Actually the best thing would be removal of isk bounties/mission isk payouts. Make ratting as much about harvesting resources for a player driven economy as every other profession. Missions would be about getting loyalty points to spend on items plus whatever was dragged in and incursions would actually be run like the loot-dropping boss encounters they were meant to be instead of rat-chaining in highsec.
No more isk faucets to inflate the economy, isk truly becomes a currency and the capitalism game is actually capitalism because people compete and fight over control of resoures and not the biggest money-trees. |

Yeah, about that player driven economy thing, turns out noone cares. Well, maybe a few economists that bring their work home do but that's about it. People like making things go boom and detest players that go against the grain. I like my way better, it gets rid of the crap and ships go boom. It's a win/win for everyone, except for industry players but who cares?
Only highsec players think that ships/mods magically appear out thin air while they mash F1 for the isk to buy it because there's so many indys in highsec sitting on BPOs. Everyone in null/low/wh will tell you that if you want something it either needs to be flown out or built there.
First time someone goes to null and realizes what they want is 10+ jumps away and that's the only place in the region selling it is a real eye-opener. |

To the suicide gankers: nice work, keep it up.
And just what do you think would happen if nobody were to hang around in high-sec? I can answer that with just five words: The economy would die horribly. Seriously. If all the high-sec players were to move out to null-sec, who would produce all the stuff that is for sale at tradehubs? Nobody. Because nobody would dare move a convoy of freighters filled with goods anywhere in null-sec, maybe except for Goons, and as far as I know, they don't fly non-combat ships.
Highsec dependance is the reason nullsec blows, that and jump freighters/bridges. Everything people need is in highsec at cheaper prices. Mining and industry can be done there in safety without having to guard their PvE operations like in null. All that's required is to rat isk/drone poop and build some of the things not being jumped out. That's why there's nothing to do in null besides shoot rats and join blobs and cower in fear from AFK'ers.
If this highsec dependance were gone, it wouldn't kill nullsec because those living outside highsec know how to adapt, unlike their highsec counterparts who expect CCP to "fix the damn game" when something isn't going their way (fun fact: a "fix" in EVE online usually just means ten new problems replacing the old one).
Everything that exists in highsec exists in nullsec. Alliances rely on highsec for their supplies the same reason that so many individuals rely on it for their income: because it's more convenient and lets them amass huge amounts risk-free. |
