For a very long time, Providence held a unique position in New Eden. People that found out about the existence of EVE Online would generally start their null sec experiences in Providence, after having tried out high sec (mission runners, high sec mining and other general newbie carebear shit). Some people stuck around in Providence. Most leave to seek different levels of and other types of gameplay. Amongst the general nullsec playerbase, it’s commonly heard that ‘nobody gives a shit about Provi’. There are lots of reasons to not give a shit about Provi: it has a shitty security status (bad for ratting), it has a station in almost every system (bad for sov warfare-doing powerblocks although this is the least of the problems) and it has shitty moons (terrible for industry).
