I'd say that people that live in the lower class systems are pretty happy with low class. Lower class wormholes have various advantages including easy access to k-space, caps can't be brought in and some systems offer isolation. People can choose a low class wormhole that suits their play style, so they have little to complain about.
I don't think the same can be said for c5/c6 space. You farm, you roll and you blob. Good or bad, the mechanics encourage this behavior.

Where is the risk if you keep one eye on the wormhole and one eye on D-scan? Maybe there is as risk of going cross eyed but that's about it.
War decs do not have the same effect on a wormholer, as they do on L4 runners so it's not really a fair comparison. When you run missions in high sec, you will often have to do a little bit of travelling between systems to accept/complete your mission, so why should C1 & C2 wormholes be buffed to the point where someone can just stay in one systems and watch the isk roll in?
The ability to roll your static means your potential income is limitless. I don't understand why some many people are advocating for less activity in wormhole space.

let me ask you this is there greater risk in a wh doing sites or in hisec doing stuff??
That depends on the situation. If i was a L4 runner and i got war deced, the risk of being attacked would be pretty high.
I can only speak from personal experience but when i lived in a lower class wormhole as part of a small group, i was very cautious when running sites and it was vary rare that i got caught out. If i felt the risk was too high (no corp mates online) i would either take a cheap ship like a drake or go and do something else (pvp, scout).
All wormholes can be rolled so i'll stick to me belief that the potential to earn isk in wormhole space is limitless. However, if you live in a hole that is not fit for your needs, that is your problem. You can either find a new one or make the one you have work for you.
I don't think buffing C2 sleepers sites would do anything positive for wormhole space. Buffing lower classes would just encourage the farming mentality. People should be incentivize to run sites in their static.
TL;DR: Risk is relative and if you don't like the isk to risk ratio in your hole - move!

We arent talking wardecs here just general day to day, simple yes or no is wh space riskier than hisec Rek Seven wrote:

Please explain how I can roll a c1 or c3 with static hisec or lowsec, for limitless wh isk yes i do agree if you can't manage stuff in your static then the wh isn't right for you.
As i said it's all relative. Wormholes are inherently riskier on paper but that doesn't mean that you are immune to all dangers in high sec. Suicide ganking and war decs are a reality of high sec in the same way that there is a chance that someone could be sat in your wormhole cloaked, waiting for you to do sites.
If you have a HS or low sec static, you can go exploring to find new wormholes that have sites to run, do exploration sites or various other k-space activities.

Even though its harder and more riskful to roll statics for smaller corps (which are mostly living in C1-C4s), I've heard that ppl in C5+ WHs never farm outside their own system while it's a big part of the income for most others. Which means that to make a living in C1-C4s takes more risk and provides less income compared to C5+ WHs. And this is simply because they got numbers and capitals?
I really think that the capital escalations in C5s shouldn't reset after DT. That'd make content and end this skewed ISK/risk-inbalance for C5+ WHs.
That's half true. People roll more frequently in C5/C6 space so you can still be jumped on at any moment and if you're flying caps, you might me stuck in siege and triage for up to five minutes.
... That said, I think you might be right in that CCP should probably look at the site spawning mechanic to encourage C5/C6 people to PVE in their static more.

If you got more than 2 brain cells the risk is really minimal compared to the income. And even if you get jumped you are in a very advantageous position.
Does having a higher IQ reduce the risk of an incoming k162?

As it is now C5+ and the lower class WHs are two separate realms that seldom can interact with each other in a meaningful manner.
Please elaborate.

Should CCP also allow capital escalations in c1-c4 space? That would buff the isk.

I might be in the minority, but I would love to have 2 statics in my c5.
I agree... although I don't really like the idea of CCP suddenly changing the space around me. I would prefer if they gave me the ability to create my own "second static".
