The insurance is basically for the younger players that fit a basic load out so they can get back into the game with out ragequiting. (which happens any way due to their own stupidity usually)
Once you are able to fly ships that require a lot more expensive mods nad hull classes to be effective, you should at the point in the game to make the isk back to replace your hull and the mods/equipment that will at times cost more than the ship itself.
Removing insurance will most likely hurt the noobs that are trying to get into PvP with in the FW arena atm.
As far as Suicide gankers, that is a different separate subject that has been beat around quite a bit.
So really when an older player that fits his/her ship with the mods/rigs to take full advantage of the hull, the insurance payout is pretty small and the loss is fairly substantial.
But then you can argue the point of fly what you can afford. Which actually a good rule to follow.

This topic is about battelships, younger player shoundn't jump into battelships.
It's ok if the ensurance system had favoured smaller ships, but this problem is most urgent for battelships, so the "protect the newb" argument doesn't apply here.
I can kill a gang of cruisers in a t1-fitted cruise raven that costs me a few mil alltogether, even if those cruisers are t2 fitted. For using such a tool like a battelship, i should pay more. But i understand why people want insurance, many come from WoW, where it doesnt't cost anything to be killed except rep and drinks maybe, and they want eve to be the same: a system without steep death penalty.
The problem is, it drives the excitement out of game, no adrenaline anymore, no fun when you know you didn't inflict any harm by killing a dominix.
Today i lost a mighty rokh battelship, but guess what, it was cheaper to lose it than my crow+rigs. Pvp without high stakes for the biggest ships is kinda boring.
Easy dude. I was just making an observation rather than a friggin' argument.
And the part you did not quote OFC is the part I said "you should only fly what you can afford."
Now as the issue about young players "should" not be getting into a BS is absolutely true. I agree with 100%. But trying telling a n00b that. I will bet you that almost every new player that gets into this game goes straight for the biggest damn thing there is.
Now for the n00bs getting into FW, I can see a lot of butt hurt posts and ragequits if insurance is yanked. But thats their problem not yours or mine.
As far your Crow. Well yea t2 polly carb x2 will set you back 400mil. Not counting the snakes, and faction gear you would put on it. But how you fit your ships is your problem.
If insurance is taken a way all together I could really careless.
And btw, I have never played wow or any other MMO.
