Yes, there are new players and people in unfortunate circumstances who play, but you can't know which of these people are telling you lies in order to try and get out of a sticky situations and you often can't tell the difference between someone who's a terrible communicator because they're 13 or just dumb.
Your assumption has to be that every player in the game is equal. If information presented to you later makes you change your mind, then fine, but you should be aware that people will say pretty much anything to you in order to try and get out of a sticky situation.

The game will be much better off without them. AND the whole scamming plex thing has gotten out of control IMO. Sure, those of us who have been around don't pay attention to them so why are they there? The only person who will fall for one is a noob, otherwise they just contribute to the local spam overload in trade hubs.
I assure you that people many years into this game still do incredibly stupid things.
But this opinion you have about scamming, ganking, and so on, does it apply to only noobs? Are more experienced players fair game, in your opinion? If so, how would you define a noob? Keep in mind that this definition has to avoid being gamed in order to confer protection to more veteran players.
If, for instance, all accounts under a certain age or SP couldn't be scammed, I would use alts that fit that description to do all my business. In fact, I would probably use those alts to scam other people in a way that could be played off as ignorance.

They don't prohibit suicide ganking noobs. They prohibit suicide ganking noobs in the newbie starter systems.

Its easy to define a noob. A kid who wants to sell a PLEX his mom got him and who doesn't know how to contract it. That is by definition a noob, and someone that needs a bit of direction.
Okay, so anyone who is a kid that wants to sell a PLEX his mom got him is a noob. Is there anyone else that is a noob? How can you confirm that this person is a kid? Most kids online are instructed to not tell anyone they're a kid. And if kids are going to get special consideration, what's to prevent someone like me from pretending to be a kid?

Also, this probably isn't a game you should let your kid play.

Mistah, are you actually argueing that the tank or dps of a ship should be tied to price? Are you saying that it should take 20 10m isk ships to kill a 200m isk ship?
And you expect this will somehow help little old 8m-isk-per-hour bot aspirant miner against active players who actually *do* things?
