It is true, that with increased grid sizes there is more of a warning, but how much do you mine or haul without getting ganked?
More than you would think actually, as I have lots to move around. It works pretty much the same as most things in this game where the antagonist party basically just has to find some one who gets careless or makes a mistake, leaving an opening for a gank. There's a reason why red and black frog don't complain about CODE.; the same reason extreme nullbears don't really get caught much; they know how to mitigate the risks associated with their profession and they know that the only kills antagonists get are the ones given to them. Use scouts, use webbing alts, pay attention, fit a tank, one or more of these will deny any chance of a gank happening. Honestly it's bad game play as there is no real back and forth; the antagonist is entirely reactive, waiting for a chance to strike.

At the very least the CONCORD response needs to be adjusted to the new grid sizes. Don't forget, the CSM does not dictate to CCP what should or should not be done. Have you read this blog: http://www.ninveah.com/2016/01/poisoned-well.html
or one of the many like it?
You want the game, and its players, to be able to sort out the good behaviors from the bad ones, rewarding the good, punishing the bad. It's honestly one of the few things that make the game unique. Considering a skillful and careful player can maintain extremely high levels of safety, I don't think CONCORD needs a buff or a change. You do not want to make it too hard to gank in high sec, nor too easy to remain safe. If anything I personally feel its too tilted towards the latter at the moment, but I am willing to hear it from both sides. I haven't ganked in HS in a long time, but at least from the antagonist side here, some people refused to be caught, while others simply let it happen - safety is a personal responsibility in this game, mechanics that do it for you removes part of what makes EvE, EvE. Basically, Its already to the point where you can be practically untouchable in HS, in my appraisal.
High sec is as safe as its players are informed.
Yes, I understand what the CSM does and is for. I would invite you to stop by my thread.
Vote Vic Jefferson for CSM XI
