Neither high nor low/null is perfect, but those of us that choose to pvp in highsec have our reasons. While I'm sure some *are* hiding behind Concord's skirts, the fact is that it is (or rather was) much easier to find pvp in highsec. Especially the type that doesn't involve 300 man Drake fleets.
The fact of the matter is that I just plain old don't like enough people to fight 300 man drake fleets. And if I did, all that high-octane science I've done is for naught, as I'd just be orbiting the anchor and shooting the primary.
The other alternative is a wandering :wulfpax: waits until they stumble upon some dumbass soloing around and not paying attention to their intel channel. Or gate camping.
There are whispers of rumors of people who get intense, fun, small gang on small gang nullsec pvp, but I can think of maybe one outfit that supposedly does, and that's Hydra Reloaded. On the other hand, I can name a half-dozen highsec outfits that do. Yes, sometimes you stomp newbies into the dirt and laugh about it, but sometimes you get good fights.
Stop thinking that because you are an instrument of the will of DBRB's dog you are somehow better than the very high-speed individuals in outfits like Moar Tears or Break-a-Wish Foundation.
And the OP brings up a very solid point that our way of life really is drying up. Many outfits of the sort named above are just filling skill queues and playing the DotA 2 beta, hoping Inferno brings us the rain to soak our parched ground and feed our withered crops.
Except the rain is fights. Or possibly tears. And the ground is our killboards. And the crops are... uh... erections? Listen, it's not a perfect analogy. |

Wait they pay you now? I thought they still kept you locked up in the cells and fed you nothing but water and H+íkarl.
I've seen The Secretary. I know people will fix/make clerical errors in exchange for somewhat sexually charged abuse. |

1) Highsec wars would have the potential to escalate rapidly with friends and allies of corps joining into the conflicts which would generate a lot more targets for everyone to worry about - this benefits both the combat corps (more pew pew!) and the non-combat corps (more friends with guns to protect or distract from the bad guys)
2) People would pause and think just a wee bit more before entering a war because they will not know exactly what they would be getting into, and how far things would escalate out of control.
I am very pro-this. Doing more of your homework should always benefit you more. And biting off more than you can chew is hilarious. Even as a dude who's done it once or twice. A bit stressful at the time, but hilarious and fun in retrospect. |

Any non douchebag would also call it that. The underlying problem is clearly that New Eden is full of douchebags.
I would add that further to this, we're not being given a long enough leash. |
