Originally by: Trinity Faetal worst idea ever, go back to high sec or set up your own gatecamps to counter pirate activity, let's see how long you can manage to go on before you start killing those mission runners yourself.
That's why lowsec never get populated. If you honestly believe this, you're a moron. However, I don't think you're a moron, which means you do realize the stupidity of your suggestion and is just trolling. Nothing wrong with trolling.
As for the original idea, it's hardly fair with the roaming god-mode concord. You might as well convert all lowsec into highsec. It might work with concord minus the god-mode (DED/faction police style). Carebears get a distress call button that calls in the non-godmode police when manually pressed. They scram pirates, apply some pressure on them and even the playingfield, giving the bear a chance, while being more interfering than lethal to the pirates. The perception of safety would draw carebears in. Lingering police presence discourages gatecamp, which would shut down system, encourages roams and fast suicide gank style piracy without the suicide. Make it so that everyone in system get free aggro when you get police aggro, and police lights up a beacon, so any half-wit vigilante can just come in and take some pot shots at you. Once that happens you get to kill him too. Potential to spice things up and escalate real fast. Blob in the making.
Instead of being bored while waiting hours at a border gate for the occasional helpless target, there will be plenty of targets wherever you turn, the only problem would be how to tackle them. Being a pirate atm sucks because it's stupidly boring, and no challenge at all when you do get someone after a long waiting period. Like shooting fish in a bucket, but there's no fish. Having a hunt in the wild with plenty of prey, but more difficulty, is far more enjoyable.
Yeah, something needs to be done. I agree with Berikath (OP) about the gatecamps/bounty hunters and Goose99 also has good input. I think CCP needs to sanction Bounty Hunters, maybe make it skill required (Bounty Hunting) with a paid temporary permit (Bounty License) that is accessed from the bounty office.
