This will happen. Probably in the next year or less. Here is why.
If you look at todays influence map you will realize that its pretty much Goonswarm and Pets with some pockets of resistance. Well Ladies and Gentleman, Its about to become all blue from east to west, from north to south. At the current rate of expansion the southern pets will be pushing up to Solar space while the northern pets, with the 50 token GSF pilots in fleet, will push through to Geminate. This will leave just Goonswarm + pets in the north, Goonswarm Pet and PL meatshield TEST in the south and Solar in the east. Since TEST is still Blue to GoonSwarm Federation MK III this will create the "Sea of Blue" or "No targets left except in empire".
Lately TEST has been doing the Goon "MiniLuv' freighter ganks in the south. When asked about it, it was said that "empire pubbies sorta fight back" and "we really dont do much except blob a system to death and get no fights". The Ice interdiction, Hulkageddon and the Burn Jita events were to give Goon+Pets targets to shoot at. With the coming of the "Age of Blue" their efforts are going to be focused on Empire, where most of the player base lives.
Now you might be saying "Why would Goonswarm care about Empire when all they say is 'Empire is for pubbies, Null Sec is the only way to play EvE Online'", The reason is because they will not have anything to do in null sec except be carebears. Which they pretty much are. They are pretty much being forced to fight for Vale of the Silent even when most of Goonswarm is ratting in Deklien and laughing at their pets taking space and moons and not getting anything in return.
Since this is a "Sandbox" game, CCP will not do anything to limit the size of Blue Lists or numbers of people in alliances. WIth the war dec mechanics in place it is so expensive to war dec any of the bigger alliances you just end up being a sitting target. With the amount of people under the GoonSwarm umbrella they can Gank you all day long and you cant really do anything about it. Except to stay docked or not log in. Which is how the Goonswarm tactic works.
In closing,
Eve is dieing and will be a ghost universe in the near future. |

Heck, there's no such thing as over-nerfing ganking, since you can still gank in Jita. More ... drastic ... steps may be required. Those who cannot adapt become victims of Evolugalbugaslugakjlwsdhvbzxd Click for old school EVE Portraits: http://jadeconstantine.web44.net/Maison.htm |

Yeah, those big bad guys in 0.0 are going to totally show hisec what's what.

Good. If the goons can blue all of null maybe having every other developer and gaming magazine pointing and laughing at CCPs mis-management of their game will compel them to make space people actually want.
Godspeed goons.

0.0 still won't matter to the majority of players who live in hisec, so it won't really hurt the game that much. But i do agree it might force the devs to take a good hard look at things.
What you will see with all of 0.0 blue, is them having no one to screw with but hisec, which is how things have been developing already. "It's no use crying over spilt milk, because all the forces of the universe were bent on spilling it." ~William Maugham |

you think goons and friends won't reset each other just for ***** and giggles.
i'll wager they will. Reading my posts is like panning for gold; most it will be useless, but occasionally you'll find a nugget of gold. |

wat? lets say "highsec burns" how long can that last? if every null alliance decides to gank all the highsec... then what. what happens when we run out of ships? do we stop? if so, is it hard to believe mining could become 100% no joke the best isk/hour ratio for income, wouldn't trit and pyerite be over 10/20 isk each?
this is probably the 3rd time since I started eve that "insert coalition here" will take over nullsec and never be stopped.
also, I know people don't understand this, but CFC and HBC are not blue to each other, last I checked it is ONLY test and ONLY GSF that are blue to each other, this means anyone else in the HBC can be killed by goons, and anyone else in CFC can be killed by test.
also, it is always possible the new gypsy coalition will become a new super power, so many things happen in null one minute you can be the most powerful alliance, the next you can forget to pay the sov bill.

Whilst I don't hold to the same view as OP as to the future of the game, his post does seem to ask (reading between the lines) the following question ...
Is high sec the obvious home of emergent gameplay?

Goons and Test alliance please ignore cant even burn jita more than 2 day long, in fact jita burn was nice event but they give up probably because no more of free Tornados or somthing like this, most of goonswarm cant even enter empire space, because of wardec, most ship they use in empire are shutles, fast travel ship and indy with cloaks.

The one thing you forgot to factor into your blue sea hypothesis is you assumed that people will get bored and leave because of no fights.
All it takes is one bored FC to take a slightly too large roam to Dek, or two alliances racing to tower a previously unknown moon, or one completely over-the-top atomic supernova of a "yo mamma so fat" competition to restart the wheels of reset. |

Godspeed goons.
That's my take on it as well. I get really happy when these extremes are reached, in any game, because it really makes the problem stand out. I recently finished my stint in Guild Wars 2, and PvP there is hilarious right now - 90% of most teams is just 2 classes. But that's the only way to get the developers to pay attention. When the game breaks down completely like that, you have to take action or see people quit out of boredom because you can only play the same match so many times before you start contemplating jumping out the window...even if you are on the ground floor. |
