Suicide ganking took some time to evolve, I'm sure the counter gank process will take time too. Counter ganking will never really take off because there is no reward for doing it successfully. Helping a freighter/miner get away doesn't add to a killboard, doesn't give ISK, hell, you can't even prove you successfully did it if you aren't recording the video. People as a rule don't do anything if they get no reward from it other than a warm fuzzy feeling of doing something good
True. But if you KNOW that your stuff is in that freighter (see: you are doing a corporate move to a new location or you are an industry/trading corporation and assist each other in various ways) then "warm fuzzies" aside... there is a "reward" of sorts for helping a friendly freighter not get ganked; your stuff arrives at its destination.
This is why competent industrialists/haulers for "good" PvP corporations hold a lot of clout. If they ask for help, you had best show up and help them as they may be ferrying that "special something" you asked for!

Don't worry about suicide gankers. They are very rare and if you can fit and fly a mining ship reasonably, they are mostly harmless. Your ship will have paid for itself long before you have someone of their stripes show up and even if you are patently unlucky, there are HiSec mining corps that actively hunt suicide gankers as well as full anti-ganking patrols. Join a corp.
These guys have made a lot of enemies in HiSec so it's actually becoming a little safer to mine, at least from my observations. I used to see CODE ships on occasion when I flew around, now I rarely see them.
Your best defense is to learn how to fly combat ships and know that if a ganker actually succeeds against your mining ship, you can tag them and either use their own tactics against them to set traps or just avoid them. Do not let the whack jobs in EVE dictate your playstyle. Just be aware they exist, learn their tactics and fly smart... and always get even.
My friends killed around 600 billion ISK worth of ships last month.
Just going by the number of mining ships I sell, there are still a hell of a lot being lost. (I overwhelmingly sell them in one specific region which accounts for about 10% of highsec mining activity and I do not monopolize the market there or even come close to doing so).
I support the New Order and CODE. alliance. www.minerbumping.com
