the only thing wrong with 0.0 in my opinion is the current choke points, there needs to be different entry points and some of them need to gate deeper in to 0.0 rather than just a entry point.

I've lived in good regions (Fountain), and poor regions (Providence, Geminate and Syndicate). There is a definite difference in earning potential for ratters in these regions. I don't think anything needs to be increased in terms of rat spawns. Yes it takes a little more work than level 4 missions in Empire, but the potential rewards, such as officer spawns, make it potentially more lucrative.
As a more casual player, I can't put in all the hours that are needed to be successful in 0.0, so I prefer to run missions in Empire and participate in factional warfare. Both allow me to jump into the action right away and not have to worry as much about coordinating efforts with corp mates. Although, even in those activities, there is more reward in playing with more people versus solo. Missions go quicker, and flying in FW with people you know is better than with the unwashed militia masses.
Quit complaining and put some work into the game and you will be rewarded. Remember if it's made easier to make money, those who are already putting in the hard work to make the ISK will just make more too, and your lazy ass will still have less money than everyone else.

Ratting/mining in 0.0 is far superiour to empire mining/missions. But sure, if your area sucks hard. then thats too bad. Get a new one. Its no different than doing L1 agents instead of L4...
But dont tell me 0.0 is bad. Corp mate of mine easily make 100mil an hour ratting in 0.0. Try do that with an L4...
Rats also die alot faster.
And for mining. Its about 4x more profitable in 0.0.

Riiiight. Taking good ratting space in 0.0 is no different than grinding a bit of standing in Empire 
0.0 is fine if you're in a big alliance or powerbloc, and can put op infrastructure without worrying about being steamrolled and removed in a few days. Everyone else has the option of earning less than in Empire, or joining those big alliances.
There's simple too much crappy 0.0 space, just look at the map and see the vast amounts of alliance space that's all but empty.

That. Unless you have ofc acsess to under true sec -0.7 systems with low enough population density already present to be able to squeeze yourself into there.

0.0 is lucrative but not all of them, which causes competition between alliances in gaining their control, which is realistic. 0.0 is a raw field, and one should not expect anything more. Some are more lucrative for farming, some are not. It's up to you to be a strong corp/alliance to accommodate your ratters/miners in lucrative 0.0 systems.

Indeed. Been to 0.0 and tbh for a small corp your much much better off in empire running level 4 missions and mining veld in your hulk. 0.0 can have some very nice rewards but to grab them you really need a large corp that can reliably hold multiple systems and enforce your territory claims. Otherwise your just going to get blown up by the first nub griefer that scans you out.
Not true. I have lived in NPC 0.0 for 2 years now and my economy is doing fine, despite being in a small corp and a small alliance, not holding space, not ****ing around with POS and not flying capitals...
No moons, no mining - but a lot of fun and less junk in local.
It all goes with the fact that some people are simply better at thinking than others. Sorry, but the opportunities are there.

Heh.. should have said average carebear small corp then. Guess I should have also elaborated that my wee bit over a year in 0.0 was with 2 ratting recons a probing/salvaging/hacking cov ops and a transport. Was a blast getting through all the camps and all the fun in local about wtf was I doing in thier space by paranoid alliances. My favorite time was when this one guy stayed in system with me for days as I ran exploration sites and I fnally was able to crack his silence and get him to accept a convo. He was waiting for the cyno to drop it seems poor guy.  Good times indeed.. Tbh I don't think I'll have to actually make any moar isk for quite a while after that run. But it still stands that I could have made even moar isk using those 4 accounts to wtfpwn level 4 missions though I would have probably slit my wrists well before the year was up.
