Because it has no relationship to how things really work. You can always make the most money in areas where there is the most stability. And when you think about it that makes sense. here is what doesn't.

The price of stability is a higher "price of admission". I could mine gold in the Congo or in Alaska. In the Congo there are less barriers to entry and lower overall costs, but significantly more risk. It is the first part that is missing in EvE hi sec, barriers to entry and higher overall costs.

Nothing is free in a "civilized" nation or space. Where are the mining permits and the subsequent outlaws that mine without a permit? Where are the taxes, beyond corporate taxes, for living in protected space? Docking permits, trade license, etc.

Beyond making the hi sec experience realistic it could add flavor to the game. Loose practices in some factions including corrupt officials or tight laws down to a specific permit required for each type of ore. All available at a local space station.

Risk versus reward is bozo. Lo sec is about freedom, hi sec is about sacrificing those freedoms for protection.

-all you have to do is move to low and do low sec exploration to win billions.

Venture?

The only way to make high sec less profitable is to make veldspar mining less profitable. This can only be done by either increasing supply (mining more of it) or reducing the demand (which only CCP can do and they in fact increased the demand awhile ago)

Any direct attacks on the high sec mining industry itself just decreases supply, increasing prices and make the rest of the miners richer and others more motivated to start doing it.

Yes, because it needs nerfing. How anyone can think that a game that supposed to be about player control and interaction having a zone so stable most player never choose to leave it (and thus never try to exert any control over the game) will boggle my mind until the day i return to ashes and dust.

CCP can talk about "people who log in should be slightly angry" or whatever the quote was, but as long as high sec is like it is, it will only display a shadow of the chaotic human-driven beauty it can and should always have been.

By denying a market opportunity to other low sec explorers, unlike high sec mission runners (mission running being the most used PVe in high sec) who are getting infinite missions from the same agents other people get infinitemissions from. Mission runners may interact with markets some because of LP, but thats it.

Low sec is still empire that, real player driven madness (other than the markets) happens in nullsec and wormholes That's why you always see null sec and wormholes featured in CCP's Ads for the game. When was the last time we saw a CCP Advert for the game of a dude running mission after mission after bloody mission in high sec?

(panseys that they tend to be)

EVE's real potential is outside of CONCORD protection, yet even in a game like EVE, the average human being can't get past the idea of losing PIXELS long enough to do anything meaningful (in the game sense). Whi8le i believe "to each his own", it seems like a huge waste, like a single player game of checkers.

Not to the same extent as in other places, no. Is the Gallente Federation going to cede control of Dodixie to you because you ran 10,000 missions?

What i'll never understand is why you types (and you are in EVERy video game with multiplayer and every MMO) can't just leave folks like us alone to have out harsh high competition cut throat games without coming in and trying to water it down.

lol. The New Order guys have literally zero impact on game-play. Outside of the forums I have never (despite asking frequently) encountered anyone who has bumped into anyone actually doing that mining permit crap. If I ever find one, I will war dec their corp, just for the lols.

This is a false (GD fed) perception. Even in null, most pvp has nothing to do with "blobs". I haven't been in a big fleet in 2 years personally. I know some people do nothing but big fleets, but there is plenty of small gang and solo stuff going on.

It's a bit frustrating to experience null for the last 5 years then come here and see how people are SO SURE it's so terrible and all blobs and moon goo. It's just...not.

While I've observed such behavior in other games, it took me by surprise when I encountered it in games like EVE and Darkfall. WTFmate, even the hardcore games are over-run but squishy soft ego types who can't stand the idea of loss.

Alarm clock CTA's??? -really???
Does this really happens in this game and are there really so many idiots doing it?-this community never ceases to amaze me.

You have to adapt to that as much as the "wuss" players have to adapt to the game's harsher aspects, which still exist in substantial glory, and everyone is adapting!

unless those Wusses come in Blood Raider skins they wouldn't be targets for me.

But why do you think more "cancer" would be welcomed lol. That's what carebearism really is, it infects every hard core and pvp style game eventually. It was no different (for me) in mechwarrior and x-wing.
