Nothing wrong with low sec. Lived there a loooong time. I do most of my eve stuffs there. If you are too scared to go and watch your scanner / overview, then the problem is you, not low sec.
Things ive done in low sec many many times.
Mined ore
Mined gas
Exploration
Piracy
Industry
Ratting
Hauling
Trading
WoW is -----> that way.

IMHO:
There is no defence against a prepared gank gang. If you are fit for anything other than PvP you can at best hope to escape and that is extremely unlikely except in special setups in special places (like a shuttle at a gate). If you are outnumbered then you will lose 9/10 even if PvP fit.
If you are mining and a gang finds you, it is all over. Also, the low sec gateway gates with smart bombing gank gangs camping them 23/7 are a big reason not to go in in the first place. Solo low sec is a waste of time really, and if you get organised in a group, most join an alliance in 0.0 and skip the Jaspet...
It isn't fear as such, just the all or nothing nature of the lowsec game. You also spend all your time avoiding everyone - a pretty paranoid existence that a lot of people find annoying.
Covert Ops exploration may be one option, but even that is not a full time career for most folks - the tedium builds :)
IF a gang finds you... Scanner ftw?
Jaspet lol yea...thats right im mining jaspet in amamake...
I havent lost a ship in low sec outside of purposely seeking pvp in 6 months.
If you enter a place where people co-operate to kill you, you need to co-operate to survive, although im just as happy solo in low sec as i am doing corp activities.
High sec is for people who want to be safer, the risk in low sec is imo now balanced by the rewards. Alliances in 0.0 carry risks that people don't always associate as risks. Mainly:
Tied to a corp which in turn leaves you tied to the will of the alliance.
Loss of territory can result from spending time doing your "own" thing.
War targets in empire.
Losses are greater in 0.0, either due to logistics of refitting and time lost in a system lockdown to give but 2 examples
I make more isk, get more pvp and can do more things solo in low sec than either high sec or 0.0. On top of that I can go to 0.0 for whatever I want, with adequate planning/support. Low sec has variety, risk and benefits that the other 2 security bands do not. IMO it is a unique environment that rewards those that fit into topography.
