Some of the smuggest and cockiest people I've met and seen come from lowsec. Battleships? Yeah, no bombs in lowsec. High-grade Snake pods? Yeah, it's next to impossible to catch them in lowsec. |

Low-sec PvP is easy mode?
No. It's more of a lateral move from null-sec PvP.
Some risks and benefits go away and other risks and benefits pop up.
No more bubbles? Okay, sure, you pod is now quite safe. But it is also very, very hard to stop people from Leeroying into a system you are defending.
No more bombs? Okay... you can now use bigger ships without fear of being erased by a small squad of unseen ships. But you also have to deal with the reality that others can use the same ships to create medium-sized wrecking-balls of destruction... and there is no easy way to deal with them.
NPC stations everywhere? Okay, you no longer have to fear about your station being conquered and thus be locked out from your stuff. But you also have to deal with the reality that your enemies can pretty much live in the same station as you do and can see you whenever you undock.
More people and things to do? Okay, you have more entertainment. But you also have to deal with the fact that there is always a hostile of some kind in your system and you never quite know where they are. (NOTE: this is why low-sec players laugh at null-sec people about AFK-cloakers... we deal with that reality everyday)
Easier logistics? Okay, you have more security in what things you have and can easily procure something you need. But your enemies have the same ability and you can't really stop them.

It's a literal question. You're getting philosophical answers. Doing gang roams in T1 dessies with a bunch of drunk pals for lulz is in no way the meta game for EVE. (This will be 1.) It isn't remotely like building an empire in null sec with a corp of a few dozen active players creating your own infrastructure, manufacturing/mining/marketing operation with an accompanying formidable defense force (and maybe even a bit of offense to expand into others' territories as need should arise) allied with other similar corps with like interests. (This will be 10.) 10 being then "meta" or "hard mode". 1 being "easy" or "drunk bro activity mode". Just place your concept on the scale of 1 to 10.* As in most questions on this forum, you've answered yours in your own post.
*It is assumed the activity of ganking n00bs still in n00bish states with T3 dessies isn't valid game play so should not be not included would be obvious to anyone who is sober, honest or has half a brain. This is more akin to the digital nail biting with accompanying inter-pants peeing...like real drunks do. What's this CODE for?

As someone who has lived in and pirated in lowsec for almost 2 years, this is 100% true, its not easier, its just as hard only in different ways (And its wayyyy more fun!) You can either go out in a t3 if you have cash to occasionally burn, or just use a t1 frig for some fun kills! I dont really know anywhere in null that you can do solo t1 frig pvp and be successful (Possibly NPC, but idk). Plus the people there tend to have much more RL SP than the null bears so, experience is your winner, SP comes second.

Nobody did. I just don't think low-sec PvPers are as "leet" as they claim to be. As stated earlier, I base my statement on implants. It's so nice to have a full high grade slave set and not have to worry about being podded. Or doing a good RR BS doctrine and not run the risk of being bombed. Must be nice. |

Honestly you will find most low sec pvpers tend to prey on the same types of people that wardeccers do. These are almost always "carebears" or people trying to sneak in or through low sec for various non pvp activities. In null if you have a small gang roaming around you much more likely to get a fight from other pvpers.
Null pvpers tend to be more experienced at pvp but less adapt to solo pvp.
In some ways null pvp is more hardcore. In others lowsec pvp ( or null npc) would be harder. In null if you have 5 neuts in system they are likely there to kill you. In lowsec if you have 5 neuts in system only 1 or 2 may be out to kill you. the rest may be managing a POS, trying to ninja rat, in a dock doing various station activities or just passing through on their way to somewhere else.
As it was said. They are different types of pvp. I do consider low sec pvp to be easier because you never run the risk of losing access to the dock. So you can always sneak in and collect your things and sneak out. Whereas in null if you dont have docking rights or a JC, your not getting back in the dock unless you take it back.

Any type of PvP where you are based out of an NPC station, and your corp/alliance has a majority of their members in the NPC station, is easy mode.
You don't have to worry much about moving assets, or not being able to get your assets out when your station / system gets taken over.
Your enemy cannot force a fight on you, because it's an NPC station and you can just dock up. So you don't have to dedicate as much resources to defending your station / system. The assets in your personal / corp hangar will be safe and movable no matter if you fight, or don't fight, because its an NPC station. |

And all low-sec PvPers how to do is dock up in the NPC station, and try use gate cannon to their advantage.
Generally speaking, 0.0 PvP is much harder because:
1. In Sov systems, none of the Stations are immune. Your enemy can force a fight on you, because you need to defend your station. Especially if your corp / alliance has a lot of assets in that station, and will be locked out if the enemy takes it over.
2. You run into blobs
3. On a small scale pvp, there is no gate turret to help if other people engage first.

in sov you have timers, you dont just instantly lose your station so you have plenty of time to move assets and blue ball people, we also have titans and supers in pos's.
you dont get blobs in lowsec? blobs aint a difficult thing it doesnt make pvp harder because everyone has scouts and if your fleet hits a blob then they should have had a scout.
gate turrets work both ways, its not really a factor to measure the hardness of pvp
again sov mostly know how to blob and most of the time they are easily fooled by a small scale fc who is organised, sov = throw everything you can at everything.

Basically, you've just admitted that when you do a hard comparison of game mechanics, 0.0 Sov pvp is more difficult.
Because everything you do in 0.0, you can also do in lowsec.
In Lowsec, there are no timers, so your stations and assets are invincible 100% of the time. You don't lose your pods so you can always PvP in high grade Slave / Snake / Crystal implants - even your entire fleet can PvP in Snake / Slave / Crystal implants!
In Low Sec, blobs are less deadly, because there are no bubbles! Ships can warp away easier from blobs.
Also, Supercap logistics is easier in lowsec, because you can more easily set up safe poses in another lowsec system 1 jump away, and cyno your supercap right on the POS.
Of course since you're from lowsec, you would like to think lowsec pvp is the most elite of them all - but I am just doing a hard comparison between game mechanics here. And when you compare the game mechanics between the two, 0.0 is more difficult. |

What about the entities in 0.0 who don't want sov and base out of NPC stations? These entities surround themselves around sov holding alliances leading to a target rich environment for them. Their KB stats are different because the kills generally involve less people and revolve around guerrilla warefare tactics meaning they are not a SOV holding F1 monkey and rack up 150 kills in one fight and claim to have awesome k/d ratios just by hitting F1 and following broadcasts. Just because someone partakes in 0.0 pvp does not mean they always partake in sov pvp. Just throwing that out there. |

It depends on what 0.0 NPC system they are based in, but it is still more difficult than lowsec because of the reasons I mentioned above.
Also because many of the 0.0 NPC systems are deep inside 0.0, and anything within 1 - 2 Cyno jump is 0.0 Sov space. |

you just assume ive always lived in lowsec, i moved to lowsec from npc curse where i done small gang fighting mostly against sov, they blob alot with kitchen sink fleets and dont really know how to deal with small organised fleets so they just throw more and more ships at it and hope for the best.
i live in lowsec because there is more targets and you have to be a bit more cautious as the systems are alot more populated, you dont always know a neut in lowsec is hostile, you do in sov because neuts should not be in your space

You were basing your argument on 0.0 sov PvP which is F1 monkey PvP. That's equally as bad as low-sec PvP on many levels. |

Edit to Add: Each "type" of pvp has its advantages and disadvantages. And its unlikely you will convince someone that does a certain type of pvp that yours is better. IMO, No rules PVP or its not PVP. But really it comes down to what type you have the most fun doing. Would you rather hunt target in high sec. like a hound hunting a fox? Would you rather try to catch people at a low sec gate trying to take that shortcut to save them 7 jumps? Would you rather go in guns blazing and see what you can kill before you die? Do you want to pvp with no rules, but you dont want to have to constantly fight to keep your stuff? Do you want to fight for your right to be in that space and try to take over other's space? Do you like lurking in the shadows waiting for someone to enter to try to run a site or mine? Only to have you show up out of nowhere guns blazing and without mercy?

Low is where all my best fights have happened. The only situation where it might be 'easy mode' is if you're overwhelming an oblivious opponent, which is a lot easier to do in nul because bubbles. You ever tried catching anything that knows what they're doing without a bubble? Try it sometime, then tell me it's easy mode.
End of the day, though, there's no 'real' pvp, or pvp*, there is just pvp. Different tactics for different areas of space, sure, but there's a reason why people with a propensity for solo suck in large fleets, and why people used to large fleets suck at solo. Same reason why people good at PVP in lowsec are gonna have a lot to learn in nul, and vice versa.

Is apple juice worse then orange juice? Which is better. That is essentially what your asking here. You can get great content anywhere, or **** content anywhere. In a full fleet of rattler, when your outnumbered 1:2, and you win after a long ass fight your ******* on top of the world. Or sometimes you spend an hour docked up for a fight that other guys don't even form for it. Sometimes in lowsec you get a great fright with even numbers where you just sort of edge out. Sometimes no one will fight for a million jumps. |

This meme of Hurr Sov PVP is F1 Munkey Hurr has been thrown around so much that irrelevant lowsec garden-gnomes are starting to throw it around. Sov can force you into engaging on a front you aren't prepared to supply or dedicate resources to. The F1 monkey situation can only hold because of the scale of conflict. Sure there are large numbers of people being told by one FC where to align, what range to hod at, what to shoot. Their organisation and discipline allows them to not split damage or straggle and thus contribute to holding the field. Fleet role ships actually play their part, in lowsec HICS n DICS are just uber versions of T1 with a resist profile worth the pricetag. In a sov battle they can hold enemies under damage or slow them down enough to change the course of the day. So you're trolling or ignorant, there is no comparison to be made. The idea that snake implants cannot be lost in lowsec is also flat wrong. Smartbomb rokhs and proteus very often wreck 2bn pods on lowsec gates. It's the fart-joke of pvp. Lowsec pvp is without consequence higher than losing a pos scratching at a skinny moon.

Sounds like Null tears to me. We have it so much harder. /tear
You have like 1000 or more people to come running to help whenever you have all those issues. Lowsec corps generally are on their own. In null, you get station camped, then the intelligence channel is full of cries. "HALP" "HALP" And a few hundred players come to your rescue.
In LS or NPC null, you get station camped. You are on your own, or maybe you can call a few people to your aid, but nothing close to what is available in sov null.
LIke shahfluffers said, it's all tradeoffs, but any cries that one is more "real" than the other is just myopic.
Players that like LS would probably enjoy NPC null.
Oh, and all this talk about LS = complete safety for implants. Whatever. Bombs aren't the only way to take out pods.

Nullsec isn't more dangerous just because there are bubbles. Every space has it's unique risks and styles of gameplay and threads based on claiming others have it easier is just chest beating, yet go and look at your own killboard: 92 losses with 1428 kills. Risk mitigation seems just fine.

"Easy mode/Hard mode" PvP is more dependant on you than the security of the system you're fighting in. You could be in nullsec with 200 of your closest friends fighting another man and his 200 friends, you could be in lowsec in a solo battleship fighting a 10 man gate camp. It could also be the other way around, all depends what you're doing really. |

It's because, like everyone who is successful at pvp, you mitigate the risk of loss to ensure you have the greatest chance of getting the kill while not dying.
The net result is the same. The risk you are facing in your pvp is not all that extreme. Your own stats show that. Certainly no higher than others face in lowsec in their pvp. Nullsec can be every bit just as much pvp on "easy mode".

My point is that I have been hearing for the past 6 months how low-sec PvP is the best form of PvP from all these low-sec dwelling residents. My goal of this post was to state the differences and how low-sec PvPers have a distinct advantage from a risk mitigation stand point. |

i think you heard wrong, lowsec is the "best" place to PvP not the best "form", especially in Gal/Cal FW warzone, you just need to undock to pew. risk aversion is relative, although we prefer small ships (and therefore cheap) we lost a bunch of them in a day, after all, FW is a war of attrition.

I can also undock and PvP in fountain. There are 7 different hostile alliances within a 7 jump radius of HQ. But I get what you're saying. FW is fun with that regard especially if all you want to do is log in, undock, and PvP. My situation is hard to find most places in 0.0. I used to do the amarr/minnie fw where the HQ for both sides was 2 jumps apart. |

Being in a big fleet, shooting lots of structures, all these things and more add up to the typical nulseccer's 90%+ success rate. Meanwhile, if you're solo in low, and doing better than 50% success rate, there's little chance that some nulsec fleet tramp is going to get the better of you. At least, not without a hundred of his buddies.
Sometimes, the risk is its own reward, but there is a big difference between risk mitigation, and risk aversion. I suggest you actually spend some time solo in lowsec before you call it 'easy mode'.

A legit debate?
You post an antagonistic OP that essentially belittles the average lowsec PVP, and severely underestimates the above average one, with little more than a personal attack on any lowsec PVP'er's ability and/or prowess, and you expect a legitimate debate? You honestly expect people to consider you worth taking seriously?

Parking a ship in the path of a known pod-travel trajectory is not 'catching' anything. The only pods you're actually legitimately catching in lowsec are idiots, newbies, and afk'ers.

I like low sec and made the move because i like small or solo pvp and also like to dock and take a pee when ever i like, one of the reasons i thought the change to fw docking rights in low sec (strangely not in high sec, instead useless navy) rather annoying and overlooked for those that risk their ass in low sec.
implants being safe is a myth, theres still lag, fast lockers and smart smartbombers to eat your HG set.
Id really like to see an increase in the number of people in low sec beyond a failed and forgotern faction war. Make the belts more attractive, make sites faster to run and more profit (big flaw in fw is sitting like a duck in a plex for 15 minutes is one DUMB thing to do for a few lp imo (RIP fw after inferno)
stop your whining and either pvp/pve in low sec or dont, for those that live there - we have fun amongst ourselves with 1/1000 the drama that 0.0 is.

So, should Eve only have one type of Pvp? Hi Sec, Low Sec, Null Sec, or WH only?
Or should Eve have multiple types where the rules are different and players with different RL situations can find a place to play the way they want that doesn't interfere to much with their RL obligations?
I say we have multiple ways, since there are many different RL situations you can find yourself in that are not conducive to some of the more demanding Pvp types.
PS: Btw, we all know the only people that can truly support Null Sec game play are of the Neck-Beard variety of the parental Hobit-Hole basement dwellers with a dash of Vampirism.

By your own logic killing pods is killing pods, regardless of the method employed. |

lawl OP thinks pods are only killed by smart bombs in low. Trust me you get pods all the time down here people have always been ******** at bailing. -10 life is Eve on hard mode. Low > null by far. |

I didn't say it wasn't. I said, 'catching' and 'waiting along their route' are not the same thing. A 'catch' implies a chase, and a chance at evasion. I never said anything about the legitimacy of the kill. You really should try to read things accurately before you comment on them, lest you accidentally (intentionally?) misrepresent someone's position. It's quite intellectually dishonest.

Is putting a bubble on a gate and blapping whatever comes through considered hardmode? The mechanics are different but I wouldn't say one was any easier or harder than the other. |

On the pod question: one can just go to zKillboard - look up capsules, click losses. It's pretty simple really.
Last 7 days; fair mix of high, low, null in the top 10 - you can lose a pod anywhere. Those of us that are -10 are catching pods daily, I think I only every bothered to smartbomb one, ever. I don't know if he operates in null but we also have Santo, even the most hardened pirate has him on a watchlist.
Also, nice bait OP.

The thing about lowsec is the Sec Loss. The reason your pod is safer is because of the severe Security Status hit if you blow one up. Unless you are fine being permanently red in highsec you have to grind it back up and pick your targets. Gate and station guns are not much of a problem anymore since if you warp away and come back they stop shooting, but it means that you cant PVP anywhere near them in anything smaller then a cruiser. If in something that can laugh at there DPS, its really hard to engage in a "fair" or "good" fight because the person that shoots first is taking extra damage. Hence fighting on stations or gates mainly being piracy or tricking someone else to shoot first.
Lowsec is good for casual pirating or practicing gate camps on noobs in haulers dumb enough to ignore the warning message, Ive done a lot of that. The problem is that if other people show up it turns into a numbers game, almost like a tiny version of a blob. You and your friends (if any) are only top dog until someone else shows up, but thats common anywhere. Sometimes people will show up in a frig or something and ask if you want to 1V1 at the sun but its rare. Its even more rare that the hold to it and there friend thats been cloaked or docked in a Force recon all day (looking AFK) doesnt show up and help.
I wont claim to be an awesome PVP'er, I am good at flying my ships and understand things pretty damn well for someone with my experience (sparing with people from 2003), but the only reason my KDR is so stupid high is because I mainly hunt for sport and pirate things that I know I have a good chance of not dying against. Lowsec can be really fun because of the numbers game or just messing with people fir giggles that think they are "going to take over the system" (I love those people lol). You can do really well if you play smart, and lowsec is one of those places that favor the sly pilot that knows the area, but it is not easy mode. Its much harder in a lot of ways.
I actually miss WH PVP, and want to try some NPC Null. Find a spot that not too deep and recon the locals and have some fun. Somewhere I dont have to worry about sec status or safeties. But if you want "real" PVP in lowsec.. its way to random to be "easy" and if you base out of highsec, it can have it consequences.
