The last CrimeWatch update was so similar to the Ultima Online changes way back when that I'm almost certain CCP simply molded them to fit their game. Criminally flagging an aggressor makes him open to attack from everyone, providing a huge deterrent to aggressive behaviors without outright making them impossible.
The suspect flagging system simply requires a little more thinking about how you capture your prey. No longer are you safe just harassing one person. You have to get them to aggress you.
All this focus on harassing miners in hisec and complaining about hisec security mechanics is missing something. Since you raised Trammel in your long, pointless rant, you should pay more attention to why Trammel ruined Ultima Online: the main reason is that everything you could do in Felucca, you could also do in Trammel with no risk.
Let's have a look at EVE Online: can you do everything in hisec that you can do in lowsec or nullsec? No capitals, no bubbles, no reaction labs, no moon harvesting, certain ores are missing. So right there at the base of the economy, hisec is not going to become Trammel. How can you ensure that hisec doesn't devolve into Trammel? Encourage CCP to move all industry into player hands. There should no longer be instant refining of unlimited volumes of materials. There should no longer be copious quantities of manufacturing lines available at NPC facilities.
The Trammel-isation of hisec is not going to happen. Your fears are unfounded. The platform of James 315 is based on untruths.

I play this game with the assumption that everybody is out to kill me, especially the people that I've known for a few years through the game and call friend, because I'd certainly do it them. Friendship is being able to laugh about it afterwards.
Last time I went to the toilet while mining, I lost an exhumer. That was post-Retribution, and the gankers didn't loot or salvage anything. So ganking happens and the gankers do it for the lulz, not the profit.

Tell me more about how your gank fleet is too silly to have NPC corp pilots in Probes ready to loot and salvage.

Sorry Miss. I just can never figure out which threads are for the trolls only and which are not. That post from last week about "where do I troll now" kinda got me all confused.
Please forgive me!
