I can not believe that NC people are saying, "but what do I do they have more than I do." That is the most hypocritical statement I have ever seen, I can't even imagine how your mind can come up with that comment and say it with a straight face.
I'm in the NC, and I have access to some of the best truesec in the game - a whole constellation of it. I, and my alliance, will have such an advantage if this change comes through we'll be laughing all the way to our wallets.
But I am still opposed to this change because the desired effect (more small alliances getting access to nullsec, and more conflict) has happened already with Dominion, and will be destroyed by this change.
There have been piles of small alliances filling up space that would otherwise be emtpy if it weren't for the changes to allow upgrading systems. Those players are occupying nullsec instead of holding nullsec (for alliance moon income) and missioning in highsec. If players spend time in nullsec, it makes for more opportunities for them to be shot, otherwise people would have to explicitely wardec them and hunt them in empire (and using terrible mechanics that allow for neutral RR).
More people moving to nullsec means more targets for PvP. This is especially true for those who "just can't do anything without someone holding [their] hand".
There were piles of small alliances filling up space before the dominion changes, the difference now is that the major alliances have an interest in booting out those small alliances, and filling them with renters or pets, because that space is just as valuable as theirs. Dominion simply made it harder for smaller alliances to survive, and these changes are going back to some of those things that made it easier for them to grab some space.
The NC blueing small alliances and throwing them into random constellations is not the same thing as small alliances being able to expand out in null-sec, that is just major alliances taking what was once space not worth caring about, and giving it to renters. You guys don't rent the systems for isk, you rent the systems for bodies in fleets. Renting is renting, however you want to look at it, doesn't have to be for isk.
