Remove cynos from lowsec and it will stop the hot dropping in lowsec. It will also cut down on the insane power projection that super mega alliances cling to.
Beef up station and gate sentry guns. In their current state they're easily tankable and a joke. If you want highsec players to even step foot into lowsec, you need to let them enter without getting WTFINSTAKILLED after jumping in. Going from gate to gate or gate to station will be relatively safe (obviously not as safe as highsec) but belts and sites remain unchanged and just as dangerous.
Lower the NPC tax on PI. Currently highsec dwellers pay 11% whereas lowsec dwellers pay 17% and up. That doesn't make any sense and only discourages players from going to lowsec.
Beef up PI yields to be better than highsec.
Overhaul the belts in lowsec so they're better than highsec but not better than nullsec. As it is now, there's almost no legitimate reason to go mining in lowsec since the same asteroids are found in highsec.
More stations. Most of lowsec has no stations. The systems that do are typically infested with player pirates.
And that's about all the changes I believe are necessary to revive lowsec.

If you want more ppl in losec make all empire losec job done
Dismissive that quickly? Did you even read it or did you simply read the first couple of words, assume it's about dumbing down EvE, then hastily vomited up your opinion? Cause I'm thinking the latter.
Look, putting your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes and chanting loudly that carebears should stay out won't fix lowsec. There are fundamental things wrong with lowsec which is barring most of EvE from going there. If CCP really wants players to go to lowsec, they're going to have to make it appealing to all players, not just pirates.
We need traders industrialists and miners out there doing their thing. They in turn need protection by corpmates who are PvP savvy. Suddenly you have entire corporations willing and able to take those risks you "pvp types" rattle on so much about.
In other words, corporations need a good reason to live out there. Currently it's either FW, piracy or anti piracy. That's it. Lowsec pirates are always complaining about how there's nobody left to shoot at, yet they berate any notion of attracting the "carebear" corporations? Ridiculous. Bring the corporations out there and I guarantee yarr and anti-yarr will become far more common place.
At the very least, try to provide constructive feedback and ideas on improving lowsec as I have.

I disagree with nerfing anything in highsec.
Nerfing highsec will not make lowsec any less crappy. Lowsec will still have all the same problems as before since nothing is getting changed. You can't use the stick to drive players in a direction you intend. That almost never works. If highsec is nerfed, highsec dwellers won't say "Well gee, my favorite area of space got nerfed. I think I'll just move to an even crappier place".
There's a damn good reason why most players prefer to live in highsec rather than low or null. It's got less to do with profit and more to do with the terrible design of low and null. Nerfing highsec won't create an exodus to low or null. If anything it'll create an exodus to the account management page.
