If eve should be a place where everyone can enjoy level 4 mission running and nobody bothers anyone else, then what game should my friends and I be playing? Believe me when I tell you that we've looked, and there are no games that give us the gameplay we want. We came to eve because of what it allows us to do and stay because there are no better options.
To those saying that allowing this sort of gameplay is a bad business model, the term you're looking for is product differentiation. Let's look at this argument under a different lens. You say that McDonalds sells the most food and makes the most profit of any restaurant on the planet so all restaurants should be McDonalds. You wander into a largeish non-chain restaurant and demand a Big Mac, only to be informed that this is the sort of quiet, intimate place where you might take your wife for some high quality french food. You start losing your mind and screaming that's not how you run a business and you'll take your pants off and **** on the patrons until you receive a Big Mac.
I think you're just in the wrong restaurant.

I'm sure some people kept going after their first hulk loss, but what about the second? Or third? Why keep playing after that point? It is logically in this regard that ganking must cause subscription losses of some sort.
The argument that you're making is that the only options are to quit or not quit. There is also the option where they get better at the game and don't lose a Hulk to suicide ganking because they tanked it, or mined aligned, or any of the dozens of suggestions put forth over the years to help avoid being suicide ganked.

There actually is a server where carebears can go and do whatever they want without being allowed to be PvP'd upon without their consent. I mean, it's still possible, but not allowed.
It's called Singularity.

There's ONE 3000 man corp.
There's 100 5 man corps.
Who the hell do you think the 3000 man corp is ward deccing? The 100 5 man corps!
They gave us the ability to form both a 1 man and a 3000 man corp, everyone in high sec is jut forming tiny corps, and they're suprised that all the tiny corps are war decced.
I feel like I'm the only person who sees this.
That 3000 man corp usually isn't deccing anyone. They're generally in nullsec doing whatever it is nullsec dudes do. I can tell you, as someone very involved in the wardec community, that most wardec corps are less than 10 actual dudes and most of them try to keep several hundred characters decced, whether that's a few large corps or many small ones.
There are exceptions, of course, but in the vast majority of cases the agressing corp is much smaller than the defending corp.

I'd actually argue that the low level highsec stuff needs a buff. Newbies really don't get paid enough.
