Planets in W-Space give you more than 3x as much yield as planets in hisec. I assume planets in low- and nullsec have increased deposits as well. It's much more profitable to colonize low/nullsec, but also much more risky. As it should be. Risk vs. reward, that's what EVE is all about, and Tyrannis is no different.
There is no risk/reward in most of 0.0. The vast majority is a hugfest with less violence than your average hisec system. You can fly around for days in those large sprawling sovs unchallenged, which is why they've made it so you can't use planets in someone elses sov. The fantasy and the reality of risk/reward in this game don't match up. There's also very little risk in sitting on a gate in lowsec with a bunch of friends shooting fish in a barrel, or preying on poor fools in PvE fits trying to do a mission there.
CCP needs to take a good hard look at their game, and question alot of the things they believe about it. They should know by now that dropping more isk into the laps of 0.0 dwellers doesn't lure more people into 0.0, it just further entrenches those alliances already established, and makes it harder for any new ones to compete.
My deepest sympathies.

had to be worked and fought for by those who are enjoying it and finally (3) is always at risk of being crushed by someone else's hugfest.
When's the last time you heard about a new Alliance of hisec people fighting and working to claim a meaningful section of 0.0? New players and hisec dwellers can only hope to become slaves to already established Alliances. Good luck trying to raise enough funds to compete with them using L4 missions.
Also, with the obscene amount of isk thrown at 0.0 alliances, there is no real motivation for them to attack eachother aside from wanting a bigger blob on the sov map, or petty grudges.

Don't know if they're the last butą
ągoons.
They're all members of an unrelated forum, and don't have to work to create an alliance in game like everyone else.
Maybe i should quit EVE for a few years and build a website, then if it becomes popular herd everyone into the game so i have a chance. The game itself certainly provides no way to compete.

Yes it does, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to compete either.
Having an external forum and common rallying point did not suddenly give them access some mystical "sekrit pwn konsole kommandz!" that previously had only been handed out the nasty ebil powerblocks. Nor should it. They choose to organise themselves, and you can choose to do the same.
The game provides everyone with the same tools, and those are the tools everyone have to use to compete.
I think you missed my point. They appeared nearly overnight with enough players to blob pretty much anyone, and immediately started doing so in Syndicate. It's not quite the hisec underdogs success story you made it out to be.
My deepest sympathies.

In fact, everyone started out in highsec, but that is not an impediment to taking space: rallying enough numbers to do so is. The whole "onoz, poor highsec people" babble is just misdirection.
But it's no longer a matter of simple numbers, like it was with the goons starting out nearly 5 years ago now. Alliances in 0.0 have wealth hisec people can't even imagine, because they keep getting isk hurled at them every expansion, and now they're getting more. like i've already said, there's no way a hisec alliance can compete with that kind of funding, and the ability to buy and replace so many ships.
The "EVEian dream" of everyone having a chance to carve out a place in 0.0 is BS and propaganda. You've got too many wealthy and entrenched alliances who'll crush anyone that tries to take and use systems they don't plan to use. They have no regard for what's best for the EVE community as a whole, and just want their precious blob on the sov map. I had hope at one time CCP realized this flaw, but it appears, much like yourself, they just keep blaming the hisec players instead of questioning how things are set up.
My deepest sympathies.

Prof. the map of Providence begs to differ.
Isolated case. And AAA likely abandoned those systems.
