-Groups of people: Sure, a group of people stomping a single person is fair. A single person bringing in a larger group easily and instantaneously asks a player to assume every solo pilot not native to a system has backup zero systems away more than capable of destroying you. This is not conductive to gameplay. -Local tells you that there's one enemy, which mechanically should mean that you and your five friends could deal with it, easy, especially if there's no-one adjacent or within three jumps. -Often blops drops can complete their job unless you're piloting a seriously bling fit faction ship in the amount of time it takes appropriate response to warp from ready point (functionally impossible perfect universe assumption) on-grid. At that point they're warped off and unscannable. Little to no risk, especially since a covert ops ship has all the opportunity to size up the opponent. -Cyno jammers do not prevent covert cynos from working and prevent friendly operation as much as unfriendly operation. Definitely not a home field advantage. Other discussion. -A plethora of tactics and tools. Moreso there's the opportunity to warp off any time someone who's not blue enters the system. This isn't a solution to a frigate having five battleships fitted in a highslot.
-I'm not balancing a personal risk-to-reward ratio. I'm balancing the risk of a ship capable of destroying NPCs versus the reward of such activity versus the omnipresent risk of a single ship, worth about two to fourty million ISK taking you down with little to no risk to itself. That's simply not possible in hisec and there's far less risk for reward that's slightly less than average in null.
You're defending an attack strategy without counterplay by positing simply not being there in the first place as its counterplay.
Your whole argument really seems to be centered around an idea of fairness that really isn't applicable to Eve itself. Eve, moreso even than real life, is not fair. It is not generous or forgiving. It rewards the most prepared, and part of that preparation might be having friends on tap to drop on someone.
Eve is like an addiction; you can't quit it until it quits you.
