Yes and i asked "Why?"
What you think is not the reason to why you think it is.
So, maybe it helps if i rephrase my question to:
Why do you think the rewards aren't comparable to the risks at the moment ?
I mean ... you have a reason to think that, do you ?

So you either are able to read other peoples minds,
or are projecting your own thoughts onto others.
I can think of a few more reasons why people don't go to lowsec.
For example, because they don't want to get blown up.
This does not necessarily relate to the profit that can be had in lowsec,
because people could be too afraid to lose stuff.
Highsec is "safer", so why should people go somewhere it's less "safe" ?
Have you considered the idea that you didn't really think this through ?

Every one of them said they would gladly go to lowsec for the thrill and if the rewards were greater. Well, yes ... that may be the case, but have they also told you how much of an increase would make them go there ?
That could be a ridiculous amount ... and they'd probably still wouldn't do it, because ...
Quote:And that my friend is the problem. Do you not agree that if the rewards slightly outweighed the risks more people would go to low sec? No, because the same applies to nullsec. There are plenty of people who simply do not want to fight,
no matter how high the rewards are. Else we'd already have much more people in lowsec,
because of lvl5 missions, for example.
I never stated i know the "be all end all" reason to why people don't move to lowsec,
nor did i say that i know what other people think, unlike you did.
(edit: *lol* the quoting confuses me)

You can not mean lowsec is feeling well. I go there occasionally and often find myself alone in local, while the high sec system nearby has over 200 in local.
You may differ all you want and you can have your oppinion, but it's still not a fact, just your oppinion.
You really believe that nobody else came up with that idea before
and it that nobody would even take it into consideration,
if it had any chance of being the actual problem ?

No, this relates directly to the profit that can be had in lowsec. wether you are mining or ratting or doing missions your ship setups are differnt to that of pvp setups and industrial ships are sitting ducks. As against our ships being 'relativley' safe in high sec. Have you considered the idea that you didn't really think this through ?
So, people don't go to nullsec, because the reward isn't high enough ... right ?
There are empty lowsecs i know, depending on the time of the day.
There are lowsecs i know, where carebears are around and there's no actual danger,
because those people simply don't shoot at you.
Then there are systems like the one i am in, where nobody shows up half of the day.
So why do you believe throwing more money at people would help them realizing that
empty systems don't pose a threat ?
Do you believe that rewards need to be high enough so that people can cover their losses ?
If so, how would that make actual sense ?
Have you considered that lowsec isn't actually dangerous at all, if one is able to watch out for himself ?
Throwing more money into it wouldn't change the fact that those who are unable to take care of themselves ...
... simply will get killed ... and as that is :effort: ... people don't go to lowsec.
This POV, at least, has some logic behind it ... unlike "rewards are too low", which simply takes the player out
of the equation and puts all the blame onto the game ... which is quite typical nowadays.

Not wanting to argue with what you said,
just want to point out the fact that there really only is a small risk
if one is able to actually watch out for himself.
As people get ganked in highsec mostly because they don't do that,
it's no wonder that there aren't more people in lowsec.

I'm really glad that CCP knows that throwing money at a problem doesn't solve it.
I'm also glad that most highsec'ers will not give a dime about higher rewards in lowsec,
because we lowsec residents will surely not move an inch for greedy bastards ...
... hence it doesn't change anything.
TL;DR for the simple minded:
SURE ! GIVE US MORE ISK ! WE'LL TAKE IT AND YOU WON'T GET IT !
:)
