Edited by: RC Denton on 07/03/2008 19:16:04 I'm seeing a ton of threads about pushing carebears into low sec and 0.0. But it will never happen given the current condition of low sec and most of 0.0. The reason being is that when you go into low sec and also in large sections of 0.0 the risk goes way up while the reward is only marginally greater. Let's take lonetrek and the pure blind regions for example.
The majority of lonetrek low sec areas have little to no differentiation in ore types from high sec. There are a few systems with some nice "low sec" ore like hedbergite, but not very many. In addition the rats are only marginally better in terms of bounties. Yet when you go into low sec the risk goes way up. Gate camps, pirates in the belts, station camps, etc. The only real draw is the exploration sites which are by and large superior to the high sec ones.
The same holds true of pure blind and large regions of 0.0 space. Deep 0.0 is owned by large alliances, and that's a different story. If you want to deal with large alliance politics and BS then you can do quite well out there, but medium to close to empire 0.0 sucks. The best ore in pureblind is crokite, it exists only in one system. And that system is the most highly camped system in EVE. The rest of pureblind has jaspet, I.E. crapola. In terms of exploration sites it's about the same as low sec, and with alot of the exploration loot tanking in price (books, parts, etc) it's less of a draw than it used to be. Ratting is nice out there, but that's more of an occasional thing to do vs a lifestyle. People can take "weekend" trips to 0.0 to rat then head back to empire. There's no compelling reason to stay out there.
This is why the vast majority of people stay in empire. There's a large buffer of mostly useless space between Empire and the real treasures in 0.0.

No joke.
Most people can make plenty more money from Level 4 missions then pretty much anything (besides more level 4 missions) in low-sec and about half the 0.0 regions.
But apparently CCP LOVES for people to sit in empire and hoard **** all day.
The alternative? Boost 0.0 and low-sec for money making (NOTE: NOT nerfing lvl 4's), thus everyone has more isk + more people in low-sec and 0.0 which means....... MORE FIGHTS WOOT!.
But who would want that? Not CCP apparently

Same bull**** idea has been going around since before I started the game.. Where is this idea coming from? that CCP wants you to move out into 0.0 ? or low sec?
If ccp wanted you to move out to 0.0.. they wouldn't have it so you have to haul trade goods for pos from empire.. they wouldn't nerf carriers hauling capacity.. they wouldn't have completely ****** up the m3 sizes of modules (previously used to haul minerals thanks to compression) They wouldn't have racial isotopes.. etc.. etc.. CCP don't care where you live.. but they sure as hell don't want the majority of folks being completely independent of empire. The entire economy would collapse..
