*** STOP WHINING ABOUT A VALID GAME MECHANIC THAT YOU DON'T LIKE OR CANT ADAPT TO ***

Adapt. Stop begging the devs to ruin the game for everyone else since there's portion of the game that YOU don't agree with.

How is manipulating the insurance payout system a valid game mechanic?
High sec ganking is in NO WAY manipulating the insurance system. Pend insurance offers blind loss contracts. That is what you pay for. It doesn't matter how you lost the ship.
It's just something that some people don't like. Just like nanos. Just like cloaks. Just like Cyno-DD's. People ***** and moan until it gets changed and the rest of us are sitting around thinking "Aw hell. The devs nerfed X because of a bunch of poor sports whined about it until they gave in. Eve was really fun 3 years ago before they started doing that."
Work harder and devise a strategy to overcome your problem, just like the rest of the playerbase. If you don't want to get ganked in high sec, put your crap in a container, get yourself a tank, and work towards transports.
CCP already fixed hauler ganking. They gave you T2 industrials.

How would it ruin the game for everyone else? Inquisitive as to your thoughts on why his request would do this.
It's happened before. The players devise a strategy that is totally valid ingame. It's not an exploit, but a valid, working strategy, but it would leave some players at a disadvantage. The disadvantaged players whine and cry about it until the devs "fix" it (read: suckify the game).
Eve is about that strategy. It's about player interaction and new tactics. I've been hauler-ganked too. I've been nanophooned to death. I AFK cloak and have been AFK cloaked. - I learned to adjust my play style and come up with some sort of counter-tactic to this, just like everyone else.
Darwinism. It's how it was promised at the alpha stage, its what we got. Stop trying to change it 4 years into release.

Think about it, folks. Think about it really hard.
You perform a drive-by shooting and lead the police on a wild 2-hour chase against you. In the end, you take a corner too fast, panic, spin out and total your ride into a tree.
Good luck getting your car insurance to cough up some cash for you.
That's not even on point. Eve's just a game and the insurance contracts are (as i said) not based on the circumstances of your loss. The only reason REAL LIFE doesn't function with blind payouts like that is that insurance companies are out to MAKE money. This type of contract LOSES money.
If this were real life, PEND would be filing for bankruptcy on DAY ONE, as well as answering a LOT of questions to whatever local tax authority they fall under.

Well said and if you look at my employment history you will see I've been around since Beta before you preach about how the game has changed so much. I am not asking for empire ganking to be removed, in case you missed that in my original post. What i am asking for is to see if people think pirates should be able to attack you in a lossless challenge insurance plus what they get from you (loot or insurance not both). There should be concord like in the old days where you could actually challenge them and if you got away you headed to low sec for a few days to fix you sec status and headed back out.
Before we start a contest on who's been here longer, let's just simply agree that lately any time 10+ people pipe up and complain about something, CCP changes it.
A great example is Privateers. Here's a group of people who use a valid game mechanic to develop a play style to kick some ass, whether you like it or not. They band together and use this playstyle to become sort of an empire mafia.
And you guys ruined it.
I've already said it and I'll say it again. T2 Industrials. That should be the end of the conversation, yet it's not.
