This is ■■■■■■■■. There are less risk in null than in anywhere else.
EDENCOM is still up a total of 16 systems + four Blue Star systems over the Kyber’s menial two Blue Star systems that they have captured.
And here we go again, assuming that rules are the same for both sides…
It’s rather pathetic to be so smug about how the side which is favored by game mechanics ends up succeeding more often than not.

Zorro this isn’t really at you because a lot of people say the same thing as you:
If there is really less risk in null than anywhere else in Eve, then why don’t players that want less risk go to Null? (serious question)
Asset safety is a fascinating system, if you think about it. With the recent changes, I come up with the following:
-
J-Space has no asset safety, same as always.
-
Casual players in highsec cannot count on asset safety anymore, due to the fundamentally casual nature of highsec gameplay.
-
Organized nullsec groups have extremely reliable asset safety, due to the high degree of discipline and attention to detail required to operate there and effectively harvest the potential of nullsec.
“Nullsec is the safest space” is an aphorism that has lost most of its bite. Nullsec isn’t very dangerous precisely because the people that live there are extremely good at managing risk. In highsec, there are people in 10+bil ships just autopiloting around like fools.
I think there are a lot of players that go to null precisely because they do realize that the risk/reward ratio of null is highly, highly slanted in nullsec’s favor.

While a Limmed system right in the gank pipeline would be hilarious, and much enjoyment of wailing and gnashing of the teeth of both hauler and ganker alike, I strongly suspect that most limmed systems are going to be highsec dead ends so that trig content is easily available but not farmed to death like highsec incursions. Lowsec pockets peppered through highsec is not entirely a bad thing. Anybody remember Amamake in the early days?
You’re about to get some carebear death threats.

Not if they quit because “unfair” first
In fact it’s the opposite of a bad thing.

Which is even better , actually
Please explain the benefits of a system in Final Liminality.
What a hilarious question.
pvp engagements limited to subcapitals, thunderdome of sorts
… and what an equally hilarious answer.
But please, I don’t actually wish to interrupt you two.
I want to see how this goes on. 
I think we will look back on this event with great fondness.
You mean the next will be even worse?

It has been a LONG time since these events were anything but a way to make money. Look at all the highsec carebears that are abandoning their mining ops and level 4 missions to go fleet up with other players. Sure, it has its faults, but compare this to the Guristas Easter Egg Hunt.
