Originally by: bp920091 This is yet another example of how CCP does not understand nullsec. Alliances will not change their goals, as their goals are not affected by the security class of their target system, that is more often an unintended side effect. All this change does is make the few deep 0.0 systems more valuable (which would be a good thing if it was not already settled), while turning the VAST majority of 0.0 space into desolate wasteland once again. If CCP wanted small alliances to succeed, killing the way that they can actually compete with others is not the way to do so. They are killing their way to fight large alliances as small to mid sized alliances use Anomalies to earn cash, rather than moons, as large alliances just take them for themselves.
A way that a positive change could be made, and still implementing the changes that they would like to see is improving the anomalies by security status, but not nerfing the lowsecurity areas (0.0 - -0.4). They could do this by increasing the number of faction drops even more in high security anomalies. This would still make deep 0.0 still very valuable, without killing the ability for small alliances to actually fight back against huge power-blocks.
Also, CCP could gradually improve 0.0 space (not by large amounts, but gradually), as huge areas of it would be turned into wasteland once again with this "fix".
I certainly hope CCP realized that all this change will do is increase the strength of power-blocks (something they say that they do not want to do), while reducing the ability for small alliances to actually do things (again, something they say they do not want to do).
Bp920091 has the ABSOLUTE right idea. I dont care if high end sec status gets MORE of something (let it be moons, drops, higher chances of special spawns, whatever) but DONT punish the poor. Keep the 2 sanctums and the 2 heavens, and whatever else the lower sec status have that the higher doesnt. CCP didnt take away Faction battleship blueprint drops from occuring in lower sec, but they did make it higher in the value over in the higher end sec status. CCP also didnt take officer spawns away, they made it MORE possible in higher end sec status.
So dont take the heavens and sanctums away, just give the higher end sec status MORE.
