I believe CCP should develop Eve to appeal more to instant gratification, casual player audiences while retaining the raw brutal environments that it has. Not everyone wants to dabble with death on a daily basis. Nor do many people have the time that some aspects of Eve require.
In no way could this possibly detract from null or w-space or losec. If done right, it wouldn't even diminish current lulz mechanics people use in hisec for the lulz. Instant action arenas where one pays isk, plex, aur, cash, whatever to battle it out in any ship they want with no penalty, no gain other than experience. The biggest obstacle preventing people from going to dangerous areas of space, imo, is the fear/grind factor: They're scared to lose their hard earn ships/equipment because they had to grind their ass off to get it. Instant action arenas would be a training ground of sorts that allow people to learn what their hardware can/can't do. It would actually breed confidence enriching the pvp experience throughout eve.
I don't believe making hisec safer isn't a bad thing either. There should always be a means to grief/gank people but, certainly shouldn't be as easy as it is. Maybe make the penalties for such behavior more severe while relaxing concords abilities so that the offender might more often be "chased" off rather than blown up. Who knows....could be fun being "chased" by concord from system to system until you're out of the system/region/constellation. *shrugs*.

EVE already has this - the test server.
Yeah people keep referring to the test server. Roughly translated, however, it's like telling someone to go play another game. And that's exactly what a lot of people do....go play something else entirely.
I've never been on the test server. I have no desire to go to the test server. Telling people to do this is equivalent to CCP introducing a new feature and telling you it's only on the test server and will only ever be there. The tears would be ginormous.
Or would you have us believe that if CCP stopped development of Tranquility and only released new content on Sisi, you'd be happy with this? Somehow I think not.
