True story. I've lost one ship in null on a roam, one in low sec on a gate. All my other losses were i high sec. GAnking has always been a threat. Add my other toon and I have one more loss in low sc and LOTS in high sec. Ganking and griefing mostly.
Does CCP care? No. |

Does CCP care? No. Nor does anyone else care about your personal unverified anecdote, because they have access to years worth of hard data about the total situation.
And what would those numbers be? Jita alone has a higher kill rate these days than most of null sec.Toss Amarr into the mix and it's clear that null sec is easy-mode for EVE. Just use the stats in the EVE in-game map or just go to Dotlan.
Actually, null IS easy mode for EVE. Home to the truest carebearing in the game. Still, people won't come play with you. Hmmm, must be something other than the game mechanics. What could it be? OH! It's you. It's nothing other than null sec's own population that keeps people from going to null. CCP can't make null sec have better players.
If you're ganking in high sec then you've left null sec for better a better game experience. High sec agrees with you. Null sec is crap. |

There are a lot of casual players who just log in every once in a while so mission running is a good thing for them. I hate mission running. I hate it no matter what level systems I'm in. Ratting gets boring too. Null gets paid a lot more for it's ratting via anoms and sanctums, but that's still just mission running and ratting, even if null pilots don't want to think of it that way.
I solo-mined for almost 2 years in EVE. I did finally want to try some different things, but frankly, they seem to be either the same thing in a different place or just pointless. PVP? Done it and don't care really. I like exploration since it's always something different.
Now market PVP, that's the stuff. Being mostly a loner Ican't make the huge amounts of money, but it's the challenge. When EVE-metrics was still around I would information mine and try to expand remote markets. Pretty challenging to get the right combo of items and ships for what's being used.
Both sides of a war buying from me? Honey badger don't care! Made good money on wars, but it was the strategies of the market that were the best part. I mined steadily so I could increase my profit margin. Good times.
People just stay in high sec until they can get into null? Nope. There's simply a better game in high sec. Want people to go to null? Make null a better game. CCP can't fix the players though.
I checked out the numbers on ship kills provided by CCP. First off, I always look to CCP for completely honest disclosure of information.....
Second, the bulk of the numbers go back to 2007, when null sec used to fight wars. Second, the numbers centered on the new ships are primarily people trying new stuff, so you have to look for things to settle out. That's all assuming these numbers are accurate, since the logs show nothing on a pretty regular basis.
Quarterly report anyone? |

I think the quarterly report would show a lot of things, thus it was stopped.

Actually, Thredd makes a very good point. Ultimately that would be the outcome. |
