... moving the level 4 agents to low sec.

Though, perhaps some new level 4 missions could be put there, awesome ones with massive amounts of additional loot. I'd see no issue with that, as highsec players would still have the choice to decline such missions for ones that they know are safe, whilst still leaving the possibility open for those willing to take the additional risk for the additional reward.

I always like to post in these threads: Yah... ofc all level 4 missions should be in lowsec.

Not a new idea. It is a good idea though, but the entitlement party of highsec would cry too much.

Ready the flamethrowers, but I think it's time to consider moving the level 4 agents to low sec.

One of the key tenants of the EVE universe has been the risk to reward scale going from hi-sec to low-sec to null-sec. The farther you go, the greater the rewards. When it comes to mining for example, the base ores are in high sec with the most valuable in null sec. Added to that the population density in high sec and all of the belts are picked clean with the need to either move farther out into the frontier or into low sec. This shows a good example of the risk to reward escalation.

Missions on the other hand are different. While there are better paying missions in the lowsec/null sec areas, they are a small increase versus the change in risk that is associated. Level 4 missions in high sec give a substantial, multi-million ISK reward for practically no risk at all. And a character can easily get to level 4 agents in a few weeks with good Social skills.

While I do agree that new pilots need a foothold when they join EVE, this mechanic should scale with the rewards offered and I believe that by moving the level 4 agents into low sec, the risk can match the reward more effectively. (While keeping Level 1-3 agents in high sec)

There is another reason for this and that is to fight the large influx of ISK entering the EVE economy from missions. During last years Fanfest in 2012, it was pointed out that 26 Trillion ISK enters the EVE economy via missions. I believe this will go a long way in curbing inflation as pilots must now truly asses the risk of entering low sec with the greater rewards that level 4 and 5 agents offer.

Anyways, that's my idea. Flame away!

... I would like it if they occasionally sent people out into low sec

how bout you all stop trying to ruin the game for 75% of the players.
just because we dont want to fight your un-fair ass, doesn't mean you should force us

tl;dr kill yourselves, you are the cancer killing eve.

Well then, but let's rebalance those missions for PvP fits. Bonus points for coming up with the idea on how to do that without breaking those missions.

anither I DEMAND THAT PEOPLE PLAY THIS GAME MY WAY post

stop whinning OP only thing you want is easy targets nothing more nothing less this has nothing to do with risk - reward concept

While we're at it just delete high sec entirely. That should solve YOUR needs and desires................. wrong. If that does happen the unsubscribe button isn't too hard to find.

Then unsubscribe. It's not like you contribute something to this game anyways except 15 dollars a month to collect rocks or shoot crosses.... The only reason why CCP refuses to act on this issue is merely subscriptions.

and what's your overwhelmingly colossal contribution to the game? please, enlighten me.

Simple. I style hair and I'm an up and coming Florist. Heck for just 10,000 isk I'll bedazzle those tight leather space pants of yours. After all, even Pirates gotta look fabulous.

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.

impressive, you used all those words to say "nothing"

Better?

tl:dr

Obviously you have no rebuttal because you are just trying to be a prick about what flavor best serves peoples tastes in this game. The point obviously is to HAVE FUN. Personally I can't understand how people in this game can shoot rocks and rats for hours on end. I'd rather just scam with one of my alts or ransom off a HS pipe gate.

It's all rather simple and quite enjoyable! Pity CCP doesn't really promote Piracy as a valid profession especially toward younger players.
