You can't really argue with the logic here though.

Yes you can. See, watch me lol.

Not the squarest angle on the protractor are you?

If a player is worried about being blown up by corp mates they're less likely to join a player corp.

I don't see where you struggled to understand this very basic application of logic.

I think SD should revert back to this function, if you know you're going to die but can hold out for the full 2 minutes why not give you the ability to deny assets to the enemy? Modern tactics is hardly against this idea, deny as much as you can to the enemy.

Murdering people who run and hide from even the faintest sign of danger is not a simple task.

Is there really a way to reach out to those who don't want to interact with other people in the game?

(Besides ganking them and sending the survey with the termination notice, which is already being done.)

But carebears and new players aside, I believe MOST of the wealth in the game is being produced in high-sec. 5 Freighter kills I made in high-sec yesterday were worth more than two weeks of pvp kills and losses in fountain.

How about leaving it up to the players to discern which are the good corps, which are traps, which are war-dec pinatas, and which are just horrible places to be in?

I ddin't say change anything, I said his logic was sound.

Perhaps the issue would be how to better educate newbies as to the brutality of the game and what they can expect. What if the tutorial warned everyone explicitly that corpies can and will shoot you in high-sec?

The point is they do know they can be killed by corpies, so don't join a player corp.

I abused the humble bundle offer by rolling out a bunch of clean alts for spying and awoxing work experiencing high-sec content. I was immediately convoed by several recruiters trying to get me to join their mining corp and mission tax farms. Anyone can join corps these days it seems.

I can only really answer that with "so what?"

It completely disproves your point.

Not only are people willing to hire, but there are tons more who are willing to join. As an awoxer myself, I can tell you full well that the recruitment scene does NOT suffer due to the existence of awoxing.

"highsec aggression" does not hurt corp recruitment. I know because I do it every week or so.

You have zero evidence that players being aware that corp mates can shoot them hurts recruitment. You don't even have anecdotal evidence, you are just pulling this assertion out of thin air.
