When CCP does start to pay attention to highsec by carrying out much needed fixes there (nerfing risk-free and effort-free income streams) the highsec loudmouths will start to wish CCP had carried right on with their 0.0 focus for a few more expansion cycles. Honestly, EvE simply won't survive if all the developers focus on is 0.0 for the next few expansion cycles. Several expansions in a row devoted to nullsec would be catastrophic in terms of player satisfaction and subscription retention. There simply are too many other players that don't live in nullsec and need their issues fixed as well if they are to remain happy, paying customers.
I agree wholeheartedly. Highsec badly needs some developer attention.
Its just that the issues that need fixing in highsec are not ones that most primarily highsec residents will benefit from, since they mostly boil down to 'no risk, no effort, all reward'. Any highseccer with the slightest awareness of the game beyond their missioning hub or ice belt knows this, the ones shouting about WHY DOESN'T CCP WORK ON HIGHSEC WHY ARE YOU CAPITULATING TO THE BIG 0.0 POWERS will start to wish they'd kept their mouth shut when CCP's gaze swiches back to empire.
Quote:All this business of nullsec being more important than highsec, or lowsec being more important than nullsec, its all completely subjective and irrelevent in the greater scheme of things. The fact remains that EvE is driven by a diverse player base living in all three areas of secure space, all of which have core gameplay issues that are fundamentally broken and in need of attention if they will continue to drive dynamic activity in those regions. CCP cannot afford to simply pull one "sec" out of a hat and say this is the most important, alienating the other 2/3 of customers in the process.
