People continue to think that by changing hi sec, people will all of a sudden move to null or low.

That is like thinking that getting rid of a hi class restaraunt will drive people to Mc Donalds. It won't. The people will just look for a different restaraunt that suits their tastes.

If you don't think nerfing hi sec will do anything but drive people away from the game you live in a closet.

EvE allows for a wide range of gameplay. Find your niche, enjoy what you like, and let others enjoy theirs. Stop trying to turn your problems into other peeps problems.

You. talking about evidence try to explane that to ccp...

Decrease player base is not good for busniss. See how criple all mmorpg are with less player base.... you need to balance everything not nerf here and there hopes player A is happy and player B there is always a war agains that....

People love intel cpu other people love amd there are the same but the are not.... meh good try.

The attempt HAS been made, in fact a lot of people "stuck" to the last years debates come directly to this thread to state exactly this: the umpteenth attempt at pushing more people out.

Now, evidently, moving people out is not the topic any more in these days, but L5 are a testament to the utter failure at pushing people to against what they want.
People who pay to play don't adapt, CCP now knows this, and this is why they cannot ravage hi sec like it'd be needed to improve null sec industry to competitivity.

Nerfing high sec would hurt null and low sec even more. If profits in hi sec were reduced prices of materials would just rise and get passed onto the manufacturers who then pass that increase onto the players who need a constant supply of pvp ships and fittings. Null sec industry needs buffing so it can compete with high sec, this will aid everyone as the competitition would lower prices. High seccers would not make as much profit as before but would not be forced to enter low/null sec (which to be honest is the real reason why low/null seccers want high sec nerfed) where they risk being shot at at every gate they jump through.

For null to become appealing to industrialists it would have to be safer and would non industrialists want a safer null sec.

Maybe if you low and null seccers stopped shooting barges and transports just for the sake of it then maybe a nerf/buff would not be needed as industry would then be viable but lets be honest, this thread is just a whine about not being able to shoot at players who have no interest in ship to ship pvp
