The reason lowsec is unpopulated is not due to lack of rewards. Current l5s are by far the best rewarding activity in Eve, more so than 100+m isk per hour sov null sanctum chaining in carriers. Carebears fail lowsec missions often enough that they soon lose agent access. Due to this physical (not psychological) barrier, few people will mission in low outside of FW, regardless of rewards.

Its nice to see you LP *****s get nerfed hard like you deserve.
This will be a bit of a buff for the min-max lp *****s since non-combat agents will go up in quality.
Buff to courier bots.

Actually, no. The courier agents will go down HARD in quality. Why do you think NOW courier missions pay so little LP? the missions themselves are farmed to the bone, only with the new change, the agent quality will ALSO drop down to maximum negative value.
Courier bot revenue will get nerfed :)
No it won't. Bots will just spread to different agents instead of grouped together, as the number of attractive agents in relation to each other suddenly exploded.

Umm, I'm fairly certain that the capacity for courier running will grossly overtake any positive agent balancing rather quick (i.e.: today the agent gets +1 quality, tomorow 50 courier runners farm it for a day or 2, he drops back down). Overall the quality "pool" of the courier agents will drop.
50 bots don't farm one agent for one day, and move the next. They farm 50 agents, one each, forever. There are large number of courier agents that normal missioners don't use, so there's no competition from massive number of live missioners at all. Thus, those agents get quality boost. The ones that are low quality before and avoided by bots are now high quality.

So all high sec lvl 4s will now become equally bad?
The navy and common corp ones will be, thus, huge nerf to noobs. Obscure corps who don't get ran much atm won't suffer as much.

First off, my apologies to Tippia and Shirley Serious. I shouldn't multitask when writing summaries.

The OTHER whopper though is they¦re gona abolish these annoying divisions and their probability for kill/haul/etc. missions.
In the future you¦ll be able to run for the kill mission ONLY agents, or the courier mission guys, etc.
I'm curious what they're going to do with all the socials skills. I guess they could get rid of them and reimburse the SP... but that leaves almost no reason to train Charisma.

Did they say anything about highsec agents giving lowsec missions? The reason for the mass exodus to Motsu and Irijunen on Tyrannis launch isn't because of rewards, but rather because viable agent choices dwindled. Unless boarder agents (most of l4 combat agents are within 3 jumps to lowsec) are made viable again, it'll just be a flat nerf to missioners and fail at spreading them out.

I didn't interpret it as them removing the divisions ù just the mission type spread. Thus the skills will not change, nor do they need to.
You pick a division that gives you the one mission type you want, rather than the one that has the highest chance for the mission type you want. Maybe now, those mining agents will actually give youà you knowà mining missions. 
I bet those will have the highest quality. Oh joy!
