Then Turning Jita into 0.5.. 
Naw, if weâre gonna mess with players make it a 0.4âŠ
Oh and btw this new region comes with indirect nerfs to gankers. They are making new gates that will cut some of the 0.6 between Jita and Amarr.
i donât think gankers would even necessarily target the new players.. maybe the ganker wannabes would be the ones to target the new players just cause they donât like the idea of exordium, like a lot of people posting here.
What are you talking about? I didnât say anything about new players.
CCP is adding new gate connections (opposite that game needs) that allows to skip some of the choke points for everyone. As a side result it makes highsec Jita-Amarr route shorter and avoids all 0.6 (as there werenât 0.5 already between Minmatar and Amarr space.

Youll just have to wait until it all settles out after the release. Youll have to actually put in a little work to find where your new hunting grounds will be. Youll adapt just fine like the rest of us.

We always adapt. I am just stating a facts.
If Gheth and other 0.6 are not on the route, then the ganks will happen in Eradan and Bagodan. It will require to PLEX/sub more accounts, which is probably the real intention behind it from CCP, but even if we would have to pay them from our own pockets we will.
Im not a pvper in this gameâŠso i have little to no knowledge of it with the exception of being popped during wardecs. Im also not a ganker, so i also have no experience in shooting fish in a barrel either.
But please enlighten me why a slightly changed route because of an expansion is forcing you or anybody to plex/sub more accounts.

CCP reminds me of Hollywood executives sitting in a boardroom trying to manufacture the ânext big hit.â
Like Hollywood, they seem to have lost touch with the people who actually knew how to make the thing good in the first place.
Sure, Hollywood can still produce a financial monster like Zootopia 2, which pulled in about $1.87 billion worldwide. But that mostly proves the point: safe IP, predictable formula, broadest possible audience, and heavy reliance on children and nostalgia.
That is not creative confidence. That is risk management.

They should not route new players through Uedama.
That being said, CCP should loosen its grip on our interaction here.
Their latest trailer literally shows someone getting shot in the face in a business setting.
And donât even get me started on WiS, then backpedaling on Captainâs Quarters.

There is a reason why the ganks happens in specific systems. Beyond the obvious âit is a choke point that most players need to fly throughâ. It is called CONCORD response time. The higher the security status of the system, the less time we get before CONCORD ECM our ship(s).
The new route between Minmatar and Amarr seems to avoid all 0.6 systems without even making it a longer trip. In fact it takes less jumps than before. This means that the next best systems we can gank are 0.7. The difference in CONCORD response time between 0.6 and 0.7 is 4 seconds. 4 seconds equals to 2 shots from Catalyst. If we now need to use lets say 20 catalysts to kill 3x Expanded Caroghold Freighter in Gheth, if the gank happens in 0.7 that will mean we will need eother 5more toons in Catalysts or mix some t2 Taloses in between. (math behind it: in 0.6 Catalyst could shoot 10 times, if the freighter dies to 200 shots, in 0.7 the same amount of ships will do 160 shots, so with 8 shots per character that is 40/8 = 5 more alts in catalysts needed). But the 20 calatyst is not acurate number, might be more.
Game mechanics working as intended. 
The route should be 1.0 the entire way with no stoplights!!!

Yes. Antigankers will not stop crying until that happens.

Ganker tears are always the saltiestâŠ
You mean an education reply to @Christine_Creed who specifically asked why would that be?
Sadly, I was able to hold my tears when writing it. But it was close, the nostalgia of ganking in Niarja (0.5) on original Jita-Amarr route came to me when I was writing it 
.
A ganker tear by any other name would smell as sweetâŠ
