I have built my entire EVE Piracy career centred around a 2/10 in lowsec, five years of some of the most fun and rewarding PvP in this sandbox game of yours.
Traps, counter traps, log ons & log offskis, mass brawls and epic 1v1s.
Russian ISK farmers, Chinese ISK farmers, PvPers, Pirates, newbies, lowbies, nullsec warriors, carebears and everything in between have come to them to seek their fortune, in these bastions of small ship PvP.
As has been said, entire communities have sprung up, using the sandbox tools you gave us to make our universe rock... And now you want to take it away?

Would CCP please grace us with an answer to this question: why would you decide to do this without releasing it in a devblog? Because this is actually quite a big deal. |

Still no reply from CCP, I realise they may be busy breaking code with a patch but it would be nice to get a reply, positive or negative, but just ignoring something is rude and counter intuitive to good customer relations.
This may not be a big issue to most of eve but those of us who live for small scale fun PvP this is a massive issue, and a particularly game breaking one.
The lowsec plexes aren't farmed for a reason, because they are policed by players (anyone who has read my blog will know I despise farmers and have made it my personal vendetta to expel farmers from my plex)
One question to be answered too, will the 1/1 and 2/10 Exploration plexes replace the more lucrative 3/ 4/ and 5/ in lowsec? Because if so you've just boned lowsec even further.

Thank you for understanding that the miniscule amounts of isk generated by static 1/10 and 2/10 plexes is a drop in the bucket compared to that generated by alt FW isk farmers in weaponless stabbed merlins, and that entire communities have evolved around them.
Oh, wait, never mind. You didnt.
For great justice...
I'm struggling to write a blog obituary for the death of frigate PvP in Gusandall on an official CCP fan site

What's it going to take to get some feedback from CCP?
I for one will be hounding devs on their twitter accounts.

Sorry that this isn't very satisfying (I can't really comment on the decision myself as I am not a designer and just got back from a long vacation myself so still getting up to speed) but I am sure someone will pick this up when they return in the New Year.
EDIT: By the way I appreciate that this thread has been going on since the 30th Nov. I don't have an answer for why it hasn't been picked up before, so let's just look forward to it getting addressed as soon as we are able to. Thank you for saying something. We were getting close to going full Yarr from frustration over feeling fully ignored. Thread is here to stay. Yup, I have it bookmarked, it'll get forwarded to relevant folk when they reappear.
As I said on Twitter, Thank you :)

Off the top of my head and in no way serious... To access the loot you need full tackle, scram/disruptor and web.
Warping into he site with a cloak fitted drops you into a random wormhole, spending longer than fifteen minutes in the site spawns a full concord insta scram/web/jam response force for each player ship in the site.
I like the idea of the site impacting your sec status but would very much like for the sites to be static, restore the watering hole aspect we all love

"Hey guys, instead of making our lowsec/anysec PvE content more interesting as it seems people would rather fight at these sites than run them, how about we just remove them? That way we don't have to do any work..."
Is what this sounds like.
Like someone already mentioned, to eliminate all farming and some of the biggest culprits, remove mining and missions... And moon minerals... Or, create PvE content that's not easily farmed by using suggestions from players, some quite good ones in this here thread.
Now I understand y'all have a tough job and everything, and we are a bunch of whiny players, but really, it didn't even get mentioned other than in the patch notes, so how come it was such a big issue if y'all didn't even care enough to mention it, even in passing?
Meh.

To be honest guys, I think we're beating a dead horse here.
CCP don't care as we are a small demographic, their PvE content is so bad they would rather hide it than let the players take it and make it interesting via PvP. Kind of defeats the whole sandbox concept that eve and CCP were famous for.
While farming has always been a problem and I agree that highsec static plexes were not the smartest idea, lowsec plexes were controlled via the players who had the tools available to deal with farmers. Anyone who tried to farm the gusandall plex can tell you, they learnt a lesson in a very violent fashion, but of course CCP won't include that into their 'metrics'
I'm not even upset anymore, just very disappointed.

Welcome to EVE, where you can be anything you want to be, but only what we say you can be and as long as it fits with our metrics, which much like our logs, show nothing.

I don't think I would have to convince anyone that the unrated plexes in low sec have spawn/escalation rates about as good as the anomalies and have been that way for a while. If you doubt me run a string of provisional outposts and let me know what ya get...now run a string of 5-6/10s. Now I understand the metrics. Predatory marketing at its finest....good job CCP! I'm sure your vets will never notice this type of stuff when you post reasons for feature removals that make absolutely no sense.
Ooh, on the plus side, at least they stopped 2/10 plex farming

Plenty of solutions and ideas in this thread, not enough CCP.
There's a lot of good reading, if anyone cares enough, I'm losing hope.

Had a very depressing convo with Sard Caid a night or so back. Thank you CCP for destroying a vibrant and exciting PvP community and not even giving us the courtesy of a reach around. Even poking devs on twitter doesn't seem to be working no more.

Two months after the thread was started... I'd say that is a big no Volstruis.
I appreciate that lowsec got some love with Retribution, but to say that it has vastly improved small scale frigate and solo PvP would be a fallacy. You see, it's all about the massive fights for CCP, like the lag ball that was Asakai. I'm afraid the lone wolf be whatever you want approach to EVE is slowly dying and no amount reason will ever change that.
But I suppose having Supercaps dropped on my Caracal is something I should get used to instead of finding quality Frigate or Cruiser solo PvP.

I would love to see CCP provide us with the metrics for the lowsec systems that hosted these plexes before they disappeared and now, and then try to bullshit us that PvP in lowsec has increased.
