No, we very much want no Exordium at all.

If there’s no real option for PVP-free living, then choosing not to take that option isn’t very exciting.
It’a a tutorial zone.
It’s intended to be unattractive for veteran players.
Forcing veteran players to avoid PvP-free zones isn’t smart.
If you were, you would be able to argue why, instead of spamming one-liners.

It’s a training ground - that’s the point. It’s supposed to encourage capsuleers to venture into the unknown and make their mark in the skies once they get their footing of how the game works.
Also, it helps with having to babysit old newbie systems from gankers.

A region with little to offer and high taxes is basically just an obstacle

Do you want to maintain new players? This is how FC does that, or at least it’s a start. We need to keep the wheels turning while the skill-gap and expertise widens.

It offers new players a safe space to learn the basics of EVE in without immediately entering the competitive part of the game.
The low ecomomic value and high taxes are intentionally there to discourage veteran players from competing with newbies in this zone. It helps the new players.

The safe zone already existed, it was just manually managed by GM’s, this is just formalizing that with game mechanics.
With these changes there is more reason then ever to leave the safe space sooner, and more importantly will let people to get to where they people they are playing with are quicker.

I got can baited and destroyed about 10 minutes into making my account.
I’m sad new players will no longer experience that.

You are right. The safezone is bad by design, because it is not safe enough as it seems:

Well GMs do get your toon back from there if you ask them. Even if the name is already taken they can do it.
Nah apparently its a faction warfare oversight, it will probably be fixed

I’m inclined to think that’s their ultimate goal but not the main reason for implementing a secluded ‘Safe Space’ for new players..
