Highsec is NOT safe.
For this is to be true, it would mean highsec is unsafe and it isn't.
It's not 100% safe but it is NOT unsafe. I don't feel unsafe when flying in highsec.
EvE = Everybody vs Everybody
For this to be true, it would imply that everyone is willing to shoot at everybody and they don't.
Player A might want to shoot player B but player B might not have the desire to shoot play A even though he / she is playing EvE.
Players who think this is a legit statement might confuse it with; ME vs Everbody (is like ME).

Not true; as risk is not a build-in game feature. It is an emotion and not a constant, whereas rewards in most circumstances is a game feature and a constant. The circumstances where rewards are not a constant it stop being a reward and turns into a gamble (luck), at which point risk as a concept is annihilated. |

Doesnt matter if you FEEL safe, you arent.
It has nothing to do with how many kills there are daily but about the possibility of you, yourself or anybody else being killed.
Possibility as in; chance, prospect, likelihood, odds.
I could also get killed in a car accident tomorrow or be struck by lightning but since the change of either is very very low, I feel pretty safe leaving my house to get to work.
Since the likelihood of getting killed in highsec is very low too, I'll say it's pretty safe to be there.
Lets for a moment say your hundreds of kill a day is correct.
In average there are a minimum of 10.000 people in eve every hour around the hour (23 hours in eve time a day). Some 5.000 of them dwell in highsec (50% is a nice round number).
Thats 115.000 people a day in highsec. Now lets say 800 of them get killed every day. Thats 0.7%
Thats a 0,7 procent change of SOMEONE getting killed. I and I think most players in highsec can live with those odds.
/me thinking: Probably some bad odds after writing this.
The fact that you or everyone else "could" is not the same fact that it most likely "will happen".
Oh. In case you're wondering: Why SOMEONE in uppercase?
Because the 0,7% is the change of someone among the 115.000 to be among the 800 that gets killed.
The chance of me or anyone else (as an individual) to be among those 800 is more in the line of 0.00087% |
