Wormhole space isn't that active at the moment because:
* there are a lack of conflict drivers to encourage PVP in wormhole space.
* no substantial content has been added in years, so their is nothing new to entertain vets or promote wormholes to newer players.
* in most cases, the rewards do not justify the risk. Equivalent isk can be earned in in k-space without as much risk or investment.
* wormholes aren't "special" anymore and practically everything there was to discover has been discovered and documented.
* CCP is focused on k-space not w-space.

I have been trying to recruit miners. Mostly for de-mining activities (picture a flock of Procurers pushed ahead of the troops like sheep in a minefield). However, it's hard to convince people that they won't be baiting when they want to be mining. I mean, hello, you roll yourself in and everyone chows down on the pimp nerd food in gravs, and just watch for a new sig. It's that simple. You'll make billions. And then, when there is something to bait, you'll get cheap-ass PVP handed to you on a plate.
But no, it's all "mew mew mew wormhole mining is too dangerous".
They are right. Why take the risk of mining in wormholes when you can do it in k-space which has the benefit of local?

Fit a procurer with T2 shield tank, get some drones in it, and then you can combine mining with PVP/being a bait for your invisible pvp fleet... that for sure is not in kspace too much.
Irrelevant. It's still more risk for equal or less reward compared to k-space.

That's a good point... High PLEX prices are contributing to less people in wormhole space. I've unstubbed my alt due to the price, as have many others. I also know people that have left C5 space and moved to highsec because it's easier to earn isk from incursions.

The new T3 destroyers should bring in some new players and they will be great for traversing those crappy small ship wormholes.
We are still going to need new conflict drivers and content if there is ever going to be a sustained increase of activity in space though, IMO.
