We've been through this again and again and it comes down to some people getting ****ty about the fact that people who've chosen not to PvP don't run the same risks and should therefore be beaten with wet spaghetti and have their L$'s taken off them.
I fail to see quite why this is an issue and its yet to be explained by EvE's fabled economist whether it is an issue or not.
If you move all L4's to low-sec people won't do them and they'll switch to L3's. After a year, the whine will start about moving L3's to low-sec as people are getting far too rich off of chaining them in their Ishtars.
If we'd like a true reflection of risk/reward then plexes should be nerfed into oblivion, moon minerals made finite, ratting spawns made much more rare and asteroid belts made virtually impossible to find.
What fun that'll be...............
Sovereign alliance space is just about as safe as it gets for some players and I think its a little laughable that they're preaching about some of the most inoffensive players in the game from the comfort of their over-upholstered armchair that's been paid for by 24/7 ratting and dyspro moon mining and we all know how hugely dangerous they are. |

All the amateur evoloutionaries who misquote Darwin and demand that people 'adapt or die' miss the irony present in their statement.
Its them, who in continually asking for the nerfbat to be swung, who are in essence demanding that CCP change others gameplay to suit their own playstyles. Their failure and/or unwillingness to adapt is their hallmark.
High-sec should be safer, its high-sec ffs. By definition it should be a place where people can learn how to play the damn game and play it in their own way. A place where immersioneers can get their kicks and where players who don't want to play pos-ping pong, blob-wars, lag battles or PvP chest-beaters can dip in and out when they want.
L4's are nowhere near as profitable as 0.0 mining, ratting and exploration, if they were people would be battling over low-sec mission hubs not dyspro moons. You can make more money in 20 minutes ratting than the best high-sec L4 which takes twice as long to comeplete.
Imagine ratting in a system deep in your alliance territory, now that's virtually risk-free.
There's no question of game balance to address here it much more a question of people looking to boost low-sec so there are more PvE fits to take advantage of.
Personally I mission when there's no-one else in corp chat and I like to go looking for people to shoot when there are and I've never felt that high-sec/low-sec L4's were a pernicious and destabalising influence on the purity of the great game that is EvE.
I just wish CCP and others would leave well alone for 5 minutes so I can play the damn game I orginally signed up for.
