Did a little digging and it seems what killed highsec planetary interaction (PI) profitbility was increased tax rates. That's a shame, highsec PI would make a nice passive isk generator for new players, Jove knows older players have more than enough isk faucets to draw from.

Because high sec players need more passive isk generators?  Yes I believe new players like myself should have access to some level of passive income generation that can help us to afford things like basic skill and learning implants without having to grind boring pve content for hours on end or look like an idiot by sticking an industrial in a 1.0 asteroid belt to afk mine with.
Of course being a Goon I wouldn't expect you to know what it's like starting out in this game without the help of a massive alliance backing you.

And perhaps you're too old to remember what it was like starting out, or you were like the members of some of these large nullsec alliances and had a safety net in place before you even started. Point is this can be a very tough game for the average new player to get into and we need all the help we can get, especially as people like you lobby for ever harsher nerfs to our part of the sandbox.

No safety net, no anything. After listening to fellow newbies in FNA chat, I find it hard to believe you didn't have any assistance if you knew to do what you did. With that said I'm gonna drop this because obviously we come from two very different ways of thinking and I doubt any kind of consensus can be reached. You can call me a coward all you want, but in doing so it seems like you're making assumptions about what I have and haven't done in this game so far, and from what I gather that can be a very dangerous thing to do in this community.
