Think you all just miss the point completely. And no im not a wow player coming to here expecting to power level to 60 and that crap. I've probably been playing MMORPGS since you were in nappies. This arguement is about letting newer players who want to fight each other fight each other and not have veterans come blast the crap out of them in there apocs and tech 2 equipment. Simple as that.
I have suggested recently that it would benefit newplayers to have a type of 'safezone' PvP area in empire space and the response was mixed.
I believed it would encourage players that were either new new or inexperienced to have a battle and gain confidence. I also suggested it because sometimes you will come across a local channel griefer who simply wants to annoy you, and, having a 'concord approved' scrap, with no podkills would reduce this occurance and resolve 'differences of opinion'.
Yes, low-sec is dangerous, but without risk, what would be the point of playing the game?
When you enter low-sec, there is a warning on the screen - this was not always the case - effectively stating 'enter at your own risk'. Once you click yes, you are agreeing that whatever happens is your responsibility.
I agree also that it may seem that you are an ant walking amongst giants, but really, you're not. Shoe on the other foot for a second here. If you learnt some basic crusier skills, fitting skills and gun skills; flew into low sec and hunted down a 'veteren' pilot and engaged him/her in a battle and won they would love it and probably dump some isk into your wallet  . Of course, they may also convo their friends and hunt you down. Unlikely because if word got out that a n00b blew them up, they would the laughing stock of their clan.
Facts of eve:
1: You will lose ships
2: You will get attacked in low sec.
3: People will respect you for trying.
4: People will help you with anything you can think of and some things you can't.
5: You can make more money and learn faster in a player-corp.
6: The more you put into this game, the more you get out of it.
7: When you are in a player-corp, you can blow each other up, regardless of where you are and most corps run combat-ops for PvP practice.
8: On the eve test server, you can blow up anyone you want, so long as you ask permission first.
My suggestion would be to enter a really good corp and see how you get on. Engage with other people, talk to them, tell them what you want to do and they will make sure you enjoy yourself. Regardless of how many skills you have, you can offer more than you realise to this game and the people in it.
So put yourself out there and have some fun
