ok boys and girls.
back in 2005 upto 2008
I ran missions in low sec or null sec.
why did I do this??
better lp rewards and income.
and low sec was must more empty back then and if you played your cards right and befriended the locals. you usually got left alone if you kept your head on.
Did I lose ships to low sec pvpers? yes and no.
sometimes it was bad luck and what not.
Did I ever get scanned down? nope.
places I missioned off of the top of me head were.
Ziriert
Hophib << lost a sacriledge here to dumn luck
Yahyerer
Gyerzen << my 1st pvp was in this system.. I killed me a loot thief lol
Aranir << lost a raven to a sacriledge and his 2 friends and after he dide they was on grid.
and last but not least.
G-0Q86 < lost an apoc to a random gate camp.
lost other shiops tooo but that's the part and parcel of low/null missions.
would I do them now days??? lol nope.

The carrot just cannot be big enough to draw risk-averse players into low sec to learn how to PvP. Missions to lowsec will be skipped and abandoned. Moving industry to lowsec will benefit the people who are already in lowsec and know how to keep new folks off their lawn, meanwhile hisec will simply starve and the game will die.
Depriving hisec players of income will lead to hisec players not having the ability to fund their excursions into lowsec.
Ultimately, the problem with lowsec is the people in lowsec.
I agree.. don't matter what ccp does to make null or low sec mission desirable, people just wont go. and the more desirable ccp makes it. the more that pvp corps will exploit it.
imo null sec and low sec missions too a HUGE hit when cco made most missions out of system.
that's why null sec and low sec missions rocked back in the day. |

The only thing they would do is start farming level 3 missions. This is what makes the idea so awesome. translation: i don't need anything myself if it makes you lose something too  It's pretty sad that you can make more money in nearly perfect safety running L4s as opposed to doing anoms in, say, low-sec. L4s are completely out of whack; L3s are plenty for high-sec.
I used to do lvl 4 missions in high sec. make anywhere from 1-3b isk a week and nearly doubled that once I started farming enemies abound with 6 chars .
then the tag market crashed and I went to null some 9 months ago.. and was making 1-4b isk on a great day normally it became 300m a day.
also did something that high sec aint done for me in years. made new friends.. friends I would give the last of my isk to and have done, people who made the game enjoyable again.
so basically.. moving to null/low sec is a life style choice. |

These are very basic yet powerful tools a player can use to protect themselves. However you can't do that if you are afk....  you missed one important part: 5. abandoning accepted mission because local pirates made it so you have no chance to finish it
youmissed out on, don't need to if you are said pirates. |

And how much do yu make when a cloaky camper shows up? I've moved to null a couple times. Get set up, making decent profit, one cloaky camper shows up and shuts down the system for weeks.... back to high sec for me. I'd rather make less ISK an hour in high, then be camped in by a single cloaky.
well funny you should say that...
I been in null sec for near on 9 months now.
when we was in immensea we got the odd cloaky every week nothing major.
we then moved to a -1.0 system in the drone regions pretty much on order of our ceo/director. we got camped near 90% of the time.
now we live in feythabolis. and we get even less campers than we did in immensea.
also we know how to deal with afk cloakers.. do you?? oh of course not you went back to empire.
what ya do is.. see if they hold any null sec space.. send you own afk cloaker up there.. sooner or later you get offered .. if you leave our afk cloaker leaves.
its all about meta mechanics |

speaking f bots and you are playing the game wrong..
being a 2004 player my self.
I have seen many a solo player who refuses to play the game as a mmo and as a single player game, they end up not getting anywhere in the game.. buy isk from isk sellers and items.. then they lose it to Captain CCP.
now if "those" solo mmo'ers had at least made an attempt to play the game as a MMO that is ment to be based around pvp in all its forms.. then maybe they will see the game in a new light.
I my self truly started to see the game as a mmo when I started camping 3/10s in high sec.
it was a race to the last room with around 20 players all racing to the final room.
we would fit our ships to get there ahead of everyone else.
from there I went to proper pvp .
rest is history |
