Didn't CCP just add a bunch of new 10/10 complexes a few months ago? I doubt they have any plans to remove them any time soon.
I like that the complexes are static, they can be a large reliable revenue stream for a corp or alliance provided they fight for it. Controlling a high level complex is just as important as holding a conquerable station system, and fought over just as much.
The complexes also provide more variety between regions. The amount, type and difficulty of complexes in each region are big factors in what makes that region unique or valuable.
I don't think that complexes need to be removed, but there are some tweaks that need to be made. They should definitely be harder to farm than they currently are.
- Remove 2/10+ complexes from highsec. The amount of drama that I have seen caused from people running the more valuable complexes in highsec is amazing. Key-farming, using alts to steal other peoples keys, popping someone elses wreck and getting concorded to prevent them from getting a key, etc. People should be allowed to fight over complexes, instead of racing each other under concord protection.
- Stagger spawns. Right now the complex spawn timers reset at downtime, meaning an overseer with a 17 hour respawn timer would respawn at 12:00 and 05:00 every day. Change this so the spawn times would be 12:00, 05:00, 23:00, 16:00, 09:00 etc preventing the same 5 people from simply logging on at the same time twice a day to farm like clockwork.
- Disallow the overseer respawn while someone is on grid. Prevents farming, nuff said.
- Disallow cloaking in overseer grids. Would prevent someone from greifing a complex by leaving a cloaked ship on an overseer grid preventing its respawn if previous rule was applied.

I think 0.0 space should be populated with more static content to fight over be it complexes, 0.0 Cosmos, purchasable Agents for Conquerable stations/outposts, Gas Clouds or something completely new.
There should be more to identify a region to make them unique other than the type of rats and trusec/layout of systems.
