EVE is a game. And main purpose of a game is to prduce fun for the players.
People play in high, low or null cause they feel good with that kind of gameplay. There's no serious reason or interest in to forcing them to change. And the idea that offering more or less in-game currency to push such changes is simply silly. If this mechanic was true we already had the large majority of players in null.
Truh is: people play where they feel is fun for them to play. Isn't rocket science.
Example:
I hate mining in EVE. In my mind EVE mining is one of the msot boring thing ever seen in a game. Doesn't matter how much you increase the mining income I will never spend my time doing that. And if you directly or indirectly force my gameplay to change and re-focus on mining I will quit.
And same will do people feeling comfortable in HS gameplay if you try to push or force them to embrace a gameplay they dislike, they will quit.
If you think that some area of EVE need boost then you have to improve the related gameplay, not just increase or nerf the ISK. This has nothing to do with making high-sec players go somewhere else. It's about making sure high-sec isn't a better place to make money for null-sec players.
The point is: Who wants more people in nullsec space? You? I doubt so.
Like all others who demand a hisec nerf, you seem to want more targets in nullsec space. There is a difference between peoople and targets you may be aware of. People are accepted, maybe greeted, or ignored. Targets are shot right on the spot. That's what players like you try to do as soon as anybody leaves hisec space.
Hisec players aren't playing mainly in hisec space because there is that much money to earn. They -we- are playing in hisec space becaus we don't want to easily be made targets. Everyone is aware you can earn much more money in null than in high. Hisec players stay n hisec though. Why do you expect a nerf to change that?
On the other hand, nullsec players who move to hisec for a better income may have had some experiences with roaming gangs. Nullsec players looking for easy targets can make nullsec less profitable than hisec. Those who move back into high were never "nullsec players" in the first place.
Now, if I'm all wrong, people in nullsec are all nice people only shooting at others to defend themselves, you are a player eager to help newbs in null and all I wrote is total bullshit, here is an advice to get more people into nullsec:
Go NRDS. All of you playing in null. And set no one to red. |
