First off, for everyone who will accuse me of it: this is not a troll-post.
Liar, liar - pants on fire!

I believe that Eve has a problem: the various divisions of space are disconnected in terms of game play. Generally speaking, it appears that wealth flows in one direction only. It is generated in hi-sec or WH space and moves to 0.0 where it is consumed through PvP. It bypasses low-sec almost completely with the possible exception of FW. Wealth can be generated quite readily in 0.0, but it does not tend to flow back to hi-sec.
Even if your disconnection statement is true, you have not justified why it is a problem.
Go to the Markets forum and ask Akita T about moongoo & T2. I would recommend you consider the volume of that market and where the ISKies flow.
Think about ISK sources and sinks. If you nerf an ISK source (L4 hisec), what will you do to avoid a liquidity crisis?

This problem has some implications. First, it makes solo PvP extremely difficult.
No, solo PvP is difficult because a) people don't like to lose and b) God is on the side of the big battalions. That's all.

There is another issue that occurs here as well. The community is not fully integrated. Here is an example: My main is a member of a well-known (in 0.0) alliance. But does the hisec bear fear me or even know what this alliance is? Absolutely not. And, maybe this is arrogant, but they should. And likewise, big 0.0 alliances should know their carebear counterparts better.
Justify why a hisec carebear *should* fear you. Why would Eve be a better game if they did?
The reason that they do not fear you is that you are weak and scared. Should you gank them, Concord will blow you up. Should you get a bad standing with their Empire faction, the Empire faction navy will shoot you until you go away. No nullsec alliance can threaten CONCORD, nor can any blow up all of the faction Navies - ergo a lack of fear of a nullsec alliance is a logical and consistent consequence of the game mechanics.
Wanna be feared? HTFU and gank more, and take your CONCORDokken like a fan of West Coast 1980's hair metal should.

Why is this? I believe that the problem lies in the ease in which PvP can be avoided in hi-sec.
I believe the problem lies with you. But then I've got galloping pneumonia and little sympathy for my fellow man, particularly when it is beyond them to stick eight smartbombs on an insured Typhoon for some reason.
