After reading your post I am beginning to understand why veteran players are so f*cking salty towards newcomers.
CODE and similar HighSec Space Gankers are just low-life bullies; no better and no different to the low-life that creates a false account on Face Book to bully someone online from their school or work place. - No. Bullies IRL can cause genuine physical/mental/emotional harm to people if they are allowed to. EVE is a game, and if you are experiencing serious mental or emotional distress from losing your pretend spaceship then you seriously need to see a psychiatrist.
EVE is just another means to interact with people...How you choose to do so is what defines the difference between playing and bullying. - Thank God we have you here to define what 'playing' EVE really consists of. I guess about half of the player base have been playing it wrong all this time!
People who pay to play eve make their own choice when it comes to how they wish to play EVE. - People who pay to play EVE know what they're getting into. When some cheeky mofo ganks your venture, he has made a choice about how he wants to play. When you undock in a poorly-fitted ship and get shot out of the sky, you have made a decision on how you wish to play.
Not everyone wishes to PvP or venture outside HighSec. Nobody's forcing you to PVP or leave high-sec. If you don't want to be ganked in high-sec, play smarter. Move to a different system, or fight back.
I personally know people who just like to log on once or twice a week...They donGÇÖt ask any interaction with low-life gankers that deliberately exploit the game mechanics to attack people in HighSec without a WARDEC. It's not 'exploiting the game mechanics' just because you don't like it - or do you actually expect pirates to issue WarDecs on every single target they come across?
At this point in time, NullSec is a far safer place to fly than any of the main HighSec trade routes, and CCP are blatantly guilty of creating this situation. NullSec is a 'far safer place to fly'? It sounds like you've solved your own problem here. BTW, I regularly fly the HighSec trade routes and have never encountered any problems. Like yourself, I'm in the Aus timezone.
If I am in a fleet and web my Corp mateGÇÖs freighter off a gate, I get an aggression timer that will not allow me to dock or jump through a stargate. I have done nothing wrong, but am forced to pay a penalty of 60 seconds. - Pretty sure stasis web counts as an offensive module (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and so activating it will naturally result in a cooldown timer.
A low-life ganker can attack and destroy billions of ISK worth of freighter and cargo belonging to someone who chooses to play EVE for their own enjoyment - You should be aware by now that gankers 'attack and destroy billions of ISK worth of freighter and cargo belonging to someone who chooses to play eve for their own enjoyment' for their own enjoyment.
...chooses to stay in HighSec and has no wish to be involved with PvP. EVE doesn't revolve around your wishes. The game focuses on PVP, whether you're dogfighting with other players, engaging in huge FW fleet battles, playing the market or even mining. It is a game about corporate competition. EVE was literally founded on and is centred on PVP.
You cannot even try to defend your freighter or industrial ship - You can defend yourself by having the sense to vary your mining locations, vary your shipping routes and by using the freaking scanner.
...it is an exploit; one that CCP is well aware of and as yet does nothing to fix and curb the bulling they knowingly allow in what is supposed to be the HIGH SECURITY play area of the game. - Shooting other players is not a freaking exploit. Doing it in HighSec is not a freaking exploit. You aren't supposed to be 100% safe anywhere once you undock, it's not that type of game.
Two years ago, it was normal to see 27 to 33 thousand accounts online in the Australian Time Zone. Now, two years on, IGÇÖm lucky if I see 17 to 20 thousand accounts. - I doubt those numbers (if true) are attributable to high-sec ganking.
People claim it is all the multi-boxers and bot miners out of the game. Really? My brother no longer plays GÇô 2 accounts; one of my best mates in WA no longer plays GÇô 2 accounts; a friend in Melbourne no longer plays GÇô he had 6 accounts; my son no longer plays GÇô 1 account.
They are just the people I know personally, but there are many others I know only through the game that no longer play, and every one of them quit EVE because the HighSec ganking - [CITATION NEEDED]
...not just of freighters, but the stand over tactics of CODE bulling miners into paying for a permit to mine in HighSec. - So pay for a permit you degenerate
Personally, I donGÇÖt believe the mechanic should change that allows someone to target and shoot someone in HighSec without an active declared war. It is a conscious decision on their part if they choose to be a bully. The current penalty makes a complete joke of the term GÇÿHigh Security SpaceGÇÖ. - Compared with lowsec and nullsec space, highsec is indeed 'high security'.
The term 'high security' does not mean what you think it means. HighSec is not a safe zone, bad things can still happen. People are not 'bullies' for ganking you, scamming you, shooting you and taking all your sh*t, or generally being annoying.
Ganking is not the equivalent of creating a false FB profile to bully someone, and to consider blowing up someone's pretend spaceship equivalent to dealing real harm to someone takes some serious mental gymnastics.
It's been said before and I'll say it again; if you want an easy game, there's always this.
When you decide to embrace EVE, it will be here waiting for you, gankers and all.

Not only this, OP wants CCP to change the mechanics of EVE itself, because 'muh feelings'.
