Or you could just, y'now, buff null industry to be on par or greater than that in hisec. Assuming, of course, that we're talking about that issue for real and not just looking for "moar ganking" excuses.

Personally I think the low refinement rates and limited slots on POSs need to be brought up hisec NPC station standards as a minimum. In fact, making them work even better than NPC stations would be a good idea to offset all the expense and hassle of running a POS.

That.

High sec is supposed to be a lot safer. It's high sec! Maybe if the null bears would stop whining about it being too hard ganking people in high sec, and instead focused on warring each other, rather than building a giant blue donut, then they would get the pvp they wish for

The reason Null isn't insanely profitable anymore isn't because of some fault of the devs, it's because years and years of free market balancing (and massive nullsec alliances streamlining logistics of nullsec mining) have driven the prices down to the point where it's not really that different from high sec space anymore.

You yourselves are the reason null isn't as profitable as you'd like anymore. You've exhausted it. You've streamlined it, you've made it easy and decreased everything to it's lowest possible point of resistance to the point where it won't go down anymore, and then you turn around and look at hi-sec and realize you've ruined your own profits.

it just alienates people like me who distance ourselves from the sociopathic tendencies of people null alliances.
