Do you occasionally want to go looking for some PvP in lowsec, but don't do it because the sentry guns force you to use a big, expensive HAC, battlecruiser or battleship to survive them shooting at you?
Or
Are you a pirate that camps gates in a BS/BC when you'd rather being using something smaller, or a beginner pirate in a frigate and forced to look for noobs in the belts because the sentry guns would fry you?
Whichever question is more relevant to you, give me a yes or no please. I'm going to make a post about changing the sentry guns in the "Ideas" forum soon. Before I do, I want to see how many other people are frustrated by the lowsec sentry guns as they are right now.
As for me, my answer is "yes".
I pirate in a battleship most of the time and kill things while tanking sentries. I prefer it like this rather than running around in a small ship scanning stuff down for it to warp away. Although it is annoying when small things get by you all the time.

Without sentries lowsec would be 0.0.

In short no.
I myself can deal with bubbles in low sec if they help me combat the nanogangs, they're the real scourge of low sec not sentryguns.
That and the permabroken docking mechanics.
Nanogangs scourge of low-sec? I see more 'conventional' gangs then nano-gangs wherever I go in low-sec. And bubbles in low-sec is a truly idiotic idea: it'd make for almost impenetrable camps and we'd see a huge decline in low-sec traffic. It'd be like 0.0 without the rewards, really brilliant idea.
I see nothing broken about docking. If you want to fight, stop station camping.

Yall shoulda played eve on release, many low sec systems had no sentry guns but then people like m0o, spaceinvaders, palladins of the red skull, m3g4 and other unsavory types camped high traffic systems (of the day) like mara, passari, obe, hakonen, sarum prime all day long and people cried untill the dev's got in concord ships trying to diswade them from there wrong doings and eventually changed the game, and took away our fun.
sigh... thos were the days

Alright, thx.
I'm assuming the forum goes down while they're patching, so I'll make my post after it comes back.
We're discussing it already on SHC if you want to see what I have in mind. It definitely does NOT allow invulnerable, permanent gate camps. That's what we have already and my idea fixes that.

Yes. Sometimes I'm on a gate and I see a neutral or red and I would normally shoot them, but don't because my ship isn't sentry tanked.
But thats kind of their point. So good for them.

Sentry guns don't really stop ships with too weak a tank from participating in low sec gate camping - they just stop them from camping solo. Scout reports someone coming through, one gang member in heavily tanked ship grabs aggro from sentries by shooting up an alt or something, next 30 seconds the sentries focus fire on him. During this time you can tackle, scram/web the target with a smaller ship that got better locking time - people use sensor boosted recon and afs that aren't tanked to handle sentry fire but don't inta-pop either if the guns switch and start shooting at them. After that your gang mates take over the tackling and the smaller ship can warp away and repair. As a low sec pirate you just accept the fact that if you're in a smaller weaker ship you don't camp gates alone, and if you want to camp gates better do so with a small gang - and i wouldn't say that this is particularly frustrating.

You've obviously never been to Gusandall. As for not camping stations to PvP, I write that off as ignorance, you having been around what a few months...
From my understanding we'll have bubbles in low sec any day now with the Heavy Interdictors.
