Let's not, nothing is wrong with the mechanic's of suicide ganking, here's why.
1) It's been clearly stated by GM's that High-sec is not intended to be safe, it's meant to be safer.
And that really says it all
2) The lack of targets in low-sec has driven pirates and profiteers into high-sec.
I personally am still steadfast to low-sec hunting, but I know many a successful pirates who have taken to war-decs, ninja salvaging, and suicide ganking, and they're having a party. They went there because that's where the targets are, they adapted, and they made a wise choice. Have more courage, come to low-sec, fight for dominance. Or go to 0.0. It's more profitable out there. I would encourage CSM candidates wishing to make low-sec missions or minerals more profitable.
3) If you got popped in high-sec, more than likely, you did something to deserve it.
Auto-piloting with 300mil worth of morphite through a .5? Undocking afk in a life-in-a-box indy from jita? Mining in the same damn high-sec belt in a hulk with high-price mining upgrade mods?
4) There's nothing we can do to stop it!
you're not being creative enough
Let's face it, if you put yourself up on a pedastal as a shiny golden pinata, someone's going to take a swing at you. CCP has given you plenty of alternatives. Go mine under the umbrella of a 0.0 alliance and contribute to a smaller, more localized 0.0 economy. When you're flying your corp's blueprint collection, it's probably a better idea to stuff it into an inertia'd interceptor and avoid that auto-pilot button. As a pirate, I have multiple high-sec alts to fuffill my needs. Hauling, missions, some of us, even mining. But when we mine in high-sec, it's in a mission mining area. When we haul alot of loot, it's stabbed with a buffer tank and sometimes scouted.
The current game mechanics encourage the intelligent and cautious, and punish the stupid and arrogant.
Anyone who wishes to change this is simply looking for an easy way out, and there's too many industrialists in the game right now, all you'd really achieve is the curtailing of your own profits by those less intelligent than yourself.
I'd like to thank you for taking the time to make a good post.
I'm completely in agreement with this post word for word, as it is exactly my own opinion too. I have no intention of voting for Hardin or any one of the other carebears running for the CSM that are in favour of "WoW in space", sorry guys but you are way off on this one.
At the moment there simply is not enough loss in highsec, more than half of the items that can be produced ingame can actually be bought on the market for below build price.
The real problem is that there is not enough suicide gankers in high sec, there are a couple of reasons for this:
1. Concorde hangs around too long at gates, thus depriving other people of suicide ganking lucrative targets.
2. It requires a lot of patience to hang around and wait for a decent target.
3. You take a considerable sec hit, so after some ganks, you then have to go and rat/mission until your sec status comes back up.
Now the girl from Holland who thinks she represents the interests of industrialists, what sensible industrialist is going to vote for you when your against a mechanic that provides them with the demand for their goods
To the guy in Black Star Alliance who shoots red crosses his entire Eve career, I salute you, thanks for being one of the many that pay CCP your monthly subscription so the rest of us can play in the sandbox that CCP created.
Personally I'm not looking for a candidate who panders to the ten whine threads on eve-o yesterday because they got ganked. I'm looking for someone who sees the bigger picture.
Looking to cast my votes for a candidate who is for suicide ganking and thinks wrecks are free for all?

Yeah, and while we're at it we can create a controlled environment around account hacking and credit card fraud and all the other EULA breaches..
