I lived in Solitude low sec for the first 8 months of EVE. There is no 'empty low sec'.
This is a lie.

Their are plenty of low sec systems with fewer than 20 jump in per 24 hours, tha'ts pretty empty.
And even if it's not empty, again, low sec pve is done in deadspace, it's easy to evade people trying to kill you. High Sec income can't compete with the 500 mil per hour a guy who can fly a carrier can make.
I lived my 1st year in high sec listening to people like you lie to me about EVE. After faction warfare came out i joined, learned the ropes, and learned that low sec only requires an ounce more effort to be pretty safe to live in. I don't really care if high sec people learn this or not, I'm just correcting an untruth that I suffered from, that made me miss a whole YEAR of fun and loot because dumb but well meaning people were risk averse.
This is why now i take new players with my to low to show them how not scary it is.

There is roamed low sec and camped low sec. Roamed low sec has restricted PvE opportunity cycles and those cycles don't compete with high sec income. The only way low sec is more lucrative than high sec is if you have undisputed PvE because it's all a farm game.
Low sec stations are still an alternative for making capital parts if you have no/ refuse to affiliate yourself with Null Sov entities. It could have been a haven for introduction PI but 30% and up tax sunk that ship long ago.
Low sec is better for solo individual isk making that high sec or null sec or wormhole space (you need an organization in wormhole space to pull out better isk per hour than you can solo in low sec).
As i told another guy in this thread,
I'm not making this stuff up.Or this.Or this either.I don't know of a
solo pve activity in high sec or null or wormhole space (with the exception of solo Dreads in c5 wormholes, which I have never done) that pays better than 200 mil per hour sustainably purely solo. ALL of the pve activities I listed above do that (because I do them depending on my mood, I have 3 carriers in adjacent systems for lvl 5s, 2 toons in 2 different militias and a naga + stabber fleet issue in a low sec sisters of EVE station). And with the exception of lvl 5s, the things i do to make isk in low require CHEAP low sp ships.
I'll bet you any amount you want Ocih that you've never even tried some of the things I've linked, yet here you are telling people "don't even try". Perhaps the underling motivation is the same as the old saying of "misery loves company", but other than that, i can't figure out why folks like you believe what you do.
I'm serious, try it if you don't believe me. find the right area of low sec, get you a naga and see what you can do.
