It pretty much will be. Look at womrholes
WHs are doing fine.
(Except for T3 and mat nerfs, which helped NS economically)
Is that you, Teckos…?
Go back to HS ganking and leave the forums too lmao you failed at both
How would you know.
If you cant handle living in Player NS with delayed Local then you probably shouldnt live there, and live in HS instead for instant Local.
If you cant handle hunting in null with insant local then you probably shouldnt hunt there, and live in hs instead for easy ganks
edit: you should finally realise that anything you say applies to you too
Hunting in Player NS currently involves just afkers/crap bots/idiots.
Its too easy for prey to simply warp to safe when an unknown appears on Local intel.
You are hopeless. 
Do you agree EVE is a PvP based game?
YES! Do you agree EVE should have some skill behind kills?
Yes.
I also agree that avoiding PvP while PvEing should involve more than just warping to safe when someone unknown instantly shows up in Local chat.
Then go back to the office and come up with a better idea, because this one is bad. It would make hunting farmers luck based instead of skill based.
How would delaying Local intel make hunting luck based, rather than skill based?
Do you not know how hunters ascertain their potential targets location even now?
Uhh ohh dude please explain how exactly hunting works because i dont know! Then please explain how to rat with a vni and make dank ticks i beg you 
Delayed Local has only one systemic effect.
All it does, is delay the update to the Local chat list.
This applies equally to both the players currently in the system, and players entering it. (and leaving it)
And it is completely unnecessary for anything. It offers no benefits and only downsides.
You do not achieve this with delayed local. You only achieve this with more people in space and more people in EVE. Delayed local with remove people from EVE, causing even less interaction and PVP. Great work.
Instead, what you need to do is prohibit the use of tools that check chat logs from files. Not only will this ban people out of EVE who have no place in EVE anyway, it will also stop the support for AFK behavior.
It works well. Proofs: number of kills and amount of destroyed ISK every month.
And why it should be “delayed local” and not something different?
Oo.
Something different such as what?
Sorry to say but no matter what changes, it wont help you.
Both hunter and prey, would incur the (for example) 30s delay to get Local chat intel.
Its the same for both.
