You may even find out PvP-ship combat is far more entertaining than running missions 
True enough, but most(keyword here) of the PvP experiences in low-sec usually invovle several heavy hitting ships ganking one ship of equal or lesser value/strength/skill/whathave you. Not always true, but when you loose a 350/sec regen passive-tanked drake to 3 BS's, 2 BC's, and 3 cruisers, that still hurts the wallet. Of course, in the case I just mentioned, I knew I stood a chance of getting popped while out in low-sec. I can recover from that loss, but it does suck, and it is hard, and when trying to recover from a loss like that, you really CAN'T do it in low-sec, because if you're already down, it's very hard to get back up while operating out there.
One thing most of you have to remember, is NOT everyone has 32+ mil skillpoints. When you're saying these things to people who may've only been playing 6 months, and are barely able to properly fit&skill a certian ship, and have worked most of that 6 months just to get into it, we're talking about a very BIG loss of resources for that character. And if you're going to push the low-sec/0.0 thing as a viable option, that's fine. I've been around the game long enough to have gotten into a bit of everything. But at least don't just sit there saying "stop complaining about high-sec being less rewarding if you don't want to go into low-sec" and start giving some VIABLE advice on how to make the most profit from high-sec work since you obviously know how to do it.
Or are you afraid that you're going to find your super-secret-squirrel-hidden-complex in Jita is going to suddenly be farmed heavily the next time you go there? Greed is what makes it hard on those players who want to just go out and enjoy the game without having to deal with scammers/pirates/alliance wars/griefers, because all that's left to do then is mine/mission/rat in high-sec. Where most of the time you find so many cans anchored at belts you can't even move for 30 seconds after warping in.
Now, for all of you who think this thread is full of "whiners", just think, when CCP gets around to messing with YOUR nice litte corner of the game, how are you going to react? Are we going to see a thread where you complain and moan about it? Probably. But that's okay, just go and buy your ISK like normal, since I really doubt you can manage to play in anything but the highest-end ship and gear, and after a few losses, I really doubt you have the wallet to actually be coming back in a faction BS with all faction/officer/deadspace equipment 5 times in a row. |
