I don't know of anyone ever claiming that.
Ever since the first time CCP posted ship loss statistics by type of space and separated between pve and pvp losses it's been entirely undisputed that highest has the lowest proportion of ship losses to PVP and the second lowest total PVP losses.
You must be new or something, because the rest of us have been aware of the statistics you posted for literally years. |

Whoops, there goes that theory. Turns out if you remove losses to rats, hisec comes in third. You just refuted an argument that I've never heard anyone make. So hey . . . well played?
Just because you missed it, doesn't mean that it never happens. The "more PvP happens in hi-sec, thefore buff CONCORD/nerf 0.0/blue donut" argument is pretty common.

The graph is a measure of how valuable the ship hulls are that are lost in high sec, low sec, null sec, and wormhole space.
The graph is NOT a measure of how much ISK is destroyed in player versus player combat in each respective region.
The graph is NOT a measure of how much ship combat takes place in each respective region.
The graph may not be a measure of the industrial capacity of null, but it sure IS a measure (if incomplete) of null's ability to acquire ships for PVP. (Looks like it's not a problem for them.)
The graph is NOT a measure of how much player versus player interaction takes place that is not direct ship combat.
The graph says absolutely nothing about WHY or HOW it is that null, despite being a veritable wasteland according to certain null sec players, has mountains of ISK to throw away on PVP.
The graph says absolutely nothing about WHY or HOW ships tend to die in each region. (Do they get stuck in bubbles? Do they get locked out of stations? Do they get tackled in belts or anomalies? Or do pilots just sit there and die because their fleet commander said so and, because, well, it ain't like they paid for the ship anyway?)
The graph says absolutely nothing about the socialization process that players are subjected to from very early on in the game whereby they are led to believe that null=PVP and high-sec=PVE.
It's hard to draw conclusions about such things without more than just 4 squiggly lines on a gray background. |

So, you're CHOICE is to do PVE in high sec and your CHOICE is to do PVP in null. Maybe you could shed some light on why that is. |

Maybe my argument should have been "It's not that there are less losses in hi-sec, its just null-sec players are just bad at the game and tend to die more in foolish ways and should have never undocked in the first place."
Hopefully that is inflammatory way to keep this discussion going.
I mean seriously, why all the losses? It means someone doesn't know how not to die.
Or that the hi-sec gankers aren't doing their job well enough. Are you really that stupid, or are you just trolling?

No, its not my choice, I'd rather PVE in null, but (as has been demonstrated time and again), it's just easier to do it in high sec uninterupted. Hell, my Machariel can make 105 to 120 mil per hour in null anoms, but I have to take lots of percautions, watch local and intel etc.
Or I can fly the exact same mach in a high sec incursion fleet, the FC does the "driving", a fleet of logi reps me if I get shot, I don't have to wath local or intel, and NO ONE can take sov from the Amarr Empire (where many high sec incursions happen because it's so big). And make the exact same 105-120+ mil an hour NOT counting Concord LP......
So my "choice" is be where I want to be and deal with all different kinds of danger or be totally safe and make the EXACT same amount of isk.
Some "choice". |

Well, you could also more safely PVP in high sec, but you choose to do that in null. Whatever your reason, that might have something to do with why ISK is being spent on ship hulls that die in null than in any other place in game. |

When has a lack of facts ever stopped shiptoasting from bad posters?
I have seen a lot of people trying to argue this thing over the years. Normally in threads about risk vs reward in highsec. |

There aren't many of those, tbh. I like to claim null sec is fairly safe for a ratter / miner, which it is, as 1. you have people protecting your borders and 2. there are usually region-wide intel channels and 3. anyone entering your system that's not blue is a threat by default (exception being Providence). Note that neither of those has anything to do with the amount of pvp in null, as there will still be constant border clashes and pvp roams.
That said, I'm a bit surprised that WH isk destroyed is that low. I know it has by far the least population, but still, I'd expect it would be fairly popular with gankers because local doesn't reveal them. |

Problem with WH pvp is that you cant have short roams due to not knowing where a WH will spit you out and the targets tend to on the ball. |

That's not going to support your assertion, since there aren't "lowsec regions" and "highsec regions" so you can't separate highsec pvp ship losses out from nullsec ones just from the data he shows there. Module activation timers are buggy. CCP please fix. |

However this info shows that most high+low regions gives more kills that 0.0 regions. Sometimes with >2x difference. Which means that difference between high, low and 0.0 is not as big as you want it to be |

Null-sec PvE is more profitable than high-sec PvE if you are willing to put in lots of effort or dedicate multiple accounts. The problem is you don't have a million accounts or tons of SP then the base minimum of PvE in null-sec is similarly profitable to running incursions or missions in high-sec while assuming lots more effort and risk. I don't think anyone seriously advocates nerfing high-sec but instead asks for an increase in the rewards of null-sec PvE. This would have the added benefit of bringing more people into null. |

CCP cant offer even more isk for 0.0 pve activities so that leaves nerfing high as the only viable option. Unlike many highsecers, we are willing to see past our own greed to see through balance needs. |

Most serious isk makers in nullsec do it with highsec alts, either farming Incursions or FW, or doing high level industry or trading in the big highsec hubs. The rats in nullsec can be pretty decent isk for basic line members. You can keep yourself in PvP subcaps by doing anomalies, or even belt ratting in good space. Trying to rat up enough in nullsec for a carrier or dread is a serious grind. At battleship rats with a bounty of about 1.5mil each, you would need to kill over a thousand BS rats to buy a carrier hull.
They aren't stupid about wanting to nerf highsec PvE because most of us realize that this is basically unbalanced situation that needs to be fixed, even if it means hurting some of our personal cash cows. It also means that ccp can ignore nullsec problems by just sugar coating other areas of the game. You end up with nullsec being funded by nullsec players logging out and logging in their Incursion or wormhole alts, or their T2 production team 5 jumps from Jita. Then people complain that nullsec is virtually empty but all the good and easy isk is made logging in almost anywhere else. |

Depends on metrics used. For example, are 3 great hi-sec frigate free-for-alls all happened in the span of the graph posted. In the first event, about 10k ships were blown up, 12k in the 2nd, and 28k in the 3rd. That amounts to 50000 hulls destroyed. However, at .5 mil per hull, that only amounts to 14 billion in hull costs.
Now for one individual, 14 bil is a large pile if isk, but it's about 5 freighter hulls or 10 carrier hulls. Even assuming one million isk per ship, it would only be 50 bil in losses, and since they were all t1 fit ships, no rigs, 1 million each is high. So right there, RvB may have the most kills in high sec, but the actual isk lost is very low.
And even when using more expensive fits, you have: T2 fitted T1 frig costs about 10 mil. (low here I think) T2 fitted T1 dessie about 20 mil. (high estimate here) T2 fitted T1 cruiser about 35 mil. (about right here)
If it is a 15 vs 15, frig fit, with 5 people surviving, it's a 200 mil isk fight and that us about the cost of 1 battleship t2 fit. Yes, we may have several such fights a day, and the number of hulls destroyed are high, we really don't amount to much isk lost, nor would we show a large spike on the graph because of how cheap the smalker ships are.
So yes, RvB may contribute a high number of hulls lost in hi sec PvP, isk wise, one day of good flights barely equals the isk lossed in a freighter gank or pimp maurauder kill. |

Well, you could also more safely PVP in high sec, but you choose to do that in null. Whatever your reason, that might have something to do with why more ISK is being spent on ship hulls that die in null than in any other place in game.
"Pvp more safely"? Do you actually think about what you post or are you just used to arguing for the sake of argument? Because that's nonsense.
You cannot get the same kinds of pvp in high sec as you get in null (yea, try to catch a guy as he jumps through his high sec jump bridge lol, or catch a high sec ratter ratting with his carrier). You CAN make the same kind of PVE isk in high as you can in null in near perfect safety, if not incursions then by farming 4/10s in a Tengu with a probe launcher and deep sapce probes.
