I believe that the last estimate was that 80% of players live in HiSec.
It also appears to be true that they do not want to live in LowSec or 0.0 so trying to "force" them there by changing the game mechanics (ie: Level IV mission locations) will probably loose CCP paying customers.
For the folk who like to repeat that Eve is a PvP game ... well, it was but, it is very clear that 80% of paying customers prefer HiSec so, let's add more content and regions to HiSec ... they are the bill-payers. More revienu means more development all regions.

God, this tired old argument.
80% of characters in hi-sec does NOT, repeat NOT mean that 80% of players want to be hi-sec exclusively.
One possible interpretation is that many 0.0 players come to hi-sec to make ISK, for instance. Like I do.
Which is, you know, kind of the point of this thread.
"Tired old argument" That's so cute, I will try not to make the mistake of cluttering the issue with facts any more.
But it must be clear, even to you, that because those 80% DON'T PLAY THE WAY YOU WANT is no reason to change their game enjoyment.

Way to miss the point, Bison. Those 80% might or might not be playing the game Malcanis wants. That's not the point. The point is that none of us know how those 80% wants to play the game, so they are a non factor, and the argument is moot. I don't suppose that would ever enter your thick, rose-colored skull though.
"Rose-colored skull" good one Max! lol
But seriously, I do not think that because we may not know how that 80% wants to play makes them a non-factor or the argument moot. I say this because it would appear that a "vocal minority" who post fervently in the forums would like to change how those other 80% want to play for no other benifit than their own.
Maybe that begins to explain my point better ... |

Sure, i think I get your point.
You don't like them playing the game the way they choose because you think it's too easy. 
Personally, I make much more ISK being in 0.0 than I ever did in Empire. More risk, sure ... but more reward.
