Often a successful high sec based entity approaches a null sec entity to become a renter.
Once this happens the renter either fails to learn how to protect itself and it's interests, or it gains strength and experience sufficient to hold their given territory.
As time progresses, if the renters organization survives, it begins to attract a larger membership and greater wealth starts being generated for it's members.
Eventually they begin to feel the need to expand their borders, or at least solidify their holdings.
Finally they find themselves being approached by other empire based organizations for the purpose of seeking a rental agreement with them... or simply trying to move into the space that they had shown the initiative to carve out for themselves.
The interesting this about this whole process is, these people suddenly realize that people in Empire local and on the forums are calling THEM the evil, hard core PVP only fanatics of null sec. Suddenly they are The Bad Guy, and are accused of having no further ambitions in EVE other than to kill defenseless Empire dwellers.
Obviously exceptions exist, also sometimes these people decide "what the hell, I might as well make the most of the rep" and become exactly what you accuse them of.
But more often than you would believe, the only difference between you (the industrious citizen of empire) and them (the blood crazed, power hunger despots of null sec) is location and level of organization.
Food for thought.
Valid point but ignores the fact that a significant percentage of bears are casual players with RL constraints and aren't likely to be involved with an organisation such as you describe, far less actually running the thing. I've half a dozen real life friends playing Eve and I'm not sure we've ever actually been in the same system at the same time. It's not that I'm anti social, just don't feel the need to belong to a tribe.
Think the big issue here is that the landlords see renters as a resource to be squeezed and abused because if they leave we can just rent to someone else right? And it's not like they ever get their hands on the juicy resources anyway.
So yes, as the OP stated it's an attitude thing.
How's this for a scenario: Alliance holding sov creates an umbrella corp and allows 'civilians' to join at a reasonable tax rate and a monthly fee. They provide transport routes to hi sec (chargeable, of course) and in return they provide protection to the citizens of the area.
Citizens of the area produce and add value reducing the reliance on hi sec drops, more people arrive more wealth is generated. Other alliances see all the wealth and people; wars and pew pew occur..
Everyone wins.
But hey, it's so much more fun running a power trip, eh?

Everyone wins. You have no idea what crybabies renters are. Only Concord can provide the level of protection they need to be happy, and even then...
Possibly. I appreciate it's very hard to entirely secure an area but regular border patrols and some backup if my POS were attacked would do me. I suspect though that this is an idea best furthered by chnages in NPC 0.0 as there are no concerns about sov changes. Never did understand why the pirate factions would tolerate these upstart alliances dropping cap ships into their space with no response. |
