This is not true, not entirely anyways. At that time alliances trying to get footing in null were based out of high and low sec, and it was often required for them to build up and move out into null in numbers because of the common tactic at the time of “killing alliances before they got in null”.
That being said, There was a massive and highly active mission/trade community then (I know I made 3.2 trillion isk in those days off trading). The community was highly active in high sec then, and in fact it was common to go to mission runners for locator agents and buy the service to track people.I’m sorry but i think at this p oint you have demonstrated that your opinion and position is purely from one angel.
here is a eye opener to you, The majority of people that play this game and others do not think like you. Just because you dont want to be in high sec does not mean others do not want to be there.
Thats the difference between us. I am able to recognize that everyone should have a section in eve they go to to do what they enjoy, because that means more population for eve, which means more options for players, which means more players and ultimately more income for development of eve (as well as more longevity).
You guys are so wrapped up in if you get to abuse another, or if others are doing what you want them to do that you are blind to the fact that people out there dont think like you, and dont want to be part of your form of game play.
Lastly,
As i have said many times before we tried your (ie the people with opinions like you) approach, and it has not yielded any results in recuperating people in eve, any since you dont like it anyways, there is no foul on changing it!
