tl;dr If its worth fighting for, its worth defending. No smaller entities will stand a chance at making isk in null-sec like they used to, making the space even more small-entity unfriendly.
CCP, you really haven't thought this through at all. In these past few months you'd become so much better at doing the right thing for the community as a whole, that i'd been cautiously optimistic regarding the changes to anomolies. Now the blog is up, we get this rubbish?
I'm quite wound up at the moment so this probably won't be as eloquent/well thought out as i'd like, but hey, the blog/proposed changes weren't very well thought out either. Ugh where to ****ing start.
What you're basically missing is the fact that if the much lower trusec systems do indeed become "worth fighting over", the big alliances will have them in seconds. As it is currently, any 0.0 system can be useful with some TLC. Install your upgrades, pay your sov fee etc, and bobs your uncle, you can rat and make isk to lose in alliance/coalition fleet ops.
You implement these changes, and all of a sudden regions like Geminate will become absoloutely useless. Why in gods name would an alliance bother with such a region, if there was no isk to be made? Noone will be fighting for the lower true-sec, because it'll already be claimed by the bigger powerblocs, who will be able to repel any and all attacks you may make against said systems with their standing super-cap fleets.
EVE, as a game, is about being a man, having balls, and having some fun. To get a chance at making isk, which, unless you're fan of noobship fleets, you need to have said fun, you'd need to either become a pet of, or join, the big alliances. You can't rat in blue space, it causes diplomatic drama unless you're specifically allowed to do so. You can't attack/try and take their space due to ****ty sov mechanics and the fact that they'll have bigger fleets.
How precisely do you propose that people will take this lower true-sec space? They won't be able to. If its worth fighting for, its worth defending. If its worth defending, you'll get blobbed to hell and back. The big/rich get bigger/richer, the smaller dogs get smaller.
No good will come of these proposed changes.
