Was this considered when you applied the Nerf-Bat to half of null sec with the whole system security thing? No Havens or Sanctums in any system with a security above -.25? A few losses in and I was broke with no real income source beyond my market toon. That only goes so far, as one needs gold to breed gold. I made decent isk running the forsaken sites because they have a high chance to spawn a faction rat, but it didn't take long for others to realize this too and my income stream was terminated. Thus I went back to high sec/low sec to grind missions, and run tasty Radar sites. That was 6 months ago, and have I've not even considered going 'back' to null sec: The Land of Boredom. Go team.
Nullsec isn't guaranteed to make everyone happy. If you like empire better, that's life.
Except in the current state of the game there's almost no reason to not live in Empire, especially after the recent Agent buffs compared to all of the nullsec nerfs that were put in before you decided to buff nullsec in six months.
I completely disagree. There's less safety but also higher profits. As mentioned though, it doesn't cater to anyone. If you want to run level 4s in Motsu over anomalies, that's certainly your choice.
You're missing the point here.
Yes, its peoples choice to run level 4's in empire over anoms. But the people you've responded to are saying that they WANT to be in nullsec, they want to have some risk and excitement.
The problem is a properly skilled tengu alt will pull about the same ISK/hour whether it is running level 4 missions or doing Havens/Sanctums. However, Level 4 missions have no scarcity, can be found pretty much anywhere in space. So even if you live in space that still has high end anoms, and your main goal is to pay for your PVP habit and buy a few shiny toys, there is no incentive for the individual player to pick nullsec over empire.
This is not a NERF EMPIRE! viewpoint but I think a lot of players feel that if they can make the same amount of isk sans the risk/competing for sites/logistical difficulties, what incentive is there to stay in null?
