrenaline.
Are rewards in low sec in line with the risk?
Nope
Is the risk in low sec over-stated?
Well, it depend on which system you are talking about.
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?
I dont think so, ppl are doing L4 because they provide a risk-free income. If they want lols and tears they would go to low-sec in a PvP ship instead of a mission-running ship. What a sane person would do at the moment is to using mission-runing ships in high-sec and PvP ship in low-sec, not the other way round.
What is the number one change to low sec that would cause you to considering doing missions and complexes there?
I dont think missions in low-sec is realistic in the first place. Missioning has always been treated as a high-sec risk-free activity. Instead, give low-sec a unique resource/aspect that missioning cannot provide, and people will actually fight over it despite the risk.
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?
I think carebears dosent belong to low-sec. EvE has a high-sec and a low-sec so that it suits different people. I think lvl4 missions needs a slight nerf to about 80% of their current rewards, but unfortunately that wont go down well with a lot of players, and that will not boost low-sec significantly. Just like I've said, low-sec need something unique and different.
All discussion and ideas on this topic are welcome. Having been a low sec pirate for so long, I see low sec in a very different, far less threatening light than high sec folks. I am therefore unable to view it from their perspective; the point of this thread is to understand that better. I believe such understanding is critical--particularly if I get elected to CSM5--to being able to assess low sec proposals in Assembly Hall in the context of the overall game and champion those which would help push low sec in the direction I envision.
I concur. If you are in a pvp-fitted ship, with some friends around, then low-sec isnt that scary at all, in fact, you are the hunter, and most other travellers will be scared of you. The problem is, that it will be a totally different story if you are not in a PvP-fitted ship. Most people dont mind being the hunter, but most people dont want to be the hunted.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
You're welcome and best of luck.
